Part 2/7:
The trailer's closing moment features comedian George Lopez’s character delivering a provocative line: "Batman is a fascist." This line, which many felt was inappropriate or out of place in a family-friendly trailer, quickly became a viral talking point. Its prominence at the end of the trailer meant it overshadowed other aspects of the film, such as character development or plot hints.
However, the controversy didn't end there. The film’s director, Angel Manuel Soto, responded to the backlash in a manner that some viewers found dismissive. When confronted, Soto apparently laughed off the upset fans and made it clear that he believed the controversy was a sign of the trailer's effectiveness, implying his job was done by provoking such reactions.
