Itachi never had plot armor. All his feats were legit and his hype was supported throughout the series. And in the end he died the way he should have. Batman on the other hand has constant plot armor, like his 7 PhD s at the of 26, the fact that the man who killed his parents didn't also kill him and left him as a witness, the fact he he once beat superman by spitting kryptonite gum in his face,( which is basically the equivalent of chewing cancer), like in a serious battle batman would die almost immediately versus superman, that's how big the difference is. Batman beats superman and other OP characters purely through plot.

Well the etheral weapons on top of susanoo make it a problem. Most characters don't have a technique that can break higher stages of susanoo without help. I don't see why the yata mirror needs those feats because it was made clear it plays copy cat on each attack that hits it, the only problem with the yata mirror is itachi's ability to maintain susanoo. But in 1v1 battle he has tons of other advantages that help with the stamina issue. Tsyukyomi is a genjustu that in incapcictates almost everyone bar uchiha in under a second. Then he has a one hit kill sword with high penetrating potential. Then his intelligence makes each of those tools that more potent. When people ask if itachi can beat the current naruto, the answer is simple, naruto has been caught in itachi's genjustu twice canocically and there was nothing he could do. What exactly is stopping him from getting caught in tsyukyomi? If he is caught in that there is nothing he could do, even if he prepped 1000 shadow clones for itachi. If a regular sword can pierce his cloak so can totsuka blade, so he could just line up the naruto s and pierce through all of them. Meanwhile, the yatamiror would block everything naruto throws. Those weapons are that strong.
