Part 3/7:
The trailer concludes with a line delivered by George Lopez’s character, Uncle Rudy, claiming that "Batman’s a fascist." At first glance, many dismissed this as a throwaway joke meant for comic relief. However, the line has ignited discussions in the fan community because of what it signifies about the film’s tone and underlying messaging.
This particular line isn’t just a casual joke. It points to a trend where certain films are increasingly incorporating edgy or provocative content to push boundaries and appeal to a specific demographic—primarily younger audiences who may not be deeply familiar with DC lore. The line also suggests a deeper, more irreverent take on Batman, portraying him as an authoritarian figure, which diverges from the traditional heroic image.
