>If I actually wanted to stop crime I would solve poverty
This is an actual line from Batman (after touching Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth) in the movie, THE FLASH.
Between this and Matt Reeves saying Batman doesn’t donate to charity or programs, why does DC Comics hate Batman?
Why does DC Comics imply Batman doesn’t donate money to charities and Gotham programs despite there being media where he does?
You don’t see Disney or Sony mistreating their characters this badly?

rich man bad
He's gone. Who cares, let this universe die already.
The universe is dead and has been for years but surprise surprise your movies are still fricking shit
Are you this moronic to think this shit ends with Battfleck? It just got started with The Batman, & people liked that dour wet shit
Batman has 100 billion liquid dollars in the comics which he amounts by mass illegal tax evasion.
The most “charity work” he’s ever done in the comics is hiring a single small time crook roastie to be a titty receptionist at his Waynetech hotel. The Catwoman and Detective Comics series shows that poverty and homelessness is extreme and rampant throughout all of Gotham.
If he wanted to fix Gotham’s poverty he legit could at any time, he just doesn’t.
>illegal tax evasion.
moron
Literally what he did. In fact corporate Tax Dodging via stocks costs poorer countries over 100 billion per year, meaning Bruce condemns a bunch of niglets in zimbabwe to starve everytime he splurges on new rims for his batmobile.
Different anon here. I think he means you're dumb for thinking the tax evasion is illegal. It's perfectly legal, but so was slavery. Something can be perfectly legal and unjust, just as something absolutely righteous and selfless can be illegal, like helping slaves escape.
>If Reed Richards wanted to cure cancer he legit could at any time, he just doesn’t.
Stop pretending that you actually read comics. We both know you don't.
Reed could. He has literally said he could, he’s said it to Peter Parker and he’s said it to Sue. The Wakandans have also said they have a cure for cancer they just don’t share with America because they think they aren’t “worthy”.
Just like Batman, they just don’t because they’d rather play dressup.
>he’s said it to Peter Parker and he’s said it to Sue.
Which issue is that? Is it the same issue where he also says "Cancer isn't one thing, you moron, it's like 2000 different diseases with different causes and treatments."
You just outed yourself as a casual by earnestly answering the meme question comic book nerds have been asking rhetorically for 50 years. Your opinion is worthless on this subject. Be silent.
>w-well you’re a casual f-for knowing more about comics than me, a-and actually knowing what you’re talking about unlike me!
Holy Cope, Lmao
Everyone in Marvel has a cure for cancer, even brainlets like Green Goblin have made one, and it cures all types of cancer in a guy who had every form of cancer. They just don’t share it because they’re all narcissists who would rather punch eachother in powerranger costumes than meaningfully help the worldin the ways thhey have readily available at any time.
Just like Batman.
>I only read out-of-context pages but I'll pretend that means I actually read comics
kek
None of it was out of context, coping cuck.
Wakanda canonically have a cure to cancer, they just don’t share it. So does Reed. So does Norman Osborn. So does Mr Quiet. So do many other characters.
And the context is that none of them share it cause they don’t care enough to.
>So does Reed
Whats his reason to not share it ?
Doom told him to do it and now if he does Doom wins.
Who do you believe more:
1) Reed Richards, a man who has dedicated his life towards improving Humanity with Science, giving a nuanced answer
2) A scheming bureaucrat
I have no doubt Wakanda thinks they have "a" cure for cancer, or whatever cancer is most common in a country built on top of a magic space rock, but I believe Reed to give us, the reader, the straight dick on the subject.
Reed hasn’t said anything about any good reason not to share his cures for illness. He just doesn’t because he doesn’t want to. The only reason he’s ever tried to bullshit for not sharing his stuff was for not sharing his unstable molecule tech, and that’s that it would “upset important industries”.
Like yeah Reed I’m sure you providing unbreakable miracle polymers to the world will cause disasters in the polyester chinese child sweatshop industry you hack.
>Asks about the reed moment
>Gives the Wakanda page and acts like he's right
Lmao, you're a moron, this page is moronic and comic writers are almost all moronic
Now now, be fair.
On that page they say "we can't share the cure for cancer. The Americans would weaponize it."
Years later in Thunderbolts, Norman Osborn showed off a weapon in his arsenal.
It was a cure for cancer.
That he had weaponized.
