Yeah, you speak the truth. I don't see anyplace it would have fit well, but yeah, that's the only thing "missing". Selfishly, I would have loved to see more "Just Superman" stuff as well, but it's not either of their movie so some things have to be sacrificed for the Bigger Picture.

I do like that we get to see Batman do a lot otherwise, though. Like with the Nightcrawler and the Flying Fox and even using the blaster rifles and whatnot. Always improvising, using anything at hand to stay in the fight and get an advantage, no matter the situation.

Like, This Specific Batman really feels like it works perfectly in either context, either "Dark Knight" Batman where he's street-level, or "Super-Hero" Batman where he's in these fantastical situations. Batman in BvS felt like he was ripped right out of the Batman solo comics... but in THIS movie, he feels like he was ripped right out of the Justice League comics. And that's how it SHOULD feel; when he's in the JL books he encounters enemies and situations that are nothing like those he encounters in his own solo material, and he kind of has to scramble because he's in a little over his head, but he's never out of his depth because he Always Has A Plan but also is a master of improvisation. And this movie really nails that.

I don't think every version of Batman has had that versatility, to go between either so seamlessly. I think Keaton's could fit either way, but not Bale's. And I actually like Bale's Batman more than Keaton's, he was absolutely perfect for what those movies were trying to be, but his Batman felt so "real" that I kinda can't see him fighting aliens and stuff and having it not feel a bit "off". And especially after seeing how easily he jobbed to Bane, who's just One Big Guy, I can't even see that Batman having anything resembling the big Warehouse Scene. Frankly, I think if it were a fight Affleck's Batman would break Bale's Batman in half.

The three each did a great version of a "different" Batman; Keaton was "methodical", Bale was like, "scrappy", and Affleck is just plain a monster. They each did it Perfectly for what their movies were, but I can really only see Affleck's both as a solo act AND part of this super-team of alien-battling demigods.
