This is a 100% fair criticism of my comment tbh. I do have a pretty surface level understanding of Batman, and I let my real life frustration with billionaires inform the points in my comment. I’ll take it easier on Bruce Wayne but fuck all other billionaires.
It’s an easy thing to assume is true because there is no such thing as a moral billionaire in real life which is why I always call it out.
That said, Bruce Wayne is a conflicted individual. He carries opposing beliefs and his actions regularly betray his cause. But I think that’s kind of the point. He’s deeply flawed and still haunted by childhood trauma which he hasn’t healed from
What comic run would you recommend that best illustrates this? My comment was more of a joke about ethical billionaires and capital worship, but I am genuinely interested in this angle if you have suggestions.
I don’t think there is a series that focuses on philanthropy, like I was saying it’s just kind of peppered in there because it’s boring content for a comic lol
This is probably a bad example - Frank Miller has a series where he tries stopping gun violence through outreach and policy. Not really mental health or poverty but that’s where that panel of Batman breaking a gun in half comes from.

You might prefer Absolute Batman. He lives lower middle class, works blue collar jobs, and still has his mom.
