Note that the tax exempt amount of $10 million is chosen such that 99% of people have less than that net wealth. It's supposed to guarantee a strong democratic support.
I.e. the 99-percent-quantile of net wealth is about $10 million in the US. (or at least it was in 2019 when i looked at the statistics)
Unfortunately Bruce is really poor. Everything he uses day-to-day belongs to a foundation on the Caymans, whose owners are not known. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Cannot tax that guy.
Im gonna say that this is why Batman Forever is my favorite Batman movie. There is this scene where the badguys rip a bank vault out of the wall, and by the end of the scene batman uses an explosive to have fly back into place. My point is, Batman needs to take place in a pulpy hyper reality, or he goes from a Doc Savage in a cool costume to a mentally insane Billionaire karate chopping poor people because as punishment.
Also, in that movie, they took pains to portray him as a "Good" ceo.
I just think this is an issue of tone and presentation.
that is why i love the gothic tone of Tim Burton, it is a Hallucinogenic reality with grotesque characters
Absolutely this. Ever since Nolan, we've been getting grimmer, darker, more "realistic" reboots of the character as directors try to figure out what Batman would look like in the real world. Burton and Schumacher asked the much funner question of, "What kind of crazy nonsense world worships a vigilante in a furry suit?"
Lol .... but a fancy custom made billion dollar armored car, motorcycle, jet boat and jet aircraft is more sexy and looks more powerful.
still love him
Huh, a post on Lemmy completely misunderstanding Batman. Must be a day that ends in "y".
Why isn’t Batman fighting corruption and beating up judges, cops and politicians? Cause he’s out crippling a dozen poor people who had no other way to make money than to work for the joker or whoever
