Despite his humor, the DCEU Dark Knight is still more daunting than the other Batmen. Weighing in at 228 lbs and standing 6”4 (6”6 in the suit), his physical size is a huge aspect of his role, and the comic book-style suit accentuates this presence.

Zack Snyder, who directed most of Justice League, has a distinct visual style of film-making that compliments the suits scenes, such as the interrogation of Lex Luthor at the end of BvS. We have already seen his Arkham Knight-esque fighting style in the legendary warehouse scene, and there is a similar scene in Justice League where the Caped Crusader takes on Parademons solo, demonstrating not only his physical brutality but also the fear he strikes in his enemies.

Seeing Batman from the perspective of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad illustrated how he can terrorize his enemies, and the respect he shows Deadshot in front of his daughter shows how the character has developed since you-know-what happened in BvS.
