That day has already arrived - July 30, 1966 to be exact.

Oh Lee's is definitely muscular, but more lean muscular than bulky muscular.
Check the biceps, shoulders and chest in the second and third pix. He looks like Sven Ole Thorson under that suit.
Yeah this Batman is very much Jim Lee Batman come to life.
I for one always preferred a Batman who's BIG. Same for Superman.
To me a Jim Lee Batman would be younger and not as bulky.
But Batman has been bulky apart from Miller versions as well.
And tbf, Affleck's Batman is less bulky and younger than Miller's Batman.
And from what we have seen in BvS in the way he moves, this is the most agile and strongest Batman we have ever seen in live action. So I dont see a need to have him be younger or thinner. We had many many movies of Batman in their primes and young. Now its refreshing to have a older experienced Batman.

Exactly. Miller's Batman also a much wider frame and is less defined than Affleck in his costume.
Affleck was obviously modelled after that.
Agreed. While I still have a few problems with the tactical suit, it definitely conforms better to Affleck's physique than the BvS suit did. Gone are the days when we couldn't get a decent promo image with him that wasn't a profile shot.
Yes, it suits him perfectly IMO.
Live-action wise, I don't think I've ever seen anything scream "Batman" more than this.
Ben Affleck is the first time I thought thats Bruce Wayne AND Batman.
I hope he stays on for many films, atones for Affleckgate, and life goes on.
To be fair, some of Lee's earlier depictions of Batman were downright gargantuan. Case in point, the image below is from Hush.
I believe Jim Lee's take on Batman in All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder was also inspired by Miller's DKR. Perhaps Wilkinson drew more from that particular depiction of the character.
Well, technically, Lee's Batman is just more "realistically" built Miller's Batman. You can't make Miller's Batman in live action, unless you cast a cabinet or an overgrown washing machine for the role.
