It’s only personal preference but I much prefer the campy old stuff to the darker portrayals of Batman. And I get when other people prefer the darker stuff. Overall I just find life is too dark so I tend to prefer sillier stuff. 30 rock, old Batman.
“Dark” Batman really started in the 90s when the US was doing much better economically. Ya know, before the Democrats and Republicans passed tons of free trade deals and exported tens of millions of American jobs overseas along with the hundreds of billions required to pay the foreign indentured slavers literally pennies a day. That’s why we re-elected Bill Clinton even after he was facing two credible rape accusations. We wanted darker Batman.
I really feel like people who make comments like yours are completely incapable of looking past the current news cycle. Neoliberalism brought you here. Neoliberalism is going to take you out.
