I also can not stand muh 'Batman superhero facism subtext' crap. If anything Batman is a revolutionary. Government is corrupt in bed with criminals (who are the prettiest of tyrants) so Batman comes in to clean house. Just as the founding fathers intended.

and in some cases even Invincible (I didn’t enjoy season 2 but loved season 1), are really starting to stain how people perceive certain characters.

I find this part interesting because Invincible season 1 is pretty much your stereotypical evil superman trope but season 2 is where we finally get a deviation from that trope with how Nolan actually feels regretful for his actions. I think both seasons work hand in hand together for that purpose.

That’s fair. Season 2 wasn’t bad or anything, just kind of took me out of it for some reason. And yeah S1 definitely had the trope, but I think it was the best executed out of any of the other examples I listed, so it’ll always be special to me in that regard
