All you need to be Batman
To be a polymath like Batman, you have to work harder than the extraordinary as well as be more tactful. You need to invest extra time in various subjects as well as acquire fast learning skills. But how did Bruce Wayne, the real Batman, do that? How do you do it?

Getting enough time

In a video on the Batman origins, the YouTube channel The Imaginary Axis describes Batman's Uberman sleep schedule. It shows how Batman maintains a 'polyphagic sleep cycle' and reduces sleep deprivation to make time for his work.

That is, our super-hero, the real Batman, took two to three hours of nap four to six times a day for only 30 minutes, without sleeping for six to eight hours at a time. Although many believe that the polyphagic sleep method is just as effective as continuous sleep. But thanks to research, we know that this amount of sleep is harmful to any human being. In addition to reducing the normal response time, long-term sleep deprivation can increase the risk of diseases such as heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.

But the most important thing for Batman is to react immediately and he should not suffer from disease. Then we can take over, Batman, the need for sleep is less. The rationale is that he uses nootropic drugs such as modafinil to reduce the need for sleep. Or, fortunately, his body is affected by genes such as DEC-2, which greatly reduce a person's sleep.

Bruce Wayne inherited a lot of property and money because he owned the Wayne Enterprise. Living in luxury. That's why you don't have to spend time on jobs or business. The whole time he can invest in becoming Batman. In this case, even if you do not have to inherit a lot of property to create extra time for learning various things, you have to depend on one or more passive income.

On the other hand, relationships, habits, and hobbies that require extra time may have to be wasted.

Acquire fast learning skills
Now you have extra time to learn various things as well as become proficient in body building, martial arts. However, it is still not enough to master various things. According to Canadian journalist Malcolm Gladwell's book, The Outlaw: The Story of Success, a minimum of ten thousand hours is required to become proficient in a subject. That is, according to this policy, if you invest even 20 hours a week, it will take about ten years to become proficient in one subject. Although many researchers think that just this long-term practice will not make you proficient in any subject. On the other hand, you may learn more in less time than many. But it's not enough to be successful in everything like Batman.



In this case, accelerated learning strategies can help you to become proficient in various things in a short time. Take, for example, the physicist Richard Feynman's The Feynman technique. Where he points out four strategies for learning a thing. Feynman thought you should continue to practice on a subject until you can explain it to someone who is absolutely inexperienced. On the other hand, Tim Farris's DST3 learning strategy can also help you learn something quickly.

Our true Batman used a variety of memory-techniques in addition to speed-reading from time to time to get a quick and thorough idea of ​​something and to remember it.

Nowadays, of course, with the help of the Internet, enough resources can be gathered on any subject, and classes at various universities can be attended online. In other words, you have the opportunity to gain knowledge about something faster than Batman.

It is also possible to make the brain more useful in learning various things by increasing the 'brain plasticity' or plasticity of the brain.

Generally speaking, brain plasticity is the ability of the brain to adapt to any change. When we try to learn something new, to develop a new habit, our brain secretes certain chemicals and causes temporary changes in the brain. And doing the same thing over and over again permanently brings about lasting changes in the brain, increasing the plasticity of the brain; That is, it increases the capacity of the brain, making it more useful.


We can increase the capacity of the brain as well as make it more useful if we want to;
Regularly learning new things, physical exercise, nutritious food, meditation helps to increase the plasticity of the brain. In addition, it is possible to increase brain plasticity by using a variety of supplements and nootropics, including magnesium threonate.

At this stage you have made enough time to learn various subjects. The whole time, including learning martial arts, going to the gym, is investing in learning a specific subject. You also know how to increase your ability to learn faster. Now let's talk about Batman's physical abilities.


Among other things, the biggest part of the Batman character is his physical abilities. Its strength, speed and endurance. And that's why he regularly goes through all sorts of difficult physical exercises.

According to The Batman Files, Batman's one-day routine workout routine includes Olympic lifting sachets and clean-jerks, as well as calisthenics, endurance training, and even half an hour of running. And all this Batman has to do while learning the various things mentioned earlier, including crime-fighting.

First of all, steroids can be very useful in this regard. Although some comics have Batman as a power-enhancing super-stay called ‘Vanam’ Ryod has been seen to use. But Batman is not dependent on steroids. Moreover, increase in strength and stamina helps in speedy recovery but long term use of steroids is harmful for the body. In addition to lowering the normal immune system, the body's normal steroid secretion also slows down. As a result, if you suddenly stop using steroids, you may face various deadly physical problems including weakness, vomiting and abdominal pain. So?

Some comics have shown Batman using an energy-enhancing super-steroid called Venom;
In the book ‘Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Super Hero’, author E. As Paul Zehr noted, Batman consumes an additional 4,000 calories per day to maintain other physical activity, including adequate recovery, where the amount of protein is high. As well as taking extra vitamins and antioxidants to strengthen the immune system to boost immunity.

For a quick recovery, Batman has long resorted to ice-baths, or contrast baths. He also resorted to various supplements to increase his energy level.



On the other hand, he meditates to improve his mental discipline. Comic is seen training him in ‘Tomo Meditation’. With this method of meditation it is possible to control body temperature and heart rate. Interestingly, a Dutch athlete named Wim Huff can use this method to hold his breath for long periods of time, including sitting on an empty body in the face of extreme cold. He has 23 more world-records, including a marathon record at the North Pole after only shorts.

By following the above protocols, you may be able to physically adapt to a variety of extreme workout routines, such as Batman.
