>>5980826>>5981061>who is Batman?Nolan basically does Batman as conceived by the CIA (think about that Nolan Dark Knight (2008) Hong Kong extraterritorial rendition scene with the Chinese accountant, the MGSV meme Fulton parachute / skyhook rendition scene... what the hell is Batman doing??? Is Sicario also Batman? Is Batman regime change? Should Batman go into other countries to kill illegal immigrants or cartel drug traffickers? Incidentally, if you remember the criminal murder extradition case that triggered the HK protests (2014) hehe, you might realise that ironically, China is Batman. The fear then was that China would use laws to crack down and imprison "dissidents" ie rampant billionaire money laundering in Hong Kong, literally the opposite of how Nolan portrayed it in the film with the corrupt Chinese accountant)
This is why I conceive of an alternate Batman who is a Mexican illegal immigrant who commits crimes to help the downtrodden underclass, not only is there cool Aztec / Mayan vampire bat god imagery, but this is a narrative that subverts Christopher Nolan CIA Batman hehe with his investment banker surveillance national security 9/11 extraterritorial rendition themes. I mentioned before I was very impressed by the Nicolas Winding Refn vigilante film series Too Old To Die Young (it features an orphaned Mexican criminal as a sort of antihero vs the vigilante cop) this series was screenwritten I believe by some veteran comic book writer (this guy? no idea if he is famous)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_BrubakerI felt like this arthouse TV series had strong echoes of the Batman theme, it is very SLOW but there are multiple interlocking vengeance / vigilante themes, you are not sure who is the hero as everyone is killing and torturing each other. It was better and morally darker than any superhero film I have ever seen
