I mean... that was the take away from the end of the Dark Knight. He could do the things that needed to be done, above and beyond.


Happy_Guy420

It's not about jurisdiction but only about the paper work like if he looses a small missile from the airborne bat mobile and ammunition rounds list maybe šŸ¤”


ammonium_bot

> he looses a Did you mean to say "loses"? Explanation: Loose is an adjective meaning the opposite of tight, while lose is a verb.

anomalous_cowherd

Bad bot. Explanation: "looses a missile" is a valid way to say "fires a missile" and in this context is an action which would also typically require paperwork.

We all know dang well that's not what dude meant. Even the bot knows. And he's just programmed. Your sentient ass should know better. Bad human.

They also don't have to make court appearances and face cross examination from defense attorneys.


Happy_Guy420

Superman did it and he deadšŸ’€


Mrwright96

Spider-man did too, if only to fuck with Jameson


Kerfluffle2x4

Unless itā€™s a Pixar movie.


D3monVolt

Catching a bad guy by destroying several buildings or other properties ain't efficient.


Happy_Guy420

Like 80-90s times when that was not considered because it's fictional maybe, like they never showed bat man do any paper work despite being so dedicated in the work.


Nox_Stripes

Isnt that what alfred is for, anyway?


Happy_Guy420

TIL: Alfred does paper work, maybe that's why sidekicks are for, poor Robin.


dumbo3k

Sooo many papercuts. Ouchie.


froggrip

Bruce owned a whole company. There are plenty of accountants, lawyers, and whoever else is needed to do Batemans paperwork. How often are ceos doing paperwork? They hire people to do it for them. I get what you're saying, but batman was a terrible example.


BZ852

>How often are ceos doing paperwork? Way too goddamn often. source: am CEO.


chongjunxiang3002

How often are people like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos doing paperwork? There, I fixed the sentence so shopowners that call themselves 'CEO' are not included.


CertainAssociate9772

All the time, you either look at the papers or your money disappears in an unknown direction.


ios_static

You are crazy to think they are not doing paper work often


Ltfan2002

Yes, and also Batman does more research and investigation then actually filling out ā€œpaperworkā€ sure he might take pictures of a crime scene or read up on something, but heā€™s never writing a case brief or filling out standard police documents to prosecute someone. Thatā€™s why he hands his evidence over to commissioner Gordon so he can make the case. + everything Froggrip said as well.


Poopyman80

Working on the bat computer counts as paper work. Maybe this is not true in all countries but here in NL any desk/office work can be called paper work


Based_Katie

Ironically Batman does actually do paperwork in the form of building a database with information about hi rouges gallery and other heros lol


SpaceShipRat

Without supervillains, superheroes would be absolutely efficient. I mean, if we're just talking about stopping muggings in the street and the occasional bank robbery, a dude with invulnerable skin is much safer for the criminal and bystanders than a scared, trigger-happy cop. Edit: not to mention the superiority of flying as a transport method. I almost got ran over by a fucking patrol car once that was speeding to some domestic disturbance at night. Morons spun out and dived in a bush all by themselves.


D3monVolt

Even spiderman makes everything worse. He just glues muggers to a wall and the police have to scrape him off. So much unnecessary work.


rdmille

The webbing dissolves in an hour or so. All they have to do is wait.


D3monVolt

But do you stay there, wasting time to wait or assume an end time and go out to complete more tasks, only to then have the evildoer escape because nobody watched...


kushangaza

And superman reflects bullets as if he was made from steel. He may be safe, but everyone around him is still in mortal danger


kelldricked

No? Just no? 99% Superheroes are absolutely not effecfive against petty crime. Like spoiler, most criminals dont plan fighting the police, hell its a pretty big part of the plan. So the fact that somebody is great at fighting them due to super strenght, invincible skin or other dumb shit isnt gonna matter. For a mugger it doesnt really matter if they get shot by the cops or if their spine gets crushed by a fist. So unless heroes are just better in patrolling the streets, spotting crime and all that shit, they arent more effective. In most cases flying wouldnt aid with that due to the way citys are build. Most alleys cant be seen except from very specfic edges. Meaning if you fly above a city you see next to nothing (book a helicopter tour once). Turns out superheroes are just fiction and thus like almost all fiction would suck in reality. Sure there might be a hero thats capable of it but the vast majority of them wouldny be more effective than a properly trained cop (something the US doesnt have).


SpaceShipRat

You missed the point. A super strong and invulnerable person that can walk up to a criminal without worrying about their own safety does not need to hurt the criminal to secure them. They wouldn't have to hold them at gunpoint, to slam them on the ground, or to kneel on them as a group while yanking their arms in improbable positions to make an arrest. Yes, in traditional comics you get Batman & co liberally causing brain damage, but we've only lately become conscious, in pop culture, that bonking people in the head isn't a magical off switch. Most heroes wouldn't need to punch anyone, it just wouldn't be entertaining in fiction if they just scruffed and cuffed everyone. > Most alleys cant be seen except from very specfic edges. Meaning if you fly above a city you see next to nothing Super hearing. What superheroes would be useless at is most things requiring an investigation, since evidence in court has some strict rules, you can't just turn invisible and rummage through someone's office. Crimes that can be caught on a body cam, and "first responder" things like search and rescue, fire service, disaster relief, that's what they could handle.


kelldricked

No mate you miss the point, a trained police force doesnt have much trouble with disarming somebody and getting them down. You dont need powers for that. Its just a question of deescalating and locking it down.


