Batman Finally Admits to Defrauding Stockholders

I did get a bit carried away in my post and in error, I apologize.Bruce does in the next panel look away and say "I did what was necessary." and his eyes would imply he was ashamed. Indeed there was no justification for his actions nor did he feel that he needed one. He did say though it was in his first year and we know that he made mistakes because he didn't know what he was doing. That was what I meaning in my post.

Well, with Batman Incorporated, it's now all above board, at least. And, if I remember correctly, it's also being used to explain why it's happened in the past.

I've wanted someone to explain to me how vigilantism is a profit-making endeavor.

I'm also pretty sure that the punching-people-in-the-face business is more amenable to corporate veil piercing than the average industry.

It's interesting to have this said. I bet it's in part because of the reboot, and people are having fun. Stuff like that could make the next few months worth reading. Like Hal Jordan admits to serial vehicular homicide in the last issue of Green Lantern, Superman just straight up ices Lex Luthor, and it's revealed Wonder Woman's been banging her Amazon sisters for ever, just no one ever asked.

Owning his own killer space satellite.

That one always really bothered me. Not because it's not something Batman would do, but because of sheer amount he would have to steal, and the fact that a constellation of satellites cannot be launched in secret. It's a superhero comic, I know. That's why I can suspend disbelief that a satellite has a glowing red HAL 9000 eye. But I still expect them not to be balls deep in stupid.

His "It was my first year" talk was referring specifically to the mistake he made with the patent number. He wasn't admitting moral culpability. He was merely admitting to making a mistake in covering his tracks. The defrauding shareholders lines come afterward, and I think you're reading too much into Batman's eyes when he says "I did what was necessary." It looks more like determination than shame to me.

Either way the issue doesn't really matter now. What is more important about this issue that should have been posted...is that this isn't the issue we should have got.

I picked it up in the first place anticipating seeing the Robin adventure.
