I did notice (and thank Reeves for this) the characters who are not shown as blatantly and openly corrupt are the black characters (Gordon, Selina Kyle, and Bella Real). I don't count Alfred, though.

Yet, another point the YouTubers all missed in their zeal to rave about the use of color, sound editing , and film ratios!
Not a one of them acknowledged that the Riddlers followers were there at the Stadium to do one thing, kill this Black woman (Bella Real) and shoot a bunch of innocent, unarmed civilians, and children (including the little boy we saw at the beginning of the movie who was orphaned by Riddler.) That's what I mean when I say they notice nothing, and have insight about nothing, outside of their white male power fantasies. They noticed the characters they wanted to like weren't white and that's about it.
