How does the league get it's funding? Donations? Wayne's

>>95034732
Wayne/Queen/Kord(depending on the universe) funding combined with help from Superman Moving and Welding Incorporated.

>>95034732
Wayne shadow banking. It's all that dark money that never gets put on the books

>>95034732
Superman presses Coal into Diamonds, sells them off in the Metropolis Diamond exchange.

>Lowering the value of diamond
Diamond's aren't even valuable, it's all artificial scarcity created by the diamond industry

Throwing free money at places doesn't magically fix the economy.

Now imagine the markup for "diamond created by Superman" would be.

>>95034961
The team formed because of an Alien Invasion.

You do understand that several members of the JL could just CARRY the thing up into space, yes? I mean: Supes, Lantern, Shazam, Manhunter just off of the top of my head could do it SINGLE HANDEDLY.

Likewise multiple JL members have access to alien/future tech that's absurdly advanced ... it's not like they need Waynetech to work out the details.

>If you give money to countries/people that are terrible with money they will become good with money

Superheroes fight injustices Anon, they don't bail out idiots for jollies.

>>95034732
Was there ever any mention of what happened to this thing by the time of Batman Beyond?

>>95035101
For that matter, how the hell did the Justice League go from dozens, if not hundreds, to like...five?

>>95034982
Every diamond has a small S written using heat vision.

>>95035430
And what about the kids? Shouldn't Captain Marvel be the biggest guy since Superman is old?

>>95034970
>Throwing free money at places doesn't magically fix the economy.

No but throwing free power water and food at them sure would help

>>95035814
Not if the governments get butthurt or steal all the resources before they're given to the people. Superheroes walk a fine line, though sometimes I think they should take down bad countries and make them good. Imagine if Golden Age Superman had Silver Age Superman's power level. What would he do?

>>95035430
Apparently, there was some crisis by ra's al ghul.
And perhaps the Justice League also turned to more interstellar affairs.

>>95035814
No, it fucking hurts them. If a poor country gets free food, their agriculture industry is fucking destroyed. Why would anyone buy a sack of flour from their local farmer when they can get it free (or at least cheaper) thanks to a UN program. So farmers stop plowing fields and the entire country enters a situation where it is impossible for them to exist independently.

>>95034774
Wayne publicly funds the League. Nothing shadowy about it.

>>95035814
Temporarily

Give a guy a fish, teach a guy how to fish etc

Good questions! Consult your book of cyberpunk tropes to find out more.

>>95034961
The JLA base is literally the bastion of humanity from threats coming from outer space. Plenty of times they stop threats because it has to go through them to deal damage to Earth.

>>95035911
They're pretty luck that threats always attack from that side of the planet.

>>95035430
Not enough Leaguers had kids I guess

>>95035918
It is more about no sane enemy leaves the strongest opposing force in his backside. They have to go through the league because they can't leave them there unchecked.

>>95035961
What about divide and conquer? Hit hundreds of population centers on the opposite side of the planet, force the JLA to defend rather than attack, and then pick them off one at a time?

>>95036008
>divide and conquer
>against Flash and Superman
What do you think this is, Marvel? Even Injustice Superman (who is pretty nerfed) was able to kill every Parademon, on a full scale invasion, at the same time. Maybe it could be a problem in the DCAU, but there were enough big guys to handle something like that I'd hope.

>>95034847
Diamonds aren't actually that valuable. He could probably create a billion dollar business just spending a few days a year carrying satellites into orbit or digging undersea tunnels or whatever though

>>95036050
I always imagined superman doing stuff like that and them selling/keeping stuff the confiscate from bad guys.

>>95034766

I was just thinking about this. Like, if Superman needed a hundred million dollars for a worthy cause, how hard would it be for him to earn it honestly and legally through some conventional labour performed at very high speeds? Like, go use your X-Ray vision to find a gold claim in international waters and just dig it up and deliver it to some reputable gold dealer in the space of an hour and a half. Or hell, go find an asteroid with rare earth elements which can't be found natively on Earth and just pull it down to earth and hand it to a development firm he trusts. It's weird to me that he doesn't take some spare time now and then to do stuff like that and then donate the money to worthy causes.

>>95035893
I don't think cyberpunk has a rule about legacy characters

>>95034970
If only there were some sort of super powerful organization that could ensure the money actually got to the regular people it was intended to help and wasn't just embezzled by the local strongman in this scenario, a kind of "justice league" if you will

>>95036093
He'd fuck the economy. I know that sounds weird, but it's true. If Superman endorses a "reputable gold dealer" or a "development firm he trusts", then those people get all of the investment capital. Every other company would collapse because their stock prices plummet. And this ripples far beyond the companies themselves. Millions of elderly people could instantly lose their retirement funds because their 401ks are instantly drained due to such dramatic shifts in the investment portfolio supporting them.

>>95036117
Sounds like Social Justice League

Many villains tried that and failed. The most successful villains were always about taking on separate league members by surprise. Then going on with the plan and forcing the survivors to both save people and fight the bad guy off. Of course usually one or more escapes certain death or capture and saves the others and they roll the opposition every time.

>>95034732
All of the above.

>>95036183
He just bought there Wonder Woman from a distance. Diana can see and react to fast moving objects but obviously not with Flash tier speed. I wonder if she could notice Flash touching her at super speed.

>>95035805
Neat.

>>95034732
Fucking Superman can make diamonds out of nothing but dirt.

>>95035101
It blew up and they all died.

The end.

>>95036093
Why would he need hundreds of millions of dollars?

>>95036273
diamonds are actually worthless but the companies that mine them both grossly restrict the market supply to drive up prices and convince everyone their GFs need a shiny rock to inflate demand

>>95034732
mostly wayne but not much really, labour costs are non existent because of superman, GL, MM and flash working on building the machines, any element they need superman can get out of asteroids and turn it into something else in his palms. most shit that bruce should buy are computers and spacecrafts, or rather the materials/parts needed to build them ( which are cheaper than buying a fully assembled plane or rocket ). then the capes, mostly cyborg take care of assembling the parts and so the league has equipment

>>95036093
>go use your X-Ray vision to find a gold claim in international waters and just dig it up
Environmentalists and historians/archaeologists would throw a bitch fit. "muh underwater balance!" "muh historical relics!"
>Or hell, go find an asteroid with rare earth elements which can't be found natively on Earth and just pull it down to earth and hand it to a development firm he trusts
Mining labor unions would throw a bitch bit. "muh pay raise and benefits!"

>>95034982
how would the diamond industry react to that btw?

will they market such diamonds as worthless?

>>95036093

Very hard because Superman wouldn't be paying tax

>>95036503
Yes. Worth less than Cubic Zirconia.

>>95036503
They already do that with factory made diamond, or at least try their best to.

>>95036562
>>95036576

can you imagine funky flashman successfully marketing superman diamonds?

"a physical GOD made this especially for you <insert name here>"


have they made a story about superman trying to stop the african conflict diamond problem by flooding the market with diamonds?

he could probably stop the warlords but then someone new would take their places (rinse and repeat)

>>95036626
Any slightly smarter warlord would probably just go for something else, or any dumber ones would hold his workers hostage.

>>95036503
They could try, but everyone would want the Superman Diamonds anyway.

>>95036460
Yes I know, but much like fiat currency their value still exists on some level.
