Fart Dumbass posted:I like the idea that the subtext of batman is that everyone loving knows it's bruce wayne but he's a billionaire so of course they don't do poo poo about it. pulling up in his limo in poorsville and beating the poo poo out of anyone who likes is exactly what he does to the letter, the batmobile is the nicest car he owns and definitely the most expensive too. probably as long as a limo also yeah, basically its just bruce wayne living out his vigilante fantasy in his terrorized domain like a medieval lord. behind the masks and gettups, the material reality of gotham is that wayne industries is a dominant economical entity, which translates into very real political power. the joker is basically just a court fool - a reliable social pressure valve, which allows criticism of the lord in a way which doesn't actually threaten the socio-political structure at all. observe all the times the joker has rightfully called out batman's hypocrisy, while simultaneously combining said criticism with some far-fetched scheme batman inevitably foils. it's purely ceremonial, a play to confirm and solidify bruce wayne's iron grip on his fiefdom. |
