What the frick is his problem?

You can't help the low IQ masses by giving them money, which they will only waste away on frivolities, but at least you can save their measly lives from the local murderous psychopath once and a while.
He doesn’t have to give the low IQ masses any money. He could merely fund a frickton of infrastructure projects and solve most of Gotham’s problems through creating thousands of jobs
he does all of that tho. affordable housing, convict reform programs, pledging public and financial support to reform candidates like Dent and Gordon, and of course Wayne Enterprises is the single biggest employer in the entire tri state area, rivaled only by LexCorp. And it's still not enough. His father did lots of this kind of thing too and he still got killed by enriching diversity. your limp wristed namby pamby liberal bleeding heart methods are ineffective and therefore destructive and cruel. you would subject a whole city to endless misery in order to avoid any personal feelings of moral discomfort.
me in the back
What liberal methods did OP propose, he’s basically saying that Brice should gentrify Gotham
is B rice batman if he was a Chinese rapping gangster
Let's not forget he needs to pay for the Watchtower and all the Justice League stuff and insane tech he uses these days.
Doesn't he do all of this canonically?
They say he’s charitable and helps with social programs and shit (and they’ve introduced the Court of Owls a shadowy cabal of Gotham elites who keep the city down) but they don’t go into too much detail because if they did the entire concept would collapse.
Batman has always been a crazy as the villains he fights. He never wanted to bring crime down, he just wanted to punch villains all day as a mega cope for the death of his parents.
Wrong Batman. Adam West's Gotham City didn't have anything wrong with it besides colorful villains.
This is why the only Cinemaphile approved version is the 41 series where Batman is an fbi agent and beats up Japs for being racially inferior.
1941 has some textbook spyshit. Appear as common as possible to be unnoticeable.
textbook narcissism
He does both. Stop pretending the Nolan movies are legitimate.
Better to punch them then flat out kill them.
The trick is to lose your wife and child first. Stings more than becoming an orphan and gives you that extra push to start using more extreme tactics.
nice panels but they went overboard with the medical mumbo jumbo
Thomas is a surgeon in pretty much all continuities
>AYO SQUEEZE IT
Never seeing Thomas Wayne Batman in live action is such a tragedy.
In Batman’s early history Bruce was just an old money socialite with a modest fortune, not the world’s richest man, which made the fact that he doesn’t fix all of Gotham’s problems through investment more understandable. But they needed to give more money to Bruce to justify how he has all these gadgets and shit. Fundamentally, Batman is a silly concept, which is why Frank Miller’s reimagining of Batman as this flawed libertarian ideological warrior who distrusts government interesting. But people live vicariously through Batman so they can’t make him a morally grey flawed character who is sort of in the wrong who perpetuates criminality rather than ends it
>a morally grey flawed character who is sort of in the wrong who perpetuates criminality rather than ends it
So just like government?
>I must become a creature of the night. Black. Terrible.
Uhh Batbros are we racist?
How much was Bruce lifting there?
Gotham City is a fictional location that's just as fantastical as Hogwarts. Even if you took away all the supervillains (most of which would have existed independently of Batman's existence), Gotham is basically ran by various different organized crime syndicates who will frick over any attempt at trying to improve the city and weed out corruption. Take the depiction of Organized crime in the Nolan films and realize that gangsters in Batman's canonical mythos are even worse, especially with mob bosses like Penguin and Black mask.
I always thought of Gotham as basically 60's New York but with super villians
Gotham City's history is a layer cake of curses and cults on top of also being located in New Jersey and that's why its unfixable by normal means.
It's also cosmically cursed to be evil always.
I'm so tired of this meme. Crime is bad and criminals are bad. People who fight criminals are heroes.
People who waste billions of dollars on community development are villains.
Keep in mind that these are the same people who think that Kyle Rittenhouse is a monster for shooting people who were actively trying to murder him.
Which is funny, because they have no problem with criminals who shoot others for no reason. So the only reason they were mad at KR was because he *wasn't* breaking the law.
That has nothing to do with it, they hate KR because he’s white. That’s it. If he was black or even Hispanic nobody would have said shit and he wouldn’t have even been charged at all.
This. Lawyer in a southamerican country here. Most criminals don't want to work, plain and simple. They choose crime as a career path and that's it.
Many do it because of lack of better options, yes. But there is a number of sociopath/antisocials pieces of shit that actually want to be criminals.
It's the male version of being a prostitute, more or less.
People just don't want to believe that other people can be total pieces of shit that choose to do wrong. It's easier for them to believe that they're victims of something.
