Not to put too fine a point on it, but Batman is explicitly fascist.
Nolan modernizing a vigilante that beats up Polish migrants, two-faced liberal politicians, and feminist eco-terrorists isn’t doing anything that prior writers hadn’t already been doing for decades.
I want a movie that is just Ivy and Bruce standing in front of the last dead seqoia or something while Ivy gives Bruce a 2 hour long “the reason you suck” speech about how if he hadn’t spent 50 years defending Exxon execs from her attempts to save the world there would still be ducks.
I mean, they might be getting to that. The past 10 or so years, they’ve basically been making Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn into antiheroes.
That’s basically the Harley cartoon series. Batman is portrayed as even more unhinged than the Joker.