You don't read comics, sorry. Try reading Beatty's Gotham Knights, and Aftershock for stories showing how Bruce helps the homeless. Also, Bruce is poor in the comics (which you don't read)
If you think fixing poverty is as simple as gibs, then you got some growing up to do.
Bruce invented perpetual energy since the 80s and has since been wasting an equivalent cities’ worth of power to punch Superman when he could be using it to supply power to Gotham and save people from energy bills. He caused a city-wide blackout just powering his supersuit in DKR for absolutely no reason other than Superman made him feel emasculated by being immortal.
Bruce has no excuse.
>If you think fixing poverty is as simple as gibs, then you got some growing up to do.
The same for people who think crime is all because of poverty. Especially the type of crime superheroes deal with.
Leftists still refuse to acknowledge the fact that most criminals become criminals because it's easy or they want immediate satisfaction. Poverty often has little to do with it
>illegal tax evasion
The guy with a bunch of money does crime, to solve crime, which he can eradicate by giving away a bunch of money?
After the last 60 years of DC movies it's pretty clear DC hates ALL their characters
/thread
except nolan and adam west's batman
especially adam west's batman
>except for all these people who completely abandoned the source material and just made their own thing
neither of those do that, anon
>Nolan and Burton's Batmans are just like the source material
Are you baiting or just that moronic?
nobody is "just like" the source material you sperg
but west is based on golden era batman, that's a fricking fact
as for nolan, his batman had almost all the basic boxes ticked
hell nolan's joker was literally perfect down to the puns in his dialogue and his actions
people just get pissy because of the design of his makeup and ledger getting so much praise
Nolan's trilogy is filled to the brim with comic inspiration. Killing Joke, No Man's Land, The Dark Knight Returns, The Long Halloween, and even that episode of BTAS where the Scarecrow poisons the city's water supply under Arkham.
thank you anon
This is why I hope Disney buys out DC Comics after WBD goes bankrupt. Maybe then Batman can get the respect he deserves.
this but unironically. Marvel and Disney would make an unapologetic campy Superman/Batman D+ and eat the loss if it flops. it's about owning their own version, not propping up what a fat basement dweller thinks is the bestest best Batman forever.
Disney is having financial problems of their own, they're not in any position to buy another studio
This. Disney is two days away from another megaflop. And just like last year with Black Adam and Strange Works people will be too focused on Flash to call them out on it
Disney is in more deep shit than WBD with the hulufiasco
Eat a shotgun subhuman, both companies disrespect the characters they own
>hates Batman
>Flash movie is nothing but a slew of Batman cameos
If you think that's what hate looks like, I really wonder what you think DC Comics thinks about Green Lantern, Captain Marvel and Cyborg.
I'd say they at least seem to like Darkseid considering how full of despair it has become, but even he gets bodied to hype up the new villain.
lol only lefty cucks would say that
meanwhile black or female characters always get presented as perfect mary sues
Batman needs an break, been none stop for awhile of Batman shit.
Some homies keep saying donating to charity won’t stop The Joker from cannibalising newborns but if Batman fixed poverty in Gotham then maybe Joker wouldn’t think Society is so shit it requires he be a murderclown.
>Some homies keep saying donating to charity won’t stop The Joker from cannibalising newborns but if Batman fixed poverty in Gotham then maybe Joker wouldn’t think Society is so shit it requires he be a murderclown.
That's the kind of thing someone on twitter who doesn't know a thing about the Joker would say, well-done impression there
The Joker would specifically bomb all the charities just to cause more mayhem.
>Bruce Wayne doing time at the soup kitchen and building shelters is all that it would take to stop the Joker
I don't think so, Tim.
None of Batman's villains are affected by poverty.
>Penguin, the Court of Owls, and the League of Assassins are the rich elite
>Mr. Freeze wants to avenge his wife
>Poison Ivy just hates people in general due to being a plantfricker
>Killer Croc is evil because he was misjudged as a child
>Clayface is evil because of him being thrown out of his star role
>Two Face is evil because he got scarred and wants revenge
>Scarecrow just wants to scare the shit out of people
>Bane grew up in a third world shithole prison and the only reason he's bothering with Batman is because he reminds him of a bat he saw in his nightmares
You can't solve poverty because that would mean everyone is the same, which is communism and has the exact opposite effect
Because Twitter hates Batman. Twitter hates Batman because he is a “rich white man” that “beats up the poor and mentally ill instead of donating money to programs to end crime permanently”.
