Short answer: mental illness

Long answer: it will vary from various iterations, but often Bruce Wayne is minimally present as a CEO (which, eyy, not really different from most of them.) Bruce Wayne / Batman is able to rest while crime exists in the same way an insomniac rests on itchy sheets in the middle of a parade: he doesn’t. He is beyond obsessed on stopping crime, to the detriment of his health and safety, as well as those around him. His entire entourage regularly pushes him to slow down, rest, take time to heal, etc, and he keeps getting up. It’s beyond his (present) ability to control. There’s been a few instances (like with Andrea in Mask of the Phantasm) where he does find himself at peace and can move on, but mostly, he’s a prisoner of his own trauma. It’s been stated multiple times that his obsession is no different than the Joker’s or the Riddler’s.

Microsoft again?

So you’re saying if I fuck the same way Fremen walk the desert, they can’t track my car sex…

Don’t ask why I didn’t come to OJ’s funeral

It is because I already did

My fellow chums and I think it would be quite corking if we gave our personal data over to the local advertisement agencies

He has a lot of them, but he also has a dollar

Dammit Jim, I’m a doctor, not a marketing manager!

I kind of hate these sentiments because it undermines how prevalent pop culture bombardment can be. Somehow it’s my fault that Chris Hadfield doesn’t have a dummy thicc bbl that keeps shaking up them tabloids? How can I be responsible for NASA not capitalizing on leaking some spicy space sex tapes? You think I wouldn’t pay for them zero G jiggles, Billy!?

whatever birder, I bet you also buy big ornithopta’s attempt to rebrand dinosaurs as having feathers to help shove their bird seed of lies down our throat?

nice 😎
