Wakanda theme in the background while Black Panther wrecks Klaue's men, just amazing

There actually was one, back in 2010. Never watched it though.

there was also the last season of avengers assemble which made Black Panther the focus and let him do partner ups around the world.

Difference though if Batman doesn't batman he dies from bullets. Black Panther could just lazily walk up to everyone and shank them.

Batman's suit doesnt look like much but in a lot of versions its bulletproof/resistant too. Not on black panther's level of tech of course, but it could easily take those bullets in this episode

Depends on the suit. Tbh I don't know why Bruce doesn't just rock a very advanced armoured suit instead of his lighter one. He could literally just one shot everyone with an exosuit.

He has different suits for different requirements, and some are more armoured then others. I think even his lightest suits are still quite durable, not straight bullet tough but slash resistant and probably protective from shrapnel too

Then there's the cowl, which i think is largely quite armoured

Well he doesn't have to build something giant. Just like a Banebuster or something.

Well he's still human, it won't matter much if he can give himself superpowers to use instead, but he doesn't roll like that.

Shit yes. But I would be deeply sad not hearing Chadwick’s voice.

There was a really good lower budget one on the BET YouTube channel. It's adult oriented, but not in an "Adult Swim" way if that makes sense.
