    Well here is the problem with the heavy plate theory . One of the first bullet resistant vests I was issued had a plate in the chest to help block shock from a bullet. They found that the plate was not catching the bullet but deflecting the bullet up into the throat and chin. They replaced the plate with more Kevlar . I am okay with the yellow being for style..

    www.sideshow.com/blog/the-evolution-of-the-batman-symbol www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/history-of-the-batman-symbol.html/ Theories abound as to why the yellow background was added to the Batman logo, but according to the editor, the only goal was to clearly distinguish the 1964 version of Batman from the Silver Age era of the hero. Whatever the reason, the yellow would make appearances in both the comics and on-screen all the way up to 1992. The “gunmen will target the symbol rather than the cowl” is in there as well. Think of Cap’s shield with the bullseye and the Punisher’s skull.

    In the Tower of Babel story in which Ra's used Batman's strategies against the JLA, it's absolutely true that none of those strategies resulted in lethal or 'final' defeats..but that was by design. He developed those for if they were body snatched, mind controlled, etc, with the assumption that they'd be fixed eventually. If the question is 'could he have developed lethal answers instead', then it's a question that we don't have a canonical answer to, but I think it's a pretty definitive yes, nonetheless. Just off the top of my head, there was the time Brother Eye killed everyone on earth. As Batman's creation, I'd say that counts as him winning.

"He didn't win out right, oh but he also wasn't trying to win" Batman literally said "I could have upped the dosage. I could have made this lethal, but I chose not to." Even his heart attack at the end of the fight was purposely self-induced as part of his plan. Also, the Tower of Babel run, he actively works to undo the plans that were used against his allies. Kinda cancels that out and it was heavily implied that, if left to their situation, each leaguer would have eventually died.

    I remember exactly when and why the yellow background was added. I read Batman and other DC comics from the late 50's to about 1966. Batman always had the black bat on gray. But then in January 1966 the Batman TV show with Adam West aired and on his costume the black bat was in a yellow elliptical background. Why the producers had made that decision, I do no know. But in Batman's very next appearance in the comic books he was wearing the same yellow ellipse as on TV. The cover of one of the first comics after the TV show first aired shows Robin trying to call Batman away from the TV to answer the Bat Signal, but Batman wants to stay there and watch himself on TV.

    The last one wasn’t a “myth” but more of a meme in the comic community. Also, comic readers would know that Batman isn’t interesting just because he is vulnerable. He isn’t a realistic character. He is a walking talking Wikipedia in comics while lacking supernatural power. He honestly is top tier when it comes to his capability even within the Justice League, just not in the way of “Prep Batman can beat The Precense”.

Seeing as that Batman is without restraints where killing is always an option.
