It also does that trope where it has the revolutionary "villain" fighting to expose the systemic corruption be/act so unhinged and do evil things as to give justification that their critiques are wrong. It's a really well made, entertaining movie, but it's themes are just such weak centrist bs that I couldn't ignore it.

It felt more reactionary aesthetics than "militant leftist" aesthetics tbh.
Riddler is basically the /pol/face meme in this movie but instead of crying over the gays and the minorities, he's crying that bruce wayne got a lollypop while rats were eating babies in his abandoned orphanage.
