In this piece of art I have interwoven two topics. On the one hand - through the inscription - the dystopian vision of the future in late stage capitalism is referred to. On the other hand, it is thematized that the so-called superhero Batman, who himself is extremely wealthy, terrorizes the marginalized and subaltern groups of Gotham City by means of brutal violence and vigilante justice, when they - often out of social need - commit crimes His behavior is all the more problematic when you consider that many of his victims come from mental institutions.

Another example of a POV meme using "POV" incorrectly...Edit: nvm

Batman is punching the bread thief, you. So the POV is actually being used correctly this time.

Got it. For some reason I was under the impression that Frog-Brawler was the original poster / creator.
