[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8434192, member: 6704184"] lol Okay. You know Wyatt Earp was not at all a hero, right? Like, read about the guy's life, rather than watching movies about him. Putting that aside, what on earth is your point? I literally said upthread that changing the world as just one person is a necessary assumption of superhero comics. Nothing about anything I've ever said relies on the idea that Batman couldn't make a difference on his own. I've said that he is ignoring some of his most practical and powerful tools for not only reducing poverty and crime, but for [I]keeping[/I] Gotham safe once he has done so, in those stories where he isn't really doing anything significant to address poverty, drug treatment, and other systemic issues that contribute to crime rates, in the city of Gotham. Because he is so wealthy that he could do so and still be one of the wealthiest people alive in the DC world. I think maybe you aren't conceptualising just how many resources Bruce Wayne has, canonically. TBH, just making him dramatically less wealthy would help make his stories make more sense. Maybe make his kit a little less slick now and then, show him repairing rather than replacing things sometimes, and keep him outside of the "1 percept of the 1 percent" level of wealth, and it becomes much more a story about a guy who is doing what he can. No one has ever argued that. That's such a wild hyperbolisation of what people have argued that it seems like it could only possibly be made in bad faith. "Just related", no. But it is a proven fact that more economically egalitarian societies have dramatically less violent crime. The vast majority of violent crime exists because of poverty. [/QUOTE]