Warner Bros and DC Comics are run by morons that love Twitter users and pander to them. So if Twitter hates Batman for beating up innocent people and not donating to charity, then WB and DC agree.
WB and DC Comics are also willing to self-deprecate” their characters. They have been this way since people criticized the Snyder films so they had stuff like Teen Titans Go and Harley Quinn and etc making fun of themselves. Which to a certain extent, can be fun or interesting. But modern WB and DC have taken it a bit too far sometimes. Like implying that Superman has a poop fetish or calling Batman a fascist, which sometimes hurts the characters brand and image. WB and DC think it is okay and that fans will remain loyal no matter what and don’t see the damage they are doing (which isn’t surprising since these are the same people that approved Batman and Superman killing before).
TLDR WB and DC are dumb.
>Because Twitter hates Batman. Twitter hates Batman because he is a “rich white man” that “beats up the poor and mentally ill instead of donating money to programs to end crime permanently”.
I remember all the times the commies at Screen Junkies said that Batman ''just beats up poor people'' in their Honest Trailers.......................typical wokies.
>implying that Superman has a poop fetish
Did you even watch that scene? It was clearly framed to the viewer that Peacemaker had no idea what he was talking about and not to be taken seriously.
>calling Batman a fascist
I do not know which specific instance you are referring, but Frank Miller had erratic people call him that in the 80s, but you aren't supposed to agree with them.
Flash implies that everything Peacemaker says is true. From Superman having a scar fetish to Aquaman having sex with Dolphins.
Are you talking about the ending of Peacemaker? Anon, that was bantz. Barry was razzing on Arthur, not implying anything. If you honestly could not discern that than you may have autism.
>I do not know which specific instance you are referring
Blue Beetle trailer
They'll damage control by claiming this only applies to Snyderverse Batman and that other Batmen actually put effort into stopping poverty, pissing off the Snyder fans
He doesn’t. He spends billions and trillions and gazillions building giant space stations and perpetual energy sources but the most he’s ever done to “fight poverty” is doing prop fundraisers
Nice try NPC, but your opinion doesn't count because you don't even watch movies or TV shows or read comics
I’ve read more comics than you and I can name every time Batman has ever even mentioned the word “charity” in any canon, whether it’s hiring 10 of Black Masks’ random mooks with a microsoft presentation or Harper Row stealing muffins in her purse at his gala.
And lemme tell you, if I added it all up it wouldn’t total one one billionth of how much he spends on stupid bullshit for his car and supersuits. Zoomer israelitetubers do more for charity than Bruce has.
>a lot of word salad to create a pretend backstory for a contrarian
kek
>spends on stupid bullshit for his car and supersuits
That isn't stupid when he needs them to fight aliens and giant robots to protect the world. Income inequality doesn't matter much when the Earth is faced with annihilation every other Tuesday.
Not that anon but now I'm curious how many student loans a single batmobile tire can fund.
You zoomie queers already got Punisher shelved, can you just go away and leave Batman alone?
You're right, if Batman does nothing to stop Darkseid from destroying the world poverty is permanently ended.
idk but they must hate him
why else cast affleck and then pattington
>why do the people who constantly shill batman hate batman
Because they're getting sick of him. Like the rest of us are.
>You don’t see Disney or Sony mistreating their characters this badly?
Oh. You're just trolling.
Got it.
To be fair, that line was written by Christina Hodson (who also wrote Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). You can’t expect quality from her.
And now she is being considered by James Gunn to write Batman Brave and the Bold with Andy Muschietti directing again.
Lemme get this straight.
Bruce builds a giant frickass battle fortress in space complete with teleporters, perpetual energy sources and a satellite with technology that can give everyone on earth OMAC powers and immortality and invincibility to illness so long as they agree to being mindcontrolled by Batman —
but he can’t be bothered to build an apartment complex for the po’ homies or provide power to Gotham?
Nah Bruce be full of shiiieeet
>You don’t see Disney or Sony mistreating their characters this badly?
Sony made an entire movie dedicated to hating Peter Parker.
Marvel? I don’t even know where to start.
>Sony made an entire movie dedicated to hating Peter Parker.
No they didn't? They argued the opposite that Spider-Man is too important of a figure to give up in each universe. If you had an issue with anyone in the movie it would have been 2099.
If Peter isn't the main character then the movie is dedicated to hating him.
Every Peter Parker tired to capture and hurt Miles Morales because he didn’t want his father to die. They are portrayed as the villains and Miles as the savior/hero.
