Wants to end crime in Gotham City
t. Normie who's never read Batman before.
>wants to end crime in Gotham
>doesn't just round up all 13%ers
Dammit Batman, you can't keep putting it off forever! I KNOW that you've seen the Charts and Statistics!
Because Gotham is destined to be a shithole
f(4th)pbs
Okay, you got me.
I'm a comiclet.
Explain me what the in-universe explanation is for Bruce not investing in better public infrastructure, housing, education and healthcare
But he helps the cops, which do that just fine.
he has people for that.
>better infrastructure
>helping gotham
Remember, the city is filled with IQ 70 knuckle draggers with zero impulse control and far too much patience towards costumed degenerates.
HE ALREADY DOES ALL THAT YOU MORON!
He does
/thread
>I won't kill you Jaymarcus, but I don't have to save you from Jimbo's gun
Holy Smokes Batman!
I suggest he hire better people because those ones seem to be bad at their jobs
Yes he does, we tell you this shit every time this thread shows up.
Honest question
When the fuck was the last time Batman actually *stopped a crime*?
And by "crime" I mean something other than stopping a multiversal threat from destroying the universe
he's a mentally ill psycho that just wants to go out at night and beat up crooks
You're missing the forest for the trees, the reason the people of Gotham are so stupid and cynical is because they have no education or future, not the other way around.
Then why is Gotham still a shithole?
Are you even reading Detective Comics or the main Batman book?
>Writer who takes over a Batman comic that doesn't actually read Batman comics
Because
The in-universe explanation is that Gotham is just inherently a shithole which generates all kinds of super-criminals out of seeemingly thin air. It's just a playground for the feeble-minded conservative, really. Like a zombie apocalypse fantasy, but with more flair.
>Then why is Gotham still a shithole?
Just like Hub City, Gotham will always be a shithole.
Bruce does a shitload to help besides the Batman stuff, but at the end of the day he's just one guy going against an entire city.
I could ask the same thing about any other shithole city. Money doesn't fix everything, because people have to want to change. Gotham was rotten to its very core with criminal corruption even before Bruce was born. Gotham is a well oiled criminal machine. Besides its basically cursed ground in canon
He literally does, but it doesn't work for some comic book reason. Was it ever explained why Gotham is such shithole despite Batman trying to improve things 24/7 and being super genius and doing it for years?
>doesn't invest in better public infrastructure, housing, education and healthcare
>BUT HE TOTALLY DOES
>Still uses the Asylum system
>Still a run-down mansion
>Joker still escapes bi-monthly
If he is, he's doing a really shitty job of it
If that's true then Batman should just give up and stay home. Why bother going through all of this trouble when people are still going to get killed and raped by psychos everyday for the rest of time?
This.
You don't get it
Batman doesn't want to end his war on crime.
If he wanted he would have already resolved it by asking Martian Manhunter to brainwash everyone into an honest citzen.
Batman want to punish himself for being able to be an example.
Being Batman it's his curse, he wants to prove that super villains can fear a single man with an halloween costume and a belt with a bat as a symbol even more than they fear heroes that could destroy earth if they wanted.
Batman doesn't want his war on crime to end because that would mean he didn't make an example, he wants all the gotham's people to be heroes, to dress up as bats and punch all the evil people.
>tldr
Batman is insane and wants to punish everyone for his childhood traumas
Gotham is always destined to be a shithole. Like Detroit and Chicago
Because what he does HELPS people. Do cops just go home because people are getting mugged, killed and raped regardless of if they're out there or not?
Don't ask stupid questions then
There is no magic fix. That's the way Bruce likes it
Gotham sits on demonic leylines or some shit
>Does not reward shitty behavior with gifts.
Based.
But they weren't always shitholes.
Get better pasta.
No faggot the reason why Batman doesn’t just brainwash Gotham is because he’s the ultimate libertarian ancap and thinks telling anybody to do anything is inherently the most evil thing you can do. So he just goes to beat the shit out of people violating the non aggression principle.
Jesus Christ, that fucking hurt my brain to read.
proof read before posting
Cops don't have the insane wealth and intellect of Bruce Wayne.
>a literal uber capitalist is an ayncap
Why am I not surprised?
So, Batman would be a Sith, right?
He literally has donated tons of money to the police and the poor and participated/created many charities. He has used his company to help Arkham security. He has helped rebuilt Gotham buildings many times.
>HURR DURR THEN WHY STILL CRIME?!!!
