angel-starbeam: existingispointless: rubykgrant: I can’t remember which comic I saw it in (and it may have even been a fan-work done to look as comic-book-y as possible), but I remember seeing a bit where Bruce was like “I pay all my taxes, I donate to all kinds of organizations, why are there still so many places in Gotham that are falling apart?” so he did his detective thing and found out that like… everybody who was in charge of everything in his city was just keeping most of the money for themselves, or hiding it, or only using money to fix-up things that they themselves used (like, “look! we fixed all these roads!” and it was the private roads they drove on, or “look! we helped this school!” and it was the school their kids went to), so naturally Batman went and punched them while also dropping off evidence to the police, and then Bruce got to do an outraged act like he JUST found out about this in the news, and he doubled-down on making sure stuff got fixed with his money, but then a whole bunch of new people got put in charge and they were just as corrupt as the first So in conclusion we should overthrow corrupt governments Bruce: Heck yeah! Clark: Bruce… Bruce: Hey, I’m not you, I’m not crossing any lines here. Diana: *charging with her sword* Viva la revolution!!!! Bruce: Cannot speak for Diana. 1000% yes to all of this!!!! -- source link
