>So do they get paid for being a super hero?
No. I mean, some hack writers probably allude to that, but most of them have jobs for a reason beyond merely blending in.
But where do they have the time to work a full time (or hell even part time) job, train to keep their strength/skills up, actual work stopping super villains and all of the Justice League jobs and still have free time?
I dunno, man. For one thing, it could have to do with the fact that we're talking about a fantasy genre here. Secondly, it may be that they don't waste months of their lives posting on Cinemaphile when they could be doing more productive things.
It's not fun to go >"where's the time in their schedule to do a job??? i NEED the time slots!!!!!"
frickin autistic to the same degree as that moron who invented some hunchback to fix the batmobile in the 80s rather than just leaving it up to the idea that either bruce, dick, or alfred maintained the mobile off-panel.

Yeah, you totally aren't playing the finite game, buddy.
What we need is a superhero who’s a wagie in his secret identity, and goes around beating up on bad guys as a way to decompress from his shitty day job.
Unless stated otherwise they're doing evertthing voluntarily. I assume the GLC would pay their corpsmen in some manner at least.
Now let me hijack the thread for a similarly silly question: is vigilantism not a crime in the DCU? Because Ollie does little, if anything at all, to hide the fact that he's Green Arrow, and yet no one ever prosecutes him about it. Even the police reluctantly tolerates him
The only time I've ever seen "vigilantesm is a crime" is early on in Batman's career. So I'm guessing countries made it legal or at least a misdemeanor like jaywalking or littering when they realized that these superheroes do their jobs a million times better compared to their emergency services and militaries.
In Aztek the Ultimate Man there is a form you can fill out and some edgy 90s superheroes openly talk about looking for government contracts in wetwork and counter-insurgency. In fact I think there's enough material to conclude that the US government not only participates in costumed vigilantism but encourages it.

They aren't paid, they do get to live on Oa.
GLC don't get paid but the ring can actually take care of all physical needs.
>is vigilantism not a crime in the DCU?
It is. It's just only a law enforced on newcomer superheroes before the city realizes that they're fricked without their superhero.
Like, Batman, for instance. As

says, he usually only gets hunted by the cops earlier on. Sure, there are stories where some new mayor or commissioner or whatever sics the cops on him, but that's not really the status quo. Sometimes Batman's even deputized by the Gotham police.
Then there's heroes like Superman where the police don't really have a say in what he does lol
frick those SJWs crying about "representation." b***h you know anime breasts sell and that's all that matters. if some tumblrina twat wants a show about a one-legged genderqueer muslim or some shit they can make their own damn show. studios know what the viewers want and it sure as hell ain't that.
that's because we live in america where we recognize that having the government pay all the heroes means that they work for the government instead of the people.
you wanna see that homosexual "we work for the government" shit, read marvel comics instead.
Some superheroes like Booster Gold are branded where they capitalize on being superheroes through licensing deals but they are other who work for a company as security.
You'd think with all the billionaires, old money and actual royalty in the JL, they'd give the poorer members some kind of stipend so they don't end up homeless or starving.
Imagining a less popular hero getting a really shitty deal is pretty funny, but doesn't really seem all that fitting for DC.
Imagine trying to negotiate a contract as the fourth Green Lantern, woof.

Counterpoint: Booster Gold.

99% of all superheroes come from an era where you could easily afford a suburban home and a family of four on minimum wage and decent hours
No, most of them are extra-judicial vigilantes, they receive no compensation.
refer to
There are several billionaires in this groupshot, I think they've got it covered.
Teams are usually funded in some way. Individual superheroes are either rich or have some way to make money on the side.

They don't. Hal is portrayed as chronically poor.
That's just because Hal is bad at finances.

shekels > feels, every damn time.
In MHA they get paid, in OPM too. DC haven't really called up yet.
that's because we live in america where we recognize that having the government pay all the heroes means that they work for the government instead of the people.
you wanna see that homosexual "we work for the government" shit, read marvel comics instead.
Infinity Inc used to get paid for superheroing.
Poorly might I add, Obsidian and Jade joked a couple times about being tired of eating peanut butter and pizza even though they shared an apartment.
Some superheroes like Booster Gold are branded where they capitalize on being superheroes through licensing deals but they are other who work for a company as security.
Why do they need to get paid? Most of them already won the lottery being born or being raised in the USA.
You'd think with all the billionaires, old money and actual royalty in the JL, they'd give the poorer members some kind of stipend so they don't end up homeless or starving.
Well if you're on the justice league you should get a good licensing deal.
