Reverse Batman
The Hero You Can Afford
My parents never took me to the theatre as a child.
They weren’t murdered in Crime Alley.
I didn’t inherit a million dollars and an ex-special ops soldier didn’t become my butler slash guardian.
I’ve never adopted a dark persona and took to the shadows to fight crime. That probably has more to do with lack of funds than lack of desire.
I’m also pretty sure what Batman does is highly illegal.
They even reference it several times in the comics. Spiderman too, but I’m a reverse Batman, not a reverse Spiderman.
I do have a rogue’s gallery of villains.
To be fair, they are the same rogue’s gallery that terrorizes everyone’s existence.
The government, cops, capitalism and its extended network of cronies.
My villains are way smarter than Batman’s. Sure the Scarecrow might develop a fear toxin that drag the good people of Gotham into chaos, but my villains have the system on their side.
That’s much more fucked up and difficult to fight.
Batman also refuses to kill any of his villains.
As a reverse Batman you might make an assumption about what that says of me, but I’m not going to comment either way here.
I don’t have the money to afford free speech.
Help me grow my audience!
