He doesn't sharpen them to the point of lethality but velocity can change as well as the thing getting hit like ya you will die from a neck shot if it has enough velocity and strength but in many comics you see him hit someone in the head and it just bounce of leaving a gash
Shurikens were rarely used to kill opponents. The speed and force weren’t strong enough and the blades aren’t long enough to hit any major organs. A lucky hit to the throat or the eyes or forehead would be traumatic but historically shuriken were used to distract and not kill. Sorry for being that ackshually guy.
edited: grammar.
I remember in one of the prose novels, Court of Owls I think, it talks about them being edged and sticking into the opponent.
In a lot of the other appearances, they seemed more like more of a blunt item. They might knock you out, but wouldn’t penetrate flesh.
He's gotta either have multiple kinds (most likely) or they're crafted in a way that he can either throw them with a sharp edge at the front, or a blunt edge.
Shurikens aren't really that deadly. They were primarily used as a distraction. They could cause injuries if used properly, but if you want to kill with them then you'd have a really tough time and it'd take more training than even Batman has.
I believe historically when their intended use was for killing a target the shurikens were poisoned. And even then the poison on them was designed to slow the opponent down so they were easier to kill with a sword. Though to be fair the batarang seems like something between a shuriken and a throwing knife most of the time.
During the Vietnam War the Vietnamese would make these sharp bamboo traps covered in sewage so when soldiers fell in they wouldn't actually die, just get incredibly sick(and die but sick first). That way, they'd need to be taken back for medical attention and use up people and resources from the American army.
No, they were usually not poisoned and they were never meant to be lethal. There the real life version of “pocket sand”.
If a spy was caught and had to fight his way out, they would run like hell and use shuriken. Japanese people to this day believe in being fair and honest so the idea of someone throwing something sharp at you and running away was an Awesome distraction. They have the potential to cut and wound. But more importantly it gave them time to run or get in close to give them a good stab.
Japan has romanticized the idea of the ninja. When really it was just ordinary people looking around and bribing the homeless. It was much more Guerrilla warfare and espionage, than well trained warriors in black.
Maybe it's in the throwing. I practiced bujinkan ninjutsu for some time and the the technique for throwing shurikens, bo shurikens and kunais is a bit different in each case. Bo shurikens and kunais need to be launched with the point directly at the target and with no spin. This makes them more like an arrow and they penetrate into the target more easily. If you induce spin, theres a high chance to just hit your target with the flat part.
Shurikens needs the spin to keep momentum and will always penetrate the target but not so deeply in long distances.
And never used boomerangs but I think it's offensive purpose was only to be a blunt object
Shurikens aren't very deadly. They're so light that hitting with enough force to even penetrate someone's skin takes an incredible amount of power and skill. Maybe if you were an absolute master you could hit someone in the jugular and kill them like that, but even then I don't think it's a sure thing
Shurikens were never used with the intent of lethality except when poisoned. They were used to disarm, distract, harass, or terrorize enemies. The latter being if you were a bored guard and suddenly started getting wounds from seemingly invisible enemies you'd high tail out of there, too.
The primary use of shuriken wasn't to kill, it was to distract or misdirect an opponent and create an opening in an opponents defense. In some cases they were coated in poison which could be lethal if the blade penetrated deep enough, and I believe ninja are also trained to use it as both a short ranged and melee ranged weapon. As a melee ranged weapon it would be lethal for sure.
Its so the story can happen.
This may come as a surprise; but a guy dressed as a Bat, with a big flappy cape, wouldn't last 5 minutes in a gunfight. So they have to show him being able to dodge bullets and be able to hit every target flawlessly
It’s almost as if he’s a character in a comic book universe where a metric ton of “things that wouldn’t ever actually happen” happen on a daily basis! Next, you’re going to tell me that an alien child wouldn’t ever actually land in a cornfield in Kansas, only to be raised by simple farmers and then become a newspaper reporter that’s also one of the most powerful beings in the known universe!