You live in a south american country and don't understand why your women become prostitutes?
Ill give you a hint and it's not because they love fricking tourists for money.
I understand perfectly. It is not a country THAT poor, southern cone. It's a proper analogy. Yes, many woman become prostitutes because it's the only way out of poverty (real poverty). But many, if not most, because it's easier than actual work, not because of lack of better options. There would be no first world women who get into the business. There are girls who could work a normal job but choose prostitution. The same for criminals. It's easier to just rob than getting early everyday and be on schedule.
So, investing social programs can do so much. Not saying that they shouldn't exist, bear in mind.
tourist here, i was supposed to pay them?
>in the 60's people saw superhero comics for the campy juvenile garbage it is

40s comics were pretty dark, the silver age was when acid became a substitute for breakfast to a lot of people
op why do you start screaming
>gimme!
whenever you encounter someone more affluent than you?
I didn’t even propose he donate to charity, all these things would be financially beneficial to him?
can't wait for zoomer contrarians to start praising this batman as the best one
Frick boomers and their hippie nonBatman Adam West silly billy
I'm 31, and it's legitimately my favorite version of Batman. However, I watched this with my dad every summer on tvland growing up. I still love this show, and think the only people who can't have a stick up their ass. I got the blu ray box set when it released a few years back.
Camp Batman is gay friendly Batman.
>batman as the best one
That would be DKR
The recast of Batman's love interest killed it for me. And I'll never forgive the nerfing they did to Scarecrow.
Batman Begins was great but it hasn't aged well. TDK has undertones of justifying the surveillance state and upholding the noble lie and this makes it interesting years later (but the other stuff has aged just like BB).
I've been praising it as the best one for some 30 years by now. Since the boring emo burton films came out.
>adam west batman
Kino.
He is the best one. Cope.
He has to fight more wealthy blacks than poor whites in order to fight crime.
Systemic policies cannot address this moral issue like HIS FISTS.
He didn't want to be a philanthropist, he wanted to go around in a Bat-Helicopter whooping every costumed weirdo he could find. He wasn't aiming to improve the economy, he was just taking out the trash. He was Basedman
Those “poor people” are literal criminals why do Bruce Wayne critics always neglect this part it doesn’t matter that they’re poor or mentally committing crimes is still wrong that the point.
Communists have no honor
>I understand that these people are only committing petty crimes out of desperation
>Mutilate them anyways and break every bone in their body, financially ruining them (I have a no kill rule)
>out of desperation
The Japanese during earthquakes and nuclear bomb recovery and nuclear fission catastrophe never resorted to ape out or antisocial behavior. This is all very documented, Dr Detroit.
>antisocial behavior
homie that society is built on such behavior, they're the perviest nation in existence
I realize you get your facts from comics instead of crime stats and economic metrics. Well...another thread when this topic comes up I will have the nerd folder ready to go and school Anons again.
Show me one criminal Batman beat up that was doing crime out of desperation and wasn't given a sympathetic portrayal.
Just to make my point right up front, they're generally portrayed as hardened criminals, not desperate people, and if anything they wouldn't be "poor", but average, relative to the reader.
I've lived out of my car for months before, pretty desperate situation, but never committed any crimes (I'm white). Batman understands this.
Words work well enough a lot of the time
a bit harsh
Works on my machine
>The Joker only released his toxin into the water supply because he was financially disadvantaged! You have to empathise with him!
That’s true actually
>People getting moronicly selective in their suspension of disbelief.
Thinking everything should directly translate across as a message or have a point rather than being contrived to create action or adventure is modern nitpicking brainrot.
He's done all that stuff though and backed multiple political and mayoral candidates in the comics. That part usually doesn't end well, over like a dozen Gotham mayors have been assassinated.
>Didn't actually watch the show.
I havent watched batkino in a long time. What should I watch?
Batman Forever is maybe more fun than you remember.
good batrec. bat-thanks.
Didn't realize how girly his body type was
Why do you privileged fricks assume every poor person is a criminal?
No the ones doing robberies are very wealthy and they’re just robbing convenience stores for an adrenaline rush, they don’t need the cash
>they’re just robbing convenience stores for an adrenaline rush
It's for drugs.
No one thinks that. Stop acting stupid.
You try getting approved for one of these
May I ask, how would a forever card work? Any month/year is accepted for purchases using the numbers?
So he's actually helping the community then?
I've enjoyed almost every Batkino. I'm somewhat of a Bat-head.
Batman is wealthy? How do you know that?
>subsidise low income housing
You're an idiot.
"I want to live in a cheap home!"
