My man, if every billionaire had the ethics and morals of batman we'd be a much better place.

Not everything in life is a conspiracy theory. Him being a billionaire is a cool concept precisely because most billionaires are assholes. Not to mention it's the only way he could afford all his gadgets.

He could instead afford to do something significant about climate change, but no. "He's a cool guy."

Bruce Wayne already is.

He is the single biggest charity funder in the entirety of Gotham, he helps the homeless, gives criminals jobs so they can get their life straight, he is like the complete opposite of our billionaires.

Read this comic if you want to see the real Batman at the end:

Sure. But he's close enough with a guy who is personally about .3*.7=one fifth responsible for global emissions, and apparently hasn't thought to confront him about it until now?

99% sure that wasn't from an official Batman comic.

When Batman was created no-one even knew the term climate change...

Again, it's a fucking comic ffs

Which is a more fun story to read, billionaire fights cool and wacky crime villains or billionaire solves climate crisis?
