Official Justice League Movie

I guess I don't even need to use a spoiler tag since this was in the Whedon/Theatrical Cut. Which has been out for many years now.

Mm, so OK. Wayne Manor as JL HQ. I feel like the vibe from BvS is that Bruce just moved away and left it to rot, period. Didn't sell it, didn't do anything but probably fire anyone who was still employed as "the help" there whatever "many years" ago it was that he went away from it. Is this fair?

OK, now suddenly... Wayne Manor, or the plot of land that once housed Wayne Manor... now it's this hub of superheroes. Like, all the ones in the media. Even if you drag Bruce Wayne in front of a news anchor to say, "I'm letting the Justice League use my old Manor because why not?" that doesn't seem super, super stupid? Like, even if he sells it... people are going to dig, and they wouldn't even have to try hard.

Now again, the easy way out is that maybe Bruce doesn't care if he's outed. No loved ones that can be hurt anymore (though Alfred is still around, and any other Robins or Batgirls they would ever want to retroactively introduce)... but this is unlikely. And also, as a billionaire... would it really be that hard to just set up something else for them elsewhere? Like, anywhere else? OK, the Batcave has cool sh**. This can be moved somewhere else, or recreated.

And if the argument is "well, he sold the land, probably! It can't be tied to him!" then... eh, to whom? Who did nothing with it for these untold years where the Manor spontaneously rotted to rot? And to where Bruce can still just waltz into the place like he owns it many years later?
