   Batman Returns (1992)

   Batman, for all his shrouded mystery, is just a cop whose role is
   to protect the entrenched power structure--which not incidentally
   includes protecting Bruce Wayne's fortune from so-called "criminals"
   who might want to redistribute the wealth. When Catwoman Michelle
   Pfeiffer finds a woman being raped in a dark alley, she dispenses
   with the rapist, then looks contemptuously at the woman and says:
   "What were you waiting for? Batman to come along and rescue you?" Women
   need not appeal to cops and other men in power to rescue them from
   domestic violence and rape; they should seize power for themselves. And
   contrary to the Batman Returns message, power doesn't mean dressing up
   in a cat costume. It means joining a revolutionary party to overthrow
   the imperialist patriarchy.
