Growing up my favorite hero boy was Batman, but its getting really hard to appreciate a character whos main premise is “I’m a billionaire that beats up poor people in a capitalist hellscape because I don’t have a healthy way to deal with my personal trauma”.

Is there any saving him or is there a version of batman that can exist inside of a left narrative? Maybe there’s an existing comic that has tackled this problem, but I’m not really deep into the…ahem…literature.

Maybe Ninja Batman?

    “but this has started to infringe on individual liberties, and Superman is fast becoming a Big Brother-like figure. A brain surgery technique that turns dissidents into obedient drones, or “Superman Robots,” is in use.”

    :chumpsky: Randomly inserting anti communism because otherwise your stuff won’t get printed is the worst. Also mentioning :1984: on the wiki is cringe libshit.
