He compensate through huge donations( he did literally rebuild Gotham public infrastructure by himself once) but yeah, he's still fucking with the law, but again he's using freaking tanks and planes, he's always breaking a fucking lot of serious laws thought his vigilante life.
Mason Brooks
even if wayne did pay taxes he would still be a horrible unlikable parasite. batman as a character hinges on the reader's lack of knowledge about basic economics or wage labor.
If I stole your wallet containing $100 and I mercifully gave you $20 so you could buy a new wallet, that doesn't make me a good person.
Kayden Jones
Not a good analogy since by canon numbers those donations have to most of his fortune.
Hunter Wilson
Stop hating capitalism.
Logan Richardson
Isaac Carter
What comic ? Also isn't the Martian Manhunter rich as fuck cause he can turn sand into gold ?
Dominic Anderson
I miss Selina being fun and sexy instead of a generic marie sue strong wyman
Leo Anderson
>Bats commits tax evasion
Ok now I will root for him
Ryan Bennett
This page is in character tho, she was always quite competent and professional while Black Cat is more of a horny womanchild.
Alexander Peterson
Incidentally, this issue also establishes that Bruce Wayne has ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS in these offshore accounts.
Nathan Ross
A lot of big companies have off shore tax havens and yet still get tax refunds from the government, effectively getting paid taxes instead of paying taxes. Bruce at least funnels a large chunk of his money into charitable donations and helping Gotham's infrastructure.
Josiah Cook
How Rich is Lex Luthor then? Afair his fortune was stated to be considerably bigger than Bruce.
Isaiah Moore
That would make Bruce Wayne the second richest man in the world, behind only Jeff Bezos. How the fuck did he make that much money? What does Wayne Enterprises even do? Can you imagine being an employee there and finding out just how much your boss makes?
Dominic Lopez
Batman goes around torturing union organizers. Gotta keep wagie in his cagie.
Caleb Ward
>What does Wayne Enterprises even do?
Bruce Wayne is a real estate mogul, his father testament, his obsession with protecting Gotham economy, his public donations and knowledge of Gotham intraestructure including parts not even the goverment knows etc.
Levi Thompson
yikes, no. Lex is not as rich as Bruce. His company was even bought out a few times
Jason Rivera
He had to wait Luthor go bankrupt to do that, Luthor Corps is constantly trying to buy the Wayne Enterprises.
Luis Wood
>Sorry, but paying for my 10 new Batmobiles is more important than raising your wages to keep up with the rising costs of living.
Caleb Clark
Why is anybody suprised by this. Of course he has secret accounts. He's Batman.
Bentley Cruz
She fucks up big time in this comic by accidentally handing Joker the money.
Julian Myers
...and always failing.
Jonathan Hall
Nobody makes that much money without fucking a lot of people over.
Noah Ortiz
The hell is going on with supermans legs here?
Kevin Carter
>Bruce commits fraud to be a hero
And so does Ted Kord and Oliver Queen. Are you new? Plus I think Luthor is better at tax fraud
Liam Bell
>paying taxes is ethical
Leo Cruz
Taxes pay for public goods that everybody, including billionaires, benefits from.
Carson Torres
He has 100 billion dollars in his accounts. He is clearly not giving that much back to his community.
Kevin Wilson
Just wait 5-8 years. They'll do an SJW Batman who explicitly pays all his taxes, doesn't let Wayne Enterprises store taxes offshore, operates the Wayne Foundation as a super-PAC to lobby for a stronger social safety net, and doesn't beat up black criminals, only white ones.
Jace Peterson
>black
You mean Black, right?

Paying taxes is moral, not ethical. What always gets people up in arms about taxes is what they're used for, and how that determines how much is levied on you.
Grayson Morris
What does Luthorcorp even do? Like, we see in various storylines that Wayne Enterprises is a big, multi-industry conglomerate running real estate, military hardware, genetics labs, etc. Is Luthorcorp just a similar but smaller rival?
Michael Russell
LAND! it's the one thing theyre not making any more of
Evan Adams
taxation is a theft
Leo Foster
Aerospace engineering is their main field but they apparently merged with several defense companies.
It looks like the company is essentially focused on developing earth defence against alien threats specially Kryptonians.
Angel Allen
Wait 6 months and we'll get one of those special morality tale issues where
>Batman goes around fighting crime
>Beats up a black gangster, suddenly he dies
>Consumed with guilt as mobs riot in Gotham over Batman brutality
>Puts on a white Batsuit to show he's not mocking black people by dressing in black
>Declares he will work to fight systemic racism, unconscious racism, and make the world a fairer and more just place for the most desperate among us
>Goes to Washington and punches out the president
Kayden Myers
Isn't Lexcorp the ones funding Starlabs? They're into all the sciences and licensing patents while Wayne Ent. is more about real estate, manufacturing Lexcorp tech, and financial operations.
Andrew Reyes
>They'll do an SJW Batman who explicitly pays all his taxes, doesn't let Wayne Enterprises store taxes offshore
THIS is SJW now?
Adam Bennett
sounds based, who would ever want to pay Gotham's officials
*paying* taxes is, *collecting* them isn't
Aaron Myers
It's always been SJW because it's pure virtue-signalling. Instead of just assuming Wayne Enterprises is above-board, throwing in 2 pages of text about how Wayne Enterprises is a Good™ Corporate™ Ally™ is pure SJW.
