As the title says, which characters have the best plot armour? Though this is the Movie section, people can mention television show characters, for the purposes of this specific thread, as well.

Well, Batman is true. But I was thinking more specific examples. Like, Batman in TDKR, where his back heals in a relatively short space of time, without any proper medical attention, and only the most rudimentary "treatment"/"physical therapy", if anyone cares to call it that. Or DCEU Batman with his magical Darkseid prophecy dreams.

He was literally untouchable since his introduction, and never truly failed at anything. He was a master torturer, a great fighter, tactician(even while making dumb moves), etc... The only thing that stopped him was even bigger plot armor for Jon who slaughtered about 85 people and figured out the long lost art of becoming invisible to arrows before an army literally rode over the horizon to save his ass after one of the biggest military f*ck-ups in Westeros history.
Good one. He was basically an evil Mary Sue character. Always ahead of the good guys, and every other week did something really awful, just to remind you that you are supposed to hate him.

Flash literally only survives fodder villains because of the STAR labs team. He got tagged by a dead Zombie Girder, he's the most incompetent fighter of all time

Megatron. Sure he keeps getting defeated. But he's been killed/highly damaged and brought back for every TF movie. And now he's a nearly unstoppable nanomachine robot.
Sam and Dean Winchester. Though I'm pretty sure their plot armor comes with a heavy cost in terms of a high mortality rate for anyone they happen to befriend.
Also in some ways..Spike from Buffy. They basically have plenty of chances to get rid of him and just don't for..reasons. He did have a chip in his head to prevent him from hurting people, but they had no idea how long the chip would even last. For all they knew 50 years from then the chip would malfunction and he'd take up killing again. But they just kind of let him chill around their friends and family.
For that matter Angel kind of had the plot armor as well in a way. Buffy and the others knew exactly where Angel, Spike, and Drusilla lived. Yet they just kind of ignored it and let them continue to kill people.

Not always. Barry's ability to hold his own in a fight varies according to the plot. He got tagged by Girder, but the next episode he apparently solos a 100 metahumans at once, and in the final beat both Zoom and Reverse Flash.

The reasons for keeping Spike around was because he made the teenage girls and gay guys that watched the show wet.

I don't know why some of you are going on about being right and winning. Rob and Impediment were in on this gag because I PMed them. Silent and Rao PMed me and figured I changed the post. I highly doubt anybody thought Quan made the post, but simply played along just for the lulz.
Thinking of that earlier post, Jon Snow has to get a mention as well. Plot armour so thick it brought him back from the dead, and kept him alive through a battle where he should have been riddled with arrows and/or trampled in like the first minute.
Which makes me think of this.
These two have pretty much set the bar when it comes to returning from the dead. And despite what Billie said, after the season 11 finale the brothers have probably earned a few more resurrections.
