You're aware he is a CEO of a company?
I thought Lucius Fox was the CEO. Bruce Wayne is chair of the board.
Depends on the particular telling I think. DC has IIRC gone both ways with that.
Huh, maybe. Although my point was more batman is part of that class (albeit begrudgingly) so expecting batman in a position of great power and influence to actively take that from other people is just very hypocritical. Not that he shouldn't (or someone shouldn't). Just a very weird position.
In Batman Beyond, Batman's nemesis is a CEO. He's a villain called Blight, who killed Batman's father.
Yeah, but in that Batman is basically Spider-Man with ex-Batman as a mentor.
He's still Batman. He does detective stuff, doesn't have superpowers, Gotham is appropriately grimdark, etc. Terry doesn't have to learn that with great power comes great responsibility like Peter does. The only similarity is that he's a working class wisecracking teenager with a somewhat agility based fighting style. Peter Parker was never a burly hoodlum before he got his powers, and he doesn't see being a superhero as a way to make up for mistakes he made as a normal. He also didn't steal his powers. Terry is a much more mature and slightly darker character than Peter at the start of his journey. He's not an academically minded geek, he's someone who's experienced the real world and understands it. He's got street smarts, he can fight, and he can lie.
