He's a furry.

Think about it.

He has an outfit that makes him look like a bat that he made himself.

He regularly has sex with a woman dressed like a cat.

Nobody knows how he has so much money.

He loves his specially-crafted toys that cost hundreds of dollars.

Really close relationship with teenage boy who changes their persona when they become a young adult.

this is pretty much why i can't stand the superhero franchises in general

the idea that there are heroes and villians is pretty outdated and silly

that's already a defeatist way to think. why compare yourself to the rats when you could be a tiger or something predatory that would actually strike fear into someone? no one in a city has looked at a bat and went, "aw, poo poo a loving bat!"

This thinking is toxic because there's plenty of villains and all it does is make potential heroes doubt themselves

villains are shown as inevitable opponents who regularly crop up and must be then defeated, instead of the result of historical processes. how many people has batman sent to jail? what's the recidivism rate? gotham does not appear to have an abundance of social services or a particularly prosperous economy. what batman really represents is a warped, dystopian view of the world in the minds of petty bourgeois writers
some of the better comics address this, in that either batman is just an obsessed weirdo who is more interested in his crusade than fixing actual systemic issues, or by using bruce wayne as a figure for social change

Batman Returns and what else? The 1966 Adam West one?

I mean, personally, I think the Schumacher Batman films were good dumb fun and people take a man who dresses up as a bat to punch bad people way too seriously.

I think the Burton ones haven't aged that well, and I'd really prefer to rewatch the Schumacher ones now.

Batman's a sociopath who dresses up in a bat costume and dates a woman who dresses like a cat. There is a word for people like that.
