That doesn't discount him being what people are saying....a control freak.
It's invisible.
Like her acting.
Batman is so traumatized by mom and dad heating dirt that he exerts himself to achieve super human strength, spies on all his JL comrades, builds robot to fight them just in case, taps into every cell phone ( movie), creates a global corporation if batmen...and so on.
Hell, dude even has bat repellent just in case he needs to put some bitch ass shark in its place.
Outside of Batman inc. (which he put together because he needed an army to fight Talia and he was right again) he hasn't done any of those things you excuse him of in the new canon.
Even with the tiara, lasso, and eagle breastplate?
Tearing down Sif to elevate Diana? Humorous.
To exert control over what he can. That's right. His extreme discipline to enhance his skills is to control as much as possible to minimize the loss he went through. It takes control.
Batman has been interpreted as an authoritarian in some comics (Kingdom Come might be the most extreme example), but overall I think he's been written as one who desires order above all else, but doesn't think that the state is capable of delivering it. So without placing an emphasis on the state and ideals like corporatism he isn't a fascist, and I'm not sure if having elaborate contingency plans really qualifies him as a control freak.
But that's comics for you. Characters can transform and be presented in different ways month to month.
The Lasso:
No colours aloud.
No colours aloud.
but there is a big difference between him and and a true control freak like Lex. Batman will listen to reason and think about the suggestions. A true control freak can't be reasoned with.
Shit DC just showed him doing that in the last two issues of Zero Year when he took Fox's advice.
Exactly.
Lex is a true control freak.
Not a control freak he just likes to analyze every possible outcome. The only time he says to not do something is when people want to rush into things. Like when he told his son to not follow. His son didn't listen and what happened to him? DEAD. JL didn't listen to him and the world was taken over by Ultraman and his buddies.
That's Lex.
That's Lex.
Looks damn good. She doesn't look even close to as bad as the "eat a sandwich" crowd would've had you think
And Gina Carano would've been perfect for Wonder Woman if she has no lines. She was dubbed in Haywire for a reason.
Terrible costume, no hints of gold, red and blue color scheme. Also why her chest all covered up? Total downgrade Wonder Woman.
Bruce is pretty much Lex
Taking the law into his own hands isn't authoritarian?
He could just use money to build the police force, run for mayor, etc.
It'll probably start to glow when it's usedNo colours aloud.
The greatest control freaks on Earth, Luthor, Supes and Batman measure their dicks by leveling Gotham (Metropolis is already leveled). Wonder Woman has to come from her island to punch some common sense into their heads.
He's nothing like Lex and you know it.
Looks way too skinny to be an Amazonian warrior. Like any villain out there could knock her on her skinny ass with minimum effort.
Not feeling this actress at all.
you're right he's got more hair and he's not obsessed with just one person.
I'm really not seeing how this is being debated. Outside of the bad guy/good guy differences between Lex and Bruce they are relatively the same character outside of minor tweaks.
If I went outside and randomly started asking people to name a popular character in DC who could be described as a "Billionaire who has control issues" Of those that could answer I'd get a 50/50 toss up between them.
Gail is saying that the artists she knows are loving it too so hopefully it will make its way into comics asap (lol like it wasn't going to)
Doubt it honestly. Changing comic aesthetics to fit the movies is Marvel's shtickGail is saying that the artists she knows are loving it too so hopefully it will make its way into comics asap (lol like it wasn't going to)
seriouslyDC has given Wonder Woman more hoplite-esque armor dozens of times. No idea why they've never gone all the way and just made it her permanent costume.
Here's an image with more saturation. I didn't manipulate the colors.Kind of looks pretty generic to me. Maybe it's just because of the 100% brown coloring. Hope they can give it a little bit of color

Eh...funny thing about the heels is that I'm sure they are going to suddenly disappear when the action starts. I remember in the old batman movie when catwoman started doing cartwheels and crap they disappear, then when she starts walking they are there again. Was it the same for catwoman in the dark knight movie? I didn't see it.
The shadow is doing her no favors. I hate to be that guy, but my issue is her face. She looks too masculine.
There's some sad irony in the fact that Gadot is a model and many of the posts in this thread are nit-picking her body to shreds.
