In the Batman CW show and comics (and I’m going to use DC canon lore for the CW show too), Batman’s mother, Martha Wayne, whose maiden name is Kane, comes from an extremely wealthy family. The Kanes are just as wealthy as the Waynes and even own a chemical company that makes Jacob Kane (Kate’s dad) a billionaire on his own. So why would Kate join the army if her entire fucking family are billionaires?
