You’ve been punching criminals for decades now it’s clearly not solving the problem.

You suck at stopping crime, Batman.

      Imagine a Batman story from the “bad guys” perspective where all the “bad guys” were only trying to do things like feed their children/steal insulin for their family members because of a capitalist hellscape.

        I would like capeshit a lot more if there was a proletarian superhero. The story could be about an Amazon worker who is forced by Jeff Bezos to be a test subject in his project to genetically engineer the perfect warehouse worker. But the experiment goes wrong, instead of subjecting the worker to union busting propaganda, he gets exposed to an extensive library of revolutionary theory and becomes The Red Star, who uses his superhuman speed and strength to fight capitalism.

    it’s leftist hack to say, but if Batman redistributed his wealth into the community, villains like the Penguin and Falcones wouldn’t have a quarter of their control, and if Batman made public healthcare possible, perhaps even the more maniacal villains like Joker and Riddler wouldn’t exist.

        He wanted to become a game designer, but a lack of ethics in game journalism made him cynical and bitter and drove him to a life of crime (radical feminist SJWs destroyed his lifelyhood just for making a puzzle-based lolicon dating simulator).
