As A Precaution - Tumblr Posts

I wish people who made posts like this:

("Why does Batman need to be a billionaire?"

"He has to fund the Justice League. They often have a space program."

"But couldn't he do more good if he just invested-"

"The Earth is routinely invaded by aliens, gods, and the forces of an extraterrestrial god of tyranny.")

Understood several factors of what people who complain about Batman being a billionaire are actually saying.

1: Not every Batman is dealing with fucking alien invasions and other hyper dimensional bullshit. A lot of them, especially the most marketable main brand movie one's are just fighting gangsters, criminals and terrorists.

2: The idea that a billionaire should be able to build his own space station with a lazer canon (Or have his own spy network letting him listen to every single phone conversation in the city) is terrible no matter the circumstances, You might as well just admitted you're in favor of an all power arbiter at this point.

3: The idea that its 'necessary' is dumb because Wonder WOman comes from a technologically and magically advance civilization. Superman has a sci-fi Fortress of Solitude and so on. There is nothing stopping 'them' from building a space station that's more advanced than anything Batman could fund is. Or hell, maybe just have them take over a space station used by a villain?

4: And this is the most important one. Batman is not real. When we talk about Batman being rich being a problem, its a discussion of how so much culture is built around the worship of the wealthy. Its similar to how people will discuss why its problematic Batman caves people's heads into walls and hospitalizes people for minor offences. What does this say about us, that this is the hero?

So no, nobody missed the point, nobody forgot the aliens, no one fails to acknowledge the fact he has charities (That accomplish nothing because in comics nothing can change) We're talking about the writing decisions of real people and fans alike.
