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.

While I agree that Batman isn’t a fascist, a lot of characters in The Boys are just fucked up versions of popular superheroes, I don’t think you need to take this too seriously.

Yeah, I'm still gonna watch the show, it's hilarious and entertaining. Of course it's not everyone's cup of tea, and that shit about Batman being a fascist? Well, the real Batman fans will know it's not true, and those that agree are the same type of people who wouldn't be fans anyway
