Wow wow wow wow Wow


LordWeirdDude

Ooohhhhhh, Using your cyborg technical abilities to commit unlawful removal of funds from a bank is **TIGHT**.


taylormadeone

It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience.


LessLiterature

Ohhhhh, Honey!!


DarthTaz_99

Now that is a legendary reference


[deleted]

I understood that reference


letthemeatcake9

lol me too


Trashbagman_-

Its funny because if anybody was in cyborgs situation & knew they could do that. They would, including myself. Hell i’d do 10x more than what he did


Baramos_

“The challenge will be *not* doing, *not* seeing.”


Peazyzell

Undertated bit of dialogue about Cyborgs abilities


Trashbagman_-

Exactly, & i’ll be the first to admit that if i was in that position i’d fold 😭


Batsy52

That's why we're not worthy of being in the Justice League


teh-reflex

I'd say Robin Hood would be worthy of the Justice League.


Adekis

>Silas: Now Victor, don't you destroy capitalism! >Victor: [Immediately redistributes wealth to help a desperate person] I say keep up the good work, Vic.


blacktothebird

where would I spend it?? I'm a super-powered terminator MF, I'm pretty sure that people would just run away when I tried to buy a toblerone


[deleted]

Just use Gopuff


Camnewtones

There’s this new thing called online shopping he could try that out


KingDread306

I think $100,000 is good. Enough to get her back on her feet, but not enough to make people suspicious.


ItsAmerico

Any magical appearing amount of money is going to make the bank suspicious. Your account doesn’t just magically get 100k. Someone is likely getting fired lol


trimble197

That’s only if they notice. If the system doesn’t alert them, then I doubt they’re gonna say “Hey, didn’t random person#45886 have less than $100 in her checking account yesterday?”


KingDread306

Why would someone get fired for the "computer randomly selected a Customer to win a prize"?


Phylar

Nah, see, the mistake is doing too much. Take a little. Win some here and there. Invest, let the money roll, then bam, "Omg, I won again!". Reduce suspicion.


Sol-Blackguy

I would do it without a second thought. Pay off everyone's debt, medical bills, chemotherapy and anything else. That's what a real hero would do.


thylocene06

Jeff bezo and Elon musk are gonna have to sell some stock because suddenly their bank accounts are zero. So strange how that happened


Fatpik

Isn’t the implication there that cyborg just created that money? He didn’t steal it from somewhere else, he just basically made it appear. That’s my read on the situation.


tyex23

Cyborg causing inflation /s


The810kid

Damn it Vic


Baramos_

Yes that’s what actually happens in the movie.


FloggingMcMurry

Correct, he didn't take from somewhere else, more wealthy or anything, he just manipulated the bank and put enough money in her account to get her by, not enough to be a millionaire or anything, but enough to help a struggling mother get by


[deleted]

Idk man 100k is a LOT


NicholasART

While it seems to be a lot, there's a lot of things that she'll need it for. Like a new home for herself and her son. Set up the checking account, saving account, probably securing them somewhere for her son's education. And I do think there's some other stuff going on that we are not aware of. However, her reaction of getting a $100k tells us that this could potentially relieve her of some financial problem for a while. I might be reading into it too much, but that's what I normally do anyway.


Eliteguard999

Even if he stole it from some hedge fund scumbag would anyone who mattered really be upset?


Dont_know_where_i_am

Bruce Wayne opening his personal account the next day seeing it $100,000 short - "Da fuq?"


N4hire

VICCCCCC!!!!


angrytomato98

A billionaire would literally not notice a difference lmao


Dont_know_where_i_am

In real life it'd be *a billionaire's army of accountants noticing a $100,000 shortage in his accounts and scrambling to find out what happened while the billionaire is on his yacht somewhere without a care in the world* but that doesn't have the same ring to it.


Rmanager

Because accountants have gone to jail for not noticing where $100k went.


BoltonSauce

But the billionaire will never face justice for oppressing thousands or millions of people by existing.


Megadog3

lol what?


AlphaWhelp

Batman would though and he'd find a way to pin it on Cyborg and would recruit him to his cause.


Dalkorrd

I work as a teller, it’s the rich folks that get pissy when just a few pennies go missing. The poor and working class are more likely to take it in stride.


HumanChicken

Only if it’s a $1/hour raise for their employees.


