    So Bruce Wayne is somehow worse than freaking Tony Stark?

    Then again Stark is an inventor and comics-level genius who lacks a secret identity, so pivoting to another industry was way easier for him. Bruce Wayne probably can’t change his company too much without losing a ton of pull and drawing unwanted attention to himself, plus losing access to the gadgets he relies on.

      Didn’t Stark divest from weapons manufacturing to researching clean energy instead, after he got hit by that one bomb of his?

      I haven’t read the comics, just what I remember from the movies

        Yeah, that’s why I said worse than Stark. He pivoted away from supporting the Military-Industrial Complex when he realized it was hurting people, whereas Batman hasn’t.

        It’s just odd since Batman is supposed to have ironclad ethics, whereas Iron Man is famously a hypocritical ass (though much less so in the MCU than in the comics, from what I’ve heard).

          Meanwhile, the DoD is like: “Hey, anyone else kinda wondering why these bombs, ammunition boxes, and rifles are all kinds bat-shaped. Wayne enterprises is weird”
