What We Think

Batman v Superman focuses on classic characters and serious themes without significant wokeness. While it flirts with deeper societal questions, it's more interested in spectacle and legacy heroes than modern ideological posturing. Non-woke fans should have few complaints.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Batman v Superman largely stays true to its core characters. Casting and characterization focus more on established lore and personal arcs than shoehorning modern identity politics. There is little evidence of forced representation or narrative sacrificed for ideology, so it gets a low woke score here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film explores dark themes and questions about power, morality, and heroism, but doesn't mock or undermine traditional values outright. While some may see Superman's persecution as a possible allegory, it never devolves into outright cultural revisionism or aggressive subversion of masculinity.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews are present. Batman and Superman genuinely debate methods and morality, and there’s real tension between their philosophies. The film doesn't portray dissenters as caricatures or stamp out pluralism, so it avoids the typical ideological monoculture pitfall.
