Batman as a modern franchise is mistake theory when the property he came from was conflict theory. Batman fights crime by fighting criminals - absurd as is easily illustrated by present SF - criminals are protected by the system. Zorro's ultimate enemy was a corrupt governor. https://twitter.com/SantiOfHK_/status/1449821799097651202 …

Batman goes out and beats up shoplifters - the result isn't the reopening of Walgreens in SF - the result is that the entire USG finds his hideout and drops JDAMs on it for daring to injure their pets. Batman would have to go out and beat up ... the city council - same result.

The only iteration of Batman that’s mistake theory is the Adam West version, which is why it was intentionally campy.

Nolan Batman is an interesting mix The legal system in the first two are on the payroll of the criminals but that's still a bit off - they have a direct monetary interest in vague "mob crime profits" SF prosecutors aren't getting kickbacks from shoplifters - they're ideological

Nolan DA has conflict with the system itself that he's undermining, SF DA is fully in line with the system. Mistake theory comes in for explaining why no one stands up - in Nolan's vision b/c they're timid. In reality, because they're on the side of crime for <reasons>
