You know, I used to think a place like Arkham City couldn’t possibly exist because it’s fiction, but I’ve learned since that comically evil IRL supervillains can and do spring up out of nowhere from time to time.
Honestly, between Batman and iron man, aside from the obvious gadgets that don’t exist, it’s more believable than any other “superhero” story out there. A rich guy dresses up in a costume and beats up “criminals” (the poors) for fun and entertainment, rather than use their vast wealth to fund programs that would actually help society.
Add in a bit of masochism, and that’s basically America in a nutshell.
Beat people when they have no option other than to rob, or steal, just to survive.
