Let's post revisionist interpretations of pop culture

Batman is a billion times worse than his villains and is little better than an agent of megacorporate oppression.

His villains at least have goals that are finite. They have goals like "steal a million dollars and gtfo" and "steal back my invention from douchebag corporation x" or "kill this douchebag official." Batman, though, he's just fighting an unwinnable "war on crime." His villains are motivated by revenge? Well, so is Batman, except his quest for revenge is ongoing and will never end.

Plus there's the whole thing where all his villains are trying to get revenge on a corporation or government agency they have legitimate grievances with. What, they should do things through "the system?" Well if that was something that could work then maybe they would have fucking done that instead.

Spiderman is icky and he leaves strands of spiderweb all over the place, why isn't there an inquiry into this so-called hero of New York about his environmental and disgusting impact on New York's infrastructure?

Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes grows up to be Tyler Durden.

Star Trek and Warhammer 40k are in the same continuity.  The relative peace of the Star Trek universe collapses into the Age of Strife, which then gives rise to the Imperium.  Also, Star Trek starships literally travel at warp speed.

The "real" world is simply a highly detailed MMORPG.  None of us have any physical existence outside of our electronic reality.
