"Ivy, you know who I am at this point. Let me attest that most of these people don't actually do shit. There are layers of layers of management and shareholders that allow the average generational wealth billionaire to extract extreme amounts of wealth without doing shit. That's honestly a good thing in your case, because anyone who actually has the ability to make obscene money in this universe is either a superhero or supervillain, and you would have just walked into their secret hideout.

If you do kill him, the best case scenario is a collection of hedge funds you never heard of divy up his controlling shares and keep business as usual flowing. The worst case is Luthor buys the company and makes everything a million times worse as step one in a convoluted plan to kill superman via kryptonite laced micro plastics. The most likely thing is one of those technically secret society orgs seizing control because at this point they just need some win. My money is on the Owls. They've been humiliated so many times they've been officially downgraded to "community advisory committee".

I honestly don't even understand where this is coming from. You and Freeze both have blank checks from both WayneTech and Star Labs to continue your research. Either of you alone could reverse large portions of climate change. If you really wanted to go the vigilante route, you could have just mind controlled him. Darksied is planning an invasion, there are no less than three evil AIs rolling around, I'm dealing with two separate split personalities, and I haven't heard from the Joker in a while which means we're all probably fucked. Even if I did notice, it would take me literal years to get around to actually fixing it. It feels like you are doing this because on some level you want to fail, because that's easier than doing the hard work required to fix the systemic abuses of our system "

"...So I take it the Therapy's working, huh Bruce?"

"Sort of. It's Batman".

"Actually technically right now you're Nightwing. Care to explain that?"

"It's a long story. The short of it is that I'm pulling double duty because Dick somehow forgot how to fucking Jump and Jason took Damien out for "Beer and Cigarettes", which I can only hope is literal because anything it would be a metaphor for would involve no less than two dozen corpses.".

"Jesus Christ and Harley said I was carrying too much stress. I'll come back next week, get some rest Bruce"

"Batman"

"Nightwing "

"...."

People who are too dumb to understand comic books are rooting for nuclear winter.

Batman is the bad guy and I will die on that hill.

[–] lath 13 points 4 months ago

Batman won't let you die. He'll just tie you up and send you to Arkham.

7 years? That's a pretty old meme. We have already done irreparable damage and we could only mitigate it at this point.

The great thing about the earth is that it has a seemingly boundless capacity to renew itself.

The bad thing is that renewal takes time and often results in a radically different biosphere with organisms best suited to predate on prior iterations of life.

I'm less worried about how the earth will look in 10,000 years than I am worried about how humans will survive in the next 100.

[–] Huschke 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You are absolutely right, I meant more for us humans. The earth will recover. With or without humans.

Batman would rather beat up and cripple poor people who fell into crime from their situation, instead of actually doing something about it. After decades, Gotham ends up worse than when he got in, and the criminals just got crazier. He made it worse.

Killing the billionaire doesn't change anything. Someone else will take his place and continue the destruction.

Bruce Wayne has pushed for good environmental changes using his influence.

I'm tired of these idiotic memes made by people who have no idea about Batman.

Only fine thing about this meme is Poison Ivy πŸ₯΅

I add an asterisk to your comment.

If enough executives get killed by eco-terrorists then people will reconsider wanting to be an executive at those companies.

The peoples true power has and always will be the threat of violence.

this could have been a great thread to talk about what we should really be doing to these billionaires and their companies, and you nerds just descended into batman lore.

She says "let me kill that billionaire" but it doesn't look like he's in a position to prevent her.

[–] samus12345 9 points 4 months ago

She was just being polite.

I'm with Ivy all the way but at the end of the day, the CEO position will just be replaced by another suit.
