Great. So we're going to be seeing this meme 8 times every month?

This is why the Nolan Batman trilogy (really the first two films) resonated so well with the global audience.

It was an ordinary guy against systemic corruption, something that a majority of the global population lives in every day.

Not a superhero against an externalized villain whose motives can be boiled down to either "evil because I deserve it" (the main antagonist) or "evil because of necessity" (every thug and extra who gets beat up).

Iron Man was also basically a giant ad for the US military in Afghanistan lol. Marvel never brought back the Taliban ten rings in Shang Chi