>Every Peter Parker tired to capture and hurt Miles Morales because he didn’t want his father to die.
No they wanted to capture Miles to save his universe. Even then Peter. B wasn’t even trying to capture him
>Why does DC Comics hate Batman
Are you trolling? DC does nothing but love and shill Batman. Go look at all the Flash marketing, fricking two different Batmans have more presence in them than the titular character.
Don't forget that Dark Multiverse shit. The only reason that exists is for more Batman wank.
>Sony made an entire movie dedicated to hating Peter Parker.
How is that what you took away from that movie? If anything, it's they made a movie dedicated to hating Miguel.
Not what Peter appeared in that movie doing anything with malicious or spiteful intent. Even by Miles' own admission they're not wrong do have to do this, but there still needs to be a middle ground where nobody has to die. Only Miguel was ever actually against him.
When Gotham got hit by an earthquake the only person providing any aid to the thousands of victims was Lex Luthor while Bruce was still busy playing dressup and chasing Joker and Scarecrow around
Lex Luthor only showed up at the end of the NML year while Bruce gave people jobs. Why are you making up shit about stories you didn't read?
Lex was the one who built and ran all the refugee camps. None of it was Bruce.
Batfleck looks like such a douche. He looks like Tom Taylor with that smirk.
It's the whole defund the police/police bad ideology that's undercutting the commentary about Batman at WB. The creatives doing these movies fundamentally don't believe that locking up street criminals by force prevents crime which is an essential element of Batman thus Batman's approach to crime stopping has to be shown not to actually ever work which is what the reeves movies does but to demonstrate that point in a story Batman has to be setup to not realize/only believe in the singular approach of beating up and scaring street criminals as the answer to crime which has never been the sole tactic of Batman to begin with. And Cinemaphile wonders why the Rippaverse is such a smashing success when moronic leftist pozz is nonsensically pushed like this.
well that's moronic nonsense since this has been happening since long before that movement existed

Most of the actual legit guilty ones are from the left and woke side of things AKA YOUR FRICKING SIDE YOU BASTARDS, while you keep slandering and defaming innocent upon innocent with the helpf of the buttmonkeys of social and legacy media just cause you are goldiggin thieves who want to steal something away form them or you just wanna destroy them because they aint woke or left and all for what, for your commie utopian future!
>also, police are statistically bad, cry more
Oh do tell!
>muh limited charity work justifies muh massive wealth
Eat shit. In real life, billionaires aren't good.
Sorry, bootlickers, there is no moral value in hoarding wealth while people starve. It is not a noble or aspirational thing to do, it is greed. Any other mental gymnastics you want to do to justify it so you can dream beyond your pissy 10k a year are fantasy and nothing more.
Just that, fantasy. Like humanoid aliens, amazonian warrior women, or people who can run faster than light.
Batman doesn't live in the real-life USA. He lives in a USA with three LAs, two Detroits and four New Yorks. The geography is different, no doubt the economics are too.
Real billionaires are parasites. Fictional billionaires need not necessarily be.
>waah gimme a fricking allowance or else I'll become a child raping homosexual clown!
Maybe I will.
And it’ll be your fault once I do become the clown.
Won't be my problem when you're riddled with holes.
It's substantially more likely that a crazed clown will win any fight between the two of you, so I'd be careful about antagonizing a future themed supervillain.
>I'd be careful about antagonizing a future themed supervillain.
i don't think dildos make for proper weapons.
I mean, Saints Row proved that wrong years ago.
t. bootlicker
The richest countries in the world are more than capable of providing basic housing, food and education for all their citizens, and have a moral obligation to do so.
If the government isn't providing for its people, it should not exist.
>t. child raping homosexual clown
You sure are questioning power b***hing about cartoons and comic book characters.
>>t. child raping homosexual clown
It's you guys who're more like the Joker.
In the sense that you'd rather to see the world burn than actually be a decent person.
>It's you guys who're more like the Joker.
>it should not exist.
agreed
I suppose it's the rich's fault your image is ant-sized because they wouldn't redistribute their wealth.
No you underage homosexual it's because the rich lobbied for stricter IP and copyright laws on the internet and introduced the webp format which disincentivizes the reposting of images from Google.
Try living longer than a decade, you might notice effects often have causes.
All I'm reading is you whining about being a lazy homosexual. Took me 30 seconds to find your pixelated image. Git good, kiddo.
