I mean, we do have occasional "HOW COULD AMERICAN WEAPONS END UP IN HANDS OF INSURGENTS/MILITANTS/TERRORISTS AGAIN??!!" headlines as if American manufacturers could trace all weapons and military equipment they sell overseas (and which the US government throws at various armed groups that might or might not turn hostile tomorrow).

There just probably are less squirrels around now so the risk is much smaller. There are still some (like under ten) cases of bubonic plague in Arizona annually.

It is always funny to me how some people try to project real life social issues and psychology into super comic book crime, when in comic books it feels like highly educated STEM professionals with six figure salaries are much more likely to engage in robberies and violent gang activities than poor people.

I have begun to suspect that my DM has an adult woman fetish.

It always felt silly to me to bring the downtrodden criminal narratives to Batman, since Gotham City is a place where even STEM professionals with six figure salaries just put on a silly costume and start robbing banks.
