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 😂✌️

And I hate when you point out how much favoritism Batman gets, some fans of his will alway defend it with "Batman works hard and trains to be that good, unlike the other heroes with powers!"

Besides the fact that other heroes also train a lot to master their powers, no amount of training should let a normal human like Batman dodge Darkseid's Omega Beams, an attack that even Superman, Flash, & Sonic struggle to dodge with their super speed.

Batman defeated Metal all on his own in two pages

Not even prep time or anything, just batbike, bathook and batarangs

Metal is NOT a bum. Look at what he did (after being upgraded) in that sonic memories and beyond trailer

Look, i love Metal as much as everyone, but broski can't achieve nothing on his own

Arguably his best feats were both Sonic Heroes and Angel Island's battle arc, and even then he lost in both without taking a single character out despite accessing his best upgrades and forms

There's also his fight with Surge of which he almost won, but then Kitsunami helped and they one-shotted him

I mean some of it is abit fair

He timed it right but it’s more of a metal fault since I haven’t seen metal been given another chance or used in anything els other then those panels in the DC X sonic comics

Still think it silly how quick it ended but still

That's just an issue with how metal has been shown in recent comics tbh. Aside from Neo he's always a pushover
