So Right and So True

It's not cool to hate Batman, so I'm glad I found a friend:

Scare the bad guys with karate is the least helpful, most moronic thing a young billionaire could do with his wealth and free time, short of building a doomsday device. If he quit with the crime-fighter malarkey, stayed home playing Xbox, and literally just paid property tax on all the shit he owns, he’d do more good than he does as Batman, because at least he would not be beating the shit out of people and undermining the civic justice system.

I also agree with the author about the 2013 Superman movie, which was absolutely fetid.

Frank Miller is obviously crazy, but then again so were most of the classic noir writers and artists. With dudes like that you just kind of have to strap yourself in and try not to think too hard as you let the waves of hardline masculinity wash over you.
