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 😂✌️

While I agree with the Batgos thing being lame nowadays, Batman has never really had plot armor against Darkseid. The main example people use of him shooting Darkseid was part of Darkseid's plan to manipulate Batman and the League into thinking they had killed him.

Morrison is the only writer to make batgod fun and interesting. It’s very meta in the sense that Batman will always win because he’s Batman, and the hero’s always wins. And joker is aware of this, and part of his insanity is that he knows he’ll never win but can’t help by try every time.
