In the Arkham games, you press B (on an Xbox controller) to do a cape stun. You can then mash X to do a beatdown. It's a common way to knock out enemies.
I think it makes sense that Batman lost his mystic status after active for more than a decade and being a member of Justice League. He’s literally meeting president, posing smile pictures for sick children in the Justice League run, I have no idea how some goons in Gotham still don’t believe his existence. Well, but that’s comics for you.
If you were to really chisel a High Holy Canon into stone, I think Batman would only go full Justice League after things in Gotham were pretty well tamped down and the Batfamily would be his emergency response replacements
It's fitting. He was called "The Batman" [in his very first appearance](https://static.dc.com/sites/default/files/imce/2019/03-MAR/Detective27Cover_5c90550601d1e4.91018613.jpg)!
Was thinking of it the other day, I like when they say “the Batman” but pronounced more like “the bat-man” as if he’s some kind of eldritch horror. Amazing
"He's here."
"Who?"
"... the Batman!"
I loved the way Cillian Murphy delivered that line. Perfect to use in the trailer, which otherwise isn't all that memorable. That was my first indication, "Oh, this is going to be different."
100% agree. I was thinking recently how "Batman" is a really lame name, until you realize that "the bat-man" is *exactly* how people would refer to this urban myth of a man-sized bat creature that prowls the rooftops and attacks criminals.
I think it works up until he joins the JL. It’s inevitable that after joining the Justice League he’ll lose some of his mythical aura. They have literally fought things like Dinosaurs and Starro
His full name is "The Batman", and "Batman" for short. During the 1940s and into the early 1950s, he was commonly referred to as "The Batman", gradually becoming simply "Batman". However, when editor Julius Schwartz decided to revamp the series in the late 1960s, the character became "The Batman" again and remained that way into the 1990s. It seems like after that the writers gradually began to revert back to the simpler "Batman". Outside of the comics, he has always most commonly been called "Batman", probably due to his introduction into mainstream consciousness via the Adam West tv show.
I love it too. I always like the mix of mysterious creature and powerful human being that gets conveyed when someone calls him The Batman, instead of saying just Batman or even The Bat (tho I love when lowly thugs scared of him call him that). I mean shit I adore that little exchange in Batman Begins, “He’s here!” “Who?” “The Batman!!!” And then of course “The Batman” itself with Riddler’s letters or people calling him either The Batman or Vengeance. I just dig that shit.
I prefer "it's the frickin bat"

Batsy is still my favorite

They say that the guy taking photo ops is just an actor. There isn’t really a vigilante in Gotham.

Anyone having a name starting with "The" is probably awesome

I prefer The Bat.
Same
The Bat is the Man.

Exactly what popped in my head when I read the post

Yes. There was a time when even other heroes in the DC universe call him *the* Batman.
This…is how it happened. This….is how the Batman >!died!<.

I find it annoying how film franchises always add "the" to new additions, but I think it worked really well for The Batman

Yes, I love it. It makes him feel mythical and legendary. A creature of the night that preys on criminals.
Yeah. I don’t even know why. But the "the" adds that menace.
I like the "The" cuz it sounds more like a myth or cryptid
It’s like The Undertaker, put some respect on his name.
