Not disagreeing with any of your sentiments, but I can’t help myself, a minor correction, she started with Spielberg not Lucas.

He's at home! Washing his ''tactical'' tights!I wonder what Batman has been up to for 6 episodes?

You're not wrong. With this iteration of the Batman universe, the one thing that seems to be hitting perfectly is Gotham. Atmospherically and physically, the depiction of this place; Arkham, Blackgate, the streets ... it seems to seep into the characters. Like they've manifested as a true reflection of the environment.Who cares. He's so overplayed.
So The Punisher with a bat on his chest instead of a skull lolI hope Batman can keep his distance.
They've managed to make a realistic Joker (Heath), a realistic Riddler (Dano) and a realistic Penguin (Colin)... but Batman still seems unrealistic to me.
They should strip Batman of his "Bat" disguise as much as they stripped Penguin of his moniker, and see what happens... I mean, having Joker in just simple make-up worked well for Ledger too. First thing would be to lose the clumsy cape.

He was arguably the standout performance in that film. Memorable enough in Minority Report too. Back when he was very much the new and in demand guy.It’s hard to believe this is the same guy that played Bullseye over 20 years ago
A bold move but worth a try, if he has some kind of wingsuit for gliding or jumping. I have two issues though: I think Batman works best in a magical realism setting (much as I love realistic Penguin) ... and Batman without a cape just looks like Daredevil to me. Still, I'd watch such a take on him.I'm sure people scoffed at having a Joker in white-face instead of being "transformed' by chemicals into the famous trickster.
Now... Ledger set the bar.
Batman, in tactical 'ninja' gear -- not unlike what Nolan was going for -- but just lose the cape, make him more like Batman Beyond... yeah, like anything, if done right with the right actor, you could get people to come around. I think you'd be surprised how fast people would drop the cape.
I'd be willing to have some material that is released and hardens when he jumps off a building so he can glide to another rooftop. That would give him that "bat in the sky" moment. And that's all you need. Walking into a crime scene surround by cops while wearing a dramatic cape is just lame.
I felt the the showdown between Penguin and Maroni was very satisfying. Though it's hard to root for the penguin exactly, particularly now.