"I don't want to have to pay as much money for the home I live in!"
"I want to stop working my job!"
"Other people should give me more than I deserve!"
"I don't want to be responsible for my circumstances, decisions or actions!"
"I want to stop improving myself in any way to earn more at any job because I no longer have to pay as much for the house I'm renting/living in! More than that, I want SOMEONE ELSE to be responsible for my hardships!!"
You're a loser.
Why do that when you can fix every criminal you come across with brain surgery and then give them training so that they become productive, upstanding citizens?
Batman is a philosopher king like Marcus Aurelius. What you're talking about is commie gobbledyasiatic from A Clockwork Orange.
Ironically Doc Savage eventually fought commies himself.
>Batman is a philosopher king like Marcus Aurelius.
Doc Savage was that before Batman.
>he dresses like this
>what could be his problem
His father did all that.
He was murdered by them.
masterful bait so I'll reply. Frick commies.
That's a fair take on the Nolan movies but traditional Batman is just a superhero and 80s onward Batman lives in a cesspool of crime (Wayne Enterprises does invest in charities though, even in the Nolan trilogy). Go watch Joker, if has the character interpretation you seem to be into.
it's like every iteration of batman gets worse. Even more grumpy and violent and moronic despite being a billionaire. I hope they find another capeshit hero to milk
Anons, do we need yet another Batman n-logy?
What do (You) expect from a new reboot?
Batman cinematic universe. Villians have their own individual movies with or without Batman (who is the only well-known superhero...Nightwing or iterations of Azrael, no justice league bullshit). With DC less is more (no MCU crap).
For this to work maybe the economy should go down the shitter, but then who would be paying the tickets to watch the movies?
You don't need a blockbuster budget. Tie up reasorces maybe but still profitable and not as big of a risk as MCV flops.
I mean that for a vigilant to be needed by the masses, hopelessness should be higher. Do we want to live in such world? (inb4 you better believe in economic depression).
>rather than do a bunch of lefty meme shit that doesn't actually do anything
>Using your fortune, skills, connections and genius level intellect to punch crackheads in the face and change nothing
A real life Bruce Wayne would strive for the position of CIA director or a Kissinger type role at the least. There is no reason why Bruce Wayne couldn't strive to become the Pope or President
>t.upper middle class whiteboi Timmy that never faced adversity
You don't think desperation causes people to turn to crime?
What kind of crime?
No, people "turn" to crime in first world countries because they're greedy, lazy, and stupid. homies don't be stealin' apples cause I got muhfuggin keeds to feed, man; they steel shoes and iphones because they don't make enough in unemployment to buy it themselves.
Imagine a batman where he uses his money to do all the leftist shit *because* it creates shitholes so he can treat gotham like his villain theme park
> Under the Red Pill
Why does he only beat up poor Black folk instead of rightfully hanging corrupt israelites?
This. Batman is shocked in the 2021 movie that corruption even exists. He is like an idiot savant that uses his genius to chase after morons on food stamps
>subsidise low income housing
This doesn't work, all it does is mix the trash people in with the good people and negatively effect them.
A better option is tired cities like what the chinks do that allows the hard working decent poor people to climb the ladder while the forever-trash people are kept contained in their trashy areas.
The same thing should apply to schooling, their should be special schools for trash kids to keep them away from good kids.
Unfortunately you can't do this in America because 99% of the BIPOC kids would be in the trash schools and that would be Proof of Racism rather than proof that BIPOCs are violent and dumb.
>rather than subsidise low income housing, urban renewal projects, and reformist mayoral campaigns
subsidizing low income housing doesn't stop the crackhead who lives there from murdering someone in the process of robbing them to pay for crack.
Your brain on Reddit. If you throw money at morons they'll sped it moronly. I think "antiwork" neets assume the rest of the poors have the same mentality they do, or just want more gibs and don't care the consequences cause they never leave their house anyway.
he's the hero we need not the hero we deserve
Batman believed in law and order. Poor people are usually criminals. Frick off with your liberal progressive views.
So, in Batman Begins, The Narrows are "lost", LOL. It's glossed over, almost an afterthought, in a very creepy way. Why is Hollywood like this?
>Uses his stupendous wealth to mutilate poor people and delegitimise governmental agencies
BASED
Doesn't apply to Adam West. His Batman is deputized by Gotham city.
It's proven to not work because Black folk are addicted to crime and violence
>subsidise low income housing, urban renewal projects, and reformist mayoral campaigns
But how would any of that stop Mr.Freeze and the penguin, let alone the joker.
Sure that would stop normal villians but what about the superones.
