I’m pretty sure Ben Affleck’s Batman is Donald Trump

Just like everyone else who wasted money on Batman V Superman, I wasn’t a fan. The truth is I wasn’t looking forward to this movie at all, but that’s how things go sometimes. I tried to give it an open mind and was hoping to at least be entertained…

For a movie that implies fighting, the title characters (I’m pretty sure they aren’t heroes) fought for maybe ten minutes. Even then, they stopped fighting for literally the worst reason in the history of movies. So, yeah, I wasn’t a fan.

The first 90 or so minutes essentially did nothing to drive the plot forward in any discernible way, except I was able to draw some striking comparisons between Ben Affleck’s Batman and Donald Trump.

Essentially the entire reason Batman is pissed at Superman is that he is an alien who can’t be trusted and should not be allowed to exist in this great country. And no one invited him here anyway.

Sounds like someone wants to build a giant kryptonite wall.

Affleck-man, Bat-Ben, Benman — yeah, that one works. Benman spends a majority of the film basically just being upset that Superman has come to Metropolis — which is literally across a bay from Gotham, who knew? His anger turns to rage, rage turns to the desire to kill the man, which considering Superman the last of his kind is basically genocide. Yeah, that checks out.

So, if Benman is Donald Trump, then is Superman the Republican establishment?

Superman was incredibly weakened by Benman’s attacks, almost destroyed, but then they kissed and made up because of a shared experience. In the process they managed to destroy two cities and then they were ultimately both saved/put in their place (is there a difference) by a woman. Na, now I’m really stretching.

Or am I?
