To be fair, if we use the purist definition of left-vs-right as applied to culture war tactics, destroying tradition and destabilizing society in constant revolution vs. upholding order, preserving the status quo, and basically NOT doing those destructive things they embrace as leftists, then they're absolutely right.
But that runs contrary to the fact that they use "right-wing" as an insult, so it's of course meaningless as a definition. It's like listing off all the positive traits of culture and calling them examples of White Supremacy - then trying to say white supremacy is a bad thing. Or comparing Jordan Peterson to Red Skull.
Either way they make themselves look terrible. The average person would see their movie list and say "wow I love the right-wing now!".
They're setting up a false dichotomy. They're using it to mean "conservative" and assigning arbitrary traits to a person or thing to put it on a fictional spectrum. To them anything right of Stalin is right-wing.
Obviously Batman is not a right-wing or conservative property - it's just a movie.
(I consider the left-right paradigm to be pretty stupid, but if you follow a leftist's ideology then you can only be one or the other. There is no "center".)

I believe you're setting up a false dichotomy there.
Not setting off a left wing revolution isn't quite the same as actively maintaining a right wing power balance. It is possible to be neither.
