[–]JOcean13 43 points44 points ago

Bruces father had money to allow Bruces intellect to foster. Imagine if his parent's weren't rich and they were murdered. How would he provide for himself at a grand scale like that? How would he meet Lucius Fox, who built most of his equipment?

Also, Iron Man. If his father was not a genius and learned all these technical abilities and had money, how would of Tony Stark ever known about the reactor core? Tony would never of had that kind of environment around him. He never would have had shrapnel in his chest and needed to become Iron Man.

The fact is being born into money and an intelligent, well-to-do family helped mold them into who they were. They still had to choose to sacrifice to become a hero, but if they weren't born into money, they would have most likely never had that opportunity.

[–]holynorth 6 points7 points ago

It all started somewhere. One of Starks/Waynes ancestors were one of the "smarter" ones who were able to get ahead financially.

[–]ethanlan 9 points10 points ago

[–]Asks_Politely 1 point2 points ago

There are definitely ridiculously smart poor people, but unless the person is banking off of an inheritance, or were given money in another way, they're pretty smart. So it once again goes back to holy's point. At some point, someone needed to make that money.

[–]ethanlan 4 points5 points ago

...you don't need to be super-smart to get rich. sometimes ruthlessness and/or luck can make dumb people stupid rich.

[–]Asks_Politely 1 point2 points ago

Very rarely does that happen, and when it does, they usually don't stay rich for long.

Ruthlessness isn't really proving your point either. If you're overly ruthless that doesn't mean you're also smart. In a way, it could mean you're even smarter when it comes to making money.

[–]C_sharp138 2 points3 points ago

All very true, but give the best iron man suit or all the fancy gadgets in the world to a cast member from the Jersey Shore and they'd just blow themselves up (if we're lucky). The money gave them opportunities, the brains is what makes them able to utilize them.

there are lots of stupid ppl with lots of money. what batman had was motivation.

[–]educatedconsumer 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, cause Tony Stark could've made that suit from several trips to the city dump, and Bruce Wayne doesn't need the Batmobile when he can just rig a shopping cart to go really fast....

Fooling yourself only here.

[–]NijaSkills 2 points3 points ago

That's kind of what Stark did with the first suit...

[–]only_temporary 1 point2 points ago

The first suit was little more than a glorified Ned Kelly shield.

Just realised something... In the movies nobody ever calls him 'shellhead'. That's a shame.

[–]JOcean13 4 points5 points ago

Not really. Lucius Fox developed most of Batman's stuff, and he works for his father's corporation (Money). Plus, he has to pay for research, equipment, and facilities.

Tony Stark's father was a genius and built a corporation first. Tony was lucky enough to have a father who provided him with a nurturing, intellectual environment, surrounded by the latest technology no other child really had a chance to see. So being born into money had it's privilege. He worked hard but he's fueling the fire his father built.

[–]gmb0044 7 points8 points ago

Batman's best asset comes from his foresight and detective skills. His gadgets may not all be fully developed by him (depending on what version you read), but his ingenuity and creativity is unmatched.

[–]TacoSunday69 0 points1 point ago

Not exactly, It's an armor suit that greatly increases batman's strength but provides hardly any protection from superman. You can find it in the final chapter of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. Pretty good read, definitely recommend it.

[–]rasputine 42 points43 points ago

But these men would have been amazing without the money, just maybe not super so young.

Tony Stark built the mark I in a cave, as it were, with a box of scraps. The money helped him prototype faster, but he was a genius.

Batman was a detective who shit-kicked his enemies. He may have had trouble getting war-zone-ready costumes, tanks and helicopters, but he would have still been thrashing bad guys like they were infants.

[–]Cannibal_Moshpit 13 points14 points ago

[–]servohahn 5 points6 points ago

Batman also went to super secret ninja assassin training school. I mean, that's like 90% of his abilities right there. His gadgets and stuff are cool but all the disappearing from plain sight and ultra kung fu is what really makes him able to be a hero.