Bruce, you fricking moron, they get free health coverage in jail and are hooked-up for life with BM's gang. It's a far better deal than wageslavery or whatever hack shit you think you're offering
>>muh limited charity work justifies muh massive wealth
Actually a major issue of the US tax code is that charity work tends to increase your wealth. Look at Bill Fates for example, he gas tons of charities and they don't drain but increase his net worth. Once you are passed a billion its actually really hard for you to just not make money even by spending it.
Charities are great for laundering money
Like hotels, or selling art
Exactly, that's why the anon you're replying to was making the point that charitable donations don't justify hoarding massive wealth or make a billionaire morally good.
The most recent Batman arc was for revealing that Wayne Enterprises is actually just another hoarding leech corporation and Bruce barely uses any of it for helping Gotham.
It ain’t just Joker saying it either to be a dick. Bruce admits to Barbara at the end that Joker was right and he just never cared enough to use his wealth to help individuals. Lucius refuses to give his money back for a long long while afterwards because of this exact reason because he would only spend it on himself.
Batman doesn’t care about Black Peepow - Kanye
>When Commies write for Commies & Normies
being critical of Batman =/= hating Batman
at the very worst I won't suck his dick, which apparently is a controversial stance for batgays.
No one is asking to suck off BatGod, but parroting tired twitter talking points is not a personality.
>someone says something embarassing while accidentally touching Wonder Woman's lasso of truth
get some new material, writers
Has it ever been done that a guy touches her lasso and confesses to a murder he would've gotten away with if not 100% stupid luck? That would be interesting to see at least.
Because they know they don't need to try anymore. No matter how bad it is, people will still buy it.
>You don’t see Disney or Sony mistreating their characters this badly?
lol
In the Batman: Bloom arc they reveal Bruce has a cloning machine inside the Batcave he uses to clone himself new bodies so if he ever dies his mind will just be implanted into a new freshly-grown clone body.
So Bruce splurged on this bullshit to make himself immortal so he can fight the clown forever until the heat-death of the DC universe…
but he never once considered that hey, maybe this would be the cure to every single disease on the planet earth as we know it? Maybe this would be better spent on the world and the poor and the sick than just myself and the clown?
Frick you Bruce you fricking psycopath.
He did not invent the cloning tech and it is too expensive for the average person to afford. How is that his fault? Did you even think what you said through?
He did invent the cloning tech and absolutely nothing is said in the comic of any price for it, you made that shit up.
And it’s certainly never gonna get any cheaper just sitting in the cave being used on noone but himself.
Show me the page where it says he invented it. And no, home assembly is not the same thing as inventing.
I don't understand why OP is having a tantrum about things that aren't true.
>about things that aren't true.
DC fans sure do love their denial. The clip's already online
And? Movies aren't canon.
DC Comics and Warner Bros don’t deserve the characters they own.
>If I actually wanted to stop crime I would solve poverty
Got any evidence? Sounds like you're making shit up.
>Between this and Matt Reeves saying Batman doesn’t donate to charity or programs, why does DC Comics hate Batman?
To be fair, the intent of that movie was to show Bruce consumed with so much rage that he is blinded by everything else,but realizes by the end that he needs to change a present a more hopeful image. I would imagine the sequel plans to explore Bruce taking on his more traditional playboy persona and engaging more with society outside of crime-fighting.
This. At least the Matt Reeves version consciously presents an off-base Batman from the start and even then, it becomes less about donating to charity as Bruce and more about being a symbol of hope as Batman anyway.
It's a funny thing, on one hand you have this character that prints money, but on the other hand, if all you have remaining to your glory days is a single character ...well, I could see an easy path to resentment, because what does that one-horse character say about you as a company?
>If I actually wanted to stop crime I would solve poverty
Explain The Penguin, Ivy, and Mr. Freeze? Money doesn't solve crime problems.
He didn't say stop all forms of crime everywhere though. Anyone can stop crime simply by reducing poverty because there are always a set of people who commit crimes because of that.
While poor people do commit crimes, it isn't 'because poverty'. Criminals are poor because criminality is poor in nature, and requires a high IQ to supplement
Yes, you seem like you have qualifications in this field and aren't a stupid homosexual bootlicker on the internet.
I do. I work in corrections and have intimate knowledge concerning muh 'socioeconomic' criminals
Glad to see you have no argument as the stupid homosexual asslicker you are
It probably would have with Freeze since ge could have cured his wife.
