Real talk, Bruce squinting at the origins of his family's wealth until he can pretend they lend badass symbolic gravitas to his quest one of the best parts of the movie

Even though the continuity is weird in Suicide Squad, Batman's couple of apperances in it are perfectly in line with the character in BVS. It's probably my favorite depiction of Batman overall.

Yeah, Alfred outright states they became rich from oil and property development, but Bruce is all like "lol no, they were totally badass hunters".

Whatever you say man
he even said they were fur hunters so it's not like they're fighting wolves or something.

And it's not like they were hunting wolves that were killing livestock or something. No, they're trapping and killing things like beaver, otters, baby seals, etc.

A form-fitting, soft, flexible, bullet-proof armor skin? That doesn't seem hosed up so much as... pragmatic.

How would Superman's skin hold up under a yellow sun, anyway.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Bruce trying to reinvent himself as the bearer of a legacy of hunters also matches with him trying to justify to himself what he's doing; he's a hunter, a killer, of non-human things, like this alien god. Deliberately ignoring that he fears the Superman because he fears the Superman will be all too human, like the flawed, mad, corrupt and cruel humans of Gotham. He can't trust humans anymore, and so he can't trust the Superman.

Of course, it all turns around when the Superman begs him to save his mother; and suddenly, he's no longer Bruce Wayne the hunter and killer, he's Batman, the protector of the night made to save the parents of little boys, and a living god has trusted the Batman to save his mother. Batman realises he's been taking himself too seriously, and the wacky, weird people in tights and armour are his brothers and sisters.

he looks like a Frank Miller Batman action figure brought to life, which is very cool

the lighting on the others is really weird though. I think it's something to do with how it makes all of their skin look, because the best looking ones are Flash and Batman, and they're completely covered up, and the Cyborg one has the human part look very photoshopped, and the Wonder Woman and Aquaman ones look like outtakes that accidentally made it onto posters.