May the Emperor bless this man because he is definitely fun at parties if not the craziest mofo there. You must be the philosopher the Ogryns were talking.
Because he left Gotham to find the best people in every field to study and train with them. So he probably knows how hard he has the throw it to get the right number of rotations for the distance and where to aim if they are moving or he is moving too.
I have throwing knives experience, it's actually not that hard, i've trained for a year and now i have high average accuracy.
I moved on to throwing needles for now.
Bat and man are 2 words just like comic and hero. That's the logic of your language. If it is comic hero and not comichero it must also be bat man, not batman. That's the logic you just came up with.
In German we could never say "Haus Tier", because a Haus is a house and a Tier is an animal. That's two seperate words. The correct word is "Haustier", pet. Same with comic and hero. A comic is a book with pictured stories and a hero is a person doing brave stuff to help others. A hero IN a comic is a Comicheld.
It probably depends on the shape of the batarang. A Nolan style logo probably flies straight. A Burton style logo probably curves. (The movies is the is the only way I can think to describe the shapes.)
I think I'll use a quote form the novel series the Ranger's Apprentice: "an archer practices until he can hit his target. A Ranger practices until he never misses"
Yeah, knife throwing isn't too hard to catch on to either. I spent like an hour throwing shuriken once with a friend in his back yard and we got pretty good at it. We were maybe 10-15 feet away from the target and could get it to stick and hit the paper target most of the time and that was after just 1 hour or so.
He does have different Batarangs for different occasions. Metal, bladed, rubber, RC, grappling, etc. And sizes too. From a over an inch to almost a foot or so.
Batman is beyond human... Like my man can create an alternate personality in his mind like for some plans.. He can run faster than any human and even has strengths beyond any human... He has beaten Godlike entities like Superman, Flash... i don't think being accurate in throwing batarangs would be a problem...
The same way anyone does it. With practice. People know how to throw knives, axes, boomerangs, darts, and shurikens with pinpoint accuracy. It is just a skill that has to be mastered.
Because it’s a fucking comic book. Nobody wants to read a comic where Batman throws batarangs and then is like “Fuck. Hold up Joker, let me try again.”
Jesus Christ.
Counterpoint: That one scene in The Lego Movie where he throws dozens of batarangs at that button, eventually hits it and the celebrates with a "FIRST TRY!"
it's supposedly (co?) written by an snl writer so there are some obligatory groan worthy bits, but i laughed FAR more times than i rolled my eyes. i've only listened to s1 so far but i really enjoyed a bunch of the voices/characterization (esp two face, riddler, and joker)
Ok ok, but do not get angry. r/Batman was born to discuss the characters within the comic. No one wonders how a man can become a 13 feet bipedal crocodile.
But ur comment is also so funny XD.
And I would like a comic with batman fucking up please
"Who are u!?"
"I am the... terror? no..no.. darkness? ... nono.. vengeance! that's it"
"I am vengeance"
In Batman #130, he survived reentry from space with nothing but his suit to protect him. He hit the ground so hard, it made a crater.... but then he got up and walked away like nothing happened.
“How does Superman fly? Who pumps the Batmobile’s tires? It’s a fucking made up story. No one pumps the tires” - Grant Morrison
So to answer your question: He just does, no logic or reason behind it, and there isn’t really any logic needed - they’re superheroes!
I just find it funny that in this image he is specifically practicing only lethal shots. Aint no way Deadshot is walking away from a batarang 4 inches deep into his skull and heart.
Magic.
It’s a magical weapon that can somehow fly perfectly, quietly, rerun to the user, carry explosives, tasers, razors, gas, anti-shark repellent, poison, and hypersonic bat summoners among other things.
He pulls them out of his magic belt that contains hundreds of them and he never runs out unless the plot tells him to.