Because it is a comic book, you retard. There will always be crime because there always will be supervillains.
That is like asking why there is still crime in New York even though almost every Marvel superhero lives there or lived there before. Because supervillains have to attack for the heroes to stop. Same goes for Metropolis, supervillains constantly attack the city because Superman needs someone to fight.
You don’t ask those question because you are a retarded normie who thinks he is so smart repeating a question that has been asked a billion times.
>Cops don't have the insane wealth and intellect of Bruce Wayne.
That doesn't change anything you retard.
>Because it is a comic book, you retard.
I think that sentence explains 99% of plotholes in comics, doesn't mean it's a good excuse.
It does.
> If he wanted he would have already resolved it by asking Martian Manhunter to brainwash everyone into an honest citzen.
There are people that think this is morally ethical. This is as terrible as Moviebob and his eugenics.
This is what this board has become.
>It does.
Fantastic argument.
Then go read something else.
You never had one in the first place.
Yeah they were. Chicago always had huge mafia families competing against each other. Detroit’s poor always resorted to crime. This happens everywhere even the smallest of towns
How is it that Anti-Batfags are somehow more mentally ill than Batfags and Jokerfags?
No
I've literally explained everything you've asked and all you had to say was "nuh-uh".
If you don't like it, fuck off.
Let me guess, you think Thanos was the hero of Infinity War and think Ozymandias did nothing wrong in Watchmen?
*sigh*
Has Batman ever tried eliminating the threat of Lex Luthor by divesting him of his Lexcorp capitol or anything like that? I feel like that'd be the only way to really stop Lex Luthor, someone too smart/rich to go to jail and too conceptual to just get punched by Superman.
Some corporate espionage, 4D chess by two intellectual and financial titans? I'd read the fuck out of that book.
Why are you entertaining this absolute retard who doesn't read comics and when told why he's wrong, can't learn from his ignorance?
Because he like any other Major DC Hero is a villain
I think Bruce Wayne bought Lexcorp outright a couple of decades ago. No idea what happened to that.
Are you ?
>Explain me what the in-universe explanation is for Bruce not investing in better public infrastructure, housing, education and healthcare
The explanation is " He does do that you fucking nonce."
He does though
To be clear, there was no corporate espionage or out-maneuvering. It was more like "You lost, Lex. Also, I just bought your company."
Investing in better public infrastructure, housing, education and healthcare prevents REAL crime, Batman only fights FICTIONAL crime.
Investing in better public infrastructure and housing will prevent desperate homeless people from ripping people off for money, it won’t prevent the emergence of killer clowns who reinvent their own personality and can’t be killed.
Investing in education allows people to have opportunities to get better jobs and make something of their lives, but it won’t do anything against thousand year old Chinese Arabs who can take a bath that makes him live forever.
Better healthcare will stop people from going into medical debt and find themselves desperate for money, but it can’t do anything to stop giant bipedal killer crocodiles with human intelligence from roaming the streets
Batman is a fictional crime fighter, so he only fights fictional crime. If you want him to prevent real crime, you’ll need to do it in the real world
>Then why is Gotham still a shithole?
Because it's a fucking comic book
What a brainlet take
Lex isn’t a pushover, user. Saying something is different than being able to do it. Lex isn’t some retard who will easily someone beat him unless it was a part of his plan.
Lex has been poor. Bruce has been poor. Ollie has been poor. Super villains buy Wayne Corps, etc. it never lasts, and doesn't amount to much.
They stopped used Arkham ages ago, IIRC.
Remember when he upgraded Arkham with fucking force field doors and the Arkham Security was a trained army and the inmates still broke loose
Yas Forums amazes me with its stupidity every day. If it wasn’t for Yas Forums, Yas Forums, and Yas Forums, this would be the dumbest board
Lex is still like 1300IQ smart, he can start from scratch and end up creating doomsday device in 10 years while being presiden of USA.
that's mostly a fault of the writers making up some bonkers shit
Yas Forums, Yas Forums and Yas Forums are worse than Yas Forums but Yas Forums is dumber than them.
That isn’t enough, user!
He needs to mindrape all civilians into being mindless slaves! And kill anyone that commits a crime!
It is the ethical thing to do!
MAKE GOTHAM GREAT AGAIN!
>making up some bonkers shit
>Joker planned an escape and had inside help
SO OUTLANDISH, WHO WOULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING SO INSANE?
He does, you retard
