    Too bad Bruce already does this with his fortunes and has set up so many charities, homeless centers, orphanages, work centers, … He even helped a couple of goons get a job at Wayne enterprise.

    It is only because Gotham is literally cursed that it does not work.

    So the people who say that really never read any of the comics.

      I’m usually absolutely not interested in any superhero and their lore but how is Gotham cursed?

        I don’t read comics either… but yeah Gotham being “cursed” to be crime ridden no matter what does sound like bit of a dog whistle lol.

          Just the like the US is just cursed with gun violence and there’s nothing that can be done about it

            Nah, America is cursed because it was built on an ancient Indian burial ground, and they only moved the grave markers while leaving the bodies there.

            I can’t begin to tell you how much of a relief it would be to learn that an occult curse is the real reason standard of living in the U.S. has been on such a steep decline since Reagan (and the Heritage Foundation) took office.

          More like, “We know that these are serious issues, and we appreciate that our readers and writers both are intelligent, dedicated, and meticulous. However, we still need a setting where we can tell a story, and a good story is driven by conflict.”

          Speaking as a writer, it’s a case where Status Quo Is God, not an overt endorsement of violence against the working class. In fact, Absolute Batman is literally just a dude working construction. He also snaps Nazi arms like twigs.