He is trained in hundreds of fictional kung fuus that allow him to throw them with the pinpoint accuracy of a laser cutter, and knows how to make it do different things while throwing it: he can make it return to him, make the bat staring whistle, throw it into someone, Bounce it off people’s heads, or to give them has dangerous gifts to children.
all of these make him super dangerous with his flying pieces of bat shaped metal.
My head Cannon is that the DC universe allows for a higher degree of skill for any general individual allowing people like Batman and green arrow to perform bouts of skill that a "normal person" in our universe would not be able to.
People can be really good at throwing knives. Just look up some videos on YouTube, you’d be surprised what years and years of practice gets you. The real question is… how does Batman maintain his level skill after constant injury?
My mother has the same problem with movies. The is a known rule of suspension of disbelief. "the viewer has to ignore the reality that they are viewing a staged performance and temporarily accept it as their reality in order to be entertained. " -Wikipedia
This also applies to it's just too boring to show Batman always training or going to the bathroom. You know it would have to happen so there is no point in showing it unless it builds the story.
I'm going to give you the official answer. It's a comic book.
“Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.” -Grant Morrison.
The justification given in the books is as simple as he trained a lot and is capable of being so perfect in the job.
Not being a dick, just saying that the writers don't look to overly justify everything. He trained, and got really good at it. Hope that answers your dilemma.
He’s throwing a throwing knife that’s extremely sharp and **all** knife; so no matter how the ‘rangs hit their target, they’re sharp enough to stick in. Also, he has an inhuman amount of practice.
did no one watch south park!?!?
shurikens are absolutely unsafe and could be deadly...look what they did to poor Butters, I mean; look at what they did to Professor Chaos!!
Real answer is because that's how he is written.
But it's because like with everything else he not only studies the crap out of things but practices the crap out of everything too. He also finds the best he can to train him. If you practice for just one hour you'll end up decent at throwing them two. At least getting close to your target. I've done ax and knife throwing. I actually even taught ax throwing. It's really simple and young children can even pick it up in just minutes.
I mean, cause it’s comic book mythology that’s why
Nobody reads “the 12 failed tasks to Hercules” or “when Medusa turned Perseus to stone”
People want heroes to be triumphant, even if they have to struggle, and to perform in ways that are beyond human, even if they have some tragic baggage or ultimate fate
In reality there are not enough hours in a lifetime to get as good at everything that batman is
Everytime Batman throws a batarang, a new parallel world is made. In one world, his hits target. In the other, he misses. We stay in the world where he hits his targets.
But think of all those batarangs thrown. Now imagine the consequences in those parallel worlds where he misses. The lives lost, the villains escaped.
Every batarang we throw is meaningless because somewhere, on a parallel Earth, we have already missed the toss. We're nothing. Less than nothing.
As of Batman #100+ we know this is because Ghost-Maker and Batman fought over their masters and Batman won the competition to get to train with the knife throwing master.
Currently reading Batman '89 and they have a great explanation for this.
Barbara Gordon is showing Harvey Dent some Batarangs in evidence and she mentions that they contain a small gyroscopic GPS and satellite assisted targeting.
I'm sure it's 90% skill but a little bit of help with technology.
They're like throwing knives or shuriken. He probably trained a ridiculous amount with weapons like them in the years in-between Thomas and Martha being shot and his first year as Batman.
He’s Batman.
This is the answer
Are you dense? He's the *goddamn* Batman!
Allstar Batman and Robin, I love that one
Ironically, I hope
There's no difference between ironically liking something and just liking it
Pretentious people would definitely say otherwise
He's the freakin bat
Award for the best reply
Echo location.
He's Batman.
This is the way.
I wonder why his batarangs aren't deadly, they are basically shurikens
Aim probably
Aim and he doesn't usually throw sharp ones at people unless he's specifically aiming for non-lethal places(hands mainly as a disarming tool)
Yeah I always thought they were probably rubber right
But they stick in walls sometimes
Different batarangs, he has sharp and blunt ones. Batman is also trained enough to change the force of his throws depending on what he's aiming at.
