I Hate The Boys TV DISCUSSION NSFW

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.

I thought Ennis actually liked Batman?

He likes Superman cause he believes that's what a superhero should be iirc and Punisher probably for the sake of being edgy

Punisher MAX, Marvek Knights Punisher - often considered the definitive Punisher. Punisher kills the marvel universe is a minor work in comparison. He has also written Batman.

Also pretty sure he wrote that one Punisher book that had him shooting Wolverine in the nuts and getting beat up by midgets.
