- Being Batman is all fun and games until you ask: Who is paying for all this? But when you get down to it, paying out of pocket to be Batman isn't that big of a deal for Bruce Wayne.

The IRS would have known who he was.
Considering he saves Gotham A LOT of money which results in MORE tax income for the IRS they don't care
You think some that rich is paying taxes lol
Mr. I.M. Batman
I'm Batman!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This analysis is pre-Batman Inc lol.
This is actually why The Penguin and Two Face tend to be important villians in the Batman Mythos, as they represent political corruption. Sure Bruce Wayne can (And does) donate money to solve the cities various problems, but that money is than stolen by corrupt officials. This was literally the main plot of the last Batman film.
When I was living in LA I vote on a bill in 2016 that would give 1 billion to help the homeless find homes. Come to find out there where 100's of people who worked for "non-profits" that made $250k a year from the "non-profits" that just ate through that money. The homeless received little to no benefit from that one billion. My tax dollars at work. Payed 100's of people $250k a year to distribute what little money was left over after they took there salaries out of it.
Wait... what Batman film did you watch? Unite the 7, or The Long Halloween/Year One in a blender?
@@williamparker2922 NGO's are often like that unfortunately. That's why supporting more local grassroots groups is better
In the comics, he tried multiple times to donate his way to saving Gotham and even financing "good politicians" it never worked. Either because other rich people were financing the Crime (Court of Owls) or these good politicians ended up being corrupted. People forget his enemies are also just as resourceful and or straight-out insane. Also Bane and League of Shadows aren't even from Gotham so no amount of him investing in Gotham would have prevented them from doing evil.
Would be cool if there was a storyline where Batman funds a candidate that genuinely seems to be great and makes a ton of promises about fixing Gotham but when they get into office they just don't do anything lmao. Like in real life...
On the other hand any time the Comics showed a Gotham that never had a Bruce Wayne or Batman things were worse that Al Capone Chicago. Waynetech funds public hospitals, orphanages, charities and is a heavy employer in Gotham. Without Bruce none of that happens.
This is the comment we needed but not the comment we deserved.
“If you wanna yell at me about Batman… don’t.”
I love you Britt Migs
that got a good laugh out of me. ::)
There are a significant number of people who feel solving a problem isn't satisfying if somebody's ass doesn't get kicked. It's the kickin', not the fixin' that serves up the umami of justice, sadly.
There's been plenty of times in movies cartoons and comics he funds stuff to help the city. Bruce sponsors a childrens home and does all kinds of charities. He's at a charity dinner in almost every movie. Bruce wayne is known as a philanthropist
they are just tax write offs for someone with that kind of money
Batman the animated series: twice he gives a job to a arkam inmate after they are declared sane. He buys Harley the dress she wanted after she is spoked and walks out with the tag on.
Comics: he funds and helps out the wane founday soup kitchen
Hospitals: he funds80% of all bills
The batman cartoon comic: walks into black masks base as plays a tape where Bruce Wayne offers any thug who wants a second chsnc medical and a job at Wayne Indystries so they dint have to fight the batman
Want me to go on?
His personal assets wouldn't help him fund Batman. He needs liquid cash that's laundered to obfuscate his bativities. He's basically using Wayne Enterprises and embezzling from himself.
How?
@@liltony2x823in the dark knight he has fox set up a whole fake wing of the company that’s meant to go to building things for the military but it’s where he gets his money from to be Batman. So his embezzling from his own company
The Batcave is a Natural Cave System that was under Wayne Manor as it was... It just got cleaned up and renovated, not dug out >.>
Batman is John James Bondwick.
I wanna yell at you about Robin.
Who ever wrote this didn't do their research and should be fired, also the person who green-lit this
ok but "Batmath" was right there...
This comment is severely underrated.
It’s a fun calculation, but I find the analysis a little short sighted. The handwaving of what the Wayne Foundation and what Bruce personally does outside of the cape shows that they haven’t read the material. He considers it half of his job, and multiple times the philanthropic efforts of his family were shown to be ineffective by themselves because of the level of corruption. Read No Man’s Land, the Court of Owls or watch the Batman. Batman exists because he has to (in universe). He still spends close to half his waking hours with that part of his persona’s work (humanitarianism).
And as Bruce and Batman, he is literally holding the infrastructure of the city together. Like, the power grid is failing and he’s going in regularly and doing emergency patches to keep people’s heat on.
