How is Batman a user? The power's definition is "The ability to be vastly superior to one's kind and evolve further through experience. Combination of Supernatural Condition and Self Transcendence.". Batman possesses neither a supernatural condition, nor is he self transcending (at least I believe so). Yes, he is superior to most normal humans, but the powers' applications state absolute command is apart of the power, which Bruce Wayne does not have generally. His IQ is also 192, which is incredibly high, though it is not "vastly superior to one's kind", as it can be surpassed. William James Sidis was estimated to have an IQ that was 50-100 points higher than Albert Einstein's, and Albert Einstein's IQ was estimated to be from 160-180. This would mean he'd have an Iq of 210-230. He is far superior to most normal humans, though several normal humans could bypass him. He does, however, have  mastery over 127 different martial arts, and claims to of read every book in the world. Reading every book in the world would take hundreds of thousands of years in some cases. If he could read every book in 5 seconds (extremely unrealistic), he'd still take over 20 years, and new books would be written. Assuming he could even remember all of this (Could be possible, as though the brain has around 4 terabytes of storage its complex connections allow several zetabytes of storage), he'd have to put it all to use. Now, this is DC, and "normal humans" are much different in it. Batman is the second smartest being on earth according to DC, next to Lex Luthor. This means that there is CONFIRMED to be someone who is more intelligent than him, also invalidating this. Of course, I'm not omniscient nor am I the peak of humanity's evolution by far, I didn't read every possible article on batman, and I may be wrong (alongside there being myriads of version of batman, all with different feats).
