Ok Brent...

For all of us, I thank you for using this blog as a forum to open our eyes to challenging new ideas.
1. The WRX does not wage a revenge-fueled never ending battle against the forces of evil. The WRX is just designed to moves your ass from point A to point B.
2. The WRX is not a billionaire playboy known for hosting the finest parties and dating Gotham's most beautiful, successful and desirable women. What's the WRX going to date? A Civic?
3. The WRX get written up for jumping across a 100(?) ft gap. Batman jumps bigger gaps for breakfast. With a bullet in his gut and two of the Joker’s henchmen hanging off his legs. And he’s also late for a his date with Vicki Vale.
4. The WRX is a mechanical assembly of inanimate parts. If it crashes, it’s no big deal because it can just get repaired. Batman is flesh and bone. He gets hurt it’s for real. There’s no mechanic to fix him up. Well there’s Alfred but he’s really more of a butler.
5. The WRX will soon fall out of the lime light as it is replaced with a better, newer, fast model able to pointlessly jump even farther. Batman will never be replaced. His cannon just grows.
6. The WRX is defined in terms of horse power, power-to-weight ratio, cost etc. Only the shallowest of Batman’s talents can be numerically evaluated: strength, speed, endurance and so on. But Batman also has a huge arsenal of impossible to quantify aspects that the WRX can never hope to attain: courage, caring, compassion, humility, tack, style, kindness, wit, charisma.
7. Even the Bat-mobile (arguably one the closest physical manifestation of the spirit of Batman after the Bat-suit or perhaps the Bat-cave) is about 1E6 times better than the WRX. Grapling hook, wall climbing (!), machine guns, ejection seat and it’s black.
BATMAN >> WRX Q.E.D

BATMAN >> WRX Q.E.D
Yes. You are, quite right. Your one-line-er relating to a single horrible decision made by a costume designer on a movie that most fans consider non-canonical and haven’t even seen fully, totally outweighs the numerous salient points I brought up.
Touches, Sir.
