That's HOW they're billionaire. Part of the fantasy of Batman is: A) That anyone could be Batman if they worked hard enough, bootstraps ect. B) That someone so powerful CARES about you and will risk his own life to protect you. In the fictional world of comic books, Batman is somehow still a billionaire despite the majority of his money going to charities, environmental programs, social programs and other ways to help the city and planet. In reality, being a good person and being a Billionaire are incompatible goals, because a billion dollars is over a thousand times more money than any human would ever use or need outside of a flex. Good people CAN'T become billionaires because they use that money to help people instead of hoarding it.

Step one, give Kyle 1.5 billion dollars. step two, he's The Batman.

Taylor Swift could be Batgirl. I would go with Jared Isaacman, he is 40 Years old and is 2.2 Billion worth. Isaacman is the Founder of Draken International a provider of tactical fighter aircrafts, is a Jet Pilot and also an Astronaut. 2021 he was the main funder of the Inspiration4 Mission, the Mission was Spaceflight in a SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule and the goal was to rise money for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. After that he founded the Polaris Program, a Space Program that will do more Missions like Inspiration4 and do the first private Space walk. Also a personal note: I know this mainly because of you and your KSP Videos. After the one with Scott Manley I started watching his Videos and got more and more absorbed into everything Space related.

Its one of the funnier things about Batman as Bruce Wayne because he's not even very good at acting like a normal boring Billionaire. Sure he has the "irresponsible playboy" act down when he needs it but how many existent billionaires have orchestrated almost their entire inherited corporations into being a platform to hire exconvicts with life changing benefits, improve low-quality housing in low-rent areas to provide to the needy at a loss, provide food and educational charities, and probably a dozen other charities I don't even remember or know about? Bruce just can't give away his wealth fast enough and in a very wide-spread, non-Billionaire like way. Maybe even because reinvesting in his community and employees ended up improving his company's income. Iirc, The only way the comics could ever even explain the constant myriad of corruption, charity undercuttings, and hyper-fast entropy into decay in the face of all he does was with an ancient curse on Gotham and actual demonic/eldritch involvement.

I'd say that the number one reason no one is batman is because if batman was real he would have too many concussions to function by month 3 of the job

The other problem with being batman is that in addition to having dead parents and being a billionaire (which is already a big enough hurdle for most people) you also have to be in ridiculous physical shape (he can bench like 1000 pounds and knows over 100 martial arts) and also insanely smart (like 12 different masters degrees smart)

Amazing video comrade Kyle!

a 15 minute long doormonster video?! WOOOOOOOOH

I believe there are 2 big mistakes in this video. One, you forget the cost of the time needed to actually doing all that training. I don't think any billionaire would have the patience for doing that rather than paying other people to do whatever they want. Two, the motivation to becoming Batman is, at least partly, to rid Gotham of the crime that took his family away, and no billionaire would spend... any amount of money on doing something that barely helps them at all. Even Jared Isaacman, who I read about in this comment section, likely does his charity work to make himself look good rather than because it's the best way to help, while being Batman would mean nobody would know that they are the one helping.

I would never suggest inflicting trauma on my fellow human beings. Billionaires, on the other hand...

i think taylor works on a lot more of less strictly technical aspects of batman/bruce wayne which is why the idea resonates so much better. bruce feels like a true celebrity often in the comics for the level of discretion he needs to operate under in comparison to options like kushner who you need to go down a rabbit whole of trump era politics and family trees to understand his relevance. their respective perceptions in the media are comparable as well- they are both often derided as vapid and only pretty faces despite bruce attending medical school and taylor being awarded a doctorate. also i think tswift should be awarded extra points since she lives in a giant echo-y castle.
