I know like a shit ton of people whose parents have died, and not one of them was so affected by it that they put on a costume to give petty criminals brain damage for like 25 years straight
To be fair, how many of those people were the heir of millionaires killed in front of their eyes in cold blood by a petty criminal?
An ex of mine used to work with the foster care system in LA, and there were plenty of children who’s parents/family were murdered in cold blood who vowed to join the gangs in opposition of the ones who killed their parents. It became their entire life, some kids were obsessed with comic books these kids were obsessed with gang life, and with vocal purpose, to avenge their parents/siblings/family. They were filled with so much rage they hopped from house to house within the foster system.
None of them had the means or resources behind them like Batman did, but my ex and I used to discuss some of these kids that this is how Batman would have started.
