Reply to comment by Ashamed_Ladder6161 in I dont think some people understood the difference between Riddler and Edward in THE BATMAN by Videowulff

That is omthe inherit problem with batman overall. When you really sit there and look at it, he is just a big guy in a silly bat costume. Nolan tried mixing the Armor with the Comic Look and for the most part, to me at least, it looks fine.

Batfleck's works better because we rarely see him surrounded by Normal people. He is usually in the shadows or fighting along others with just as silly costumes

I like Battinson's armor because it looks like it was cobbled together. Boots with belt buckles, chest armor, flight suit.. all random things he pieced together. I also like that its the first time we see him w actual makeup on around the eyes XD. I feel it is just Bat Enough to fit the character (without the mask its just body armor) but normal enough to not make you roll your eyes.

That said - 90s batmen movies were straight out of the cartoons and comics. Everything worked because everything qas ridculous and I love that. Like you said, it all fit well

That’s a fair point about the cobbled armour. But sometimes, when you’re desperate to change too much, you’re pretty far from the source material, sometimes too far? I feel like the ‘look’ was pretty cool, but it just didn’t feel like Batman. But I say that as a 40 year old whose probably jaded from seeing it all done so often.

As much as I love these movies; I feel like we are getting dangerously cloae to Batman Fatigue. It is why I am really enjoying Suicide Squad and Peacemaker - those shows seem to embrace the absurdity of the worlds they are in. Have you tried Peacemaker yet?

It’s on my to-do :) I also really liked the last Suicide Squad! There’s room for fresh ideas, it’s just so many of them, especially in the MCU, are a formula. It’s not a terrible formula, but after 15 years it’s getting stale.
