“It’s an acquired taste” is snob code for “it really sucks but if you don’t pretend to like it I will treat you as if you’re beneath me.”

Not sure if I agree that it's just snob code, though I acknowledge that it most certainly can be. However, sometimes an acquired really is an acquired taste. There are plenty of times throughout my life where I had been told that something was an acquired taste and it was precisely just that. 🤷‍♂️
 

This is why I believe that Batman is stuck in "arrested development" as a petulant manchild in the minds of many people. Batman is constantly rebooted before Batman gets his sidekick Robin. Robin (and the subsequent "Bat Family") is essential for Bruce Wayne's character development. Batman needs Robin. Batman is a better person and character with Robin. But because some people view Robin or sidekicks as "silly," Batman can't progress beyond being a brooding manchild in a cowl.

Lego Batman is the greatest Batman movie, because it gets it.
