Except Batman's saved Gotham and the world a few times. Presumably not being a billionaire would make that much harder. Personally, I think the continued existence of everyone we know and love is worth more than all of Bruce Wayne's wealth.
If he "saved" Gotham, he wouldn't need to exist anymore
When someone plants a bomb that will destroy Gotham and Batman defuses and removed the bomb, what has Batman done to the city if you don't think he saved it?
Like, if I save a child from getting hit by a car today is the kid now immortal?
The people usually doing stuff like that are guys he's already caught a thousand times
Then after the bomb threat is gone, Gotham is still a shithole
Whom the police are invariably unable to stop
Are you saying we should execute those who are mentally unwell and pose a danger to others?
Gotham's a shit hole and thus doesn't deserve saving?
Yeah. Execute them.
Not like we have any other choice like using nth metal to make more secure facilities.
Oh wait
I forgot
You're taking this entirely too seriously and I'm not arguing over a fictional city with someone who seems to have a lot more invested in this than I do
I have two long boxes of Batman comics. I'll have my fun. You can have your Internet fights.
He didn't defuse it, he just shielded himself under some heavy iron pipes when it went off.
Not quite sure which incident you're talking about but Batman's saved Gotham and the world more than a few times. He mortally wounded Darkseid in the Final Crisis event, stopped a worldwide Joker plague in Endgame (and Gotham city from a similar fate in the 1989 movie) and so on. As a member of the Justice League, I imagine he's saved the universe a good few times too.
Sorry, it was behind the pipes, not under them.
