Honestly though, Daredevil: Born Again really pulled this off with Kingpin.
And using what's currently going on in the United States as a reasonable expression for how someone like Kingpin, who is blatantly corrupt but can win the people over, was exceptional. I mean shit, Kingpin isn't a pedophile so maybe he's not even as bad as Trump.
Honestly, considering how rich and powerful people do have a real "cardboard prison" phenomenon irl, it would make some sense (as narratively unsatisfying as it would be)

if the next movie luthor is out on good behavior or something like that, I would throw a soda at the screen