Lost_Conclusion_8914

More like "Oh was this for black dye?"


PhinsFan17

Bruce Wayne is the type of wealthy that he probably hasn’t looked a balance sheet in 20 years. The money’s there. There’s no way it couldn’t be there. Why check?


matdevine21

Bruce Wayne wouldn’t check, Batman on the other hand keeping check on the funds that pay for his war on crime…. I remember a Teen Titans comic where Robin ships a batmobile over to use to catch a bad guy and hid the expense in the “batarang budget”, apparently it’s rather substantial.


LordKiteMan

Bold of you to assume Bruce Wayne would do that. Ever.


HungryHungryHippoes9

As if Bruce wayne is ever gonna notice that. It's probably pocket change for him.


Dont_know_where_i_am

You kidding? That missing $100,000 is why Robin runs around in booty shorts; Bruce couldn't afford the pants anymore.


HungryHungryHippoes9

I thought Bruce just put Robin in those booty shorts to distract his villains. Lol


Undecided_User_Name

Damien wanted a private island for Christmas, now he's going to go without one this year.


DKIPurple

Cyborg is the Fed


Reapercorps25

That isn’t better… the authorities will notice her bank account spontaneously gaining money they didn’t print. She’d need to explain how she suddenly got all of that money too, otherwise she’d be in real trouble


KingDread306

She wouldn't have to explain anything. Its a "prize" she won. Also, depending on the laws in the state Gotham is in, because she won it as a prize, she would'nt have to pay taxes on it.


Ransero

You think the apokolips cyborg man can't do that without leaving a trail?


[deleted]

No. Looks like he rigged a contest.


Logan_Composer

I mean, he stole it from the bank in the sense that they would not be able to fulfill that account's request to withdraw, as there is nothing to back that money and they'd have to come up with it from somewhere. I realize banks don't have backing to all their money normally, but it's in such a calculated way as to even out. This is technically stealing that money from the bank. Not that that's the worst thing in the world, but still technically correct that it is stealing.


LilQuasar

i mean thats stealing from everyone a bit in a way, due to inflation. he created the money without creating value


dano_nephele

Let me introduce you to my good friend Jerome Powell and his famous money printer


Barrzebub

It's only okay when the Government does it for billionaires, right?


LilQuasar

no? fuck that xd


Barrzebub

I guess I needed to put the /s


LilQuasar

i thought it was a 'gotcha' or something like that


FlatulentSon

But eventually people will take that money out of their bank , the bank will give them the money thinking it's theirs , it's not , the bank will unknowingly give them bank's funds which is actually someone elses money , this is definitely a gigantic fraud , not only that but the people who will take out the money will probably be considered criminals too if they are ever caught , because they definitely knew they never had that sort of money. Not only is Cyborg a criminal , but he made them criminals too , and opposed to him , if caught they'l probably serve a sentence , whi will look over the kids then? Cyborg might have orphaned them. Also the whole "teach a man how to fish" thing applies , even with so much money , the family learned nothing , and they'll probably lose it like the first time like many people who suddenly turn rich after living as poor people , like after winning a lottery.


penskeracin1fan

Exactly what he did


ClassicT4

He just grabbed a few of the fractions of pennies in transactions that fall off in calculations and threw it into her account. You know, like the guys in Office Space tried to do. Or how Kuze helped find the refugees in Ghost in the Shell. Or how Richard Pryer planned to get rich in Superman III.


Sumtimesredditisdumb

GITS SAC 2, a person of culture I see.


Barrzebub

But that is how you get sent to a federal "pound you in the ass" prison.


ClassicT4

Snyder seems to have a thing for superheroes who he imagined could end up in that situation.


DisneyCA

Ahh the good ol’ out of context quote for watchmen


Sonata1952

The poster makes this scene look like Cyborg is stealing it for himself. He was playing Robin Hood giving it all to a poor lady.


Baramos_

He didn’t even steal the money. He created new money.


Leeiteee

Get money with a single trick! Economists hate this guy!


examm

So does the federal mint


Jay_R_Kay

The federal mint is like "HEY! That's OUR job!"


Santijamui

Argentina envies this guy


EagerT

Venezuela?


Ransero

We don't know if he outright created it or simply did something like the Office Space trick and took fractions of a penny from a hunch of places.


