As a kid, I loved ‘Batman: The Dark Knight Returns’ from its hyper-violent nonsense to its vaguely homophobic nonsense to its grimdark bloody action sequences. As an adult, I have revised my opinion somewhat, but it’s still better than the explosion of tropes and India ink that is ‘DK2’, so when DC announced ‘Dark Knight III’, I wasn’t thrilled. Then, I found out that it was going to be subtitled “The Master Race” and I knew I wouldn’t touch that book with a ten-foot pole, leading to today’s “CAN’T ARMOR MY HEAD GRAAR!” query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) actually saw and mostly enjoyed ‘Ready Player One’ the movie, which took away one of my easiest answers, asking: What pop culture would you never touch with the metaphorical ten-foot pole?

!: Any film with Dean Devlin and/or Roland Emmerich attached. So many fun-sounding premises ruined by dumb & derivative storytelling choices.
2: “Matrix:” anything. The first was a slog for me in ways that no sequel would fix.
3: Joel Schumacher Batman films. When the only good thing I had to say about Batman Returns was that it made me fully appreciate Batman, I resolved not to watch any film that would make me appreciate Batman Returns.
Any of those Image “Deathkill Bloodscar” things they did in 90’s.
