>For Batman: White Knight, writer-illustrator Sean Murphy (The Wake, Punk Rock Jesus) created a version of Gotham with real, modern-day problems, and then let Batman solve them by making him the villain. How? In the comic mini-series' alternate-reality, it's the Joker—cured of his insanity—who sees that Bruce Wayne is just another part of the city's vicious cycle of crime and sets out to stop him.
>"My main goal was to undo the comic tropes while changing Gotham from a comic book city into a real city—a city dealing with everything from Black Lives Matter to the growing wage gap," Murphy says. "[But] rather than write a comic about the wage gap, I gave those ideas to the Joker, who leads a kind of media war against Gotham's elite by winning people over with his potent observations and rhetoric."

yeah
I don't think Bruce is a billionaire through philanthropy, OP
I think he's able to indulge apparently generous acts of philanthropy, while obviously funneling a lot of his money through very shady ports in order to fund his Batman thing
I mean the amounts we'd see a movie Batman spend must be so large that the bribes he's paying alone - getting the money out of his public control but keeping it under his control so it doesn't just get stolen now that nobody can trace it back to him - those bribes would probably keep an FBI taskforce busy for years, and you know all that tech is probably paying out to some shitty, shitty people who are now rich, shitty, shitty people
>but
no buts
he's not an 18th century mill owner making his money from the automatic loomand if he were his looms would most likely be operated 7 days a week by children
he's a modern billionaire; they're all shitbags neck deep in things you'd go to prison for

Been done before. Evil Batman nothing new.
We just only used to have Owlman in pre 85 days.

>wage gap myth
It's already trash because of his liberal autism

Where's Pinochet when you need him? One of the retarded commies is loose

>growing
Fuck off with that wage gap shit. How stupid and uninformed do you have to be to truly believe that shit when most of the time men and women work different jobs and different hours?

Dc lets you write anything. Conserative, liberal, sjw etc.
Wheras Marvel is left wing mostly since Stan Lee. Either progressive or sjw or commie or classical liberalism.

>Billionaire is trying to stop people from dying
>"He's the real villain because if he wasn't rich there would be no crime"
If Batman or any other capeshit hero was written realistically they'd do nothing but beat up blacks all night long.

>cured of his insanity
>still indulges in insane things

Actually he would just be civil and or a cop. Bruce Wayne the bounty Hunter.
No distruping the law in break and entry or illegal interferring though.
Most people aren't villians or heroes just bystanders.

>Batman is evil because he's a billionaire!
>Joker is sane because he's a Social Justice advocate and populist Marxist!
Jesus, it's like the writer stepped out of the Russian Revolution after killing some Kulacs or something.
>Batman has been a hero for decades, constantly saving Gotham City from mad men and murderers. But take away the cape and noble purpose and he's actually a terror—someone capable of causing as much damage as he prevents.
This shit ain't new. This is pretty clearly written by someone who doesn't actually read Batman

Mods, can you please do your job and delete this pointless thread? We don't need two of these.

How do you fuck up such a simple concept, let me have a go at it
>batman is now a totalitarian cunt that bought off all the gangs and shit
>controls all of Gotham with an iron fist using all the villains he bought off
>Joker is fighting him because he's still crazy and doesn't like order or some shit
there, fucking easy, has batman actually using his wealth to be a villain, and doesn't change the joker so much he might as well be a commie you found under a bridge

Honestly, your version sounds really boring.

It may be a little boring but it makes way more sense. What the cunt is trying to write is pretty much a BATMAN IS DRUMPF JOKER GOOD QUIRKY JOURNALIST FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE story which is infinetly worse.

>waging a war against a billionaire who wants to help people

Good to see Joker is still the villain.
