“Batman should just take all his billions and put it into socialist reforms instead of punching bad guys” is on the same sub IQ brainlet level as “if Batman really wanted to stop crime he would just kill the criminals”
Batman should just take all his billions and put it into socialist reforms instead of punching bad guys is on the same sub IQ brainlet level as ...
Both true though
That's also what a sub IQ brainlet would believe
There’s a canon alternate timeline where if Bruce became mayor instead of Batman he would’ve eradicated all crime in Gotham peacefully and turned the city into a utopia.
But then Batkek killed him
Also there was a version who did the same by investing his money into civil projects instead of batman satellites.
Allegedly according to Batkek Bruce Prime is the least accomplished of any Bruce in the multiverse, and his Gotham is the worst because he decided to stay Batman instead of doing literally anything else with his time.
How can a mayor eradicate all crime?
if it were Bruce Wayne as mayor of Gotham and he would have had little problem using his personal fortune to do things : Analyze the major demographics of who engages in crime and why. IRL this is normally young black men and it's out of engineered poverty. The poverty is out of multi-generational cultural failings, satisfaction with mediocrity, institutional racism, and mismanaged schools (which are rarely underfunded). The solutions are :
1. rent control.
2. democratically elected and publicly accountable police forces with officers policing only within 15 miles of their residence. All misconduct fees come from the retirement funds, and police unions are abolished. They b***h - they get fired.
3. equal funding between public defenders and prosecutors with no qualified immunity.
4. make all school funding per capita based, with no tax money going to private or charter systems.
5. Mixed use zoning across the entire municipality. No more stroads or single family house sprawl. Frick real estate developers.
6. Ban all foreign real estate investment and ownership, as well as that of shell companies.
7. All homeless shall be compelled to return to their home state, or accept shelter spaces, or designated tent zones, with a cerfew. They shall also be given medical and mental healthcare so they can return to society.
8. No more monopolies or charter/badge systems. If you have a car, you should be able to taxi without a badge. Open a food cart where you want as long as it's clean.
9. Tolerance zones. Strippers, prostitutes, drugs - all under the eye of regulation and police, medics, and taxation.
That would fix 99% of the crime.
prove me wrong.
Wow anon you got this all figured out! How can it be that a random person on Cinemaphile was able to solve all of society's problems and lay it out in such a way that it's easily achievable? There's no way that there would be a million different limitations and people that would fight each point for the sake of their own self interests or differing opinion on how to better Gotham. And the corruption would definitely disappear. And the criminals? They'll go away almost instantly. Supervillains? We'll have the police bring them in on their own and have them tried! And there's no way a public figure making sweeping changes and a ton of enemies would be targeted. Sometimes I wonder what the point is for superheroes having a secret identity.
The goal was to solve crime, not how to solve stupidity irl or how to solve fantasy scenarios.
The problem is that nothing listed would work in real life or in a comic book. So Bruce being mayor makes no sense and would accomplish far less than if he were Batman. Unless it's a Mark Millar book and he just says that it works because that's how he writes his perfect protagonists.
Hire arkham lunatics to kill all the black people
How does that work without an uppity rich boy getting shot by a Falcone thug?
Same way that the irl mafia lost all their power. People started bothering to convict them all, and just shooting one or two thinking you’d scare them back inside would only land you in deeper shit. If Sam DeStefano had to go to court, Falcone’s not scaring anyone.
Another capeshitter tantrum thread.
OP likes his slop extra sloppy.
t. sub IQ brainlet seething at OP's truth
Only moronic people and FA- you kjow ehat, I can do better. Hold on a sec
'ere we go
It's so bizarre how much people believe just throwing money at shit solves things.
>Be Mayor
>Pass Law banning toxic wastedumps like Ace so noone has One Bad Day
>Invest attention and state involvement into Science and Technology and Pharmaceutical programs to hopefully prevent lab accidents like Freeze or Ivy or Clayface
>Immediate early renewal program for Arkham security, or better yet lobby against legal definition of “criminal insanity”
>Organise cooperation between large tech firms like Lex Corp and Wayne tech to allow ample opportunities for intelligent go-getters to rise high in the world instead of playing with puzzles
>tell Superman to kill all the Black folk
There I just turned Gotham into Paradise
Fund a super prison that isn't a total joke and lobby for legislation that covers metahumans and comic brand insanity.
How would buying Bernie Sanders a new house fix anything in Gotham?
