they would hate bruce wayne as like a soros-type figure and love batman as a good honest citizen who beats the shit out of (SLUR REMOVED)
Yes. Meanwhile libs would love Wayne as a good woke billionaire and publicly handwring about Batman's breaches of civility while quietly enjoying the way he Cleans Up The City. r/gotham would be full of phone vids of him "nonlethally" pulverizing guys' spines while all the comments cheer.
Communists would hate both (the correct position)
there was that one time though, when he did a real cool thing. too bad this isn't what he does 99% of the time
I want more of this
Supes did it first
Mans literally walking into a mine with an actual top hat and cane, doing some casual sexual harassment as one does. Supes not having any of it apparently
Supes orchestrated the whole situation specifically to teach the mine owner a lesson after rescuing miners from a cave in. You can read it
"Congratulations on your new policy. May it be a permanent one! (If it isn't you can expect another visit from Superman!)"
I respect the intervention on behalf of the miners superman
but you're too kind sometimes
does he have a mustache here or is that just shadows lmao
Definitely the shadows but I fw Batman w/ a Stalin stache givin rich fucks the
I dont think communists hating both would be the correct position inherently actually. Maybe Bruce, depending on portrayal. But Bruce in some portrayals does WAY more like actually good things with his money than any real world billionaire has ever done. So I think some nuance needs to be applied there.
Much, much more nuance needs to be applied to Batman though. And I'm exhausted of the surface level understandings of the character many leftists apply here. I'm not going to write it all again, but I talk about some of the things that are inarguably good things that Batman does in this post, in addition to the Court of Owls situatation Smeagol pointed out. . Its also worth noting that there is a huge variety of portrayal to Batman and some Batman portrayals are borderline fascist, while others do more to alleviate the aspects leftists dont like.
It's really a shame that so many portrayals of Batman seem to really really love the Dark Knight Returns, which is absolutely fascist. I actually quite like a lot of Batman stories, but I do wish the writers would just stay the fuck away from any Frank Miller influence. Honestly never trust a Miller/ar who makes comics
Yeah the influence of Dark Knight Returns on Batman stories really sucks.
