The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or non-heteronormative narratives. It adheres to the standard superhero tropes of the late 1990s.

The narrative centers on masculine power dynamics between Batman and Superman. While female characters like Lois Lane exist in the mythos, the plot drivers remain male-dominated.

Characters follow the conventional visual language of the era. Superman’s alien heritage serves as a science-fiction trope rather than a nuanced exploration of racial identity.

The story operates within a framework of traditional Western heroism. It reinforces the superhero as a stabilizing force for societal institutions rather than critiquing them.

There is no prominent depiction of visible or invisible disabilities. Characters are defined by peak physical capability, treating vulnerability only as a temporary plot obstacle.
