My observation:

Batfleck is definitely the saddest Batman to date.

Ehh, DC's mostly been on an "everyone miserable always" kick for the past 10 years, so that's not surprising.

I don't hate the costume, but... that has some seriously random seams/piping going on. To the point where it looks kind of silly. What's the purpose of diagonal seams across his legs?? I get a kinda patchwork/patched-up look for a lot of characters, but Batman is one of the few superheroes who has no excuse not to have well made/designed gear.

I've got a soft spot for the '90s Peter David Aquaman, so I'm feeling pretty okay about this.

Mine too. Where's my action figure?

It would be amazing if Batman ever had to defend himself in front of a federal judge. That's literally his only justification for his behavior in the first place. I love comic books, nothing makes any f*cking sense.

Batman should do what he's doing. The world would be a better place if every city in the world had their own Batman who foils crime, and potentially stops terrorist attacks.

I'll do it. I have exactly as much authority to do it as he does.

The Batman Paradox: The circular logic that justifies a vigilante crime-fighter "stopping terrorists" through his own terrorist actions. It's beautiful.

To be clear, the only thing I love more than Batman (besides Superman), is tearing huge holes in the entire logic of Batman. When you break it down, the eeeeentiiiiiiire thing that "elevates" him over the people he beats up isn't even that he's "Good" and they're "Evil", or they're crazy and he's not... it's all entirely because he's rich! That's all that makes him "The Good Guy" of the story. Otherwise he's as goofy and screwed-up as they are.

The difference is Batman does not kill, nor does he cause crime. He is reactionary, he doesn't do things first.

Filthy criminals with the intent to murder and steal deserve to have their faces smashed into the pavement and beaten into a bloody pulp. It should teach them a lesson to never do what they're doing again. If this was the real world those criminals also wouldn't heal so fast and get out of jail time and time again like in the DC universe.

Batman is a protector, a guardian.
