Woke as fuck. Pours billions into helping the poor and sickly, spends his genius intellect and superhuman abilities hunting madmen and women who would slaughter millions if possible. Will gladly use violence to stamp out oppressors, doesnt allow himself to be bound by law but also does not murder. Has a code, lives by it. Does good in a city that is literally, and I mean literally, cursed to be evil.

In some timelines actively saves the earth/universe/multiverse by his own damn self. Ain't much more woke possible than "save all of known existence for all variants of all people in all of time and space that can or will ever be."

You've convinced me, Batman for president!

Idk, Lex Luthor makes some awful good points about making Humanity Great Again.

I don't know, Luthor once stole forty cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible

That wasn't canon. I mean, fake news!

[–] neoman4426@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Popularity of memeing on that page was high enough that they did actually reference it in canon a few times which is hilarious. There's a continuity where one of the first times Clark meets Lex is in detention in high school Lex was there for stealing 40 cakes from the bake sale because the school wouldn't approve his fission powered toaster science project

I think Red Son is a good alternative Superman comic on that point.

I heard he was mean to flightless sea birds?

No moral billionares. Philanthropic billionaries act in their own self interest.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He has literally saved all space and time.

Hes a good billionare, which tells you that he is also imaginary.

[–] Lemongrab@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Idk, saving all space and time is self-serving. How else is he going to extract money from the people, conduct stock buybacks to enrichen his shareholders, and recieve gov bailouts

Practically every billionaire is born into the wealth, but they choose to be evil. Batman said fuck that and literally spent his entire fortune fighting corruption and helping the poor. I mean, maybe you could say that because of his pathos that was all still acting in his own best interest. But, what the fuck is wrong with being philanthropic because it makes you feel better?

I like the Orphanage and Mental Health Services funding Batmans best of all. Best version.
