The "rich guy fights crime" superhero gimmick was already old when the character came out, the dark angsty stuff isn't too original either, and only 2 of the movies are halfway decent. And yet people eat up that grimdark poo poo.

His games are fun.

Really though, it's a dude who makes himself awesome through sheer will and hard work. Trained both mind and body to perfection, which is inspiring for us couch potato goons.

Fancy, shiny nerd tech is a plus too.

he also had a shitload of inherited wealth to go get the best kung fu training and gadgets and poo poo and he uses it all to beat on poors because waaaaah mommy and daddy.

at least iron man built all his own poo poo instead of having His Black Friend give it to him

super heroes glorify the individual over the masses and the will of the state. a super hero single handedly saving the day from villains - this is basic contempt for the people united. under communism we will rid ourselves of this decadent "art" and execute rob liefeld

super heroes also distort evil - in that it is represented as singular villains when most evil is actually the result of systematic injustice. where does batman stand in the war against oppression, disease and imperial war?

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

Well, Batman is a ripoff of the Shadow, who is a rich guy who disguises himself as a dude with a big nose and brainwashes people.

Plus he always takes the pacifist route by doing a no-kill run in his adventures. Much like some spergy weirdos who take pride in doing that in games.

Bruce Wayne sort of gets to do whatever he wants all day but suddenly he is doing useful stuff at night and doesn't need sleep.
