>conspiracy theorists think the city officials is corrupt >officials are actually corrupt >they start killing officials >then they cause millions in property damage and decide to kill potentially thousands of civilians for no reason or because "Wahhh im an incel"
They had a good movie for a bit there, lost me at the end
Not once does the film mention a lack of sex as a motivation though.
Eli Young
i don't think it writes off riddler's motivation though. it's the same one as batman's... up until he starts wanting to destroy everything.
Ian Green
IF YOU ARE A FAGGOT PLEASE DO NOT LIE....WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR FUCKING A GUY?
Ethan Morgan
Up to a point, Batman unironically thought the corrupt officials deserved it and that Riddler might've been in the right if Riddler didn't reveal himself to be a psycho spaz who wants to destroy Gotham while spurning on a mass-shooting.
Owen Stewart
Why does he want to destroy anything other than the corrupt officials? There was no "This is why im evil" other than what we draw from his barebones backstory of being an orphan and being ugly and massively autistic
Adam Anderson
He explicitly states that being an orphan that the system abused, and let rats nibbled on was the reason.
He explicitly said that he hated Bruce Wayne becuase Bruce was a faggoty crybaby Billionaire orphan.
Even when the producers spoon feed the entire motivation and plot to some people they still don't get it. Guess how we know your American you fucking spastic.
Joseph Wood
Which was retarded. Riddler was starting to make sense so they just suddenly turned him into a psycho.
Xavier Sullivan
retard
Ryan James
Shit story being an orphan isn't a good enough reason to kill a bunch of random innocent people good villains make you sympathize with them
Nolan Cruz
i don't know. seemed that he resented bruce wayne getting more attention maybe - and held the whole city responsible. lol
Cameron Stewart
I thought it was exactly like that too they made him psycho at the last second and he hires or indoctrinates a bunch of other guys into doing a 500 man mass shooting >NOOOOOOOOOOO dont kill the corrupt officialrinos
Brayden Gutierrez
so is the moral of the story that we shouldnt let autism run so rampant in society cust there was like a 50 player mass shooting at the end of that movie
Jeremiah Wright
>Tease finally unmasking Batman as Bruce Wayne
Pussy out and explode things instead. Yawn!
Justin Ramirez
I’m not the first to point out that Batman doesn’t defend anything except the status quo for the corporate elite. All of his villains turn to crime to make money when the system turns them into freaks and instead of fixing any root problems, Batman acts as a palliative the same way politicians say the answer to stop crime is by increasing the police budget. In reality, we know the origin of crime is poverty but capitalism operates on scarcity so it’s biggest beneficiaries can never actually end poverty. 1 in 6 children in the U.S. go hungry each night even though the machine of capitalism has conquered the scarcity of food. In The Dark Knight, Batman locates the Joker by tapping into everyone’s phones and triangulating his position- this is an obvious reference to Bush’s Patriot Act and the NSA violating peoples rights and privacy “for their own good”. Bush was also born into money but talked himself up as a man of the people to pull the wool over the public’s eyes while dividing up the oil fields of foreign nations for Halliburton to take over. The interests of the corporate elite will never be to serve the common man. That’s why Gotham never gets any better. That’s why ours doesn’t either. Do you still think Batman is the good guy?
Camden Rogers
I would be totally content if some incels flood my city, i don't have to go to work
Carter Russell
They would ask you to come in anyway
Jonathan Martinez
the origin of crime is being a scumbag. I know plenty of poor people who are decent human beings
Ayden Young
it depends on how batman is written. they didn't do that here. even riddler saw himself in him. same with heath's joker and killing joke joker.
Jordan Johnson
Riddler was the coolest part of this movie.
This movie is actually a good criticism of Batman, he doesn't do shit but beating up thugs, he doesn't change the socio-economic landscape.
Mason Young
it is possible to be a criminal against society if you feel you cannot otherwise be a part of that society for whatever reason. That is it. This and Joker say "be mindful and cautious outliers. Beat them down if they get out of line as they are potentially dangerous." It is a warning to losers who this sort of media bring out in droves.