The war on crime isn’t against street level crime, it’s against the mob. It’s against a conspiracy that is keeping Gotham sick for its own ends and profits. Throwing money at infrastructure will end up in their hands without Batman.
Wayne Enterprises is closer to Blackrock than Apple.
Apple is as Blackrock as Blackrock.
Compared to the comics, where he also financed the Watchtower, as well as other BILLIONS on possibly keeping criminals on the streets...😊
Love these. Keep it up!!
I have been going though a withdrawal of cracked video's so, you gave me a fix today.
Do yourself a favor and just watch the videos from like 7+ years ago, when they were actually good.
A fix is a fix. It's like a moment from a cop 1980's movie.
The thing about investing in civic institutions is only said by people who don't pay any attention. Bruce Wayne is ALWAYS at a non-profit fundraiser with all key members of the govt and his business is critical to the local economy and jobs. He punches criminals in his spare time to vent his frustrations, but if you don't think Wayne invests in civic institutions you should try watching one of the TV shows or movies. He flippantly tells his butler to give a reporter a grant. There is an entire Wayne Foundation funding civic institutions.
Surprisingly interesting! More such "deep dives" please 😊
Watch Thought Slime's video on Batman.....also he lives in a universe full of superpowered nasties and space monsters and literal gods, at least in Batman's world being poor isnt your biggest constant worry. Also Batman doesn't go after people stealing food to feed themselves, there's been several stories addressing Batman's response to situations like that. 11:11
This person is the only person who feels like they belong on this channel.
I wonder if mot people even know that Cracked was a magazine first? Probably not.
But it was never as funny as Mad
@@verepainelistens1459 yeah, I'd always pick up both if I could anyway
Can you get all these batman shenanigans out of my slim jim commercial please? 😂
The payment in slim Jims killing me
The problem with this is Gotham City is partly based off Chicago. In Chicago, some legit companies (and sometimes, some government jobs) can still be corrupt as heck there.
My mom literally remembers how you could bribe a past alderman by using an antiques shop because he had his own shelf there. All you'd have to do as a bribe is buy him one of those particular antiques.
As Bruce Wayne he does invest billions into civics projects around Gotham.
Yeah in one comic he literally tells Alfred while he helps the city by investing in its institutions etc no charity can prevent psychopaths like the joker from blowing it up they can only be stopped. That’s not even factoring in that Gotham is literally cursed by a demon.
Forgot funding the justice league including the space station
It’s $799Bn & ,33cents
You forgot about the 33 Cents 😂
Is Cracked now sponsored by SlimJims?
Thanks for bringing them back Jim.
Maybe that is why he needs a Bat Credit Card
Ok, i really like this breakdown of his net worth, its probably the best I've ever seen. That said, it just falls back into the same tired "you can fix problems with money" diatribe rather than acknowledging you cant just throw money into a corrupt system. You just empower and incentivise those preying on the less fortunate. And we see examples of it time and time again in that universe. It's a heck of a lot more complicated than it is here, and that's why he Batmans... He's trying to remove the tumor first so that other methods of treatment can start to work, and he's not even sure if it's possible, but he'll risk his life to try anyway.
That said, i liked this 👍
Batman's iconic opponents are supervillains who don't care about what gets invested in. This "Wayne should just fund stuff" take is lazy on Twitter and here.
The price on those vehicles... Oh! Don't? Okay.
It's not one rich person's responsibility to fund the cities issues. He focuses on crime, like real crime, not the crime of being homeless in a big ass city. He's tried to fund projects etc, but the greedy always take the money. He does still fund many projects that benefit the poor and vulnerable, not just in Gotham, but around the world as well.
With regards to his home, it was inherited and passed down through his family for generations. He had no say in how it was built and obviously keeps the decor as is due to the death of his parents.
Sounds to me like your "cracked" team of researchers need to do a better job of even skimming the details. Really went down the shitter after the whole crew (Michael, Soren, Daniel etc and the other writers) left. All the charisma and wit is gone and cracked is left with garbage.
They don't know about the Thomas and Martha Wayne foundation?
They like to ignore it
You miscalculated the cost of building the batcave.
About a third of that build cost is labour, and we all just know Alfred was being forced to do the whole bloody thing himself behind the scenes...
Was Clock-o offering Christian Bale Slim Jims her way of asking him on a date?
yeah, he'd do more good investing in social programs but:
1. no billionaires actually do that, unrealistic (and we insist our fictional characters be realistic damn it!)