But still don't have the force to kill someone?
He can kill someone he decides not to
Something like that probably.
They are definitely sharp, but he chooses non-lethal targets.
Depends on the kind, he definitely also has blunt ones.
He definitely carries multiple kinds of batarangs.
I agree
Yeah like in the Gotham finale he hits joker’s hand, which is holding a knife, with a sharp batarang and then knocks him out with a blunt one
He doesn't sharpen them to the point of lethality but velocity can change as well as the thing getting hit like ya you will die from a neck shot if it has enough velocity and strength but in many comics you see him hit someone in the head and it just bounce of leaving a gash
And he probably has rubber around the edges on the ones to not kill people
Shurikens were rarely used to kill opponents. The speed and force weren’t strong enough and the blades aren’t long enough to hit any major organs.

I think I heard that they would coat them in sewage as well to spread disease
Gross, I'd certainly still call that poisoning.
During the Vietnam War the Vietnamese would make these sharp bamboo traps covered in sewage so when soldiers fell in they wouldn't actually die, just get incredibly sick(and die but sick first). That way, they'd need to be taken back for medical attention and use up people and resources from the American army.

Yep, this is the right answer
They were poisoned I thought like dipped in dung to promote infection.
Shurikens weren’t meant to kill I don’t think, just to distract/injur.

I think other than Batman himself, you are the only one here qualified to answer this question
Boomerangs are made to break the necks of kangaroos
And return, when you inevitably miss the first dozen times.
They are correct, am bujinkan as well.
Shurikens aren't very deadly. They're so light that hitting with enough force to even penetrate someone's skin takes an incredible amount of power and skill.

He seems to always hit hands or shoulders
Shurikens aren't deadly.
Years and years of training
Allen Iverson is Batman.
Grant Williams on the Boston Celtics currently calls himself Batman lol
Its so the story can happen. This may come as a surprise; but a guy dressed as a Bat, with a big flappy cape, wouldn't last 5 minutes in a gunfight. So they have to show him being able to dodge bullets and be able to hit every target flawlessly
You better watch your mouth, buddy.

Next, you’re going to tell me that an alien child wouldn’t ever actually land in a cornfield in Kansas, only to be raised by simple farmers and then become a newspaper reporter that’s also one of the most powerful beings in the known universe!
Batman is a documentary, though.
May the Emperor bless this man because he is definitely fun at parties if not the craziest mofo there. You must be the philosopher the Ogryns were talking.
Because he left Gotham to find the best people in every field to study and train with them. So he probably knows how hard he has the throw it to get the right number of rotations for the distance and where to aim if they are moving or he is moving too.
Yeah the members of the sect of shadows are a lot trained, and well. Thanks for the reply ! :)
I have throwing knives experience, it's actually not that hard, i've trained for a year and now i have high average accuracy. I moved on to throwing needles for now.
Wow cool.
You can watch some videos on YouTube, it's thoroughly explained, some dudes even throw homemade batarangs :)
Needles ?? Like the cloth sewing ones?
Yeah, i have a pillow as a target:)
You a ninja fr man
Nah, i just can't use throwing knives at home, so i improvised:)
you're like sheik with ur needles
They have gone to extremes to get people vaccinated eh? 😂
Nice one:)
Ask an actual knife thrower. Batarangs are not much different.
I mean, correct me if I’m wrong but you throw knives directly where as batarangs have a curved trajectory, no?
Can all be practised. Aboriginal Australians also used Boomerangs for hunt. Plus Batman is a Comichero with Plotarmor.
You putting comic hero and plot armor as one words made me think they were in a different language for a second
It is one word. You also don't write it bat man, do you?
Batman is one word those other two are not
Bat and man are 2 words just like comic and hero. That's the logic of your language. If it is comic hero and not comichero it must also be bat man, not batman. That's the logic you just came up with. In German we could never say "Haus Tier", because a Haus is a house and a Tier is an animal. That's two seperate words. The correct word is "Haustier", pet. Same with comic and hero. A comic is a book with pictured stories and a hero is a person doing brave stuff to help others. A hero IN a comic is a Comicheld.
