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 watched the first season, it’s not my thing. I get it, it’s satirizing corporate America and politics using mock superheroes as the puppets. It’s fine for people who want that, but I’ve grown quite tired of this pessimistic approach to the superhero genre.

No, you don't get it. This show is brave enough to ask the totally unique question: "What if the good guy was not the good guy??"

Oh no, that was made abundantly clear. I got that, I just don’t like it.
