Wayne enterprises apparently encompasses stuff like defense industries and medical insurance; if someone who'd been denied healthcare insurance and was either dying or slowly watching their body die or fall apart on them killed Bruce in a similar fashion, how would his friends react?

Superman, the flash and even green lantern are portrayed as fairly understanding people (although Superman and Batman are literally best friends), but Wonder woman is decidedly not; thing is, if they found the shooter, some guy who could barely walk, perhaps shaking from whatever ailment that progressed because his health insurance decided to delay as long as possible (with the likely intent of waiting the guy's health out), what would they do? It's hard for me to imagine even Wonder woman hurting some guy who can barely stand, even though she's definitely one of the DC heroes who kills her enemies (or at least some of them).

I'd ask what if it was a person from the global South who'd been a victim of Wayne enterprises' defense industries but honestly given DC is an American company, I can easily imagine Western heroes pounding the heck out of an Arab or African person who'd lost loved ones to Wayne enterprises.

Superman Reaction would be: doggirl-gloom

Wonder Woman Reaction would be: "By Hera. I didn’t know that. I just, you’re telling me now for the first time. He led an amazing life. What else can you say? He was an amazing bat-man. Whether you agree or not, he was an amazing bat-man who led an amazing life. I’m actually saddened to hear that."

The Joker would probably kill the guy though.

The Joker would probably kill the guy though.

Having it be a comic where Bruce Wayne is revealed to be Batman after being Luigi'd and the Joker goes on to become a vigilante and hunt down the killer for revenge would be pretty good, especially if as the Joker does this he realises that the status quo Batman was defending was way crazier and messed up than any of the Joker's schemes.

It would be cool, I think the Joker as much as he talks about Chaos and whatever, he sees Batman as something necessary for him and he probably enjoys the status quo. With other characters, I don't think Superman would do anything, same with most other Justice League members, Diana would probably try to kill the guy though but Clark would talk her out of doing it. I can also see Talia trying to ressurect Bruce.
