I think depending on the source material, Bruce Wayne used what was originally a naturally occurring cave system beneath Wayne manor. He probably didn't have to do much construction work at all other than to secure the secret lair so that people couldn't just wander in. All he really had to do was source the tech that went into it and set it up himself, which he could easily do by having Lucius Fox order all the stuff for R&D, have it go missing, and then have that missing stuff sent to Bruce discreetly.

    Well Batman, Bruce Wayne, is the owner of Wayne Enterprises. That entity develops his technologies and, presumably, ships and handles the logistics of delivery. WE’s Operations Head is Lucius Fox, who knows of Bruce’s Batman identity.

    Since Batman’s lair is built on the private Wayne estate in an unknown cavern complex, presumably Bruce and Lucius have been able to misdirect public records for the shipment and inventory of the Batcave equipment.

    Well, I haven't watched the show, so I can't say much there.

    But iirc, both of her parents were career military,. Being a comic character, that her mother and sister got killed. Because, you know, gotta stack the angst for any bat character

    She went into west point, and had planned to do so pretty early in life.

    Some families are just like that. You go to the same schools as the parents did, and if the family is military, you do that too.

    That being said, I guess the real question is why the Kanes were so deep in the military in the first place. I wasn't super into the character, and never read all her appearances in order. Never read all of them at all, but reading out of order means that not only might I have missed why the family is super military, but I could have details skewed a little.

    Anyway, as best as I can recall, it was the whole thing worry the kidnapping that led to her mom and sister dying that made her go hard into west point.

    Edit: also, I'm not sure if Batwoman is sci-fi or not

    an 'app' that you use isn't anything more then a shittier version of a website. most 'apps' are not real programs, but instead a portal to a website where they have purposely made the website worse in order to extract data from you by attempting to make you use their 'app'

    phone 'apps' are nothing more then predatory garbage most of the time. spiderman has too much good value to be that crooked.

    Peter is a genius, so he could easily build an app—whether it’s a dating app, a game, or something else—and sell it. It happens all the time in the real world, so why doesn’t he just do that?

    The people making millions off "apps" aren't geniuses or even good coders, they're good salesmen with zero ethics, grifters.

    Peter has too much ethics to do that. So he can't out onoete someone doing the same thing with no ethical qualms

    Claude is trained primarily on the open internet. This means that for every story of superman, there are 100 posts on r/relationshipadvice that detail abusive families. People mostly read comics offline, but family drama spread like wildfire online, increasing its weight in any AI training. Superman has always been a "take the high road" character, and Lois tends to be the one to take the higher road and call Clark out on his mistakes, so the idea that they both suddenly become ultra-negative parents makes no sense to me.
