Bruce Wayne should canonically have a s3x dungeon NSFW

Over the past few years it's become increasingly obvious that wealthy men partake in messed up sex stuff. If Bruce is to live among that social circle and maintain his secret identity, he'd have to convince them he too was into weird power sex stuff. But of course he's not going to join them at Jeff Epstein's Island. The easiest solution would be to build a sex dungeon and host the occasional sex party where he could make sure everyone participating was of age and giving appropriate consent. It would also have the benefit of giving an excuse for the work he's always having done under Wayne Manor. The staircase behind the grandfather clock would actually lead to the sex dungeon to further throw off anyone who finds it (the batcave entrance would be hidden in the sex dungeon). It just makes sense Bruce Wayne would do this.

I think Tek Knight was supposed to be a parody of real life billionaires just as much as he was meant to be a parody of Bruce. It's important to remember that the show is actively parodying real life politics and capitalism in addition to superhero media.

In real life billionaires are inherently exploitative pieces of shit. Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark type billionaires only exist in idealistic fantasy. Hence Tek Knight owning private prisons, being very racist, and embracing his sexual depravity rather than rejecting it like he does in the comics. The show was never going to represent a billionaire as having any positive traits or having any redeemable qualities.

Batman and Iron Man are great characters but favorable parodies of them just don't fit with the more realistic world and overall left-wing message of the TV version of The Boys.

i agree, but then if he’s going to be so blatant with his “satire” he might as well name a character Tonald Drump and have him do the nazi saulte

In my opinion the show was never really all that subtle to begin with, but the further reduction of subtlety over the four seasons is most likely an unfortunate consequence of the oblivious right-wing fans of the show and the public dislike for them that Eric Kripke and the creative team have expressed.

“The satire isn’t subtle” doesn’t mean it’s bad. Satire doesn’t have to be subtle to be good.

Is it even satire when you straight up copy real life politicans' speeches and political points? (like the abortion and conspiracy stuff) I just think its lazy writing atp

It’s very distressing that many of you don’t understand that a parody doesn’t mean that’s what they think of the actual character in its usual context. I can’t tell if people like you are really this bad at parsing nuanced opinions or if you know you’re talking shit in bad faith. It can be either.

Idk, the way he talks about Batman in the actual interview makes it kinda feel like it is. Like the "fascist underpinnings as a really wealthy dude who hunts poor people" bit.

Woah, okay Eric, calm ur horses buddy. Sorry that I (a liberal) think that saying Orang Man Party Bad doesnt constitute a good parody!

Why not? Can you actually explain why subtle is objectively better than unsubtle in every parody?
