    Except Batman’s saved Gotham and the world a few times. Presumably not being a billionaire would make that much harder. Personally, I think the continued existence of everyone we know and love is worth more than all of Bruce Wayne’s wealth.

        When someone plants a bomb that will destroy Gotham and Batman defuses and removed the bomb, what has Batman done to the city if you don’t think he saved it?

        Like, if I save a child from getting hit by a car today is the kid now immortal?

          The people usually doing stuff like that are guys he’s already caught a thousand times

          Then after the bomb threat is gone, Gotham is still a shithole

            The people

            Whom the police are invariably unable to stop

            usually doing stuff like that are guys he’s already caught a thousand times

            Are you saying we should execute those who are mentally unwell and pose a danger to others?

            Then after the bomb threat is gone, Gotham is still a shithole

            Gotham’s a shit hole and thus doesn’t deserve saving?

              Yeah. Execute them.

              Not like we have any other choice like using nth metal to make more secure facilities.

              Oh wait

              I forgot

              You’re taking this entirely too seriously and I’m not arguing over a fictional city with someone who seems to have a lot more invested in this than I do

              I have two long boxes of Batman comics. I’ll have my fun. You can have your Internet fights.

                Sure but you’re the one who started a silly internet fight.

                If he “saved” Gotham, he wouldn’t need to exist anymore

                I get you don’t want a billionaire to be doing the right thing but it takes a pretty ridiculous reading of the comics to argue that there’s a better use for Batman’s money.