2. he's got undiagnosed and untreated cptsd and bpd, so he's not necessarily going to be making great decisions
3. that would make a terrible comic book / movie
The comics have tried to cover the fact that Bruce Wayne invests in many charities and sometimes they come into play, but we don't see them because watching/reading/listening to a rich person devote themself to charity isn't a fun story with colorful villains.
AND
In there are stories where corrupt governments and charity CEOs decide to embezzle money. Not to mention when super villains go out of their way to target good will projects so either keep their villainy in the shadows or to go after Bruce for some payback.
I'm so tired of hearing this "Batman should just do charity" argument. It's stupid, provably not true, and not in the spirit of Batman. If you hate Batman, stop talking about him, you don't have to do Batman stuff.
Gotham is Actually NOT Based on New York City, its actually Located South of New York on the Southern end of New Jersey, in fact NYC actually Exists on DC's Earth... and Metropolis is in Delaware >.>
Seriously, though, Clock-o is the coolest, if she'll work for Slim Jims.
Well explained lol
Wayne enterprises is basically Black Rock in real life
The hydrolyzed animal protein in your slim Jim's is feathers.
Chew on that.
I feel like comic-book / DCanimation Batman is more of a genius badass than a rich guy, Darkseid brainwashes him into being his right hand guy cause he is so smart, the best detective... all that.
Compare Wayne/Batman's wealth, crime fighting tech to Tony Stark/Iron Man's.
Very nice. Well researched. Could use some comic timing, though. And a little restraint on the slim jim through-line.
I think the arrangement that social spending would have made more sense only works if you start after he evolved over 75 years. In the beginning he didn't have a fraction of the high end tech. Over the years he has fought gods, demons, robots, and any number of metahumans. Gradually growing to face escalating threats has become the heart of the character. No amount of charities or local development was ever going to stop Darkseid or his army of parademons. Even if he could arm gothamites with world shattering arms they would have found their way into the hands of the corrupt regardless of any steps taken. Only ensuring the self destruction when the next threat showed up to threaten earth. Understandable position, but ultimately not the magic bullet that cracked has made a few times. If you remove Gotham from the rest of the D.C. universe it sounds more plausible. Just a much less interesting story. Batman wouldn't have made it 75 years if the comics were just some rich dude doing paperwork. I still enjoy your work at cracked
Bruh have you seen the Gotham PD canonically Batman is the only one that's actually investing in keeping them going he does more for Gotham everyday than the entirety of their police force
She called the 'investigative team' crackheads...no respect.
I love Americans. They all think Batman is real😂
Hehe 👍
how long do you think it took them to realize that the slim jim joke did not work.
What happened to this channel it used to be soo big at one point? I n comin back after a long time. So curious 2.7 mil subs and 10k views?
Here's a favorite. "I just an old man, sitting here writing a Cracked celebrity, telling her..." you know something like that.
I'd like to see the opposite end of the superhero income spectrum and see how much it would cost to be Spider-Man. Dude can barely pay his rent 😂
Except he does invest in civic services like akot
Aint gonna lie, slmost clicked off after the "donate" bs. He did! He did all the things you said he didnt. Read the damn comics
Or pay attention in any media it comes up in all of them
His parents were murdered (lucky guy) wtf
Obviously, you don't understand Batman. He's nuts. Watch Mask of the Phantasm. He begs his dead parents to release him from the promiss he made when he was six - he offers to fund the programs you mention.
You know... you raise an interesting point here. What if Bruce Wayne just... bought everyone in Gotham a house? Gotham is estimated to have 10 million people. W/ NYC as a model, that's ~100,000 homeless people. NYC houses go for ~ 677000, so that's 67,700,000,000. What then?
These numbers mean barely anything to a poor dude. It’s like someone trying to tell me how big the sun is.
Acording to chat gpt
So, the diameter of the sun is approximately 13.7 billion hamburgers long! That’s a lot of burgers! 🍔✨
It's not our fault all these estates are in the UK! We have a lot of landed gentry who are actually poor as hell
Robbert Patterson is the best live action Batman.
Thanks for clarifying that Burce Wayne is Batman.
9:00 gets into the territory to think that, with the actual social package in Germany, Hitler would have continued to be a postcard painter. Maybe, maybe not.
There is a massive difference between net worth and actual income. He would only have that ridiculous amount of money if he liquidated all his assets. He himself is absolutely probably a billionaire, but you also she how he uses his company to hide his bat related purchases, not spending much of that money himself which is much worse cause that’s a real-real crime called embezzlement.
