This is what I’m SAYING. Ok you rounded up a few criminals with your batarang. What are you doing about institutional inequality that fosters crime, BRUCE.

Wow, I never thought about that.

Why I Hate Batman Openly Stated Reason #80million

reminds me of what my crime narratives professor said about Sherlock Holmes/the specific detective story genre Doyle spawned — how it presents crime as an individual phenomenon, one where the blame always rests solely on the criminal, instead of taking a wider view (some later detective/crime stories/novels resist or complicate this — for example dashell hammett’s red harvest, in which everyone refers to “personville” as poisonville — subtle, right? that’s a detective story but also a gangster story and a lot of gangster stories implicated broader society for setting the rules that gangsters [often immigrants or from relatively recent immigrant families of origins looked down upon at the time, like say Italians] had to break because they weren’t allowed into the more law-abiding avenues to success. one interesting example of this we talked about was the great gatsby read as a gangster novel — gatsby is after all a criminal, a bootlegger, an american but through no initial fault of his own the wrong kind of American to be granted access to the things he wanted which those around him took as their birthright.)

uh. anyway. I love batman but this is totes true.
