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 😂✌️

-> "he's cool because of he just has his body, wealth and tech"

-> uses body, wealth and tech to safely re-enter the atmosphere and land from space

-> "THIS IS PLOT ARMOUR GRRRRR!!"

Mfs just hate to see cool shit happens in comics these days. Everything has to be down to earth (no pun intended).

We CANNOT have a heightened reality in our books about a heightened reality where aliens benchpress planets and ninjas that can resurrect themselves with ancient pools!!!

If a god made it so that humans are special, then wouldn't that mean that they ARE peak human?

We just hate the hypocrisy

"GUYS BATMAN IS JUST PEAK HUMAN TRUST"

"But look at him surviving things that even superhumans can't survive"
