As soon as he heard that it was about money, the elder and younger immediately felt relieved: as long as it was about money, it was nothing to him.
And paying back favors with money, he is familiar with this.
So Tony just said lightly: "How much?"
Luke chuckled, stretched out his finger and shook it: "No, you don't need to pay for this donation."
Tony: "Huh?"
Luke: "On behalf of all the superheroes who appeared yesterday, I authorize our superhero image to a foundation. The foundation operates them, and all proceeds are used to help innocent people who have been hurt in various related incidents. "
Tony: "hat?"
Natasha: "..."
After a while, Tony shook his head after clarifying the words: "It's unlikely. First of all, legally, how do you prove that your authorization comes from "Batman himself"?"
Natasha also nodded slightly.
The biggest problem with Luke's proposal is that Batman is not a real American citizen legally.
Because... no one knows who Batman really is.
As for Bruce Wayne? Ha ha, who is stupid
Neither Tony nor Natasha had heard of this name at all, and people with this name did not have the impression of Batman's fighting power.
Even if Luke goes out and says he is Batman with this appearance and name, it must first prove that "Bruce Wayne is Batman".
Then, Bruce Wayne can authorize others to use the "Batman" image.
This is a matter of legal scope, and it cannot be fooled by the title of the first superhero.
Batman's friends also face this problem, except Tony.
Because Tony Stark is the only superhero who disclosed his true identity, the authorization he made with his real identity naturally has legal effect.
Without legal authorization, others naturally don't have to pay for the use of the image.
Besides, will Batman go to court for not being authorized? This is obviously impossible.
This is also the reason why many wild "peripherals" of Batman on the market have no scruples.
Hearing this question, Luke raised the corner of his mouth: "It's very simple, because this foundation will be established by you."
Tony was taken aback for a moment, but still shook his head subconsciously: "That has no legal effect either."
Luke chuckled: "Because I don't need it to have legal effect, but as long as everyone agrees, it is indeed the "genuine" authorized by Batman."
Tony thought about the meaning of these words, and immediately understood the general idea, and couldn't help but stare: "You want to play the same thing as stars and fans?"
Just like a brand-name sneaker produced by the same foundry, and then lost the qualification of the foundry one day, the re-produced shoes are essentially the same as before, but they are no longer "genuine".
Even if the shoes are exactly the same as before, the manufacturer will use various anti-counterfeiting codes and verification codes to distinguish genuine from pirated.
The prices of the two are not the same in the hands of fans and collectors.
Luke smiled and shook his head: "Do you think everyone is like you, and your biggest hobby is sleeping with female stars? Well, there are also female models, female reporters, female doctors, female doctors..."
"Stop!" Tony was a little dissatisfied: "You are just jealous of me. And what happened to that Sheila? And the legend of Jennifer Perry is also messing with you."
Luke looked sideways: "It turns out that you also read those third-rate gossip magazines."
Tony: ...
Natasha: …
Serious newspapers would not publish this kind of news, and even Sheila, the so-called "Batman's ambiguous girlfriend", would not use such words in the official page.
Only unscrupulous tabloids and online media will rely on this to attract attention.
So, Tony has definitely seen these third-rate gossip reports.
Luke said casually, but returned to the topic: "Okay, your understanding is correct. I will provide some prizes on a regular basis to ensure that the authorization of this foundation is "genuine."
Tony: "Like?"
Luke: "The bat dart I "made" by myself, the exclusive stick used by Best, or other people's special equipment."
Tony thought about it, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, if you say it's your own hand, it's your own hand, and if you say Beste has used it, then she has used it."
Luke spread his hands: "If people don't believe me, they will believe Iron Man, because you don't like this little money."
Tony was speechless.
Of course he understood that the really important person in this foundation was himself.
Without him, the only superhero with a real identity, and a super-rich superhero as a voucher, it would be difficult to convince others of the authenticity of this authorization, and the authenticity of the "merchandise".
He won't turn down the offer, though.
This kind of favor is much more important than asking the young and old to simply give money.
Tony Stark's reputation guarantee cannot be exchanged for money.
At this point, the two will not talk about the specific affairs of the foundation.
Luke and Tony paid for the resource of "names". How to make these names generate profits naturally has countless professionals to complete.
Luke just added one more: "In addition, this foundation does not accept any external donations."
Tony frowned and thought, "You...do you need to be so cautious?"
Luke's approach is almost a shadow of a snake, but it doesn't fit the character of Batman in Tony's perception.
If Batman cared so much about his reputation, he wouldn't have broken the law for a year and maimed countless gang members.
You know, the United States is a country of human rights, and gang members also have human rights.
Luke drank the wine in his glass again, and poured himself a little more: "The establishment of the foundation is to solve part of the problem, not to increase the opponent's attack on us."
Tony looked serious, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "That's right. But is it really going to be this serious this time? We saved a lot of people."
Luke laughed indifferently: "Tony, do you think our action of killing the test subjects and saving the citizens last night was just?"
Tony nodded without thinking: "Of course, we are superheroes."
As he spoke, he added teasingly: "Besides, you are the "knight" of the people."
Regarding this point, the eldest and youngest are still quite envious, because he knows that he can't get this title, it's his nature.
Luke tapped his fingers on the bar table: "Then do you think America is just?"
Tony froze for a moment, moved his lips, hesitated for a while, and shook his head: "No."
The Stark Group used to sell arms. If the "justice" of the United States is so reliable, why did he announce the closure of the group's weapons department and attack the empty cloth elements.
Luke spread his hands: "Do you think that the US government needs us to maintain "justice"? Or, are those big shots willing to hand over the right to enforce "justice" to a group of "vigilante police"?"
Tony lowered his eyes: "No."
