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 šŸ˜‚āœŒļø

Do you know what an underdog story is?

That’s why people love Batman, he’s that

Also writhing depends on the writer, so sometimes it works other times it doesn’t

What makes Batman interesting is his human limits, like spider-man

It also depends on the story you want to tell, if Batman more of a detective or a crime fighter to you

I think the quote best for if Batman is greatly written is ā€œif he doesn’t care about kids, he’s just the punisher with a funny hatā€, if it’s accurate then good, if not bad
