We accept that he doesn't die on his first night out because otherwise you have no mythos. We accept the "cia lol" doesn't shut him down right away because then you're hurting the mythos. This 30 years an urban legend crap is completely unnecesary.
That's all well and good that you make exceptions based on the mythos needing to exist, just don't then go and act like it's about stuff like logic solely. I see now where you base you logical standards from, I suppose we all have our price, 30 pieces it seems
.
Secondly, I never said they'd shut him down right a way. I said central intelligence and their equivalent would shut him down and or only let him operate under their agenda(ala what's happening currently on Arrow).
Yawn. Read above. Getting tired of your dumb examples that don't work in the context of how Batman operates and is seen.
You said lots of people have seen him did you not? I said lots of people have claimed to 'seen' Elvis and Ghosts and all sorts of unbelievable crap, how does that affect my belief as an individual in this world? What about batman's context invalidates the idea that just because lots of people claim an urban legend true that it doesn't all of a sudden become as such? See below
As for you contextual example of how you assume batman operates, for one, you don't know that any of that applies in this continuity. Loud or even quiet tanks(30 years worth), every night, endorsed by police(I don't need an endorsed batman for his entire career)...Secondly, all of that can be easily explained as a hoax(who is in the tank, the signal is an obvious deterrent..etc). The batman is just a myth cooked up by the twisted powers that be in a twisted city, he's not real; is a easy line reading from anyone in a movie about batman and that's the point. You can't play that game with Superman for he doesn't operate in the urban legend realm. That being said, your diatribe is contingent on batman operating a certain way, and sure he doesn't have to, I suppose that sucks for fans like you.
On this issue of "every night"...sorry but that's a joke. Christian Bale could tell you all the ways. But then again, I forget we aren't talking about that one, we are talking about the one from this movie right...You are the man privy to all that info I suppose.
This thing about the Tank, sorry but a 12 year old or some woman see's the ghost busters car with it's four ghost busters in it and it's giant logos plastered all about is being given affirmation that the 'ghost busters' exist. This same scenario with some non descrip vehicle at night and people aren't necessarily being given anything they will then correlate to 'the batman'. Again the car doesn't have wings and bat symbols on the hub caps, it's just a military vehicle in black. Like people seeing a fancy sword on the ground and correlating that to blade, or the big black jet and shouting Xmen. Different with Reed Richards flying car...
Unlike Blade, Bruce Wayne actually has a life, both one he attends to during the days as well as the nights, if anything Blade is way more active in costume than batman(I assume he sleeps in it if he sleeps at all). And yes, I said saving the world every weekend cause unlike batman, it's very much the world. But sure he saves the world here and there but fights the under world all the time, and yet he remains a myth to even his enemies. That you insist batman is more public in his operation, I grieve for the mythos. Not sure who I want to blame for that. Perhaps Adam West.
Batman(like Blade) could be argued the Boogyman, dreamed up to keep 'bad' in line.
Also, this 30 years thing. Sorry if I'm missing something but at just which age was Wayne when he started working in costume; tank in tow and signal in sky? Again, I tend to imagine this film will fall somewhere in line with what Nolan did, and that batman didn't look like teenager in that costume, I suppose we don't know how old Keaton was in his early days
. Secondly just how old is Ben Playing in this movie according to his look and reports? Give or take the years of retirement he's supposedly coming out of? Somewhere in all of that is how you are arriving at this 30 years correct?
Quickly give my your (estimated official batman)numbers if it's not too much trouble, there is a mystery afoot.
let me highlight this next little bit
Sigh...
Again, 30 years of footage, pictures and stories of the same UFO, in the same city, with the same M.O. with an official UFO signal on top of POLICE HEADQUARTERS (not on top of random alien conspiracy dudes' apartment) and yet, everyone in Gotham is like "oh yeah that Batman guy, lol". I mean...
This is common sense, dude.
Also, people believe things that they only know through the media all the time. If the TV says there is a Batman, they don't have to meet the guy to start believin' 
....right here in the bolded. Please tell me where I said that people, some or any wouldn't believe? Again you misunderstand the term Urban Legend. That is, lots of people believe in these things(happy?). Often times helped by the media. There is a difference in that level of existence and the level of belief in Superman's at the end of MOS. This difference of worldly belief and conscious understanding is what is being contrasted and explained here. Example:
JLU War, The flash comes face to face with batman and the first this he utters, something along the lines of "Batman is real?" Insinuating he's heard stories and reports and heard about the signal but..."..I can't believe the Batman is real". Not too different from the typical response someone would have if they met Santa Claus after hearing about his stories and myth for years. The batman comes face to face with the Flash knowing him to be real and guess what his response is...There's a difference. At the end of that movie when all heroes are in their presidential photo op confirming their existence..that's the sort of thing that ends an urban legend. Again, I'm not talking about 30 years or the tank in this comparison, only explaining how people can know and hear about an urban legend but never actually know if it's real or not for that's literally what an urban legend is. It's plausible.
This is the actual 'common sense dude' if you will.
Batman shows up in BvS and superman says, "you're real?"
And I suppose that's the end of it.
But you sure will defend it
Comes with the territory when having an open mind. I feel the same way when I hear someone bash a cake neither of us has yet tried. Especially when they start talking about how chocolate and vanilla don't mix or some crap. I see the burden on the opposition tbh.
Just messin' with you.
I wonder if this will be canon with the Sandman movie.