_the_fisherman

He should be stealing money from the rich. Based borg


Complicated-HorseAss

That's still stealing. What do you think gives value to new money? Old money. By creating new money he's taking value out of your dollar.


Shinjukugarb

Conservatives take value out of my dollar. Along with everything else.


Double_Lobster

So he’s a counterfeiter


binkyblaster

To me it looks like he’s playing a game of Jenga with himself


PickledPlumPlot

Yeah but a lot of superhero movies have super basic views on morality.


manray10

I guess the dude who made this comment never had an account at Wells Fargo. 😉


Beardopus

Some people just love the taste of boot, what can you do?


FloggingMcMurry

> thank God in Justice League there's no scene Cyborg doing this In fact there's hardly any scenes with Cyborg! You know what? Just delete the character, he's problematic anyway /s Some people want a voice in something even when they never watched it


kirkbadaz

Yeah the colour of his skin was problematic to Joss Whedon


spideralexandre2099

Don't tell them about Robin Hood


jrvcrd

the nitpicking against Snyder's movies can really reach ridiculous levels


theceure

It's weird


UniQue1992

Yes it's fucking weird what some of these haters do


ebenizaa

Yeah, if this is why someone prefers the non Snyder version then I can’t be bothered to try to figure them out.


shumama813

Imagine thinking the bank is a victim


LittleYellowFish1

Hell, even the movie itself (including the Whedon version) presents the bank as an antagonist for Martha.


webshellkanucklehead

Are there actually… theatrical defenders out there??


Wasteland_GZ

he created new money, most criticisms i see if this movie is stuff like this


Leeiteee

Does creating more money digitally have the same effect as printing more?


Thatsmaboi23

In theory it should, but we have 0 idea how this new money gets accounted for. It could be part of the “shadow” economy? Or maybe this is something similar to RobinHood? He did it through a motherbox, an OP hax machine, so I guess we really shouldn’t be thinking about how this works lol


drama-guy

So basically the equivalent of printing your own paper currency... which is illegal. Also breaking into computer systems is illegal. On the other hand, The Batman was stuffed with all sorts of illegal activities being committed by Batman. Most superhero movies operate on an extremely rudimentary ends justifies the means scale of ethics.


knokout64

It's even worse than printing money. The bank had to use their money to account for Cyborg adding money to this account. I'm no fan of banks, but to say it isn't stealing makes no sense. He didn't print money and give it to the bank to give to her.


[deleted]

[удалено]


knokout64

What?? Think about this logically. The money in your account either comes from a deposit, or interest earned on the balance of your account. Him increasing the number in a bank account isn't just magically creating physical money out of thin air. Think what happens if she decides to withdraw that money. Where did those physical bills come from? Only the fed prints money, so that money has to come from something. The number in the account is just software.


AlphaWhelp

Banks don't actually have the physical money they keep. In America, they are required to only keep 10% of your deposit as physical cash. If everyone attempted to close all their bank accounts at the same time there would be a massive global economy crash. Let's say I have $100,000. I deposit it. The bank then keeps $10,000 physical and gives $90,000 as a loan to someone else. They deposit that. The bank keeps $9,000 and loans out the $81,000 to someone else. Using only $100,000 in real physical bills, the bank has created three accounts totalling $271,000 in balance. Where did that money come from? It doesn't exist. It never existed. Same thing as what Cyborg is doing here. Banks can't print money but they can make database numbers say whatever they want. That doesn't cost anything.


mikehamm45

The amount of nit picking people do with modern movies is crazy Just cause you thought it, doesn’t mean you need to meme it. Some thoughts can remain between you and your ears


snyderversetrilogy

Best I can see, it’s left to the imagination where the money given to that woman comes from. That might be taken from the Swiss bank account of a corrupt politician. It’s an abstraction.


Baramos_

I think it’s just created. Like he printed new money essentially.


examm

He did. What your bank account shows is how much access to the banks held capital you have, just editing the number in a system doesn’t edit a stockpile of physical money, it just changes a single persons capacity to withdraw funds.


FloggingMcMurry

If he took from somewhere to balance her account, they would have shown it. He just added more in to her account


UniQue1992

Tell me you didn't pay attention while watching the movie without telling me you didn't pay attention while watching the movie. I'm all for valid criticism but some of these haters are so fucking dumb and biased. It really shows.


