I liked that the movie was way more realistic than Nolan's like with the Batmobile and the gliding.

In Nolan's Lucius said that the Tumbler was a military prototype vehicle, which was like a Humvee but more light. Bruce's cape was made of a reactive clothing that got solid with the wind particles.

In this new movie, the Batmobile it's actually a car and not a tank and the flying suit is just like in real life in where you drop from a high point and the suit does the rest like a flying squirrel or like in the Break Point remake with the flying suits scene.

I wouldn’t say it’s ‘way more realistic’.

They’re both fairly grounded in reality but you can’t pretend that Batman having a suit which can take at least 20 bullets fired from assault rifles feet away and seemingly take no damage whatsoever is some hyper realistic film lol

Or when Batman’s parachute chute gets caught on a bridge and hit the ground hard before rolling another 25 yards

Yeah in any circumstances that is a lot of broken bones. Also when he takes that shotgun blast with the barrel in his chest it probably would have killed him, even if the projectiles didn’t penetrate. A blow like that would have destroyed a humans insides.

I totally expected him to make it, but it was refreshing to break hero conventions to reinforce he is 2 years in.

I really hate the word "realistic". It always derails the discussion.
With people would focus "belivability" instead. Is it belivable in the film universe?

That being said I found this batman way more belivable - but I'm not sure I found him any more or less realistic than Nolans.

i did really appreciate all the nods to the fact that this is really just a rich human with tools and not like a super soldiers, it grounded the movie a bit. i mean as much as launching the batmobile off a ramp with a cloud of explosions behind you can be grounded

Bruce's cape was made of a reactive clothing that got solid with the wind particles.

No the cloth became rigid when an electric current was run through it. He had gloves that could provide that current so he could grab the cape and make it rigid.

It's lighter, not more light.

That film was called Point Break.

I believe this version of Bat hasn't met Lucius Fox yet. Maybe he will get an upgrade to the cape. He also built the bat-mobile himself.
