Hearing that it was about money, the tycoon was immediately relieved. As long as it was about money, it wasn't a problem for him.
Also, he was familiar with repaying favors with money.
Thus, Tony simply asked, "How much?"
Luke chuckled and shook his finger. "No, you don't have to pay for this donation."
Tony: "Huh?"
Luke said, "On behalf of all the superheroes who appeared yesterday, I'm authorizing our superhero images to a foundation. The foundation will operate them, and all the proceeds will be used to help innocent people who have been hurt in various related incidents. "
Tony: "What?"
Natasha: "…"
After a long while, Tony still shook his head. "That's not possible. First of all, legally, how can you prove that this authorization comes from "Batman himself?"
Natasha nodded slightly.
The biggest problem with Luke's proposal was that legally, Batman wasn't a real American citizen.
Because … no one knew who Batman really was.
As for Bruce Wayne? Hehe, who did he think he was?
Tony and Natasha had never heard of this name before, and anyone with this name didn't have the impression of Batman's combat strength.
Even if Luke went out with this appearance and name and said that he was Batman, he would first have to prove that "Bruce Wayne was Batman."
Only then could Bruce Wayne authorize someone else to use the image of "Batman."
This was a matter of the law, and couldn't be fooled by the title of the number one superhero.
Batman's friends faced the same problem, except for Tony.
That was because Tony Stark was the only superhero who had revealed his true identity, and the authorization he made with his true identity was naturally legally binding.
If it wasn't legally binding, others naturally wouldn't have to pay for the use of the image.
Besides, would Batman go to court to sue someone because they didn't have the authorization? That was obviously impossible.
This was also the reason why there were so many wild "peripherals" of Batman on the market.
Hearing this question, Luke smiled. "It's very simple, because you'll be the one to establish this foundation."
Stunned for a moment, Tony subconsciously shook his head. "That won't be legally binding."
Luke chuckled. "Because I don't need it to be legally binding. I just need everyone to agree that it's indeed the" authentic "version of Batman's authorization."
Tony pondered over the meaning of these words and immediately understood the gist of it. He couldn't help but glare. "You want to play the game of stars and fans?"
It was just like a certain brand of sports shoes produced by an OEM factory, but one day, it lost its OEM qualification. The shoes produced were essentially the same as before, but they were no longer "genuine."
Even if the shoes were exactly the same as the previous ones, the manufacturer would still use various anti-counterfeiting codes and verification codes to distinguish the genuine ones from the pirated ones.
In the eyes of fans and collectors, the prices of the two were completely different.
Luke shook his head with a smile. "Do you think everyone's like you, sleeping with female celebrities? Yes, there are also female models, female reporters, female doctors, female professors … "
"Stop!" Tony was a little unhappy. "You're just jealous of me. And what was up with that Sheila? Also, the Jennifer Perry legend has something to do with you. "
Luke glanced at her. "So, you also read those third-rate gossip magazines."
Tony: "…"
Natasha: …
Proper newspapers wouldn't publish this kind of news. Even Sheerah, the so-called "Batman's Ambiguous Girlfriend," wouldn't use this term on the official page.
Only those unscrupulous tabloids and online media would rely on this to attract attention.
So, Tony had definitely read those third-rate gossip reports.
Luke had only said it casually, but he still returned to the main topic. "Alright, you're right to interpret it that way. I'll provide some prizes regularly to ensure that the authorization of this foundation is genuine. "
Tony asked, "For example?"
Luke said, "The bat darts that I 'personally made,' the special baton that Bast uses, or other people's special gadgets."
Tony thought for a moment, then nodded helplessly. "Fine, if you say you did it, then you did it. If you say that Bast used it, then she did."
Luke spread his hands. "Even if they don't believe me, they'll believe Iron Man, because you don't care about this bit of money."
Tony was lost for words.
Of course he knew that he was the most important person in this foundation.
Without him, the only superhero with a real identity, and a super rich one at that, it would be very difficult to convince others of the authenticity of this authorization and the authenticity of the "goods."
However, he wouldn't refuse this offer.
This favor was much more important than simply letting the Young Master give him money.
A guarantee of Tony Stark's reputation really wasn't something that money could buy.
At that point, the two of them stopped talking about the specifics of the foundation.
Luke and Tony had given up the resource of "fame," and there would naturally be countless professionals who would make these fame profitable.
Luke simply added, "Also, this foundation doesn't accept any outside donations."
Tony frowned and thought for a moment. "Do you … need to be so cautious?"
Luke's approach was more or less like a snake in a cup. It didn't fit Tony's understanding of Batman.
If Batman cared so much about his reputation, he wouldn't have broken the law for a year and crippled countless gang members.
It had to be known that America was a country of human rights, and gang members had human rights too.
Luke drank the wine in his glass again and poured himself some more. "We established the foundation to solve some of the problems, not to give our opponents something to attack us with."
Tony's expression was solemn. He thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "That's true. But is it really that serious this time? We've saved a lot of people. "
Luke smiled indifferently. "Tony, do you think we were just when we killed the experimentals and saved the citizens last night?"
Tony nodded without hesitation. "Of course, we're superheroes."
He then added teasingly, "Also, you're the" knight "of the people."
The tycoon had always been rather envious of this, because he knew that he wouldn't be able to get that title.
Luke tapped the counter with his finger. "Then, do you think America is just?"
Tony was stumped for a moment. His lips moved, and he hesitated for a moment before he shook his head. "No."
Stark Industries used to sell weapons. If America's "justice" was so reliable, why would they announce the closure of the corporation's weapons department and even attack the terrorists?
Luke spread his hands. "Do you think the American government needs us to maintain 'justice'? Or are those big shots willing to give the right to enforce 'justice' to a bunch of 'vigilantes?' "
Tony lowered his eyes. "No."
