Poll of the Day > The most unbelievable thing about Batman

(+) Yeah! (+)

Uhh not all rich people have armed bodyguards.

What I find hard to believe is that nobody can figure out Bruce is Batman. How many 6 ft 2 jacked billionaires are in gotham?

He wear suits most of the time so...plus Batman often looks taller and bigger with the suit and boots

let alone walking down crime alley, alone, at night.

I mean, he does wear a suit that protects him most of the time, but he had to study tons of martial arts etc first to actually develop his skills, yet he still has a totally normal/pretty face and almost no wounds etc.

Also he pretty much exclusively uses stuff developed by Wayne Enterprises and even though he has a secret RND lab etc, nobody EVER leaks that all the stuff batman uses comes from Wayne Enterprises. Is batman secretly killing them after they make his crap?

Is that a billionaire would take his wife and son out to the theater without any armed bodyguards

People used to go outside in the 80s... and yes, baby batman is from the 80s now

Iirc there was a plot line once where Bruce came out and said he was funding batman but wasn't batman. I feel they shoulda stuck with that.

I've always wondered how he managed to make the Bat Cave. Even if it is just a natural cave, someone had to move all that stuff in there.

He made Alfred do it.

I always figured he just breaking bad/better call saul'd that shit and had workers flown in from germany etc, with blindfolds on who didn't speak English and then flew them back and they had know idea where they were, what they built etc.

Dude is rich, he coulda pulled it off easily.

Hey, remember that time Batman and Batgirl were on a roof and then Batman just decided that what he wanted to do the most in life was to impregnate one of his friend's daughter?

Hey, remember that time Batman and Batgirl

Remember that time Batman told a story about the time he reminisced about the time he made Robin kill and eat rats.

I never understand how Bruce Wayne has the time to be batman. When's he sleep?

Bitch is Rich, he sleeps during the day like a bat. How often you see him actually running around during daylight hours at least in the comics etc (in the original show they did alot during the day due to lighting probably).

Anyway if your a billionare you pretty much have all the free time you need, and it's even a theme in a few movies where he isn't watching over his company or doing the bruce wayne stuff much so it gets out of control etc.

The real question you gotta ask yourself is why nobody notices batman mainly shows up at night and over time all crime starts to happen durring the day. Batman ain't as scary in the light of day, so rob that bank at noon mf.

IIRC Batman became richer as his comics developed. Originally he was just from an older, wealthy family in Gotham, but now he's morphed into Scrooge McDuck levels of wealth

I always thought he was the richest person on the planet or something like that.

We're getting to the point where it's absurd to that the Waynes would even go to a theater. Their own home theater room has to be better than any theater in Gotham.

Wanna say Luthor was richer but I'm not positive

Alot of Lex's assets are hidden, illegal etc. While Bruce has alot of hidden stuff as batman etc, most of it still originated legally, and their total net worth (publically) is pretty close.

Both have created suits that could let them fight Superman, but Lex doesn't have the scruples that Bruce does, and uses his money in many ways that Bruce can't/won't.

So while they have around the same amount of net worth publicly (although that varies based on timeline etc), Lex would have alot more power from his technology and honestly would probably win vs Batman in direct conflicts in most cases because of a variety of reasons.

Heck lex could mostly win just by using his money to destroy Bruce Waynes resournces legally, giving him no option to go vigalante on him (if he knew/figured out who Batman was). Lex is smart enough you would imagine he could, although the fact he couldn't break through the amazing camafloge of Superman allows a good chance that he never would after all lol.

Still Lex has satalites etc that should easily be able to track the batmobile back to it's lair, which would instantly implicate Bruce, then could use heat sensors and other methods to identify bruce as batman (same heat signature height and general frame for instance). In addition using things like DNA from saliva in the air in a room Batman was in at some point would allow you to quickly reduce the amount of people that could be Batman, and then test others against it for proof.

Pretty much no way with the technology levels involved that Batman at least couldn't be Identified by Lex. Superman at least doesn't let on that he has an alternative identify and everyone knows he is from another planet, so might be no reason to search for a secret identity.

Batman on the other hand has expensire high tech gadgets that only the very wealthy could afford, based on his location and the fact there are very few with the resources to get such equipment in that area, it's almost obvious who Batman really is to anyone who is intelligent and has alot of resources.

So yeah, they may both have about the same wealth, but I would imagine that Lex always has known who Bruce/Batman is, and just never used it (unless he did and I missed that).

It'd be weird if Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne were unironically good friends.

I thought Lex Luthor was Thomas Wayne's age.

I havent read the whole thread. But I think Lex has that stuff because he has a whole science team, right?

Pretty sure Wayne has one. Or at least the funds to have one. But he's really only got the funds it seems for slightly advanced military stuff. Lex has space age shit.

He has Wayne industries. But I dont think they main science team is making weapons They are usually researching like cleaner fuel sources. Lexs team is like all about making weapons and shit Bruce does use some stuff to help with weapons. But I think he mostly makes his own stuff While Lex has a team to help him make stuff. Plus, the stuff Batman does use for weapons has to be a little different from his stuff from work. That way, everyone at Waynes Industries doesnt find out

He uses stuff from work. And he could easily hire a science team if he doesn't have one. I assume he has one cause well... the watchtower exists

The most unbelievable thing about Batman is every time they add some magic bullshit to it, just leave him as a realistic psycho, it's better that way.

Ivy, Superman, Clayface, Mr Freeze, worst Batman villains. Left out of the good movies for a reason. It's like adding real magic to sherlock holmes.

I like it when he deals with mob bosses and serial killers better.

That's how the original Batman was. I've read Batman: The Dailies, which was a collection of the daily newspaper strips from the 1940s. Nearly all the enemies are regular crooks, like gangsters and mob bosses. The only "super" villain he goes up against is the Joker and even that is only a single story near the end of the run.

I like the Joker because it feels like he was inspired by Batman to put on a persona to give his life meaning,

The Red Hood was a disguise used by various criminals. How it worked was if one person was suspected of being The Red Hood they would have an alibi for other crimes The Red Hood committed.

So of course it makes perfect sense that a nobody that was hired by other criminals to be The Red Hood for one night would turn out to be a criminal mastermind and brilliant chemist after his first heist went bad and he had mishap with a vat of chemicals.
