Billionaires and the climate

"Ivy, you know who I am at this point. Let me attest that most of these people don't actually do shit. There are layers of layers of management and shareholders that allow the average generational wealth billionaire to extract extreme amounts of wealth without doing shit. That's honestly a good thing in your case, because anyone who actually has the ability to make obscene money in this universe is either a superhero or supervillain, and you would have just walked into their secret hideout.

If you do kill him, the best case scenario is a collection of hedge funds you never heard of divy up his controlling shares and keep business as usual flowing. The worst case is Luthor buys the company and makes everything a million times worse as step one in a convoluted plan to kill superman via kryptonite laced micro plastics. The most likely thing is one of those technically secret society orgs seizing control because at this point they just need some win. My money is on the Owls. They've been humiliated so many times they've been officially downgraded to "community advisory committee".

I honestly don't even understand where this is coming from. You and Freeze both have blank checks from both WayneTech and Star Labs to continue your research. Either of you alone could reverse large portions of climate change. If you really wanted to go the vigilante route, you could have just mind controlled him. Darksied is planning an invasion, there are no less than three evil AIs rolling around, I'm dealing with two separate split personalities, and I haven't heard from the Joker in a while which means we're all probably fucked. Even if I did notice, it would take me literal years to get around to actually fixing it. It feels like you are doing this because on some level you want to fail, because that's easier than doing the hard work required to fix the systemic abuses of our system "

"...So I take it the Therapy's working, huh Bruce?"

"Sort of. It's Batman".

"Actually technically right now you're Nightwing. Care to explain that?"

"It's a long story. The short of it is that I'm pulling double duty because Dick somehow forgot how to fucking Jump and Jason took Damien out for "Beer and Cigarettes", which I can only hope is literal because anything it would be a metaphor for would involve no less than two dozen corpses.".

"Jesus Christ and Harley said I was carrying too much stress. I'll come back next week, get some rest Bruce"

"Batman"

"Nightwing "

"...."

Batman is the bad guy and I will die on that hill.

7 years? That's a pretty old meme. We have already done irreparable damage and we could only mitigate it at this point.

Batman would rather beat up and cripple poor people who fell into crime from their situation, instead of actually doing something about it. After decades, Gotham ends up worse than when he got in, and the criminals just got crazier. He made it worse.

Killing the billionaire doesn't change anything. Someone else will take his place and continue the destruction.

Bruce Wayne has pushed for good environmental changes using his influence.

I'm tired of these idiotic memes made by people who have no idea about Batman.

Only fine thing about this meme is Poison Ivy 🥵

this could have been a great thread to talk about what we should really be doing to these billionaires and their companies, and you nerds just descended into batman lore.

She says "let me kill that billionaire" but it doesn't look like he's in a position to prevent her.

I feel that as climate change and the environment more generally become increasingly pressing issues it's hard to see the plant lady as a villain

Idk I'm just fixated on Ivy here

How much does the other guy in the room own?

I'm with Ivy all the way but at the end of the day, the CEO position will just be replaced by another suit.

Critical support to poison ivy only because she's trying to engage with batman in good faith when he's the same kind of planet destroying ghoul as every other billionaire

If she kills Batman and that other billionaire? Uncritical support, I stan an eco warrior

If you have mind control smells and that billionaire, why kill him? Make him into a class traitor.

Batman is also a billionaire; fuck that guy

Yeah psychopaths are cool 99% of the time. But as usual its that 1% fucking it up for the rest

These stats about the 100 largest companies get posted a lot, and once again, it's not meaningful because those companies exist to provide goods for other people. It's like saying just 100 entities (who all happen to be water utilities) consume 90% of the world's water so individual attempts to reduce water usage are meaningless.

I heard this in Will Arnett's voice.

ACAB includes batman. Pretty much all masked vigilantes are worse, in fact. Batman is at no risk of losing his job over police brutality. Batman brutality is just... Expected. And the police just let him do it!

The most interesting, likeable, intelligent, philosophical and relatable characters in the Batman universe are the supposed villains.

I never really enjoyed Batman.... I always liked everyone else that were his enemies.

Turn him into a vagitarian. He'll die happy

Ivy should have talked with Jason instead of Bruce.

I love that OP’s username is A Cool Dude

And here we are buying all their shit. Another dress, yes sure, why not? Another gadget with rounded corners at a premium price, yes of course, take my money! More chocolate harvested by children won't hurt me, GIVE IT TO ME! You mean to say this waste of material will make me popular? I want 10 of them! I can buy 100 of these and waste them in a video for clout, well that's right up my alley. I'll take 1000!

BTW, don't forget, I can't help out here, it's the billionaires to blame for providing me access to all this.

Seven years eh?
