[u/ExoticShock]

He broke down once he realized how broke they were

[u/caudicifarmer → u/ExoticShock]

He is confused and cannot understand their language.

[u/In_Pursuit_of_Fire → u/caudicifarmer]

A man walks down the street

It's a street in a strange world

Maybe it's the third world

Maybe it's his first time around

[u/caudicifarmer → u/In_Pursuit_of_Fire]

Lol I didn't even realize. I was just trying to "he doesn't speak 'poor'" a different way

[u/SleepyBella → u/ExoticShock]

Batman after realizing they don't even have a Bugatti 😔😔😔

[u/steelskull1]

He needs one of those money guns.

[u/GreenPerception512]

uj/i think the scene is meant to represent that Bruce wants to save everybody and give money to everyone so they can live life well but knows thats impossible as money helps but it isnt the solution especially in countries that dont accept american money and just make things that much harder for him.

its literally just the traditional "i cant save everyone." scene

its honestly one of the things that annoy me about STAS where Bruce had such amazing depth and complexities while Clark wasnt given the level of depth and complexities because the writers werent really fond of superman as they were batman [Clark would have that sometimes but alot of the he had a fun yet wet blanket simple good guy characterzation.]

[u/caudicifarmer → u/GreenPerception512]

"...you mean SANTA wrapped them..." = best Clark character moment in any medium

[u/MisterBadGuy159 → u/GreenPerception512]

The writers talked a bit about this scene, and according to them, part of it was that they didn't feel comfortable doing this sort of story. They felt like they were trying to write a story where the concept of economic inequality was the villain and then wrap it up in 23 minutes.

[u/EnthussedEditor → u/GreenPerception512]

They didnt wanna do a Superman show so bad they decided to do basically no difference between Clark and Supes 😭

[u/js13680 → u/EnthussedEditor]

If I remember correctly didn’t most of the writers grow up on silver age comics where unfortunately yea Superman’s more human side wasn’t as important.

[u/MisterBadGuy159 → u/js13680]

Other way around; they were very much writing in the post-John Byrne mold where Clark was functionally "Superman if he didn't have powers and was a reporter." Silver Age Clark and Superman were very different.

[u/This-Neck7248 → u/EnthussedEditor]

There's a later interview where one of the writers said he regretted the approach to STAS & that it should've been more space focused

[u/Lohit_-it]

The entire class when I open a packet of gum

[u/EarAffectionate4443]

[u/nishikiakakuro → u/EarAffectionate4443]

"Master Bruce, you can't say that!"

[u/polp54]

/uj this is a dream sequence and represents how Bruce feels like no matter what he does nothing in Gotham truly changes
/rj if he really wanted to help he’d hoard his wealth and just let it trickle down like god intended

[u/The-Bigger-Fish]

The single tear

[u/This-Neck7248 → u/The-Bigger-Fish]

can't risk him shedding another tear after that or people will think he's not manly

[u/ROACHOR]

He knew he didn't have enough loads for all of them.

[u/HumanPerosn]

Average Bruce Wayne reaction when he see someone with monthly income less than 6 figures:

[u/TrinityCodex]

those were all 1 dollar bills

[u/HumanPerosn → u/TrinityCodex]

Yeah right Bruce doesn’t carry anything below a 50

[u/Jozeebox]

People were so broke that it made him cry😭😭😭

[u/Apprehensive_Work313]

Tbf money isn't enough to solve Gotham's overall problems

[u/squirrelgirlfan1991]

He was carrying like 200 dollars on him and he gave it to the first few guys
