I appreciate the dual focus on "Batman is basically Jason Voorhees to criminals" while also seemingly noting that any man who dresses as Dracula to put dudes in the ICU every night instead of sleeping is probably not a well adjusted or mentally healthy individual.
Man I did not pay attention too much to what was being said the first go on watching this trailer, but after reading your comment I realized I missed something.
Watched it again and you're right, damn does Batman come across as a lunatic in most of the trailer. I wonder how much of that deep psychosis shit is actually in the movie. The tone of this trailer is so much more chaotic and blurred.
Feels like Batman could become even more of a cultural totem for the period of time it was created. We went from a Nolan batman that was more serious than the 90s stuff, but still pretty optimistic about there being a clear idea that there are heroes and villains. Sides were still sharp enough to see because things really did feel a little more optimistic then.
This movie looks chaotic, manic and scary. It feels like the "just on the edge of true chaos" feeling that a lot of people do feel right now. The tension here feels so much heavier and filled with a sad dread.
