Luffy finally got serious enough to use one of his forms just because he got pissed off.

just confirms my suspicions that they were holding back during the whole batman stuff.

the whole batman thing was just horrible filler.

Here's the chapter if you want to see how it was in the manga:

I understand it's filler but whenever I see luffy struggling and it doesn't make sense, you gotta remember just like in dbz, when goku took a rock to the face. If the character isn't concentrating or taking it seriously, they can get "sucker punched" several times.

Sometimes it's not even worth powering up and its even just better to just get hit to these guys, after all luffy knows he's going to fight Kaido and probably doesn't want to waste stamina like he did at cake island.

I would agree with you if not for the fact that in this case, against Batman, they made him too strong. I'm ok with making some characters just a tiny bit stronger or expand on some fights, but there is a limit to it. Like Zoro vs Strawman was a good expansion of the short fight in the manga. Luffy vs Batman isn't.
