Comment on Do "rich" superheroes have to be rich in order for the story to work?
Goodeye8@piefed.social 3 weeks agoDepends on how accurately you want to stick to Batman. If all the gadgets and batcave are necessary then yes, he need to be rich. If it’s just the physical and mental capabilities then he doesn’t need to be rich because he’ll just be Rorschach.

I thought part of the legend was that his parents were killed but they had arranged for him to be cared for and educated, probably at a level that the average orphan can’t get anywhere near. Plus there’s all that physical training that he has to do all the time. Like in this story he (at one point) beats the crap out of Harry Potter even though Potter is an Auror with tons of magical combat tricks. I’m unfamiliar with Rorschach so can’t compare.
