He rarely gets shot or stabbed and always seems to evade gunfire. He could've easily had a cloth suit with a leather cowl, if needed protection he would have armour around his chest and shoulders like a real life Kevlar vest.
shareWatch the dark knight, yes he needs an armored suit
shareDownside is it slows him down.
shareUpside though it kept him from dying.
shareUsually have armour around your chest and shoulders just so he can run faster.
shareHe was shot in the stomach.
shareBut not in the legs, He only needs armour around his torso.
shareRight by your plan he would have died in The Dark Knight.
shareTDK suit was over designed in places, those little armour could easily pop off.
Kevlar vest would protect his stomach.
Full body armour would carry too much weight, would need to move a lot faster.
"Usually have armour around your chest and shoulders just so he can run faster."
That would leave his stomach exposed which is right where Two-Face shot him.
Kevlar vests cover you stomach.
shareBut you didn't mention covering his stomach.
shareChest is not just the pectorals. Kevlar vests cover you entire torso.
shareSo then you do concede that he should have covered his stomach?
shareTDK armour had too many gaps between plates, when bending side to side the gap between plates go wider, as Lucius Fox mentioned he'll be more vulnerable to gunfire and knifes.
shareRight but some of the plates were across his stomach so then you concede that he should have some kind of protection over his stomach that could potentially block a bullet?
shareIf your looking for armour you have better options than TDK. Arkham Knight would be ideal https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DOwdzlwXUAAO93I.jpg
TDK suit did leave too many gaps between plates.
The Body suit was a mesh weave that could catch a bullet but bruise you in the process.
Arkham Knight and The Batman suits only have armour around his chest and shoulders.
It didn't stop his back from getting broke or getting beat up in TDKR. It was unrealistic that he survived those falls in the dark knight anyway, even if a suit can stop a bullet it does not stop injuries one would get from a fall.
shareHe took far many falls in Batman Begins than The Dark Knight. The only fall he really took in The Dark Knight was when he dove out a window to save Rachel.
shareThat was pretty unbelievable, but also when he tackles Dent.
shareTrue, but with movies about an ultimate badass hero you have to suspend your disbelief a little bit. Kind of like there are so many moments where Rambo should have died also.
shareBut Rambo didn't wear a big rubber suit and call it realism.
shareThe Nolan movies were never supposed to be 100% realistic, they were supposed to take in the real world, that is a universe that is pretty similar to ours. The Burton/Schumacher films very much did not take place in our universe.
