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

Calling Bruce Wayne an ordinary guy is a travesty. And the whole point of the Iron Man 1st movie is that warmongering is a terrible legacy. Are you sure you watched any of these movies?

the Nolan batman trilogy is just how the public are sheep and they need a super badass Seal Team Six operator to save them from themselves
