Favourite childhood superhero

I don't know, but if that's in reality I would choose The Chairman Mao.

#17: It seems that these days, 'mentally ill' is used as a full-time, automatic replacement for, 'evil.' Yes; there are people who are not at fault for their actions; unable to control their actions. Those are a vast minority (especially in Gotham).

PS: Your statements' validity depend on the specific version of Batman.

PSS: Quoting entire posts is a waste of space.

i think the opposite is also true, presenting a character as a good guy, a superhero, gives the viewer the impression that this character is powerful and has no mental health issues. It's inexact. Similarly, it would seem difficult to imagine presenting a villain character who is technically without any mental health issues.

The problem is that cinema and screenwriters often refuse to update our perception of characters to reflect our times, and therefore maintain character standards that were acceptable in the 1950s, 60s, or 70s but are no longer relevant today.

I can agree with the logic of your argument, which I respect, even if I have a different opinion, I consider Batman not to be a superhero, and without going into detail about the term "superhero," which I find limited and outdated, Batman is more akin to a villain.

Batman acts alone (people who work with him like his butler, don't factor into the public image he wants to project) and doesn't want to help the collective, Gotham's people (that is, by helping Gotham city and the police to be more fair). Batman acts individually, mistakenly believing he can deliver justice single-handedly, even though he generally want to fights characters of his own caliber (the Joker, the Penguin, Harley Quinn).

This is common to most versions of Batman.

The Joker is another Batman, but older media avoids detailing his life or what made him the Joker because he's an antagonist and a villain. Therefore, I find the 2019 film interesting in that it helps us understand why the Joker is the Joker and why Batman isn't a perfect super-hero.
