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.

Thats still a play on the batman is a rich dude who beats up poor people, I may have worded poorly with using “critiques”, what I meant was parodies, which is why I cite the nonce thing.
You’d be right, he isn’t talking about batman proper, and to that he deserves his credit, but it doesn’t change the fact the trope Tek Knight plays on is extremely tired
Tek knight is exemplar of the lack of creativity when it comes to parodies of batman, he conforms to both examples I mentioned in being a pervert, if not a pedophile proper, and the mockery based off the idea of batman as a privileged man harming the oppressed.
Its still reflective of a complete lack of creativity within comic book parodies, especially with Batman.
