    Basically, think of Batman for example. Literal billionaire who spends his wealth and skills punching down and the supervillains feel like they are added post hoc to justify it.

    I don’t like superhero comic books for these reasons.

    This is why Catwoman is theoretically so cool, if she would ever get an actually good story. The premise is great, though. She does nothing but steal from rich assholes and help people in need. She's not trying to be a hero, but she's a legit good person. Kind of the inverse of Batman who is trying to be a hero and is kinda not a good person at all. She also adds some depth to Batman because you have to think about why he doesn't stop her. Supposedly he believes the law is just and she's going around breaking the law all the time, and he totally could stop her any time he likes. But he doesn't because she's not evil and he likes her, and it's just interesting how it kind of lays out the contradiction of Batman so plainly. Not evil but constantly breaking the law, what? It's almost like the law isn't just :surprised-pika:

    Also funny to see nerds miss the point and think she is evil lol

    Edit: But to be clear, she's never had a good story and probably never will, because she mostly exists as softcore pornography as far as I can tell
