  Unless the batpoon spear is made of kryptonite, why would Superman have to duck out of the way instead of letting it bounce harmlessly off his chest?

  Thank goodness it’s not a bullet- that’d violate Batman’s moral prohibition on guns!

    Also it’s to make sure he can hit superman. Superman is faster than a speeding bullet, but a batpoon isn’t a bullet. Checkmate

  “No time to duck, but I did think this whole sentence. I could have dodged if I thought faster! Wait it still didn’t hit me? Is that thing in slow motion? I think its slower than a bullet. Thats funny, and what kinda name is Batpoon, its so silly. Should I call my strength “super strength”…oh wait, I d- OW I forgot to move!”

  A god-like alien that is faster than a speeding bullet should be able to easily dodge Batman poon.

    Maybe he doesn’t want to dodge Batmans poon

    Dude, he just got thrown off by just how slow it is. Like in fighting games. You are used to opponent light spamming the ever loving shit outta ya, so when he throws out a slow ass heavy you dodge just for the tracking to jump in later than normal and boom, got hit

    His inability to avoid it is his lesser-known vulnerability.

    Only if Batman poon didn't have time to prep and wasn't prepared first.

      Batman’s solution to Silver Age Superman, a character that can pull planets around on a string:

      “I’ll trip him.”

      It works.
