It seems to me that characters like Batman, Robin (specifically Dick), Batgirl, Daredevil, Arsenal, Green Arrow, Catwoman, etc. utilize Parkour during their escapades running around the city.
Yes, Dick was raised in the Circus. Daredevil's abilities allow him to know the way to land from high falls. So yes, those two have excuses. But it has occurred to me that they all see proficient at this.
Think about everything they do, and compare it to this:
What say you?

It's obviously a case by case basis, but yes, most street level combatants are rather agile in comparison to regular humans, considering most regularly travel on rooftops and even bullet dodge.

Is there ever an explanation, other than martial art abilities? Being a martial artist does not necessarily mean you can do what they do. |

Constant training and superior physical shape, I'd assume.

Selina trained herself in acrobatics since childhood, so she has an excuse as well.

Batman is a ninja. That's good enough an explanation for me.

None of them hold a candle to Ezio. You know it to be true.

Well, no. Not really. I hardly remember the last time I actually saw Batman free run. He usually gets around via rope gun and, you know, car.

And, by extension, gaps larger than anything he himself has ever jumped. Your point? Batman does free running all the time, over gaps bigger then anything Ezio has ever done anyway. The only time he uses a rope is jumping holes Ezio would not be able to jump anyway. Bruce is better then him in every way . |

But on the main topic, I suppose you wouldn't mind showing how Batman actually does this on a regular basis, without any ropes, guns, capes or similar gadgets or vehicles? |

Crom, three back to back storylines more than a decade old do not adequate proof for "Regular basis" make. My point stands. Batman doesn't free run under normal circumstances.
