The problem with Batman (COMEDY)



You know what I don't like about comic book heroes is the message they send and we don't even realize it. Ok, you think I'm talking bullcrap now?
That's because you love Superman, you love Batman, you love Wonder-Woman. And know you why? Because, you love to hate something simple.
Some people in America have the "Batman complex" and try to save something that may not even exist. Ok, first of all, Batman doesn't leave Gotham...that's what old men who doesn't want to go anywhere does. He could fight crime all over the world, but he doesn't give a f*ck.

Batman stayed in Gotham so long, that other cities in America had to get their own super heroes.
And another thing, let's say what mostly men are thinking when they have the "Batman Complex", they want to be the rich guy who puts on a pretty little outfit and drive around town punching poor people in the face.
That's exactly what costumed douchebags are doing in the comic books.

Wonder Woman was raised on an island full of women and there was no war. But, she got on her invisible plane 'cause she heard you can punch poor people in the face and she never went back.
Aquaman lives in the bottom of the sea, every now and then, he comes up from the ocean to punch poor people in the face.

Spider-man is alright. He's middle class, he works a middle class job, he has a middle class girlfriend, and goes around punching poor people in the face. But, he does it 'cause "with great power, comes great responsibility". Now see, right there the comic book is telling you Spider-Man has a responsibility to punch poor people in the face.


Punisher is the same as Batman. You know he's rich 'cause how else can a Vietnam vet with PTSD travel around everywhere with guns, grenades, and missile launchers without a job to pay for all that sh*t.
So, his family is killed in front of him. And the only way to set things straight in his mind is to punch poor people in the face.
Let's come to the fact that comic book writers don't see a world where fighting crime happens on a primary level. Punisher fights the drug dealer, the drug distributor, the drug cartel, but he's not going to help Colombia build infrastructure between intercontinental trade and combat disease and ethnic strife with non-English speaking civilians...No! That's too much work! Americans don't want to do something complicated.
So, what Punisher does is say "Hey, tell me where Carlos is?".

And we all know what he's going to do to Carlos....he's going to get punched in the face.
