      Yeah, the suspension of disbelief has broken for me too. No billionaire can be a superhero

      How does it work for you?

      If you think Batman is real, you have to accept that Joker and Scarecrow are too.

      Both wanted to kill and / or drive everyone in the city crazy. Neither was homeless or destitute, so neither needed a more just system.

      Just explain the logic, okay?

          You still haven’t explained how it works.

          Batman risks his life to save the city. If he’d spent his time building schools and hospitals he wouldn’t have had the training to stop the Joker et al.

          How does him risking his life to save the city not make him a hero.

          He saw that there were people building schools, but he was the only one smart enough to build a Batcave and buy all the toys.

          You seem pretty sure of your position, so defend it.
