By : Michael Alim Alviso 

There is not a single comics' fan who does not know Batman. Actually, he is the most popular superhero of DC comics. Despite the fact that Batman does not possess any superpower that typical superheroes have, he is capable of defeating any villain he encounters no matter how strong they are. Here are the top ten reasons why.

Reason Number 10: The Bat Cave

One of the reasons why villains cannot win against Batman is that they cannot find him. The bat cave serves as the headquarters and hiding place for the Caped Crusader. The cave are also equipped with supercomputers connected to cameras that batman installed around the city. This gives batman the edge over his enemies, because it allows him to monitor what they are doing.

Reason Number 9: He Does Not Trust Anyone

Unlike other superheroes who trust anyone easily, the word "trust" is not in the vocabulary of the Dark Knight. He views everyone as potential enemies including his friends in the JLA (Justice League Association). In fact, in the movie "JLA: Tower of Babel", it was revealed that the Bat have formulated specific strategies on how to defeat each member of the JLA.

Reason Number 8: Money Is Power

The Bat is the most powerful superhero when in terms of money. He is a multi-billionaire, which in turn allows him to devise any weapon he would need in order to defeat his enemies. In one episode of Justice League Animated Series, the Dark Knight was able to thwart the plan of Lex Luthor by bribing one of his minions.

Reason Number 7: Highly Skilled in Martial Arts 

If villains think that they can take down the Caped Crusader easily, because he does not have superpowers, then they are wrong. The Dark Knight is a master of martial arts, allowing him to defeat any villains in hand-to-hand combat. In Marvel vs. DC crossover, batman was able to defeat Captain America in a fight, another superhero who is expert in hand-to-hand combat.

Reason Number 6: Secret Identity

The Caped Crusader is fully masked, which makes it hard for any villain to recognize his identity, unless they have the same X-ray vision as superman. Furthermore, his personality as Bruce Wayne is different from his alter ego. Everyone view Bruce Wayne as a playboy billionaire. No one can guess that he is actually batman.

Reason Number 5: Master of Stealth

Another reason why villains cannot win against Batman is that he is a master of stealth. He does not fight them head on, but rather hide in the shadows and wait for the perfect time to attack. Furthermore, he only operates at night and with his black costume, he is literally invisible in the dark. No matter how strong the opponent, he or she cannot win if he cannot see the Bat.

Reason Number 4: Gadgets

The Dark Knight has hundreds of gadgets and weaponry he can use to take down villains and super villains. He has different types of batarangs that can do heavy damage to his opponents. He also has the bat mobile and bat plane that is also equipped with powerful weapons. Furthermore, with his money, he can invent any gadgets he can use to achieve his purpose.

Reason Number 3: No One Scares the Bat

Batman is afraid of bats when he is still a kid. In fact, this is his greatest fear. One of the reasons why he has chosen to be batman and be in a bat cave full of bats is to overcome his fear. When he successfully overcomes his fear of bats, he becomes capable of overcoming his fears when fighting villains, regardless of their strengths and powers. 

Reason Number 2: A Beautiful Mind

What the Batman lack in strength, he fills them up with his intelligence. Batman is always a hundred steps ahead of his opponents. When he fights a powerful villain, he will not come with nothing, but rather with a solid plan on how to defeat him or her. He would plan for everything, including worst-case scenarios. 

Reason Number 1: He Is Batman

Search the net on why Batman always wins; the fans answer will be, "Because he is Batman!" Whether you are a fan of batman or not, you must always accept the truth that he will always win, simply because he is Batman.

Batman manages to defeat his opponents even when he doesn't possess any supernatural powers. However, the Dark knight has superb qualities that makes him one of the best superheroes in the comics universe.
