    While the new film’s familiar title might conjure images of a certain caped crusader, executive producer Michael Roesch pointed out that “our movie is very different from Chris Nolan’s movie, so there is no danger of confusion.”

    Well I’m still pretty confused. So it’s not a Batman movie, but it’s about a crime-fighting vigilante called The Dark Knight. Great, no confusion at all. Nolan didn’t come up with that moniker, Batman has always been known as the Dark Knight. This seems like a classic bait and switch to get people to watch a movie they would otherwise avoid.

        Human brains are wired to never be satisfied…

        So when people can get anything they want without any work, they start wanting crazier and crazier shit they need to work for. Just to get the same dopamine rush an average guy would have bringing a 7/10 home from the bar for a vanilla hookup.

        Is it fucking horrible and we should shun people like this?

        Abso-fucking-lutely.

        But we also need to understand why wealthy and powerful people keep acting like this so we can stop them from doing it.

        In this case it’s not letting generational wealth accrue like this. Our current economic system produces these monsters and they have the wealth and power to avoid consequences