[–]cody_au 6 points7 points ago

But he grew up the son of a super rich and intelligent father. Probably no expense was spared in his education and he even based his chest reactor on his father's own arc reactor work.

He didn't create himself. He's a product of nepotism and rich-person's privilege. His father, though, is a different story.

[–]rasputine 5 points6 points ago

If all you're going on is the film, you could make a half-assed point to that end, sure.

But the films aren't the only source, aren't expositional enough to support your argument very far, and still demostrate that he's brilliant.

Tony Stark is a genius. That is what his character is about.

[–]SicilianEggplant 4 points5 points ago

I think the argument is that if money weren't involved via the parents, then each might have ended up going to public school and not being able to afford college.

Hell, if the Waynes weren't so rich, Bruce would have ended up in a shitty foster home.

[–]JOcean13 1 point2 points ago

Yes, he's a genius but his father was a genius and rich. So he benefited from not having to worry about food, and had a good home and a good family. This allowed him to focus solely on learning and building great things. It's Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Without the money and resources his father provided him with, he would of not been able to focus solely on his education and would of most likely take longer to become Iron Man or maybe never at all.

[–]cbarland 4 points5 points ago

Just because someone comes from a rich family doesn't mean that they can't be credited for their success. Plenty of rich kids become failures due to their lack of talent. And plenty of successful people attribute their success to overcoming their struggles early in life with money, family or health.

[–]JOcean13 1 point2 points ago

A kid with motivation and talent born into a caring, well-to-do family has a higher chance of success than a kid with motivation and talent born into a poor, uncaring family. Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark both could have still been Batman and Iron-Man if they weren't born into rich families but the bottom line is the money helped with equipment, education, networking (Lucius Fox). Iron Man's core to become Iron Man was designed by his father.

[–]Piemonkey 2 points3 points ago

And Superman happened to be born of a completely different species. What's the point of pointing any of this out?

[–]shmed 1 point2 points ago

Of course money is a factor in this. However, there's plenty of rich people in the Marvel universe (and in our universe too). However, being rich definietely isnt a factor enough to become a super hero. Tony Stark became a super hero because yes he is rich, but mostly because he's a genius.

[–]JOcean13 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, but without the money he would have never had that choice. I know plenty of people who are smart and could build a suit and fight crime but one thing is missing. The money to provide yourself for all the equipment, suit, housing, transportation, ammunition, servers, and all the amount of coding and software engineers you would need to do to build a program like Iron-Man has with Jarvis. Shit, Apple is the richest company in the world and all they have is Siri, who isn't even close to Jarvis.

[–]OneBigBug 2 points3 points ago

That's because Apple engineers aren't Tony Stark.

Tony Stark is written in most forms of the character to have done all that himself. He's a genius on a level which does not even come close to existing in the real world. And he's not even close to the smartest character in the Marvel universe.

Hell, look at Spider-man. Still not the smartest character in the Marvel universe. He invented web fluid by himself in his aunt's house with relative ease. Dead broke all the time. I'll admit that my materials engineering is pretty weak, but I'm pretty sure inventing a material that is both super strong, and can be stored in mass quantities in your wrist, and can degrade quickly over time, and can be made from easily accessible materials in large quantity all in the time that it takes to otherwise become acclimated to having super powers requires a level of genius that just has never existed.

These fictional characters weren't just luckier than you and me, they are better than anyone on the real earth has ever been. On what would have to be a genetic level. A significant one. Not just experience and education.

[–]shmed 1 point2 points ago

So you just proved that even though Apple is the richest company in the world (probably richer than Tony Stark as an individual), couldnt even come close to what Tony Stark did. So since it's not the money they are lacking, I guess its probably the second factor, Tony's genius.

[–]cody_au 1 point2 points ago

I am going solely on the movies.

IMHO the genius characters are the bad guys who grew up dirt poor and somehow manage to almost destroy Iron Man with the strength of their resolve alone. Like the whip guy in Iron Man 2.

[–]rasputine 0 points1 point ago

Whiplash didn't grow up poor.

TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE!
WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAPS!

