Part 10/14:
Political and Social Commentary: From Batman to RFK Junior
The episode shifts into political territory with commentary on a Batman series where Bruce Wayne is portrayed as a poor, radical anti-establishment figure. Hosts critique this "Antifa Batman," viewing it as an overreach that destroys the nuanced portrayal of heroism rooted in tragedy and identity.
Additionally, the hosts address a claim made by journalist Jerry Boer linking The Dark Knight Rises to a critique of left-wing rebellion, including references to Occupy Wall Street and political figures like Barack Obama. Their stance is that modern liberal narratives tend to demonize or oversimplify complex revolutionary themes.
