When Batman debuted in comics in 1939, his alter-ego Bruce Wayne was made a billionaire to explain how he had the remote location Batcave, the Batmobile, all kinds of technological wonders at his disposal, and the free time to fight crime in Gotham City. Readers had no real concept of a billionaire back then, except that they were rich. Now we have plenty of real billionaires in the news, sucking up resources and exerting power over our everyday lives. They give rich people a bad name, which just gets worse when we learn how they came to have more money than many national economies. That knowledge kind of puts a different light on Batman, don't you think? In this short video from Dorkly, Batman's usual nemeses -the Joker, the Riddler, Two-Face, and Mister Freeze- realize who the real villain is. The story is only 2:40; the rest is an ad. -via Geeks Are Sexy