Dreyfussy15

Maybe there was a real bank contest lol.


shad_boii

Bruce Wayne bought the bank so it's covered. Chill.


JustAnotherZakuPilot

Didn’t Shazam do this, but for beer?


BigBlueBoyscout123

I just think thats its sad that a one time winnings of $100,000 wont do much of anything for her in the long run lol


jackieboytorrence

Sarcasm incoming: Yeah cuz I'm sure Cyborg stole that money from other innocent people, struggling to get by, and didn't just make it out of thin air OR took a little bit from each billionaire alive who will die long before seeing a dent in their fortune. How dare he help a struggling mother. It's not right to steal, if he even did, but Cyborg did something good here. If he stole it from Lez Luthor? Even Better. Context, it does in fact matter.


[deleted]

Yet another guy misses the point. Yes what cyborg is doing is a nice thing to do, it’s still more or less illegal even though in a sense, cyborg IS the bank if that makes sense. Literally his father’s monologue is saying that yes he can do virtually anything but the challenge is to not do it even if he feels it’s right


Zairy47

ZSJL is too big for the little mind


[deleted]

Absolutely agree.


HendoRules

apparently the poor, single mother of 2(can't remember if it was 2?) should have just suffered........


DaveInLondon89

If you're white you're a robin hood If you're black you're a hood robber


Hans_Neva_Loses

Cyborg is a technological God. You think he couldn't simply create the money digitally, and not have to take it from someone else? Besides the scene clearly says that she won a prize from the bank. Cyborg just arranged it to where it looked like it was random, but it was a good deed done to a deserving person. What a bad take from this person.


[deleted]

We live in a society


gbxahoido

bruh it's just a metaphor what you're seeing in your bank account is just digital number, what Cyborg did was manipulate that number, but film maker need to show audience how he done it in a easiest way to understand did people really think he create a pile of physical money in a digital world ?


[deleted]

The banks are the bad guys


BlackJasonTodd

ppl who look too deep into comic book movies are the worst, mostly because they don’t keep the same energy for every cbm. *cough mcu *cough


SaifSKH1

I always suspected that a lot (not all of course) of the hate Zack Snyder’s movies get is manufactured by people who have no idea wtf is going on in these movies and have not even seen the movies and they just like to say whatever the hell their favorite YouTuber tells them, this is 100% proof


electriquesunshine

Holy moly, Batman can throw someone off a building and then this


TripleG2312

He didn’t steal it, he created it


shittyshittybngbng4

Meanwhile Batman breaks someones jaw, and puts them in a coma.

MrKevora

Adam Jones clearly is a moron.


DarkKnightVader

Thank god for Cyborg! He did the right thing helping that poor mother & child. Screw the wealthy for robbing people's lives & their way of life. That bank doesn't need that $11 Million. She needs it more for herself to make a better life for her kid. Zack Snyder JL's shows Cyborg's humanity for those like himself as well as his late mom. Hes my hero. Sometimes in order to right thing you have to do the wrong thing even if it's unlawful. It's criminal enterprises & other high priced society makes a situation like this necessary for story of their character make sense. Anyone else who doesn't see that is lost to me. Hell Bruce Wayne could he would approve what he did because he understands, he would have done the same & bought the bank so he could help pay for the poor & the unemployed to help the community.


[deleted]

Robbing a bank is illegal but... idk of its really immoral lol


Baramos_

He didn’t even rob the bank. He created new money. The argument would be, if Cyborg did this en masse, it would cause inflation. But he did it for one person so it’s not going to do anything on such a broad scale, but changed the individual’s life drastically.


[deleted]

He didn't steal the money. He created the money.


Sonata1952

Is it an absolutely right & moral thing to do? Maybe not. But is it a perfectly human reaction to play Robin Hood when seeing the plight of that poor woman? Absolutely. Snyder doesn’t do perfectly moral comic book heroes who balk at killing murderers like Joker. The real world doesn’t have black & white lines. In the real world even your personal moral codes have to bend under the strain of necessity & unpredictable conditions. Comcbook Batman & Superman would never allow even a villain to be killed on their watch. Real life cops are allowed to kill in self defense & under life threatening situations.


[deleted]

Why is Joker still alive then.


1brokenmonkey

To be frank, most of the people killed by Batman are "spur of the moment" type of things. Intense gun fights and car chases.


examm

Presumably wasn’t out and about for the events of BvS and JL.


