If you want to be entertained, watch the news because that's where the clowns and the circus are at

If you want some truth, find a comic.

A man going to extreme lengths to find treatment for his dying wife in a society that does not care doesn’t exactly ring hollow to me.

Fun fact... Mr. Freeze's wife and that entire back story was created from the cartoon series. He did not have any of that prior.
