If you don’t mind having 2 days per week where you perform 10 sets of squats, or running 20 miles on your “off” day, you too can fight crime.
Here’s a copy of Batman’s actual workout log, at least according to “The Batman Files,” a new book which details lots of stuff about our favorite Dark Knight.
I was asked to review the workout in an interview for Men’s Fitness. The review is on their site.

Remember Batman can also bench press 1000lbs as stated in a comic book
He also has a perfect diet that he never goes off of, thats why he drinks ginger ale at parties and pretends its champagne
also i love how batman only does total body movements and no isolation movements, the guy looks like a bodybuilder and obviously wants every single muscle as strong as possible.
I think his workouts would look more like a strongman/bodybuilder hybrid.
I dont think his cardio would be nearly so high because he has that training at night every night crime fighting so why the hell would he be wasting his time doing simple steady state cardio? Hes a genius he would know thats not the best way to gain the type of explosive speed, strength, endurance he needs. His workouts probably would not be nearly as taxing as these would be. He wouldnt focus on fu*king circuits if he has cardiovascular training all damn night. his training should be broken into, martial arts training and strength/power/speed training. Im going to remake his program based on how I would do it if i was Batman which i am

Yeah…doing 20 miles at 4:50 pace then adding “must try to cut 30 seconds from each minute next time” sounds nutty.

Lol, no not Bale’s workout.
They’ve got batman squatting 10 sets of 5 with 525 pounds.
This is the workout of the canon DC batman.

Lol, superman doesn’t do any strength training. He gets all of his strength from the sun.
I think he did get some fighting training from Batman, though.
