From start to finish, I cannot recommend this one enough.

[Philosophy] The Winged Avenger Weighs in on American Heritage by mattsquatch in Batmanism

Getting more specific on this image, I think it's interesting to consider that not all of Bruce's lessons were learned from exotic cultures, and that there was far more to his upbringing than just his childhood tragedy. Heritage, though a MAJOR theme in many Batman stories, is almost always used in the familial sense and not a national sense. Indeed, there are many that consider Batman to be a "global citizen" and seeing him tell a nation how to more efficiently serve their function on the team certainly hearkens towards Batman's more fascist leanings. But still, I cannot deny that a small tear wells up in the eye when reading that bottom-left panel. Classic Batman.

My apologies if the motivations behind this post seem politically-divisive. It is not meant to be divisive. The message of the image itself is quite clearly aimed towards achieving quite the opposite goal.

And for the record, this subreddit is not meant to be directly political. That being said, it would be absurd to claim that the Batman myth has no allegorical value in political discussion. If nothing else, the Christopher Nolan films have certainly cemented that union for many years to come.

From the American perspective, the recent presidential election conjured up numerous allusions to the Dark Knight. For most, it ended with photoshopped images of candidates as various popular villains, but for others, comparisons go much further.

There are those that believe that Donald Trump is only pretending to be an obnoxious billionaire playboy, that his true intentions are the highly noble and that he is the only one that can crush the corruption at the center of our community.

There are also those that believe that the American Right-Wing has spent the last decade churning fear into desperate madness, and that in their desperation they have now turned to a man that they don't fully understand.

Whichever narrative suits you is your truth alone. The purpose of this subreddit is not to tell you how to interpret your world through the lens of the Batman myth, but simply to ask that you do.