[–]dahappybanana 14 points15 points ago

You could argue that the money both of these superheros have enabled them to foster their intellect and abilities more than most people would be able to. You wouldn't be wrong, but both Batman and Iron Man are extremely intelligent, and innovative. They still both utilized their money to the greater good, at physical risk to themselves. Neither of these characters possess anything super human, they are not impervious to injury or death, nor do they have enhanced regenerative ability. They are the best superheroes because they can be killed.

[–]BigBoss1935 2 points3 points ago

While this is true, the heroes without money suffer problems too. One of the reasons I liked the Spider-man films was because it showed that Spider-man was always struggling financially, and he had to sacrifice his personal life. Just because he has super powers doesn't mean he isn't sacrificing anything. Peter Parker is always brilliant but in the films he sacrifices study (the whole brilliant but lazy) that could very well take him out of his financial troubles. With bad guys that are just as strong as him, if not stronger, he is always in danger as well.

[–]scorpion347 1 point2 points ago

And he can die.

[–]Elsanti -2 points-1 points ago

I don't see batman turning out well being born in africa, and abandoned. Is his intellect so great he can survive without parents as an infant?

[–]WhackAttack 3 points4 points ago

If you read the comics batman is actually a genius.

[–]Elsanti 0 points1 point ago

Yes, and a genius infant is still fairly dumb. Also, incapable of feeding themselves and fending off rats that want to eat them.

[–]WhackAttack 4 points5 points ago

You have no sense of adventure do you :(

[–]alphazero924 1 point2 points ago

That's like asking if Superman would still be Superman if he were born a black girl in Harlem. Clearly not because we're changing literally everything about the character. If however Bruce Wayne were born in Gotham and raised poor before his parents were killed when he was 8, he probably would have turned out mostly the same but with less kick-ass gadgetry since his being rich had little to nothing to do with his training and intellect.

[–]scorpion347 0 points1 point ago

are we sure that was never written? If not we should deffenitly get that written.

[–]matsyes 1 point2 points ago

You are making a strawman argument. Not being a 8 year old rich orphan does not mean being an abandoned infant in Africa. Also Tarzan.

[–]StupidFatHobbit 4 points5 points ago

Actually this is a lot of the reason why I prefer Batman + Iron Man to almost any other super hero. Because underneath all their armor, they're just men. They're not invincible like Superman, they can't fly or have super strength without technology aiding them. Remove their armor and they may be well-trained, intelligent men, but they'll both still fall to a single bullet. They rely on their wits and their tools to survive. They weren't born superheroes, they made themselves into superheroes.

Superman on the other hand, is a gigantic fucking pussy.

Batman would still be able to kick someone's ass if he lost all of his money.

Hand to hand combat, batman would win, with or without his suit, simply because he is so well-trained.

Iron man would not necessarily be able to fight if he was poor.

He would still be incredibly intelligent, but without weapons he is nothing.

Bruce Wayne's body is a weapon.

To be fair, much of Dark Knight Rises focuses on the idea of who Batman is WITHOUT his toys, or even without his strength (him being crippled and whatnot). A great deal of it was focused on his mental strength and strategy. He fights most of his enemies with hand-to-hand combat, after all.

There isn't anything super about Iron Man he's still just a man who uses machines to do what he thinks is right. He may be a genius, but being smart isn't a super power. I know in the comics he develops something close to super powers (and I believe we'll see that in the next movie).

Plenty of people for ordinary means make their own future on a daily basis. If you are bitching about how fictional people are only geniuses because they had a good fictional education then holy shit get a grip. No genius goes unnoticed because they didn't have a prestigious education. Argue all you want but true genius always perseveres and is not made by a pampered education.

I'm sorry for ranting. But shit. I'm a pretty passive guy and I feel like the biggest Alpha-Fucking-Male on the planet after reading all the whiny bitch comments on here.

I'll say it every time, The only thing keeping Bruce Wayne out of Arkham is his money. If Batman were poor he would be locked up with the other loonies in masks.
