New Grounded Take on Batman to Feature Billionaire Bruce Wayne Not Helping Anyone
New Grounded Take on Batman to Feature Billionaire Bruce Wayne Not Helping Anyone
LOS ANGELES — The next film in the Batman franchise will be a grounded take that features Bruce Wayne deciding to not use his billions…
Instead they are self-funding space missions, pouring millions into longevity research and buying a bunker in New Zealand.
Don't forget buying social media and amplifying the voices of Gotham's worst
Make Gotham great again!
God I wish billionaires restricted themselves to "not helping anyone". It seems that our actual billionaires are actively trying to destroy everyone's lives through abuse of monopoly power, election influence, running interference against climate change laws, straight up regular crime, and so on.
If billionaires limited themselves to only being fabulously wealthy and living in exorbitant luxury, they'd never be billionaires
..because you only really need to have 100 million dollars or something like that at most for life-long disgusting levels of luxury, anything more is just showing off
In fact, I'd even argue that 10 million usd is more than enough for living a stress-free luxurious life without needing to work a single more day in your life
If I try to imagine my life where I had $100 million and the best thing I could find to do with my time— given that just about everything would be within my budget — was to work long hours and try to raise thar number… it just seems sad.
That’s the exact kind of go-getter a lot of society has told me is the person I should want to be too. Gross.
100 mill is chump change anymore. USD might as well be pesos the way the tax and spend GOP handles things.
100 mil buys a very medicore doomsday bunker. 500 mil in 2024 is the new 100 mil from 2018.
Look, I'm just saying the alley guy who keeps shooting rich people probably did more good than Batman
Unfortunately, they caught him after the first two and then he was shot on the orders of a third 😮💨

"Mr. Wayne, we need to issue a recall all of the WayneTrucks again."
“Only 20 people have been sliced like ham so far Lucious”
“Don’t we have a PR firm to put a positive spin on it?”
“Use one of our fairytale non-profits!”
Bruce wants his tax cuts
Alfred is wearing a MAGA cap
Alfred: I bloody don't see why everyone is whining about having a king, I love me monarchs. Did you know George VI claimed Prima Nocta on my wife? Never been so proud.
How many billions would Bruce have if Wayne Enterprises paid it's employees their fare share if it's profits?
Batman is the real villain. How much crime would there be in Gotham if his billions were spread throughout the local economy, by means of a fair and substantial wage? Or if he was taxed appropriately and some of those billions ended up in social programs, or in therapists and reentry programs at Arkham? Probably not much.
Ironically, the rights to a Televised Batman are locked up in legal limbo (which is why we only see Bruce Wayne in spinoffs or shadowy figures for cameos, or Adam West with his bat ears digitally removed) so a TV show about Bruce Wayne not being batman would be more realistic than a TV Show about Batman.
batman would drive a f-350 super duty and park like a douche
He’s drive a cybertruck and follow Elon on twitter
He just dresses up as Batman to pose on top of his skyscraper for the Tiktok hits! He's addicted to social media and is always getting into flamewars with the Joker and Riddler!
Probably a better way to settle their differences, honestly.
Oh man they fucking got me. Really believed this one. Tbh it would probably be fun take potentially.
Dude creates villains like Joker and Bane and pays them to wreck the city so he can play hero, then gets them out of jail and they all laugh on his mega yacht.
Well, he can still just beat up criminals (the poor) with no reason...
ah yes the famous poor criminal the penguin or falcone
ITT: People saying he's already like this
which is also people who dont watch or read batman media
Maybe stop making Batman shit?
I'm not sure how to interpret this.
Stop making Batman shit (products and media)?
or
Stop making Batman (into a shit-quality character)?
or
Stop making Batman (defecate)?
"I'm not wearing hockey pants"
shits into his big bat diaper™
It's the new DC event; Bowel Crisis.
Just anything Batman related
How could you possibly fall for this?
I didn't fall for anything, I'm just tired of hearing about Batman
I don’t blame him though, most people make me lose my faith in humanity. I think it’s rational for someone to want to protect themselves and favor self-preservation. I also think it’s rational to contribute to a system which helps sustain you and your life and everything you enjoy doing. I don’t think it’s fair to ask people to make sacrifices or be altruistic or less selfish. I do think it’s fair to ask people to be reasonable and civil.
This only works on a societal level if you have a way to prevent people from being evil. Not just laws, but enforcement.