His training was largely free, just a commitment to be a cults assassin, which he broke.
Using real life examples musk makes something akin to 54million a day before expenses. 648 million a year. Times that buy three and you get the more realistic estimate of Bruce’s annual salary of about 2 billion a year. Still very far from his 880 billion dollar net worth.
ooh do ironman!!
Batman's super powers being "he's rich" is an insult to the character.
How elaborate pls
@@liltony2x823 ~ Batman was trained by the League of Shadows to be fluent in many forms of martial art, misdirection, and stealth. He's trained his body for extreme strength, stamina, and endurance. His intelligence is second to none. He's perfected himself to such a high degree that he can stand toe to toe with a God.
The new cracked is just insufferable.
_"We must be on point with 'The Message' at all times."_
It's insufferable at this point, as per alot of your content you're about seven years too late...
_"He should solve homelessness."_
I spent ten years working alongside homeless charities that would not only provide free housing but also pay rent and provide necessities such as groceries (as you Americans would call it.)
So many of the people housed would destroy properties, defecate on the floor, leave uncapped syringes around the property etc to the point where they had to be evicted.
Homelessness cannot be solved from throwing money at it, there needs to be a motivation from the individual in question to live a different lifestyle.
If you people did anything more than virtue signal on your channel being paid an exorbitant sum of money to peddle out this nonsense you'd understand this.
its just a comedy channel lol
@@airstrauss
Lol...
No it isn't.
Cracked was sold off several years ago and these clowns took over, every other video pushes an agenda of nonsense.
If you're too young or naive to understand this all I say is start to think critically.
Would
Hot Take ❤
Luvvitt!
This took the "Batman is a fascist!" line from Blue Beetle and ran with it😅
girlie pop ate
Britt's the Shit!!
With the way billionaires today dodge taxes, it prob wouldn't cost Wayne anything. But the taxpayers would suffer.
I have to pause to take a schmoke break, only a minute and a half in...
Clock-o is about to nake up a stock market scheme, for fictional Gotham City, and scrutinize a non-existent financial portfolio of a character from that fictional universe.
(Takes a toke.)
Seriously...who pays for this schitt?
We mad about fictional characters now? 😂
Now do iron man!
LOVE that most of the comments were already calling MsMiggs dum, before I got here....Beautiful. That's what happens when you complain about your own bad math, while not having actual points. Just bad political ideals.
First of all, we can only assume Bruce Wayne is Batman!!!!
He's superman, we have seen Bruce and batman together and superman and batman together but have you ever seen superman and Bruce Wayne together? Also they litterally shared the same face and build
Your missing the whole point. We wouldn't get batman. He's batman.
Your video showcases your ignorance on the topic. Clearly you know just little enough about Batman to sound stupid. The point is Thomas Wayne tried to uplift the citizens of Gotham in exactly the manners that you are suggesting and guess what, he got murdered anyway. Even though the city was better off by far there still was criminality even with all of those plans in place. because Thomas Wayne felt exactly as you do. And Gotham was worse off when Thomas was no longer around to fund those programs. Bruce learned the hard way that that's not enough. Thus Bruce represents the stick (vrs his father, the carrot.) Now perhaps an argument could be made that the optimum solution is an adequate combination of the carrot and the stick and not one or the other... but your argument is just clueless!
People at cracked have a socialist bent, they just do not want to listen to this stuff
"WHY DOESN"T HE GIVE THE MONEY AWAY?"
He.... he does. the Wayne foundation.
"WE ALL KNOW THATS BULLSHIT"
Oh my god. This is a very infuriating video.
If Cracked could math, they wouldn't have went bankrupt like 9 times so far...
I thought this video would be fun.
Alas. I was wrong. It literally put me to sleep while I'm sitting in my chair😢
Batmath.
Imagine an IRS audit. AGHHHH you spent WHAT on HOW MANY pointy metal bat shaped ninja stars?🥷
Batmath
Wow....what has happened to cracked....sounding like buzzfeed there
Wait wtf is with all the political jabs in there. Make the video fun. No political. Yikes
So yes… But also no
In the city of Los Angeles, it apparently costs us somewhere between 500,000 and over $1 million to provide just one place to live for a homeless person. It doesn’t need to cost that much, but between permits and everything else it cost a heck of a lot.