He needs the technology to do that. Money won't bring her back (unless he can pay for a lazarus pit treatment)
Bruce has a device that literally clones himself with an unharmed unscarred body perfect unblemished memories and he never once thought to use that on Nora or Freeze.
Beyond at least showed cloning won't help Freeze.
They could've Metallo'd him and his wife, but then he'd still turn evil because he can't feel anything.
Yeah but wasn't the issue that funding ran out? Or that he was embezzling depending on tge continuity?
I thought it was both of their conditions being uncurable like The Joker, Clayface, or Two-Face. Their main problem is their diseases. Batman would offer a cure but Freeze is too autistic to accept his help.
Money got Mr. Freeze partially in trouble, but it would've happened anyway whether he had some or not.
Why does he look like he is taking a huge shit?
Because white man bad. They will retire and introduce Bathomie, who will immediately frick Harley, Batgirl, Robin, Lois Lane and every other white woman in the BBC universe while shouting DAAAAAAAAYM DAT CRACKA PUSSY BE TIGHT AYO
You joke but that was the plan with Tim Fox Batman. But it failed so they moved him to New York.
They already tried that.
Instead of keeping 100 billion to himself for being white and old money why doesn’t Batman donate 100 billion to a Black People of Color social care program where it can be much better used donating to systematically oppressed american minorities in Gotham suffering under institutional racism?
How does 'eliminating' poverty solve corruption? Or rape? Or murder?
Minorities won’t be forced to commit crime by socioeconomic factors if rich old white men like Bruce didn’t keep them poor and oppressed to fill their own pockets.
There are no 'socioeconomic' factors to crime. There are just poor (and usually moronic) criminals
>minorities are the criminals
Pretty fricking racist, famalam
If Superman really cared, he would put the world in a bottle.
Why doesn't Themyscira allow MTF transfolk?
This is why trying to write superheroes existing in the 'real world' is fricking dumb
How would fixing poverty prevent people like the Joker or Ra's Al Ghul from doing what they do?
Or the Rothschilds
That's a fricking tangler
Listen, somethin just occurred to me, didn't we had a thread long time ago about what characters would say if they touch or got tied with the lasso of truth, and someone actually wrote a batman scenario something among the lines of ''if i ever cared, i would actually help the poor'' or something similar to what this fricking movie actually did to bats?
we know that hollywood insiders and wokescolds, they interact and browse this site too, so, do you think they might actually took a look, and ''didIT4real''?
>minorities are the criminals
Pretty fricking racist, famalam
>It is your fault we rape and kill people! Giv is gibs now!
If it wasn’t for Africans trading you to israelites for gunpowder, you mutts would be eating mud pies in Africa while still not being able to invent the wheel.
Please stop your painfully obvious false flag baiting.
How does this solve organized crime which is typically caused by prohibitions such as gambling and prostitution being illegal?
Makes me glad that Warner Bros is going bankrupt.
I can’t believe that Ben Affleck bragged about this scene.
>Tom Cruise and Stephen King thought this was a good line
Prove it and do it again, then. Why are you here tonguing whitey's anus instead?
Why is DC always so cringe?
>Only poor people commit crimes
Well, at least it's nice to see Hollywood gays be honest about their feeling about us for once.
Why does the mask look weird?
It's in broad daylight and wasn't designed for that.
He looks like a douche.
how the frick would solving poverty stop the Joker, Riddler, or any of the other fricking mentally ill schizos that Batman deals with on a daily basis?
Strict environmental regulation on chemical factories would solve a third of them, Batman not terrorizing everyone as a Dracula would prevent a third of them from being motivated, and solving poverty would diminish the ranks of organized crime/henching that supplies muscle to the last third.
you could've just stopped at
>how the frick would solving poverty
>this is how we save the DCU, by implying the guy whose parents got gunned down in an alleyway likes having crime around
DC doesn't hate Batman, if they did they wouldn't keep pumping out Batman movies and shows while ignoring their other characters. The DCEU is just shit and The Flash is a movie that wants to pander to everyone in order to not flop.
>if they did they wouldn't keep pumping out Batman movies and shows
Which port seat Batman as evil or incompetent like in the Op…sounds like hate…
>good guy with a gun
they already dealt with punisher... bats next

Miguel being antagonistic is within his character. He's one of the only Spider-men willing to kill for a reason
>love letter to Spider-Man

Do these people really think a billionaire can just solve the economy with money?
