Bruce Wayne didn't have any parents, and he turned out just fine

[Devsman]

Just an ordinary guy who embezzles company funds to build military grade weaponry so he can go out at night dressed like Dracula beating people to a pulp hoping it will make his dead parents proud.

He never donate that money and technology to build a secured city. He wanted to punch people. It's not normal.

Is Conor McGregor normal?

I mean, don't you?

What if I said something really really wrong on the Internet, and wouldn't change my mind no matter how much you proved it?

Are you saying he was Alfred's test subject?

[Tonepoet]

Dracula doesn't dress up like a bat. Bruce Wayne doesn't beat people to a pulp in the hopes that he'll make his dead parents proud. He knows his dead parents would be proud of him regardless, although I suppose he might need reminding of that by Alfred on occasion.

Bruce Wayne beats people to a pulp in the hopes of preventing the same tragedy that befell him won't befall somebody else. He also makes sure not to kill them. It's also somewhat of an act of vengeance He also has a bad habit of informally adopting wayward souls. Lord knows how many people took up the mantle of Robin by now, and once he reached retirement age he took in Terry McGinnus to be the next Batman.

I'm not so sure about the embezzlement angle. I am not sure if Wayne Enterprises is publicly traded or not which makes a difference because it makes the difference to having a fiduciary duty to stockholders or not, and it seems to me that it would be easier to him not to be held accountable to anybody. If it's not publicly traded, then Wayne Enterprises is 100% his property, and I don't think you can embezzle funds from yourself.

Plus you know, much of his research for his batman stuff probably has practical application for the company too, say if he wants to contract some of that tech. such as the jet engines for the batwing, out to the military without the bat themed motif. It's also probably safe to assume he uses his personal income on his punk punching hobby too.

I mean, it seems like Wayne Enterprises is publicly traded in the D.C.A.U., but I only recollect seeing elements of that by the time of Batman Beyond, so it might have been privately owned before then. More importantly, as much as I like the D.C.A.U., it's the golden age comic book version which is the definitive version. No reasson the D.C.A.U. should take precedence over say the Adam West version, who is almost certainly 100% on the up 'n up. Adam West's Batman wouldn't even hit a guy wearing glasses, and probably made sure to fund himself entirely on his own private income.

It's pretty well known that Batman isn't entirely right in the head and a bit of a lawbreaker himself. The most common angle under which he comes under trouble under the law is that vigilantism is illegal. The only reason he gets away with it is 'cause Commissioner Gordon doesn't go after him in recognition of all the good his actions do for Gotham, but generally speaking, other members of the force aren't so lenient when they're put in charge.

Adam West Batman is Best Batman. I watched that show on TV as a kid. :)

So, you seem like a Batman Expert! If not, too bad, 'cause I'll treat you like one...


How motivated would Batman be to save people's lives from a natural disaster that was not caused by criminal activity?


And, if he'd be highly motivated, then... why does he keep all his high-tech stuffs from being used to save people's lives from natural disasters or cure diseases? (I think Wayne Enterprises has charitable efforts, but this is just a play on Comic Book morality.)

I can see Superman rushing off to save a town from a flood while Batman then says "OK Superman! While you do that, I'll be sure to keep those people safe from criminals!" Two "whooshes" in opposite directions. :)

I really appreciate the narrative crafting that went into creating the Batman character and his stories. It's great! But, I've never been a big fan of Batman. I did love the old show a lot as a kid, though - It actually taught kids some morality/ethics AND managed to do so while making the show fun for adults.

In Batman Cataclysm, Gotham got hit by an earthquake, and actually, Batman sent Robin after the villain while he went and rescued people. And punches some bad guys along the way because of course he did

Does he though...?
I played Batman Arkham Origins and at the very begining of the game there are already murders that go on Batman's account.

Isn't Batman his real identity and Nruce Waye his alter ego? If so he didnt turn out fine

Depends on who's writing. I've seen it done both ways, or with both of them being more or less equal.
