Why is Bruce Wayne so bitter despite being rich

Tweet

I read an article on Qoura.com yesterday why the Bruce Wayne character is so grumpy in the recent Batman movies and cartoons. The answer is that despite Bruce Wayne being a rich man, the death of his parents at a young age when they went into Crime Alley in Gotham City did affect his childhood being raised by Alfred Pennyworth who was the butler of Bruce Wayne's parents. It makes me laugh that the critics of the Batman television show that starred the late Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin were comic relief instead of a moody Bruce as he became older. Come on Hollywood writers. an angry super hero character will sell tickets for the kids but us older folk who enjoyed the good old days when super heroes were like a family.
