Ok so I’ve read all the back and forth and found the answer today in a Spanish supermarket while on holiday.

Despite The Flash marketing, Spanish kids at least prefer ZSJL icecream cake for their birthdays !!

This clearly shows ZSJL is the best superhero movie ever made !

Well actually, Superman is in his blue & red suit so that's the OG Justice League not ZSJL. :lol
 
This movie was the only time I've actually liked Affleck as Batman, so I really wish this suit wasn't ridiculous. I wonder how the JL Tactical suit would look paired with the bike.

Is there a chance that HT will improve this, like spidey 2099? Lol
There is some time HT take liberties and portray the character different than how she/he looks with their own idealised version. This is the one they can improve.
Although, the armor plate and pattern is weird, like design of clear plastic on their comic style ironman.

The chance is slim. You never really know what HT will choose to improve on, so it’s best to not even hope for it.

If they wanted to, they could at the very least improve the overall proportions to at least be more accurate since they allegedly can’t use Affleck’s likeness for any of his Flash merch. That way, it could at least look nice as an generic Batman figure by getting everything else right regardless of the likeness
 
That does look the best I've seen it as well.

The cowl transition to cape is so bad on the Hot Toys figure. To me that is what always pops out to my eye.

Well that, and the face not being Affleck.....

Easily the worst Batman has ever looked on screen as far as cinematic costumes go.

Rag on the Clooney Ice Suit all you want, but he didn’t look as bad as Affleck in the Flash.

With good lighting and camera work the suit in the Flash could look good. Clooneys couldn't.
 
Well yeah, cinematography is everything. In regular lighting, even the best Batsuits wouldn’t look all that great.

That Flash suit is on a whole other level of bad though. The Affleck Batman went from having the best looking costume on screen to the worst. It’s just so lazy on the filmmakers part to not make a real cape. He’s not even in it that much, no excuse to not make him look the best he could be.
 
I fear Superman Legacy and all other Gunn verse projects will be dead on arrival just like the Flash. No matter how good or bad the movies, the Snyder loyalists will boycott everything. They make up far more than the noisy minority some dismiss them as.

Nothing short of Snyder being put in charge of everything will ever appease them. Even Cavill wasn't immune to suspicion and hostility when it was suggested anyone other than Zack direct MoS 2.

It used to be Marvel vs DC. These days DC is fighting and killing itself.
No they are a minority. One that won’t sway box office numbers . I don’t consider half of them fans tbh cause they don’t seem to like dc they like Snyder made dc . If you brought Snyder back tomorrow the movies would still tank. It’s the fact that the dceu was an inconsistent mess and was absolutely trash starting with bvs. They just use bots to justify their numbers but they don’t sway the box office. They are just an annoying bunch on Twitter that like to harass anyone that isn’t Snyder fanboy. Weird energy over a very bland director. Batfleck however was a good idea. Still a very comic accurate suit that didn’t look ridiculous like tdk Nolan suit. I think probably the third best Batman suit on film

I am a massive Zack Snyder fan. I think his DC stuff is the most unique, deep and interesting content that has spawned from comic books being adapted into movies and I love it to absolute bits. I also love other DC content, so I'm not 'only a Snyder fan', I just loved the story he was telling.

Even I disagree with this opinion about the DCU being DOA.

Sure, I think there are a larger amount of people that loved his stuff than people think or try to make people believe, but as soon as a reboot happens (the key is, it needs to be a FULL reboot), then most of the audience will move on. Maybe I won't, maybe I'm cool with the DC movies that I like and don't need any more unless they're Justice League 2 and 3 directed by Snyder. But that's just me. I'm not the person you have to get on board, you have to get the everyman to want to see these movies.

Any impact of Snyder is more overt when you look at a Flash movie going back in time to the first Snyder film! I never understood that decision- the people who love Man of Steel (the nostalgia you're preying on) don't want to watch a Flash movie that specifically exists to erase the version they loved from existence in the timeline. Bringing it back to this Batfleck suit- it's dreadful, and it makes you think about the BvS suit instead, and how cool that was. Snyder's absence is all over this movie due to its setting.

It won't be over the DCU stuff.

When Gunn's actual stuff starts, even if there's 'pushback' from massive Snyder fans like me, I think DC will be fine. The Flash bombing does not mean DC is dead, The Batman just made 770 million, Joker a billion. Those weren't Snyder movies and they did MORE than fine with the general populous. They weren't even Nolan movies.

In my opinion, their first priority has to be lowering budgets at the start of this universe. Makes their break-even points more manageable, and then you can work your way up to the huge blockbusters when you have garnered the support that makes that seem reasonable.

I don't know why but Affleck's costume reminds me of a shark more than a bat.