Additionally, general corruption both legal and illegal makes things cost significantly more and that’s just in Los Angeles. New York City, or Chicago, after which Gautam is modeled, have a reputation for even more corruption. The estimates that are given to solve the homeless crises does not take into account opportunist who insert themselves in between. That’s the reason why nearly every project that is done in a major city that would improve it ends up costing 2 to 10 times more than originally estimated.
So, city of New York says it would cost $2 billion to solve that homeless problem. We can assume that that would be 20 billion. Still affordable for one Bruce Wayne to be sure.
However, we have to take into account a few other things. Mostly, what are Bruce Wayne’s liquid assets?
most of his assets are in stock. Where he to sell enough to get $20 million, and let’s assume that he doesn’t try to avoid taxes but does things the normal way, then that means that’s $40 billion worth of shares right there, that now becomes about 5% of his net worth. Still affordable, but he hast to be careful because if he sells all from the same company, we could actually take the stock prices and cause loss of money in retirement accounts and other connected things like pay for certain employees.
We also don’t know whether he has any limitation on selling his stocks contractually. While he owns 51% of the shares, very often the SEC or the board of directors is involved in whether or not he can sell shares or not. But I think we can assume that his shares are vested in a way that he could at any point. That being said, we’ve seen timelines where when Bruce Wayne sells his shares, somebody much worse steps in and uses all the technologies and influence that when Enterprises has to cause far worse things. Bruce Wayne Hass to be careful about whether or not he gives up control of Wayne Enterprises. That being said though, there’s ample evidence in the comics of Bruce Wayne not being aware of just everything that’s happening in his company. This is a good argument for him to stop Batmanning, as he got more sleep and paid more attention, some of the various things happening under his roof might be stopped.
I don’t think it’s fair to count his property as something he can use to better the lot of Gotham city unless you’re suggesting he should sell it and live small. he could also donate it for some purpose of course, but there would be forces that would fight against him that even Batman couldn’t stop.
Going through that, the bottom line is it’s more difficult than you lay out here, but it certainly plausible that he could find the $40 billion necessary to ensure that a program could be created to deal with homelessness in Gotham city.
For one year.
That’s the other problem with these plans, is that they don’t often have a long-term consideration. So it may very well be that that $2 billion the originally quoted is $2 billion per year, and if the launching of it is actually $20 billion, that means in order to have 50 years of properly dealing with the homeless using Bruce Wayne resources, you’re looking at $240 billion in order to cover the cost plus the taxes.
That's why he is a fictional character in a MOVIE.
Booooooooooring
You forgot the main thing. Is Bruce a republican or a democrat?😅
This is like arguing that the United States should have just paid the ransom of the Barbary pirates rather than forming the United States Marine Core.
Majority stockholder does not mean 50% Elon Musk is the majority stockholder
of tesla and only has 20%. Your math is way off your video is great.
yes but Batman is typically shown to be overcompensating to that degree, we can imagine any time he's slightly worried about takeover he WILL invest up to 51 percent or more, while on average he probably holds between 33 and 45 percent... IMO anyway...
He holds MAJORITY meaning damn near all of wayne corp. thats not no lil money for sure not 20% if he owned 20% the other investors would of been bought him out he hold 50-75% of the company stocks
This women was so annoying and I don’t know who wrote her ideas. Look it up it cost billions of dollars and we have spent trillions with a Big T to stop poverty and crime and it it hasn’t worked. So there is that. But pushing political views on something that was cool like the title indicates is just wrong. I know it doesn’t matter but you lost a long time subscriber. .
Couldn't hear her through all the commie snark.
Damn those Communists!
You can't eradicate homelessness cuz you can't eradicate crime and or drugs. They don't care if they're homeless They just want to do drugs. Why don't you people understand that. Is that simple
I was homeless for 6 months due to a slumlord not drugs. It's not always drugs
Batman could literally buy Congress and impose his dream of a thriving society. But like any other real life billionaire... They just SAY they want things to be better... But don't actually do any meaningful actions.
Do you realize how much charity is funded by billionaires? They do way more than you. Which would be nothing but complaining on the internet...
Ok he buys "congress" and have to invest that money into the public do uk what that would do to the economy? Thats the same as saying elon or jeff can give everybody 1 bill and still have money to spend if everyone had a billion how much u think a bottle of water would b? An apple or a parking ticket? He cnt fix Gothem like that thats y he do what he does
Buying congress dnt mean shit if the people vote to not choice or go wit HIS dream its america we talking abt here
