  • In the defense of Batman he does actually try to lift people out of poverty in lots of versions. Wayne industries is basically the only thing keeping Gotham vaguely functional because that city is quite literally cursed while also being in New Jersey.

    Like it varies by version but at least with the animated version Batman is dumping cash into charities, job programs, urban revitalization program, infrastructure expansion and repair, and probably some things I’m forgetting. Point is Batman knows that the difference between crime and prosperity is poverty, which he has done his best to eliminate, now he’s stuck with the personally and ideologically motivated as well as the weirdos. Hell some versions of Batman have cured Mr. Freeze and Nora once he found out what was going on with that.
