One thing I wish was more explored whenever relationships happen with anyone in the bat brigade is wealth.
Donāt get me wrong. I have seen a couple Timber fanfiction that kind of explore this but usually itās done in my least favorite trope.
Honestly, my problem with that is the same issue. I have with Hallmark movies it always centers around the giving up all of the money all of the prestige in order to get that small town/normal person life.
If you have Bernard telling Tim he needs to go work at bat burger iām tapping the fuck out.
Everyone has already heard my rants about house boats/youāre rich letās not lie.
Do I sometimes not love the whole sugar, daddy bat thing yes but I will always prefer that to- Letās get in a circle and pretend we actually know how much bananas cost!
Have you ever heard the saying about money doesnāt buy happiness? Or whatever thereās a few-
There is almost no problem that cannot be fixed by money. You can even get into the specifics of interpersonal relationship issues or mental health therapy and medication can be purchased with money.
If youāre miserable with $40 billion that is a you problem and itās a choice.
Why we always go back to the everyoneās poor and struggling versus exploring the insanely intricate, rich people bullshit baffles me.
Jason, I think is also a great example of the we really like to lean into the poor thing. Immediately people are about to send me an angry paragraph but just hear me out.
Do you know what is insanely expensive and not easy to acquire if you donāt have money? Weapons.
Sure, some rifles and handguns are cheapish but most likely Jason is either using Colt M1911 or desert eagles. An argument for some a variety of Sig Sauer. ļæ¼
Although I think the colt is kind of debatable and honestly, the desert eagle too are more of looking at a comic panel and trying to place what it could be.
* Slightly off-topic, but I donāt understand where the belief that itās Jericho comes into play, but thatās a whole other rant!
Weāre also running to hold the issue that so many firearms came after he was originally written holding a gun so once again comic book logic.
I got off-topic, but these arenāt cheap. His assault rifles are not cheap. Never mind that everything has to be customized. Weāve seen him literally have like painted guns, even the most basic custom work on the cheapest of these firearms would be bare minimum four grand. Do I think he might steal some shit sure but you donāt just randomly customize firearms or start fucking with shit if you donāt know what youāre doing.
There are throwaway lines in fics about Jason bitching that ammo isnāt cheap. Any of your gear/weapons would cost thousands even millions of dollars.
Do you think you can find Kevlar in the bargain bin?
Special tools are required to work with certain materials or say melt down to make bird/bat themed throwing shit.
Every single vigilante suit I donāt care if itās the littlest robin costume to Batmanās full decked out gear cost millions of dollars.
In conclusion from my long ass rant where I got very distracted, thinking of the of weapons you cannot make poor vigilantes unless youāre doing Peter Parker Level bullshit.
