My biggest question is, why do they have to be nazis? They literally could’ve just been evil and not be nazis. Like, the Joker for example. He’s basically one of the most evil people on earth, but even he hates nazis.

I don’t think this is the actual point. Nazis can be used as villains (they did it on Legends too), it’s making your heroes Nazis on another Earth that is … really wrong.

Legends/DCTV has a lot of problematic shit, but this is actually not something I'd consider part of it. Until recently it probably would have just seemed insensitive but in the current political climate? They're making a statement, and I'm here for it.

People are upset by the idea that heroes in one world can be nazis in another - and yeah that SHOULD be upsetting. Nazis are human. That's the problem. They're not aliens or monsters or demons. They're people. I think it's a really strong statement on choosing what kind of person you want to be in this world, on how we indoctrinate the next generation. No one wants to think that they or their loved ones could ever under any circumstances have been a Nazi, but it's not a gene you can flip on or off. Nazis aren't all sociopaths - they're normal people, and that's the scariest part.
