Blue Beetle’s Raoul Max Trujillo says he understands where co-star George Lopez came from with his “fascist Batman” joke that stirred controversy among the DC Universe faithful.In an interview with Screen Rant, Trujillo, who plays the villainous Conrad Carapax/Indestructible Man in Blue Beetle, believes Lopez’s character, Rudy Reyes, was “writing off Batman” with the line. Trujillo suggests the Batman joke was done more to prop up Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle while pointing out the Dark Knight’s elite connections.”What did you think he meant when he said Batman’s a fascist? Because that line to me, as I heard it, I was like, ‘What is he referring to exactly?’ I wasn’t quite sure of it, but I think if anything else he was just writing him off,” he said. “I think it was kind of, to me, it was a hidden message. Basically, f–k Batman, Blue Beetle! … Because he comes from the elite. The elite will always protect the elite. In that regard, I guess I could see it. But either way, it’s just a very funny line.”RELATED: Blue Beetle Poster Hides a Sneaky Batman Reference in Plain Sight
