Yes Batman movies are mostly for kids, as was the character originally. Did you want the latest Batman action figure for Christmas this year? Do you wear your Batman costume even when it's not Halloween? Who do you think does that?
Do you think all violence is inherently "right wing"? Do you believe that no left leaning government has ever started a war? Since you seem well versed in "real-world political thought", you must have an explanation for the following conflicts:

Lol! There is no such thing as a "left leaning" government. The USSR - killed and imprisoned more leftists than the US has. The PRC - killed and imprisoned more leftists than the US has.
Your understanding of what "left" and "right" even means is based on the hollow aesthetics fed to you by propagandists, so read this part carefully - when you become institutionalized power, you become the status quo right-wing politics exist to protect. That is what left and right is really all about.
So no... the USSR and PRC's expansionist and imperialist actions was not some "leftist" thing.
