The difference is that the latter has a "superhero" at the heart of its economic decay... Fuckin' Batman, man. A self-centered whiner of an oligarch. (though that's pretty redundant, honestly)

FWIW, if Wayne donated his inherited fortune to legit social projects, he'd have to find a new hobby...

Yeah... because dumping money in a low-trust society immediately fixes the problem.

Outwardly, yes. But she's actually his abuse victim who is terrified to leave. (For good reason, given what we see of his exes.)

And she's also instrumental in taking him down, through photos like this one that appear vapid on the surface but actually undermine his opsec.