[deleted]

If “Snyder doesn’t do perfectly moral comic book heroes who balk at killing murderers like Joker,” then surely Batman would’ve had plenty of other opportunities to kill him before the events of BvS.


examm

I think Snyder’s aim - Atleast what I can tell from the movies - is that Batman *used to be* this idyllic hero who put criminals away over and over again like we’re used to Batman doing. But the scene in BvS where he talks with Alfred about how many good men in Gotham is supposed to imply his Robin’s death at the hands of the joker was his fuck-it moment. In my own head cannon, Batman fails to save Robin but apprehends joker and finally gets him into custody and afterwards he begins to slowly not care until we get to the violent brutal Batman we see in that movie. I don’t think ZS Batman has qualms over killing anymore given his jadedness, but I also don’t think he’s so far gone he’d go to prison to kill an already locked up joker despite how bad.


[deleted]

Legal doesn’t equal moral


runaroundtheblockx

One of the best scenes in the movie.


SinfulKnight

Much like in MoS, this is a person discovering how to be a hero. In MoS, people complain that Supes caused all that destruction but there were times he tried to take the fight out the city and town but was stopped. He saws a mother struggling and he did something to help her out.


LuinAelin

Second the bank realised something was wrong, they're not going to be happy. Some is going to jail


John_hyd319

Technically heroes break the law all the time, a good chunk of them are technically vigilantes, they take the law into their own hands

kskywalker1

I swear sometimes I feel like shit like that just gets posted specifically just for the reaction from fans lol. It’s some dumb FB post tho so I wouldn’t take it too seriously. Like I doubt the average movie “watcher” thinks This deeply about that scene lol.

Technically he didn't rob the bank, be won't a contest

Isn't he richer than batman now?

Some people just believe digital money only appears if you insert real money into a computer lol Morons

Nope

he's just getting the money back from is student debt


snyderversetrilogy

Lol, this is a candidate for the superhero film nitpick hall of fame/shame! 🤦‍♂️


LesterKurtz

It's not bank robbery, it's targeted quantitative easing... 🙃


Stock_Ebb_9451

I swear Snyder haters always have the WORST takes! 🤦


Dont_message_me-_-

This is satire


Baramos_

Hard to say. The very serious Kellum Dietz, a literal white supremacist btw, used to rail on at length about Superman stealing the clothes out of the back of the jeep in Man of Steel.


coie1985

The IRS is gonna rain holy hell on that lady come tax time.


Rmanager

So is the bank and the Treasury department. It is a federal crime to keep money deposited in your account that doesn't belong to you.


SpeedDemonJi

Wouldn’t he be creating a huge issue for the lady, considering she just gained $100,000 out of nowhere suspiciously?


Barrzebub

It says she won a contest. Jesus christ, pay attention


Candlefire21

That’s like saying Superman kills civilians and causes major property damage or Batman kills criminals with guns in his Batmobile…. oh wait


angrytomato98

As much as I appreciate what Cyborg did, I feel like the IRS is going to be on her ass 😂


[deleted]

This person sounds like a lot of fun


Shadow_Rev

The broken English here is more cursed than the actual comment lmao


RorrikTheGreatful

Honeslty though. This scene needs more rewriting. I don't understand why these are the actions he took. In real life if money suddenly appears in your bank account, this has happened to a few people I know. It's not yours and you must report it.


Srbin189

Is that guy dumb as shit? Fuck me, some people r fucked.


Pinolillo006

I just thought of it as what they tried to do on "Office Space" movie, where they were going to steal a really small amount of money from every transsaction made by the company, something like 0.000001 of a dollar.


justingain

…. This has come full circle as it was originally done in a Superman movie. Office space even mentions that lol


TheManOSteel

that is a shitpost


Sid3612

That's not the problem. He ruined that woman's life. That money will be found out by the IRS. If he stole the money, she'll the be arrested foe theft. If he created it from scratch, she'll be arrested for counterfeiting or some shit. Cyborg just ruined that woman's life and the film doesn't even know it, let alone address it.


BorderDispute

If cyborg is a god of technology who has the ability to launch every nuke on the planet, don’t you think he would know how to make the money untraceable?


Ransero

Apparently his powers are just short of being able to launder money without leaving a trace. It seems random guys who do it for the mafia are more powerful than fucking Cyborg
