I will say one thing though. Batman 2022 is a good movie. Not because i like superheroes but because it is subtle. Think of Clockwork Orange, weird punks dress up weird and beats people up. So its the only superhero movie in that genre of a movie where i actually applaud one movie of actually making sense interms of believable realism of why this would work.

I watched it! 

I agree that it's a well-made movie. The craft and techniques of movie-making and story-telling are well done. The music is effective. 

I thought they were wise to make him seem a little more vulnerable -- there's a kind of inflation in the movies where it seems like he can do anything and is in no danger at all, and this movie backs away from that.

That said, the subtext, the political message, the male fantasy element -- all of it is typical Hollywood corporate propaganda. It doesn't make us see ourselves better. It doesn't show us anything real about the world. It takes us away from real life and ultimately makes us stupider.
