A massive part of the character has always been him donating to charity, start up foundations, and finding ways to help people. Like yeah, it is a valid critique that all the villains are depicted as neurodivergent, this does not make it batman's in universe fault that he has to fight them. The writing is built not to resolve, so every time he makes some fix to gotham it gets undone. That's a critique of the comics industry as a whole, not batman's in-universe failing. It bothers me that people criticize the character batman, who often is doing the best he can in the stories he is in, instead of the story itself. It's just as weirdly thermian to act like gotham's problems are his fault.

no one here likely cares about batmans 'in universe fault', this is a meta-analysis of the franchise as a media product. avoid diegetic essentialism

The post is about how the charavter would react to real world politics
