    This is precisely why I hate all the recent Batman movies

    He's just this raging crybaby beating people to hell and back because he's sad

    At least the Batman: The Animated Series showed him doing actual charity work and helping people, while also whaling on the Joker and other costumed ne'er-do-wells

      I feel like The Batman was trying to do something with this

      Batman is constantly getting confused as to why someone would call him a "rich privileged asshole" or why bad guys would look up to him, and there's an AOC-esque politician who tells him he should donate to charity like his dad did

      The rich, emo vigilante barely stops any crime but his failures make his vigilantism even more necessary as the city falls into chaos

      Idk how much of it is intentional, but I really enjoyed seeing a batman who sucks at his job and fails to preserve the status quo

        I remember watching it and thinking that Bats sure had some Rittenhouse energy in some of the early scenes.

      That was a feature of the most recent Batman movie as well. The Wayne family donated lots of money but that does not solve capitalism so it never actually fixes anything.