The government already spends tens of millions of dollars into anti-poverty programs. And all that money ends up doing jack shit.
The best that Batman can do to “solve poverty” is to actively gentrify the shit out of Gotham, moving the problem somewhere else. The second best is just being a fictional George Soros, donating money to “progressive” social causes. The third best is becoming Donald Trump. None of these have solved capitalism, nor can they.
>Do these people really think a billionaire can just solve the economy with money?
It's the same people who think throwing money at innr city schools will just fix the problems like there aren't multiple social factors at play. People want easy fixes to difficult problems.
We temporarily lifted a significant amount of child families out of poverty just by dishing out money to them during the pandemic. And then threw them back to poverty when the cash payments stopped. It’s all about giving people money directly instead of making it hard to get it thanks to means testing and internationally making the application process to be almost impossible
to use by design (like we’ve seen in Florida).
Batman could do a lot. Like building tons of low cost housing, investing in infrastructure, hiring an army of pro bono lawyers to help people beat bullshit charges that they’re forced to accept by doing plea deals which is how the vast majority of all convictions these days are done instead of going to court. They stack bs charges and then pressure you to admit guilt and plead down to a lesser charge, because you can’t afford to fight it in court with a good lawyer and DAs are incentivised to go hard on you if you don’t take the deal to make their lives easier, and that’s before we got to the issue of minimum sentencing for the higher charges where the only pragmatic thing to do is agree to plead down and do five years instead of risking getting full ten, twenty if you go to court and lose. And with a public attorney who’s willing overworked and has not time for you? You’re going to lose.
>Between this and Matt Reeves saying Batman doesn’t donate to charity or programs
I mean, that makes sense for where he's at as a character in that particular movie.
The fundamental problem is power creep.
In the typical Golden Age Batman had his little cave, and a car, and a chemistry set, a plane, and a gyrocopter (obsolete technology even then). You got the occasional "wow he has some cool shit!" story, but for the most part if you read a collection of stories at the time you get the feeling that the Waynes wealth was along the lines of "own several successful stores in town, and some industry in Gotham." With that kind of money you could fund a one-man war on crime, but you couldn't just snap your fingers and eliminate poverty in town.
At this point Batman has hovercrafts, human-level-intelligence supercomputers, teleporters, and builds massive satellites and spaceships because he thinks he might need them some day. He's become a guy so stupidly wealthy he honestly could be doing more good just writing checks instead of going after The Riddler. All because of power creep.
Why no one ever points out the opioid addiction problem when talking about combating poverty, seriously I just heard about this pharmaceutical company responsible for making thousands of people into helpless drug addicts that act like zombies and they got away with it. Drug addicts drop schools, are literally unable to work in a half decent job and are mentally unstable so they tend to be more violent and I never listen anyone pointing the obvious opioid crisis when talking about crime and poverty.
"The poor will always be with you" -Jesus
It's not like he's wrong. Gotham's problems can't be fixed by punching street thugs.
>people actually defending billionaires
Lol. You know they see you as nothing more than insects to be stepped on, right? I've worked as private security for millionaires, and they don't see regular people as human. They have no problem crushing them if it increases their wealth/power/influence. I can't even imagine what a multi-billionaire would be alike.
Judging an entire group of people based on your limited interactions with 1 or 2 is pants on head moronic. And most don't have private security following them around everywhere unless they are up to something shady so of course your only exposure would be with the bad ones.
>why does a company full of lefty weirdos hate a masculine straight white male character
i wonder why
Kinda neat. Poor Val Kilmer getting excluded, though.
well to be fair, to solve poverty the world would require a complete re structuration we could give everyone a home,education and food supply, but the quality of life for the middle class would decrease and crime would still exist, violent and petty crime would be a lot less but other types would increase.
while rich people seem to have enough money for everything the truth is that is imaginary money, i believe if the 10 richest persons in the world tried to use it all into something there would just not be enough real stuff to cover it, the value of the currency used would decrease almost becoming worthless.
If you taxed every rich person at 99% you still wouldn't have enough money to eliminate poverty
They legitimately overpowered Batman to the point where it DOES feel like he has enough money that he could solve poverty. This isn't the Batman of the old days who came from vague "money," this is the Batman who explicitly builds spaceships.
Never make your heroes too rich, it WILL invite this sort of thinking.