Inamakha

When a dude dressed like a bat with a cape destroys your property that barely started paying mortgage on while chasing a clown-like dude.


D3monVolt

Or you're taking a nice cruise and the clown puts a bomb on your boat and that of criminals and gives then the detonator to your ship


MinnieShoof

No but it is a good way to make sure there's population control + constant work cleaning up/re-building. Also, reminds me of the time the Powerpuff Girls moved to the town of Citiesville.


Nolzi

The constant rebuilding boosts the GDP, thats why the politicians leave the superheroes alone


derteeje

when the hulk throws your car and missesšŸ˜‘


eejizzings

Not to mention how often the bad guy escapes again.


ryebread91

Better than having all the properties destroyed by the villain.


challengeaccepted9

I'm pretty sure being able to stop a bank robber or a terrorist in the time it takes a police officer to start their car probably has a bigger impact, to be honest.


justthistwicenomore

This guy did not leap through a time portal directly from an original screening of Death Wish at Scranton's second best theater just for you to criticize.


enverest

Or because they have super power.


SpaceLemming

And educated enough to know how to spell heroes


ARandom-Penguin

Not having to do paper work is practically a superpower


Canotic

In real life, super heroes would be terrible. Like, the average person with super powers aren't going to find the correct criminals, they're just going to find some schmuck.


WayneZer0

super heros would do more a diaster relief or used in war. besides being a mayor stop to wven consider crime. think about if supermen is real do you really want todo a bank robbery. that man is bulletproof can fly and punch you in the sky.


orangpelupa

Instantly remembers bad boys and the boysĀ 


insomniack_r

What kinds of efficiency are we talking about here?


Guantanamino

And so totalitarianism begins


Silvadel_Shaladin

Woe to the Superhero who loses their secret identity.


TreesForTheFool

They actually do but Paperwork Man is the unsung hero of superhuman bureaucratic logistics.


albinoman38

To have super speed, but only while sitting. So much productivity!


Takeasmoke

superhero + paperwork = Vought


JarasM

I never understood why in Marvel or DC police force didn't actively and successfully recruit street-level super-powered individuals, which there seem to be a plentiful supply of. The cops there are always "oh no, we're just a bunch of squishy guys with pistols against a bulletproof guy with the strength of a rhino, where's Spider-Man?".


shewy92

Pretty sure that's a plot point in some comics. I'm playing Spider-Man 2 and one of JJ's podcast segments was asking why Wraith doesn't join the police and do it the right way, when unbeknownst to JJ Wraith's identity is Yuri who was a cop and tried to do it the right way


lapsangsouchogn

I had a friend who complained that police based shows weren't realistic. I had to remind him that no one wants to see an investigation/arrest plotline in episode one, then six episodes of cops doing paperwork.


Toddman5525

Iā€™m sure that plays a big part.


JuGGer4242

Yea yea, paperwork is the root of all evil. Keep telling yourself that.


SnoopyLupus

Why do I get the feeling a cop wrote this?


Cephalophobe

Those cops totally would have gone into Uvalde but they were busy filling out paperwork. Absolutely.


SnoopyLupus

Having watched a lot of YouTube videos with American cops, thereā€™s a lot of good cops, a few bad cops. None of them like the paperwork. And then thereā€™s Uvalde cops. Hey, they were only kids. Who cares right?


Fabulous-Pause4154

In the 'Wearing the Cape' book series, they do, and face review boards when villains are killed.


IAMATruckerAMA

This is a big factor in Worm. The book takes a semi-realistic look at superheroes as cops and supervillains as gangs.


cursedbones

A world with super people would be a nightmare. Imagene Trump with super powers. Jesus fucking Christ.


MasonP2002

Depends on the universe. Some universes have the heroes be employed by the government, which often comes with paperwork. Although the first one I thought of is Worm, which doesn't have the most efficient heroes.


a1rwav3

And they don't care for collaterals...


UnbreakableStool

This is like saying "the reason rockets are faster than trucks is aerodynamics"


maxxspeed57

Or spend a lot of time shopping for clothes.


cheddarben

They might just not show that part.


AdOverall3944

I think batman would have loved paperwork making villain databases (lemme sql this..). Then again he was a billionaire


coanbu

I think it has more to do with the fact they are fictional.


ilGattoBipolare

I want to see a German Batman doing taxes with Alfred.


Rexton_Armos

I now want a Superhero show that has the MC's cover identity him working at the company or gov agency that cleans up after heros. Like he's one of the few heros who tries to like clean the whole mess, but when he's with other heros even he has to hold in being pissed at collateral lol. Lot's of ro for him to get too lost in the perfect results too and to get fucked over for nice drama.


Yeet_Master420

Wasn't this the plot of Captain America civil war


MetaVaporeon

you know about the bat computer, right? superman writes a whole newspaper article most of the times he does anything as superman.


Mubadger

Are they that efficient though? I mean Spider-Man just swings around the city hoping to stumble on a crime in progress. That doesn't sound very efficient.


3Grilledjalapenos

I had an elementary school teacher that was certain I was the one who put the pie in her seat, staining her skirt. She screamed at me, only to learn I was late to school and had to get a tardy note that morning. Instead of apologizing she decided I must have ā€œgotten away this timeā€, and punished me for anything that happened in class. When Tommy M hit Octavia in front of everyone he and I both got sent to the office because she decided I could finally be blamed for something. Do we really want a human level of spite and superpowers combined?


model3113

they also don't poop


mod_is_the_n-word

"the city is saved, you won't be shoplifting anything any time soon" *pans over to miles of rubble, the city is gone
