Wasn't very batman-ish for sure. Different take on the whole thing really. Does being Bruce Wayne and parents up, but not in some big production effort.
Worth watching, but don't expect a batman style for sure

Maybe I am woke. I never understood what exactly that means.

I am pretty much not woke. I realize there are social injustices, but let's be practical. I am not PC at all, which is probably not very woke either.

Liken it to something like Taxi Driver or Clockwork Orange

No heroes as protagonist. There is no hero's journey. Only the de-evolution into a person's fall. If you can look past the "the government should be doing more for people with mental disorders" narrative that's not exactly hidden, it's a good movie.
I was entertained.
Of course, I was also on an LAX to ATL flight, so I was a captive audience with limited choices

It's basically Taxi Driver and King of Comedy mixed together

it had no business being as successful as it was, but I loved the cinematography and Phoenix's performance.
It was a bit of a stretch to try and tie it into the Batman Universe, but then again, it was a brilliant businesses decision as it resulted in the movie making billions of dollars.

Shouldn’t the government be doing more for people with mental illness? Link instead of just printing money for people that are bad at saving and didn’t make good decisions in life.

I don't think being bad at saving is the problem for most of America that doesn't have savings. The cost of living in much of America doesn't coincide with wages. People just don't make enough.

"People just dont make enough." to purchase the things they want and purchase anyway. One bad car buying decision or one bad house purchase can spiral people for a decade