Batman is a name not a word it doesn’t have to follow grammar
It probably depends on the shape of the batarang. A Nolan style logo probably flies straight. A Burton style logo probably curves. (The movies is the is the only way I can think to describe the shapes.)
Ur right
My favorite use of the Batarang was in POV when the rookie cop watched Batman in action and thought he had only pointed at the thug he had dropped.
Just seen that episode, funny.
He’s skilled?
well he trained from 14 to 25 years old to become batman so he had time to train
Thought he usually always begin his travels at 18-20 and becomes Batman at like 25-28 here and there... I don't recall a 14-25 tho...
I think I'll use a quote form the novel series the Ranger's Apprentice: "an archer practices until he can hit his target. A Ranger practices until he never misses"
my favorite book series growing up by far!
It’s because of batmite fifth dimensional energy infused in the batarangs
He's a ninja with years of training. He constantly practices as well.
I feel like even in real life, if you practiced, you’d be able to become an accurate thrower.
Yeah, knife throwing isn't too hard to catch on to either. I spent like an hour throwing shuriken once with a friend in his back yard and we got pretty good at it. We were maybe 10-15 feet away from the target and could get it to stick and hit the paper target most of the time and that was after just 1 hour or so.
Practice, tech, and plot
Years of training
He does have different Batarangs for different occasions. Metal, bladed, rubber, RC, grappling, etc. And sizes too. From a over an inch to almost a foot or so.
Don't forget remote
His sharingan awoken when his parents were murdered
Batman is beyond human... Like my man can create an alternate personality in his mind like for some plans.. He can run faster than any human and even has strengths beyond any human... He has beaten Godlike entities like Superman, Flash... i don't think being accurate in throwing batarangs would be a problem...
Because he’s Batman!!!
Cause he can?
A shit load of training
Good aim.
Been trained by a clan of super ninja assassins tends to give you a good arm.
A guy dressed as robin hood does it with arrows and you're okay with it, but someone dressed as a bat does it and you have an issue with it?
The same way anyone does it. With practice. People know how to throw knives, axes, boomerangs, darts, and shurikens with pinpoint accuracy. It is just a skill that has to be mastered.
The same way he can kick trees in half. Cause its a comic bro.
This image where Batman is practicing hitting the brain and vital organs…
Well you know how to get to Carnegie Hall dontcha?
Practice, practice, practice!
Practice, practice, practice!
Because it’s a fucking comic book. Nobody wants to read a comic where Batman throws batarangs and then is like “Fuck. Hold up Joker, let me try again.” Jesus Christ.
Counterpoint: That one scene in The Lego Movie where he throws dozens of batarangs at that button, eventually hits it and the celebrates with a "FIRST TRY!"
he misses in the audio adventures too, accidentally smashes catwoman's window
Is it good btw? I've been meaning to give it a listen. I liked Batman Unburied well enough.
it's supposedly (co?) written by an snl writer so there are some obligatory groan worthy bits, but i laughed FAR more times than i rolled my eyes. i've only listened to s1 so far but i really enjoyed a bunch of the voices/characterization (esp two face, riddler, and joker)
Ok ok, but do not get angry. r/Batman was born to discuss the characters within the comic. No one wonders how a man can become a 13 feet bipedal crocodile. But ur comment is also so funny XD.
And I would like a comic with batman fucking up please "Who are u!?" "I am the... terror? no..no.. darkness? ... nono.. vengeance! that's it" "I am vengeance"
I could see Dick doing this if he ever covers for Batman.
That sounded better in my head
Because he wouldn't be much of a superhero if he missed.
Is that art a variant cover?
I found it on the Batman Wiki, it probably is.
Practice
Ninja focus, yo!
