Devotion. Comparatively, he has praised films such as Night of the Living Dead and Hi, Mom! for their depictions of racism, White has cited Cyborg in Zack Snyder's Justice League as a positive example of a black superhero, and Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as a poor one. White is generally critical of superhero movies, giving negative reviews to The Dark Knight, Wonder Woman, Avengers: Endgame, and The Batman, while describing Marvel Cinematic Universe films as "formulaic". However, he has offered praise to Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Watchmen, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Zack Snyder's Justice League; writing that Zack Snyder "rescued comic-book movies from nihilism and juvenilia, making modern myths worthy of adult spirituality and politics".
