Last night, I actually switched my Batman's pose to the old standby fists-at-the-sides pose. I like to give the wrists a bend too.

Thats my bats. I bought demon gauntlets from ebay, sanded them down, then painted them with black gloss.
To be fair, I may have had his wrists bent in a tad too much on those last shots. Here he is with what I think looks like a very comfortable 'badass' wrist pose:
And here he is in the identical pose with straight wrists:
It's sublte, but I really think the bend in the wrist adds a lot.
You're right the slight bend is better looking. And your other post argues the case quite well.
I always bend the wrists. And like you Maglor it always drives me crazy when I see them sticking straight out. It doesn't even look right.
Oh and a-dev has the best sig, or rather disclaimer, on the board.

I love that thing. It's sooo true

To me when people pose there figures with the arms sticking out straight (including the wrists) all I see is this:
All I see is a nose that'd make Liam Neeson feel normal
My most recent pose:
It might not look like I bent the wrists, but I did give them a slight bend. I don't like how my photos of this figure turn out. It looks unimpressive to me on the screen, but when I look at it in this exact pose on the shelf beside me, it's badass.

What really drives me nutty is when I see the arms all stuck out like sticks on some people's figures:
Mine doesn't have enough bend for you? Any more than that is too much as far as I'm concerned. Here's a close up of the fists:
That's how I like to see the hands.

Not the wrists, the arms.
Who holds their arms out like that? :/
You pose is way more extreme than my example even.

I started this one!
A man in a rubber bat suit, that's who. The arms aren't straight out anyway. There's a bend at both elbows when viewed from the side. It's not different than on those Superman and Batman statues you posted, the only difference is the rubber suit arms are not turning with the body underneath.
Edit: Wait, I think I see what you're saying. The lower arms need to turn more inward to appear more natural?

Maglor, you're being unfair. Some do pose their arms that way.
Like this?
Sure the arms can be out but they don't look like "sticks".
I posed my Superman in a similar way:
But they are not all stiff in a straight line. There is a bend in both the wrists and the elbows.
Yeah. Thats all he did. He didn't personally insult anyone.
