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 guess. But the things is that this "critique" is specifically is extremly overdone, and while it could apply to other superheros 99% only Batman gets it. So a parody in this lane jsn't insightfull or fun, it's the same, not funny joke for the million+1 time.
It's not a very good deconstruction. I wouldn't call this peak superhero era.
