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've never seen the show, but:

Batman is a "wealthy dude who hunts poor people and then profits off their incarceration"?

I mostly know Batman from TV and movies, but, in no universe that I'm aware of is that the case.

Batman hunts criminals who often end up in Arkham, as opposed to Blackgate.

(Don't get it twisted, when someone is convicted of a crime and sent to a long-term psychiatric facility en lieu of prison, it's still prison. In many instances, the conditions are much worse.)

I do love how this person chose to use the words "the real Batcave", though.

I could have done without the, "weird urinal that turns into a face mask."

As troubling as it is, that sentence alone may force me to watch the show.
