mmm if you give me some time. i could probably write a post along the lines of "the rich do not know how to reform society for the better even if they tried (and they've tried. and failed.) + the origin of the billionaire philanthropist myth" in a historical analysis of where the ideas that build up bruce's character have come from. but literally no one is interested in that but me

#mr wayne you are such an easily historically deconatructed character #WHY do i always love more to talk about the historic processes that gave rise to #an idea in fiction #and less about the fiction itself #IT'S SO FUNNY THOUGH be the rich philanthropist idea in the west has a historical origin #that is actually easy to pinpoint #or easier than usual5 #because it was a deliberate idea injected by the late medieval burgeoisie
