Batman is one of the smartest characters in DC comics, but only Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne has truly displayed a genius-level intellect in live-action.

Article is awful but I think this conclusion is pretty much obvious to anyone who's willing to look at the portrayals objectively. It also makes sense, because in BvS, he has to be able to be much more effective compared to his other portrayals due to the sort of threats he's facing...even if we ignore the fact that Batfleck is meant to be an older, wiser bats.

Kinda like how Batman is the same, canonically, between TAS and Justice League...but he is so much richer, athletic, technologically impressive in the latter. Because he has to be cause he occupies the same space as ppl like Superman.
