A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

If Batman was real today, he'd go after the CEOs of companies, not gangsters. (self.showerthoughts)

i don't follow the comics but things that are established that i know of are:

Bruce Wayne is insanely wealthy
Uses his wealth for his bat-themed middle age crisis (bat sports car, bat private jet, bat motorcycle, bat gondola probably)
Other than that the best thing he does for other people is "philanthropy" (in the real world this is a scam by the wealthy) unless you count taking in his ~~young lover~~ sidekick
The police and the politicians are extremely corrupt and are for sale.

Now from all this i gather it would be very easy for Bruce to get actual political power in Gotham to make real change but he doesn't do it because running around in a furry costume is more fun.

Even apart from that, sneaking around in a costume talking about how you're the night or the knight or whatever is on its own very cringe and psychotic.

Why do you refuse to answer the comments disproving you?

idk what the hell you're talking about. there's one comment that gives reasons, and excuse me for being asleep at the time. other comments are just people being offended on batman's behalf. that's not disproving.

Oh no mate, you've really upset the adult Batman fans

i know right. i mean we're in showerthoughts, and some of these people are accusing me of not having inhaled the entire batman anthology. i like two of the comments though, supersaiyanswag and underpantsweevil

So basically you know very little, but have come to the conclusion that he sucks anyway?
