Not Respectful to Batman at all


This is Batman. Freaking Batman. The greatest super hero of all time. With the greatest rogues gallery of all time. He deserves better than this. Now if it had been the Flash, Green Lantern, maybe Robin or any of the Marvel characters, who cares. But Batman and to a lesser extent Superman and Wonder Woman, they deserve better.

This is the holy trinity after all.

Um flash is awesome

....and Batman isn't really a "super hero." He's a ridiculously rich guy with expensive gadgets.

Think of it this way: this movie is a love letter to the ridiculousness of the Batman interpretations over the years.

Exactly. It affectionately pokes fun at the inherent absurdity of the character. If it wasnt respectful to the character, it wouldnt have bothered giving him a character arc.

So he shouldn't have fun poked at him?

The very best spoofs are inherently complimentary.
