    It’s right-wing propaganda in general.

    Who’s the hero? One of the richest men in the city.

    Who are his allies? The cops.

    Who are the enemies?

    • An immigrant who wears a mask
    • A psychiatrist
    • A psychologist
    • A female environmentalist
    • A male environmentalist

    What happens when his enemies are defeated? They are sent to a mental hospital… a mental hospital that is falling apart and chronically underfunded. That leads to them escaping, giving Batman another excuse to go beat them up.

    If Mr. Wayne is a billionaire and very influential in city politics, the way they always portray him, shouldn’t he be advocating tax increases on the wealthy, and using that money to fix up the city… or at the very minimum to fix up Gotham Asylum?
