On two separate occasions, Batman reacts to RPGs after they are fired. Here's the first occasio (skip to 6:38) and the second (skip to 33:55) These feats look like they should put him at a higher speed than Peak Human. Possibly Subsonic? Any input would be appreciated. This should also scale to a decent number of other characters from the Arkham Series.
 
The feat looks fine to me.

I don't have a speed for the grenade launcher used in the game, but I can use the speed of RPG-7 grenade launcher, it's close enough I think.

According to Wikipedia, the muzzle velocity (the speed of the projectile leaving the weapon) for RPG-7 is 115 m/s, while the speed the projectile gains in flight after 10 meters of distance, is ~300 m/s.

Judging by the screenshot below, the distance to me looks less than 10 meters, so I think applying the 115 m/s would be appropriate. That would put Batman, and anyone who scales to him, to Subsonic speed.
 
Yes, you can go ahead and do that. Please remember to edit the pages with Source Editor and according to the formats already in use.
