Methinks the Batmobile can do a bit better than 120 km/h... after all, it's
got a turbocharger.

Seriously, though, I think you'll find that Enhanced Physical Attributes can
be applied to one attribute at a time. So Varny is either stronger than an
underpowered locomotive (Body), faster than a speeding sub-sub-sub-sonic
bullet (Quickness), or able to leap short buildings in a single bound
(Strength). But not all at once. :)
