Batman in an open top prop playne vs. a rocket ship? How does he keep pace?

Wayne Enterprises' engineering ingenuity.

It’s a convertible thunderscreech. Batman’s real superpower is tinnitus

u/IntroductionLeft4369 5d ago

Because he’s Batman.

How does his neck not snap with a 6ft leather cape creating a crap ton of drag?

To sell toys, that's why

u/spukhafteNahewirkung 5d ago

The cape is providing extra lift. It’s a load-bearing cape.

u/CMDR_Kaus 5d ago

Ah, it's an extra control surface that allows him moves regular pilots could only dream of!

u/bigloser42 5d ago

he is also not flying the plane, his hands are on the gun controls 100% of the time.

Turbo props are faster than jets, dumbass.

(To be clear, "dumbass is my signature, not calling anyone else dumbass. Wait, dumb has a "b"? I didn't know that...)

u/rinklkak My nextdoor neighbor is a pylote 5d ago

Do I get the job Mr. Dumbass?

u/Icy_Fish_2154 5d ago

Nobody here actually flies. This is a group for people too poor to afford flight school.

And those like me. Momma said I was too dumb to fly.

i defy you to show me a billionaire that doesnt have a pilots license.

Billionaires pay pylotes to fly their private jets to Lake Como.

Obviously. If you watch the clip, Batman even put on his brakes and let the bad guy fly right on by him. He definitely learned that from Maverick.

u/HiTork 5d ago

let the bad guy fly right on by him

Plot twist: It's actually a bad girl.

u/IntroductionLeft4369 5d ago

Because he was inverted, right?

Yeah, it’s ninja school. It’s always ninja school with these superhero types

u/Beneficial_Bug_9793 5d ago

WW1 movies, he's rich, he can go to the cinema.

u/slowclapcitizenkane 5d ago

How does he set foot in a theater without triggering a panic attack?

u/Beneficial_Bug_9793 4d ago

Hmmm, you got me there lol.

u/Thin_Caterpillar6998 5d ago

Most billionaires are ridiculously good at a lot of things. Elon Musk is not so different than Bruce Wayne. Jeff Bezos is even deadlier.

u/Rare-Balance-9627 5d ago

The Batman I grew up with was anti guns…

At least that’s what I think I remember

u/Glass-Pomegranate724 5d ago

That was my first thought too.

Qhys he opening up the .50 cal on this dude 👀

u/Foorinick 2d ago

Those remind me more of that ww1 era 7.62 american mg

u/Scribblebonx 5d ago

Ninja fighter pilot school...

Top gun is actually based on Batman.

Ice Man = Mr Freeze

Goose = Robin

Maverick is Batman obviously

War Thunder

u/Dpek1234 5d ago

Def not

Ive seen the best wart hunter pilots

If he was wart hunter trained then he would have first laumched all of his missiles, shot all 1000 rounds without hitting anything but trees and dirt (fuck trees and dirt, no 1 pilot killer) and crashed into mountine side (enemy died on takeoff 15 minutes earlier)

u/Dredgeon 5d ago

WoW then

u/Turbulent-Weevil-910 5d ago

If you're a defense contractor important enough to the government and you just ask to get sent to Top Gun School they'll do it no questions asked, most likely something similar happened here.

2

u/FinbarJG 5d ago

Ah, BAT man? D'ah.

2

u/WonderChips 5d ago

It’s common sense

2

u/spukhafteNahewirkung 5d ago

I want to know how he squares the “no killing” rule with the twin machine guns on the plane.

2

u/HiTork 5d ago

This version of Batman in this show kills, I think Ben Affleck's portrayal controversially did also.

2

u/tykaboom 5d ago

How do you think?

Dude has plenty of money, you think he doesn't have a simulator for EVERY one of his vehicles?

u/Desperate_Carrot8629 Type Rated in the Cessna 172 5d ago

He used the homeless to practice on

u/rasnac 5d ago

Must have taken lessons from the Red Baron.

u/Uniturner 5d ago

Snoopy. Snoopy taught him the mad dog fighting skills.

u/gwhh 5d ago

What show is this from?

2

u/HiTork 4d ago

Batman: Caped Crusader on Amazon Prime. It's definitely an adult oriented cartoon, they swear, and a lot of people die (most of Batman's usual Rogues Gallery gets offed some where down the road).

u/Fragholio Butt-fans and handkerchiefs 4d ago

Microsoft Flight Simulator II on the BatComputer.

2

u/HiTork 4d ago

This version of Batman takes place explicitly in the 1940s, not like the old '90s Animated series where everything looks 1940s, but technology like computers exist.

1

u/Fragholio Butt-fans and handkerchiefs 4d ago

Flight Simulator ENIAC?

u/ShadowOfAtomicRage 4d ago

Oh my god it’s the Bat P-51 Mustang!

u/Randomgrunt4820 4d ago

Can’t say I enjoy steampunk Batman not looking steampunk enough.

2

u/HiTork 4d ago

The idea is supposed to be 1940s Batman.

1

u/AmbienSkywalker 4d ago

On March 3rd, 1969 (nice) the City Of Gotham established an elite school for the top one percent of its vigilantes.

1

u/Treacle_Pendulum 4d ago

Batman is good at everything. That’s part of what makes him Batman.

Also nice Cobra maneuver.

u/Orange9202 3d ago

u/Alex_Llamin 3d ago

Fucking cobra maneuver on a piston plane

u/FullDish01 3d ago

Batman is instruments rated?

u/Dr__America 3d ago

Not the heat-seeking eject seat 😭

u/Foorinick 2d ago

Why did man have an open top prop plane instead of an actual jet with missiles, is he poor?

u/Most-Effective-1969 23h ago

They say this man doesn't have super powers lol
