Who is Batman? He is a super-rich entrepreneur. Using his riches, he builds devices that help him 'fight crime'. When he defeats the evil-doers, everyone cheers the super-rich entrepreneur. If that isn't the most ridiculous illusion of capitalism, I don't know what. The notion that a super-rich business-person is somehow a super-hero is so absurd, it could only happen in a superficial society. As the billionaire stands next to the homeless, starving person, he or she does not save that person from homelessness or starvation. But I suppose there is no 'crime' in starving to death. It was that person's fault for being a dickhead. They deserve to die of starvation, if not worse. They are criminals, because they did so much harm to so many by unintentionally starving to death.

Beyond the illusion of a super-rich person being a super-hero, the Batman character perpetuates the delusion that money is somehow a solution. The earthquake-relief money sent to Haiti doesn't do much good for the 250,000 already dead. Money is, at most, a short-term solution or relief. Why then are people so declined to solve problems with something other than money? Maybe once people figure that out, they can start moving towards real solutions.
