Matt Reeves’s The Batman hit movie theaters on March 4, bringing the latest take of the legendary Caped Crusader to the silver screen. Robert Pattinson takes the helm this time, the third different actor to portray the superhero in 10 years. The movie has performed well at the box office and garnered mainly positive reviews. It also continued the disappointing trend of inserting left-wing wokeness into the story of a beloved comic character. The perpetrator this time: white privilege.
Without revealing too many details of the movie, there is one scene in particular in which wokeness rears its ugly head. Selina Kyle (Catwoman) is talking to the titular Batman about a particular event that occurred in the film. Inexplicably, she brings up skin color into the discussion, commenting, “All anyone cares about in this place are the white, privileged a**holes.”
It was a gratuitous swipe. The skin color of the people Catwoman was demeaning had nothing to do with any aspect of the plot. They were people that she thought were villains who happened to be white. This type of toxic rhetoric has become all too familiar from the woke mob. Under the blanket of racial equality, Hollywood sycophants use their artistic license to stoke the flames of racial division, often in situations where skin color is completely irrelevant.
In addition to racial prejudice, Catwoman also carries the gay banner. In the movie, it is hinted that Selina Kyle had a romantic relationship with one of the female characters. This assertion was later verified by Zoe Kravitz, the actress who portrays Kyle.
In a press junket for the film, Kravitz said she portrayed the character as bisexual because she believed there was a romantic relationship between the two women.
“That’s definitely the way I interpreted that, that they had some kind of romantic relationship,” Kravitz said.
So, Batman may be able to fight off sinister villains such as the Joker, Bane, or the Penguin, but he has proven to be no match for battling wokeness. Such indoctrination is out of place in a movie about a superhero dressed as a bat fighting corruption and crime. Yet, as is often the case with superhero movies nowadays, the most prevalent corruption comes from the screenwriters. And that foe is too great for any superhero to overcome.
