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 like they were going for a "left wing revolutionary" vibe with the riddler, but if they had only had him focus on going after corruption he would have been unambiguously in the right (other than maybe the fact that his murders were pretty gruesome). I feel like they HAD to make him go over the top evil at the end because otherwise the Riddler would have pretty much been a hero.
