scans_dailyThe BATMAN #38 post got me thinking about the "idiot billionaire" facade Bruce Wayne puts on and if it is that effective. So here are some pages from BATMAN FAMILY #1 that explores the idea a bit.
And a scene of Tim Drake in bondage. Because why not? Art by Rick Hoberg and Stefano Gaudiano
This is from the 2002 miniseries BATMAN: FAMILY about Batman and Company vs. a group out to tear Gotham City apart by John Francis Moore. The twist to the series is that the Big Bad of the series was an "enemy" of Martha Wayne.
Was the "billionaire wastrel" idea the best Bruce could come up with so regular people wouldn't think he's a masked vigilante?
Here is a quote frommagus_69:
I don't have a problem with the theory of it, but the execution has been terrible. It has been repeatedly shown that he was a very smart, very intense kid even before the Wayne murders, and people remember that sort of thing. Given Bruce's trauma, having him grow up into a hedonist makes sense given his immense privilege. Habitually acting like an idiot as a way to fuck with people is plausible, provided he is called on it from time to time. Having people who should know better accept the idiot act? No.