Jonathan Hughes
Oh no, not the poor conspiracy theorists!
Carter Nelson
Realistically, the flood primarily killed mostly functionally and mentally disabled people and the homeless when you think about it.
Jeremiah Bennett
Yes but in the TDK, Batman destroys the tech to tap into everyone's phones. That's how it is supposed to be used. Very limited use in extreme cases. Bush government never had any limits and neither has any government since.
Ryder Flores

Andrew Moore

Sebastian Rodriguez
The proliferation of the term “conspiracy theorist” to be made synonymous with “crazy” was a tactic by the CIA in the wake of the JFK assassination. Politicians and corporations conspire to topple foreign governments and take their resources all the time. But try telling that to people and they’ll look at you like you got a screw loose
Cameron Wilson
Since we can't fix them on the inside, we just have to support their enemies/rivals to take them down.
Oliver Clark
Not the first time either. Marvel did the same thing to Flagsmasher in Falcon and Winter Soldier.
Ryder Cox
Governments never give up power once given it. There's never be a situation that said otherwise. But most people are too lazy to stay vigilant. They keep telling themselves not to get involved and they'll cope with a little violation here or there. Before they know it, they're powerless.
Charles Cooper
He wanted to collapse the system and ruin people's trust in it because it's corrupt. Batman actively works with the system and will never change anything really. None of the big busts that happen in the film would've happened without Riddler's help
Charles Edwards
The US government is a special kind of son of a bitch.
It got connection deep down to the Roman empire and the British empire.
Parker Reyes
Patriot Act has now expired by the way
Bentley Murphy
It's been repeatedly renewed. Most recently in 2019, the same Democrats screaming that Trump is a fascist had no problems letting him have fascist powers.
Isaiah Diaz
Aids.
Jayden Johnson
It expired in 2020
Robert Morgan
what a fugly son of a bitch. god really had a laugh when he made him, then had him become an actor.
Levi Smith
>All of his villains turn to crime to make money when the system turns them into freaks and instead of fixing any root problems Yeah the whole reason the city was a shithole in the first place is because the villains were embezzling money from the Wayne donations and bribing government officials, and nobody could pin them/keep them in jail because of corrupt politicians. The riddler probably did more for the city than batman ever did just by killing those guys. It just feels like they wrote themselves into a corner near the end of the movie and hacked their way out by making the riddler suddenly want to kill every single innocent person in the entire city for no reason, despite spending the previous 3/4 of the movie meticulously choosing specific guilty targets. As for the rest of your post: just get rid of niggers and jews lmao why overcomplicate things
Parker Richardson
I do like how the movie presents Batman and Riddler as being on the same boat to a certain degree. Even Bruce kept wondering if he was making any changes at all. The final realization that Batman's influence is actually what inspired Riddler to take action in the first place was pretty neat. Even with the final act being more bombastic, I couldn't hate it when the whole movie had me genuinely sympathizing with Batman.
Matthew Kelly
Trump refused to sign the extension to the patriot act after it was extended by dems and repubs. It's no longer active after the veto you idiot.
Jason Rivera
Wow, Trump is more based than I gave him credit for.
Samuel Price
>everyone refers to the riddler and his followers s incels >not once is sex or gender even mentioned What did they mean by this?
Daniel Smith
it's not just "being an orphan" retard. It's being an orphan in a system paid for by the Wayne Foundation, and your orphanage was a complete traumatizing shithole. Then you grow up and find out that the Wayne Foundation mostly goes to one organized crime leader and has the entire city in it's pocket, and he, and every one of Gotham's leaders, knows that the money is going to crime instead of to the people it was actually designated for.
Camden Sullivan
the total number of people in poverty has been halved since the year 2000 poverty is set to be eliminated worldwide by 2030
cope harder, faggot. Capitalism is the solution to poverty.
