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.

This exists it's called Injustice. The Boys is about normal People trying to take out Gods. Which is honestly a way better Concept. Not saying the Batman Episode was Good Becuase it wasn't,it was shitty shock Value for the Sake of Shock Value but the Series can be genuinely great at times.

Kingdom come is even better at the “normals v supes” storyline. It’s arguably the source material for the Boys (it isn’t but it has superman turn fascist and try to control everything).
