    That’s Batman’s superpower. Affleck is the Batman that says it.

    His wealth increases every incarnation, essentially his wealth implied to be extreme, even by our standards. And one of the things he’s constantly questioned about is if his funds are going to things that have real outcomes.

    He, himself, is a vigilante capable of forensics that police are unwilling or unable to do. And throughout the comics, at least the modern ones, it often talks about how his lawlessness is a problem, and his approach at crime fighting is entirely flawed and has extreme consequences for only adhering to his line of never killing.

    To say that comics are thinly veiled propaganda is of billionaires is disingenuous to the entire medium. It would like be calling sci-fi thinly veiled propaganda that the elite consists of scientists making up words.

      Oh, not at all! The civil rights underwriting for all the comics is unmistakable.

      My comment was more about the video ad alone and how egregious it was and yet everyone down in the comments ate that up. I felt so uncomfortable reading them.
