Oooo!!! I never thought of it like that!!! Honestly I could see it. His jawline could cut diamonds it's so defined. That's probably what makes Batman so intimidating, his shoulders are broad and square, his jawline being the only part of him you can see and it's that defined? Terrifying.
Clark I always picture to be such a Dad™ and I can never unsee it. I like seeing Clark as muscular as FUCK. Like he's 80% pure muscle mass it's insane. But he squishes yk? His muscles are just Built Different. They look bigger but they aren't defined, they soften to protect his body.
Jason I always like to picture with a tum. He's such a soft guy with a heart of gold, I can't imagine him having a defined body type because it just doesn't suit him. Is he intimidating?? Hell yea, but not because of how he looks, it's his reputation. I love his big hugs!!! I feel like he takes after Clark in the Big Squishy Muscle thing.
Dick is always gonna be more lean and defined for me. Hes an acrobat, if you see male acrobats they're always super toned and their muscles are hella defined like all the time, but that's because they have a naturally leaner build so when they do gain muscle, it's noticeable. They have to be aerodynamic so their waist and hips are small but their thighs and arms are big enough to carry their weight and catch themselves.
Tim will always have a lean build. He's scrawny and thin, especially growing up and during the early days. Any muscle he has was purely from him working his ass off to grow it. Maintaining that muscle is always gonna be harder for him than any of the other boys. That's why he's such a health nut in canon, he can't afford to slack off health wise. I can imagine he used to compare himself A LOT to his older brothers because he was so much smaller than them which isn't great in the field, you WANT to be bigger (not just muscle but fat too, and both are hard for Tim). Eventually tho, he learned his own fighting style that was suited for his build. (Less impact, more stealth and defense, relying on his intellect to make the fight end swiftly because he knows he won't last in prolonged close combat.)
I consistently see Bruce and Clark being portrayed as fucking ripped, like eight packs, massive muscles all the time, etc etc. And while they both would have a large percentage of muscle mass because of what they do, muscles don't always look "defined" when someone's relaxed or after a long day.
Most often, muscles can be jiggly and soft, even squishy if they aren't flexed. Doesn't mean they aren't strong or not there, they just aren't being used at the moment.
So yes, their thighs are massive, but when lounging around?? Squishy. Squatting?? Hard as a fucking ROCK.
Long story short, I wanna see more of Clark and Bruce being portrayed with a healthy level of body fat.
