Film Theory: The Batman’s FATAL Flaw!

[@MarioSMG64]

[@emcat52]

Maybe he has a meta gene that activated when his parents were killed but he didn't notice bc it is an invisible power. That may also explain how he was able to master so many languages, martial arts and meditation techniques. (Please note that I haven't actually watched The Batman or most live action movies. I prefer the cartoons and animated movies)

[@BurnWorldProductions]

Lets not forget about spalling. When a bullet hits a hard enough surface, it has a good chance to shatter and send fragments out in a deadly ring. Imagine your armor stopping the bullets, only to have hundreds of jagged metal pieces fly into your neck and exposed chin anyways. Some body armor comes with spall coating to prevent this, but it does still happen.

Batman leaving his lower face exposed does actually have a good reason. He's constantly pulling off stunts and running and leaping from roof top to roof top so obviously that will get extremely exhausting, so he has to leave SOME space open to sweat, plus it lets him breath clearer.

The parachute hit the bridge first acting as a seat belt, then it looks like most of the blow was actually to his chest where he would have a bullet proof vest on. Still painful, not deadly probably.

[@codyeasonBGR]

It caught on the bridge and swang him in to the bride. He was still going to fast.

There’s one issue I’ve noticed, ceramic plates are really good at stopping bullets but tend to not hold up to multiple shots in a row due to them braking

[@hrickthegeek]

That's why ceramic composites are used. The composite makes up for the light atoms in a pure ceramic plate.

[@CrimsonSoldat1311]

I want to add something I found whilst researching. There is a type of ‘armor’ plate that was made for aviation pilots that could withstand at least one 50 bmg round straight on, the plate was extremely heavy and thick, so it would definitely be impractical for Batman’s stunts, but some style of plate similar to it would be somewhat viable.

Matpat should do a theory about murder drones. It’s a really good series and I think he would do a good theory on it.

[@petermillar210]

I feel like it would be easy to solve the open mask problem. Just have a face shield that deploys from the cowl for certain situations to cover the mouth, and when it's not needed bruce can just leave his mouth exposed to breathe easier. It's a superhero movie I feel like that would be enough to suspend disbelief.

[@derekeastman7771]

Matpat digging into the guntuber archives is certainly an experience.

[@KurtiseyLikesPizza]

Your Batman voice is on point lol😂

[@calogerosee7585]

13:12 he threw his arm over the uncovered portion of his face

[@random2322w]

i still remember being in the theater and hearing the batmobile roar and my seat vibrate. Gave me chills

[@Artian38]

FINALLY, they have completed the circle. ❤️

[@krisgomez3997]

I'd love to know how expensive that batsuit would actually be!

[@pillownoona]

5 minute intro, 5 minutes of talking about why kevlar wouldnt work before stating that he obviously is wearing something else, and then another couple of minutes talking about stronger bulletproof armor before finally admitting that this video was about him taking an explosion from point blank. I wouldn't be hard pressed to find a video that could give me more value than this.

[@Luca_1108]

There ain't no way food theory came out in 2020. I feel old

[@ronaldgonzalez9161]

Grew up watching you and now that I’m somehow an adult I can tell you @9:30 yes that does mean something to me bc I am military now and I loved how well done this video is

[@wafflemom4171]

style theory is wild “by the end of the month” dude you got 1.11 mil in 3 days

[@AdrianChazz]

11:05 Honestly, if you don't "Weeeeeelll" with MatPat at this point... What are you even doing?

[@Moondog2A]

Great points MattPat. Subbed. BTW, that bolt action rifle ("Winchester") you showed in 07:22 is more than likely firing a more powerful .308 round not a 5.56 (though you can get a 5.56 bolt-action rifle, it's uncommon).

[@austinmccormick8952]

I love how he's like. Bat man's suit could save his life, but he forgot that things go boom
