The thing about Batman, at least to me, is that it's always hard to reconcile a guy who is a billionaire and has a near sci-fi tech advantage over literally everyone else... with noir as a genre. I know that Batman is "supposed" to be noir, but noir to me is the jaded street detective who got fired from his police job with only a pistol, their brain, one friend who is semi-trustable at best, a bottle of whiskey and a pesky conscience they can't drown with it. Putting a super genius billionaire in it kind of ruins it by default and moves it toward sci-fi/suspense.

Then to stay noir, they have to keep Batman somehow forever the underdog, so the power creep begins and requires supernatural villains to keep up, because how would the average person ever be a challenge?

There’s a hell of a lot more superhero content than any mentions of superhero fatigue. And I don’t just mean FS; this is pretty much the case everywhere. The MCU alone has over 30 movies with more already in post production. That’s not counting the shows. Or DCU, plus all the DC content that isn’t DCU. Oh and there are the cartoons again. It’s a never ending parade, quite literally. There is no end in sight and in fact plans for superhero content fill the next 15 years on both the big and little screeens.

It's relative. Compared to regular people, they're rich. Compared to their peers they're poor as shit.

[(Anonymous)]

I think OP has a point here though. It's pointedly not supposed to be a Cinderella story. A local landlord marrying the owner of a hotel chain is more accurate than a peasant marrying a noble. Is the local landlord poor as shit compared to the hotel guy? Yeah, but nobody outside of the upper class would call them poor.

Ehhh, that's a bit of a simplification. They're not on the same economic level as Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, or Lady Catherine de Bourgh. That's not the same as being poor. That'd be like calling someone poor because they only earn $500,000 a year and not a million dollars a year.

I don’t think they make these movies for Jane Austen fans though. They aren’t true adaptations (according to the way too many secrets we’ve had over the years); they’re just meant to give a general audience an idea of Austen’s stories. They keep getting made because they’re super cheap to make, they’re a reliable source of income for up and coming British actors and a safe spend for the Beeb or any production company. They’re cosy weekend family viewing content and not much more tbh.

I feel like at this point the Batman without magic has been done to death and it is nice to be back to the magic and the weird.

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - Even within the upper class, nobody calls them poor. It's noted that the Bennet sisters' dowries are not impressive, that's true. It's also noted that Mrs. Bennet in particular does not have an upper class background and neither does her brother's family, the Gardiners. Even Lady Catherine, the snobbiest of all the characters, takes issue with that background more than she does their finances. Anyone who looks on P&P as a Cinderella story or a rich man/poor girl story is likely misunderstanding the social context.

[(Anonymous)]

Batman universes without magic just mean Batman and various villains get technology that's indistinguishable from magic anyway.

Has there ever been a real Batman noir?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I meant nobody in present day outside of rich snobs would call an established local landlord family poor, and it'd be inaccurate for a movie to portray them to a general audience as poor. But yeah, agreed in general.
