    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.
