Hate that they put the term "white privilege" into this


Really??? That exists in Gotham too?

That really was the most cringe moment in the otherwise pretty good movie. While I know that (inadvertently racist) catchphrase is still going fairly strong, it nevertheless made the film instantly have a weirdly dated feel to it at that moment (as if they'd made an Elian Gonzalez reference or something).

I still crack up at the elian and fidel line in 2 fast 2 furious XD

Unfortunately, when rewatching this movie, I will never not roll my eyes at this line >_>

what did we expect with Woke Man?

Yeah, the mayor is a Black woman, the police chief is Black, the doctors are Black, Catwoman is Black and yet there still is White privilege. They can't even keep it internally consistent.

What's the idea here? Has been popular for years and years, but you want to get the whole picture, simple as that.

It's a moronic take on Batman.

Batman isn't Batman for fun, his motivation is massive trauma.

He traded his life of wealth for one of self-sacrifice and extreme danger because he wants to make sure what happened to him never happens to others.

Whoever wrote that line doesn't understand the character.

Batman should have said something like, "You don't know me and never will".
