I totally agree that when super villians are introduced, super heroes make more sense.The interesting thing for me is that, usually, Bruce Wayne's decision to become batman isn't about super villians, its a response to his parents being killed in a random murder. So he wasn't thinking "I need all this training and equipment to fight super villians." He was thinking he needed it to address street crime. This story follows that same idea - he's not thinking about fighting super villians, he's just  walking around beating up criminals.  Of course, it leads to stories that people enjoy reading, but it always seems odd to me.
