10 Batman Plot-Holes Everyone Just Accepts

4. How He 'Un-Broke' His Back - Batman #10

Batman Unbreaks Spine
DC Comics

Bane's most famous act is his breaking of Batman's back, so every time the two face off it is bound to be brought up, either just in conversation or literally.

In issue ten of Tom King's Batman run, Bruce and Bane battled once again, and, as a part of his plan, the Caped Crusader let himself be captured. This defeat included Bane taking his knee to the Bat's back and then dumping him into a water-logged cell.

The following panels then saw the dark knight punch the wall of said cell to create hand and foot holds, drag himself up, and then bend over backwards, miraculously fixing his very recently broken back.

Now, my anatomical knowledge could simply be lacking, but how the heck does that work? Such impressive healing seems like it could do with a little more explaining, especially as Batman does not have any superhuman abilities.
