What if bruce wayne was poor

And what i love is that he didn't become Batman, he became The Bat Man if that makes any sense. Great take on it. RobC Registered. Joined: Jan 7, Messages: 1, Likes Received: 0. Meh, Batman without the money is like Spider-Man without the radioactivity It wouldn't work. Bruce Wayne is Batman because he can afford to be.

I've got a weird British version of a Batman comic where him and Superman are time travelling to important events in their past for some reason.

Batman stops the murder and in the 'real' world Ra's takes over and enslaves everyone. It was kinda weird It's a really odd story Joined: Dec 28, Messages: 19, Likes Received: 11, Yurka Let The Games Begin! Joined: May 30, Messages: 19, Likes Received: 2. However, Bruce has used Wayne Enterprises to help the needy and provide an opportunity for the financially unsteady to succeed.

As an adoptive father, Bruce has given a home to Jason Todd, who was in a desperate situation prior to becoming the second Robin.

By fighting criminals and sending them to Arkham Asylum, Bruce has further stigmatized mental health. Timothy Mably is a comics news writer for Screen Rant.

He's a self-made billionaire who is an Olympic-level athlete and is ranked as the third smartest man in the world. While he's certainly a respected hero, Holt doesn't have the same kind of prominent place that a Bruce Wayne of any race would have, simply due to his relative real-world obscurity. At the end of the day, Batman and the other heroes in the DC Universe stand for fighting evil where ever it may be and protecting those that cannot protect themselves.

As aspirational champions of justice and truth, they help guide people to be better every day. While not everyone will experience the same tragedy that gave birth to him, Batman exists as a symbol of unwavering courage and bravery in the face of despair. If Bruce Wayne was born a Black man, he would have had to face the same challenges that the hero traditionally faces, although he would so so with far more public scrutiny and the more prejudiced aspects of the civilian population and the GCPD actively rooting against him.

While his parents' wealth and social status would have given him some privilege, even they would not be enough to protect a Black Bruce Wayne from systemic racism. To have Bruce Wayne himself be born Black is fundamentally different than having David Zavimbe or Tim Fox take up the mantle as Batwing, characters who are, by their derivative nature, side characters in a white man's story.

A Black Bruce Wayne negates the problems that arise with those characters by making one of the cornerstones of the DC Universe a person of color. In terms of representation, that would be huge win, making Batman an even more aspirational figure.

While the image of a Black Batman saving Gotham from the Joker or jumping down from the shadows to save citizens would be strong in their own right, Batman's commitment to his cause and sense of justice would be the same, and that selfless commitment to protecting others is what defines Batman far more than his race, privilege, or anything else.
