Fixing The Batman's Copaganda Problem || DC Comics has a history of using Batman for police propaganda -- also known as copaganda -- in comics, movies and television, and Matt Reeves' The Batman starring Robert Pattinson isn’t exempt from this. But with the origins of police being linked to colonization, oppression, capitalism and white supremacy, there’s a way that The Batman Part 2 and The Batman Part 3 can fix how The Batman spreads copaganda and instead support the police abolition movement through a relatively new yet very popular organization in the comics.