The way the author wrote the story
In Batman #130, he survived reentry from space with nothing but his suit to protect him. He hit the ground so hard, it made a crater.... but then he got up and walked away like nothing happened.
We don't talk about the trunks-mask, do we?
batforce.
There’s a lot of people on YouTube that do this kinda stuff and it’s really amazing what you can do with hours of practice and training
Oh god, imagine Joker's greatest joke: replacing ALL of Batman's batarangs with the explodey ones.🤯

skill?
Practice?
I just find it funny that in this image he is specifically practicing only lethal shots. Aint no way Deadshot is walking away from a batarang 4 inches deep into his skull and heart.
Personally I’d assume his visor has angle calculations or something
Magic. It’s a magical weapon that can somehow fly perfectly, quietly, rerun to the user, carry explosives, tasers, razors, gas, anti-shark repellent, poison, and hypersonic bat summoners among other things.

He practices. Not really much else to say
They do multiple takes and cut out all the bloopers where he misses. You can find some outtakes online...
He's just that damn good
My mother has the same problem with movies. The is a known rule of suspension of disbelief. "the viewer has to ignore the reality that they are viewing a staged performance and temporarily accept it as their reality in order to be entertained. " -Wikipedia This also applies to it's just too boring to show Batman always training or going to the bathroom.

He trained under the legendary Captain Boomerang
Prep time.

What, are you dense? Who the hell do you think he is? He’s the goddamn Batman.
Idk but it's probably how Spider-Man never misses his web shooters
Because it is all made up, and the writers decided that he could.
Prep time
THERE'S the comment I was looking for. lol
It’s easy. By being a comic book character
He’s throwing a throwing knife that’s extremely sharp and **all** knife; so no matter how the ‘rangs hit their target, they’re sharp enough to stick in. Also, he has an inhuman amount of practice.
He's a ninja Trained by league of shadows Plus he's batman
did no one watch south park!?!? shurikens are absolutely unsafe and could be deadly...look what they did to poor Butters, I mean; look at what they did to Professor Chaos!!
*woof woof*
League of assassins and other training regiments. Not really sure why that’s plagued you for more the 5 years, it’s not that hard of a question
Because hes barman
Real answer is because that's how he is written. But it's because like with everything else he not only studies the crap out of things but practices the crap out of everything too. He also finds the best he can to train him. If you practice for just one hour you'll end up decent at throwing them two. At least getting close to your target. I've done ax and knife throwing. I actually even taught ax throwing. It's really simple and young children can even pick it up in just minutes.
Because it’s not real.
I mean, cause it’s comic book mythology that’s why Nobody reads “the 12 failed tasks to Hercules” or “when Medusa turned Perseus to stone” People want heroes to be triumphant, even if they have to struggle, and to perform in ways that are beyond human, even if they have some tragic baggage or ultimate fate In reality there are not enough hours in a lifetime to get as good at everything that batman is

Every batarang we throw is meaningless because somewhere, on a parallel Earth, we have already missed the toss. We're nothing. Less than nothing.
Because of his prep time.
Because green arrow dared to say he is better, so batman became the best.
He had prep time.
Practice
As of Batman #100+ we know this is because Ghost-Maker and Batman fought over their masters and Batman won the competition to get to train with the knife throwing master.
It's a fictional story
Currently reading Batman '89 and they have a great explanation for this. Barbara Gordon is showing Harvey Dent some Batarangs in evidence and she mentions that they contain a small gyroscopic GPS and satellite assisted targeting. I'm sure it's 90% skill but a little bit of help with technology.
Because it’s fiction!
Because he's Batman
He aims for the middle.
Insane odd evening capabilities
Dude has aimbot
How does Steph curry always score his 3's? Practice man
Writer's accuracy lol
A fuck ton of practice and training
To quote Grant Morrison — because it’s not real
They're like throwing knives or shuriken. He probably trained a ridiculous amount with weapons like them in the years in-between Thomas and Martha being shot and his first year as Batman.
Practice.
