You.... realize that he literally wouldn’t have been able to do anything if he wasn’t a trust fund billionaire?

He’d literally just be another angry orphan on the streets. Batman’s superpower isn’t determination or willpower, because that’s not what sets him apart from the common man.

it’s just money. Plain and simple. He can afford to do what he wants to do, and what he wants to do is morally positive, thus making him a superhero.

Absolutely, main issue I have with them isn’t them themselves. It’s mainly having to try and remember how you formatted the answer.

I mean isn’t that the point of security questions, that they’re things you would just remember because they’re answers to things that are/were important to you?

Hence the reason why superheros resort to crime to get the good deeds publicised and hopefully to wakeup more everyday ordinary superheros

Oh well, then enjoy!

I never saw it, but I swear he said CD.

Do you mean DVD?

Like a machine that would both play CDs and record things like off the TV.

That.... Can't be true. Really??!? Are you talking like CD-RW drives? Or like walkman players?

When CD player/recorders first came out. my ex-BIL bought one and paid 20 thousand dollars for it.

Well, part of that wealth allowed him to travel and be trained by the best martial artist. (In the Nolan verse he didn't even need the money to be recruited by ras) then he also educated himself in all sciences and somehow through pure obsession and determination became the best detective mind in the DC universe. I do agree the money helped him aquire these skills although when he's in the field dodging bullets, outsmarting villians and kicking ass the money thing is hardly ever the solution to the threat to the entire planet, or all of reality for that matter. Batman's power is his will power and determination and I will no longer stand for this diminishing description of character.

I paid $65 for my first thumb drive: 128 mb.

That’s megabytes, not gigabytes…

Sure. If you don't account for the growth of programs. I don't know any stats on this but a COD game that is roughly ~130GB is 13% of a 1TB that is roughly $100. I feel like the bang for your buck is there but newer generations get bigger numbers for their dollars?

Because it is impossible to be conventionally good. Most superhero movies gloss over the parts where people are impacted negatively by the deeds of these heroes.

From a peephole, we could call jeff bezos a hero for creating a business that hires millions of people.

Never, ever underestimate the power of being the third wheel.

Batman's super power is being super rich though?
