But he could have made millions of billions somewhere along the way by sheer luck, also.

Mostly they operate simply by collecting a slice of the more hands-on operators proceeds in return for permission to continue controlling their territory and breathing. It helps if you have a larger-than-life reputation so the actual need to enforce your edicts is minimal. At that point catching the criminal in question is more of a job for a tax accountant than a superhero.David Johnstonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856236869724526974.post-8615722567890278012009-07-17T19:02:01.610-04:002009-07-17T19:02:01.610-04:00I think Tom's hit the nail on the head as to h...I think Tom's hit the nail on the head as to how Two-Face goes without as much opposition from Batman as other villians. As to how he funds his crimes, I think it's a blend of inherited wealth/legitimate investments (like his old pal Bruce Wayne), profits from his own non-supervillainous criminal enterprise (drugs, human trafficking, guns, extortion, etc), and lastly from the Joker. <br /><br />I base this last part of my theory on the Joker's remark in Batman RIP that he's thrown away more money than the collective net worth of the Black Glove. Where does all the money go? Dynamite, gasoline, gunpowder, neurotoxins, imported hyenas, playing cards, assorted props for his more theatrical stunts. Who has just enough respectability to get this stuff without raising eyebrows and pass it on to the Joker?

(1...Agreed. Batman prefers Two-Face to run the show<br />(1) because Batman knows Dent's habits and practices, making the crimes worth stopping easier to stop<br />(2) because Two-Face does nice things like call Batman with helpful information<br />(3) Two-Face is inefficient, mostly due to his coin gimmick (as discussed previously on ecocomics)<br /><br /><br />Two-Face can control most of the mob-related crime at less than maximum efficiency, or other craftier, smarter, competitors will take over sectors of the mob-related criminal activity and be harder for Batman to handle, combined. Imagine perfectly run and independent sectors: extortion ring, drug operation, arms and ammo operation, blackmail/political corruption gang, human trafficking ring, goods smuggling, and music pirates.<br /><br />or, all of these operations run by, or through, a non-optimized intermediary, namely, Two-Face, which un-optimizes the aggregate.<br /><br />Better a sometime-helpful, inefficient, devil-you-know than an unknown crime boss or bosses who may be better at crime, better at maximizing pain and suffering, etc. <br /><br />-t<br />[Or, it's just that Wayne has a soft-spot for his old pal Harvey.]Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642959051981803805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856236869724526974.post-22838908096633626782009-07-16T10:53:09.281-04:002009-07-16T10:53:09.281-04:00jamused made a good comment.

I also think because of Harvey's relationship with Batman before the Two-Face incident, Batman will always be slow to take down Two-Face.professor74noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856236869724526974.post-50258750829412782222009-07-16T10:40:16.506-04:002009-07-16T10:40:16.506-04:00How about this:

When mobsters deal with Two-Face, half the time they wind up betrayed and in jail, dead, or with fake product. While Two-Face is in charge not only are the illicit markets constantly being disrupted, but large amounts of criminal effort are diverted from expanding the enterprise or defeating Batman into trying to get rid of Two-Face. This has a terrible effect on the profitability of crime in Gotham, and while Two-Face's cut of the rest is more than adequate for his own operations the overall trend is downward.<br /><br />Batman, of course, recognizes this and prefers to use his resources first against criminals who are not inadvertently thwarting crime, only directly going after Two-Face when his plots are aimed against civilians.Joshua Macyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838733328132877699noreply@blogger.com
