The Batman (2022)

I would love to hear a good argument for why we need a new feature film about Batman in 2022. Of course, we don't actually. This franchise is a money printing machine though, so here we go again. I have watched the trailer for The Batman (2022) a few times now. It looks like it will score poorly for women’s voice. No two women speak in the trailer, which is never a good sign. Voice is one of the dozens of things I address in my upcoming film guide for women. It also looks like Zoë Kravitz will be hypersexualized and sporting whore couture throughout—another sign that this movie will have little to offer female viewers. Moreover, the trailer is full of angry, vengeful men and ultraviolence, which are hardly things we need more of at this point.
 
It looks like this will be one of the unhealthiest movies of the year. In 2022 we need hope, joy and the strength to make the world a better place. For my part, I’m hoping for many more movies like Little Women (2019), The Help (2011), Made in Dagenham (2010) and Suffragette (2015), which are all feature films that have much to offer female viewers. In 2022 may your movie picks show regard for women and girls by being full of things to offer female viewers! Happy New Year!
