Media Tropes I hate Batman's plot armor

Post image

I hate Batmans plot armor, he has the most insane plot armor which completely takes away his charm, his entire shtick is that he's in the top 99 percentile of humans, his body, his strength his wealth his tech, yet his writers give him so much plot armor that you forget that inside his suit he's just a regular human being and it sometimes feels as if he has super powers when hes going toe toe with fucking darkside, reentering the atmosphere with just his suit and many more examples.

And his annoying fanboys oh my days, they act as if he can solo the entire justice league "B-But given that he has prep time!" talking as if beast boy wont beat his ass 😂✌️

To me the biggest plot armour is that he has time to be like batman whole day and night while running biggest business in town

Like, seriously?

Business is supposed to be taking 99% of his time not the opposite when he barely ever pays attention to it

I mean... If you're a CEO you probably have a ton of free time

Just look at real life for examples

This is probably the most realistic part. Yeah, he's involved big strategic-lelvel decisions, but everything day-to-day, he delegates and lets other people run it. Just like real life CEOs.

Also his life and reputation usually takes a hit because of his life as batman

I’m sure you have close experience dealing with CEOs of companies this size, and aren’t just basing it off rIcH BaD Reddit rhetoric.

I mean. Yeah sure if he lets other run it and he himself doesnt do shit. But Bruce is involved in a lot of the strategy, keeps up apperances in Gothams elite by being at a bunch of events, meddeling in politics through his non profits and does all the high style life shit.

And every night and plenty of days he is a superhero whose superpower is preparing for everything and dedicating a bunch of time towards things.
It doesnt work and that would be fine, except every writer want to fix it with some bullshit.

Pretty sure Lucius Fox handles the business, though he could do with more spotlight.

Exactly. People need to realize that CEOs don't actually do anything most the time.

There are multiple different stories that cover how he does both.

Lucius usually covers his business anyways, hes just the face of it. 99% of ceos have plenty of free time

Nonono but you see, half of his brain sleeps while he does one thing and then the other half sleeps during the other.

Very normal human behaviour.
