A workout program should be intentional so as to cultivate the tactical traits needed by the athlete. In Batman's case, or yours if you want to train like him, he needs to cultivate the following components-
If you want to look like a superhero that's fine. Aesthetics have their place, and I don't mind admitting that I want to feel confident when I take my shirt off at the pool. But for me, and I believe this is certainly in line with what Mr. Wayne would think, performance trumps all. But performance in what?

Here's the thing- Becoming a polymath is all about balance and relativity. Figuring out the exact best path for yourself is a journey that only you yourself can undertake.