Elijah Robinson
>if you feel you cannot otherwise be a part of that society no excuse. In America you always have a choice.
Elijah Martin
there are plenty of crimes that are morally good though (eg killing politicians, jews, minorities, women, etc)
Brayden Williams
No unpsycho kills people, retard.
Nolan Davis
>All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
Christian Jones
This. Think of how many rich people commit crimes in the daily. Most of the elite do highly illegal shit all the time, wether it's buying high end drugs or human trafficking, black mail, bribes. Crime does not come from poverty but scumbaggery.
Caleb Morris
edward nashton unironically did nothing wrong
Zachary Johnson
they always do that to force characters to be bad guys >person goes off on elaborate speech with sources and historical relevancy to justify his dislike of minority group >UH OH HE SAID THE N WORD AND HIT A WOMAN ridder was better for gotham than batman lmao, but I guess he it's wrong to hurt people if you're poor.
Aaron Butler
The first time we see Batman’s spy computer thing we hear: >This is wrong. And it’s obviously a criticism of such measures used to take down terrorism. >I see now what I would have to become to stop men like him. etc. The whole movie is a discussion on whether becoming a monster to defeat evil is worth it. Joker’s whole motivation is to corrupt Gotham and by extension, Batman, and he sort of succeeds in a sense, up to the point where Batman assumes the blame for Harvey Dent’s murders.
Levi Williams
>The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'...and I'll look down and whisper 'No.
Michael Price
American culture revolves around sex. They have holidays for sex, they killed 600,000 white men for sex
Bentley Rodriguez
Only because the goalposts of what is considered poverty have been moved massively What is middle class now would be lower class in 2000 Inflation has increased rapidly and purchasing power has been on a steady decline for decades If you think the next ten years are going to be good by any measure of the imagination, you have another thing coming
Andrew Morgan
incel as a term has drifted away from its original meaning and now refers to men who have fallen through the cracks of society. it's a political statement because under capitalism a man only has value if he is economically and socially productive. the rejection of the expectation to consume and find meaningful relationships with others is a rejection of society itself
Cameron Martinez
I thought the same thing. He was the good guy doing good killing the politicians. But that's a bad message for the goy.
So at the end they just have him want to kill Bruce and flood the city to make him the "bad guy"
Oliver Howard
>Not once does the film mention a lack of sex as a motivation though.
The (((media))) uses the term "Incel" to vilify white straight males and push the narrative that its some sort of terrorist organization!!!FACT!!!
Christian Bennett
Because of word association they don't have to. He's a white male with glasses and a nerdy baby face and he's using the internet and conspiracy theories to do terrorist shit, and he sings Ave Maria like a creepy nerd. He's 100% a incel while cool Batman makes out with a black Jewish woman and does the right thing.
Owen Perez
>the free market will fix it! >the wealth will trickle down!
US billionaires got 62% richer during the pandemic and US politicians used the briefing on the impending lockdown to sell their stock in companies they knew would tank and buy stock in Zoom. Meanwhile the minimum wage has stayed the same even though the cost of food, gas, and housing have all increased significantly. Capitalism, the answer to, and cause of, all life’s problems. Eat shit, boot licker.
Brayden Cruz
100% correct!!!FACT!!!
Cameron Wilson
He was mad about corrupt politicians stealing a fund supposedly created to help the poor. He was mad about the entire city grieving for poor little billionaire orphan Bruce Wayne, while he rotted in a rat infested orphanage. He was mad about stupid citizens celebrating the victory of a new "progressive" mayor, when he knew that wouldn't change a thing.
Try watching movies without looking at your phone every 30 seconds.
Anthony Russell
>US billionaires got 62% richer Who?
Luke Edwards
as i said, incel is now a political term. the reason the riddler is labeled as an incel isn't because he isn't getting with women, it's because he is against the status quo. batman is portrayed as way more of a sexless creep in the film (he quite literally watches selina undress through her window) but it's cool when he does it because batman is pro status quo
