Batman used to be an icon, a representative of manly qualities and of certain virtues that are idealized by men in general. He would represent what a perfect man is. He is a human being who has raised himself to the level of a super hero due to his phyisical, intellectual and moral qualities, and because he has a mental endurance that has to be exemplified. But... that used to exist in a time where we lived in a society that wanted to transmit to younger generations certain ideals, incarnated by men _ and I insist on that word, men _ like Bruce Wayne. That time has ended now, and what used to define a man is no longer wanted and needs to be reset. You all have noticed the great replacement of male icons by female ones _ they're talking about a female James Bond (don't count me in for that). So waht happens then for the iconic male figures that have lasted a long time and cannot be replaced?
You kill their qualities... You make a mockery of them and you rely on the mediocrity and vulgarity of your audience that will praise the originality and humor of a movie whose jokes are hackneyed and whose script is deprived of any ambition. The more mediocre your movie is, the more successful it is today. Critcs don't mind at all when a franchise is stabbed, betrayed, dragged into the mud, coarsed, spit on, stepped on... That is the reason why critics acclaimed Starwars 8, a film that still hurts in people's throats. They find novelty where it is despise from a director, and renewal when the guy crawled out of complexity by kicking everything forward for someone else.
That is the reason why they are able to acclaim that piece of mud... Batman and Sccoby-Doo! Batman and Scooby-Doo. I can't get used to that.
The demise of Batman's icon started with the anime inspired from the 50's tv series. It was the starting point. Then there was Batman and Harley Quinn... where Batman's qualities are less and less visible. Now we have him team up with the Scooby-Doo gang. Is that movie coming from Hell?
I am very sad of what is happening to Batman, but the erasure of his icon seems to be on the agenda. We may have a totally new Batman for the next generation, a Steve Urkell's twin maybe. Someone who won't be a hero anymore. You saw what they did to Thor without the leastest scruple. In Starwars 8 they turned the charismatic and powerfull figure of General Hux into a comic relief to make room for Captain Phasma's badassness and make her look like the true leader of the First Order. The feminist agenda is carefully, slowly and irrevocably killing every male icon that used to be representative of what young boys should admire.
And they say young boys are growing ruder and ruder...
