    Default Next to Batman, who is the most well funded, well equipped...

    ...NON Bat Family street level hero at DC Comics?

    I assume that would be Green Arrow, as he is a rich young adult who fights crime with gadgets and his own vehicles and home base...except he has more political ideology then Batman.

    I'll toss in Ted Kord and Blue Beetle.
    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    Oh wait, there is also Mister Terrific. Owns his company, incredibly intelligent, member of the JSA, leader of the Terrifics, interdimensional traveler, and his T-spheres are no joke.

    If he's an interdimensional traveller in his own solos then I think that rather disqualifies him as "street level"

    I can never tell if Green Arrow is rich or not from reboot to reboot (and I def. don’t think of him as a young man).

    Ted Kord and Mr. Terrific are great suggestions, though!
    Are these two, or any other street leveler better off financially than Bats? I’d think no, but I could be wrong.

    Hopefully, this counts. But my favorite would be...

    Kate Spencer

    You can still be street level and travel dimensions, though.
    But that’s neither here nor there.

    Wow, really?
    I didn’t even know she was rich. HUH!

    Which heroes does Batman actively fund?

    I'm guessing most of the Batfamily rely on Bruce but I'm guessing a few like Kate are self sufficient?

    I think Luthor is the only one who might be finacally better of than Batman.

    I agree on wealth. To me, GA is roughly Batman's age. Didn't like him being made older post-COIE or making him younger later to more sync with the show. Of course, to me, both Dinah and Selina were within a few years of Ollie and Bruce's ages, too, as they first seemed. It's just DC doesn't agree with me a lot of the time.

    Ted Kord and Mr. Terrific are great suggestions, though!
    I'm always sort of mixed in what era I think of Ted, rather like Ollie, since he's been richer and not as rich. When (post-COIE) did he get ownership of the company? I assumed his father died? Don't even get me started on whether companies are wholly owned by them, privately owned by a few, publicly traded, have non-voting shares, etc. Trying to make it work can mess with my head.
