    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.
