He lacks the muscles of previous versions, and The Batman puts much more of an emphasis on his detective abilities than other Batman movies, making its take on the character feel distinctly unique. The design was a grounded take that still managed to maintain a level of accuracy to the comics, but it did have one hilarious flaw.
