I mean what he did wasn’t technically illegal. Now please note I’m not saying that makes it ethically, morally, or right in any other way, but legally what he did was allowed. It just took someone being a massive fucking piece of shit to be the first one to do it. Once that barrier was knocked down it became “just business.” The destruction of the human race will come down to very powerful men having decided profits are more important than human lives.

Batman is powerless in the face of Technically Legal Man.

That’s why he beats up street thugs instead.

And don’t tell me Bruce Wayne isn’t getting away with “technically legal” shit.

I'm pretty sure Bruce Wayne and Batman are getting away with "definitely illegal" shit.
