*New Batman movie spoilers ahead*

So I watched the new Batman movie yesterday and was disgusted at the blatant harmful stereotypes of care experienced people in the movie. I read a bunch of reviews before seeing and so far that I’ve seen, no one is talking about this. *Spoilers ahead*
It’s well-known that Batman is care experienced - his parents died in a tragic accident and he is raised by their butler Alfred. In the film, it’s told that Catwoman and the villain the Riddler are also care experienced and this motivates them in different ways.
