Summary
Batman theorises this: while Mind Master is doing the same motions in the physical world, they're not having the same impact.
Batman's body is armoured and being attacked by a man of fairly average strength. But Batman's mind is being attacked by a man with a very powerful psychic weapon, and that's the assault he's feeling the pain from.
But, if Mind Master doesn't let up, the state of his physical body won't matter much anyway.
So Batman keeps his fist clenched and — with much difficulty — raises his arm to at least do something other than lying there and taking it—
Only for the barrage of pain to stop as Mind Master is tackled off of him by a ball of garish colour.
