Wayne enterprises apparently encompasses stuff like defense industries and medical insurance; if someone who'd been denied healthcare insurance and was either dying or slowly watching their body die or fall apart on them killed Bruce in a similar fashion, how would his friends react?

Superman, the flash and even green lantern are portrayed as fairly understanding people (although Superman and Batman are literally best friends), but Wonder woman is decidedly not; thing is, if they found the shooter, some guy who could barely walk, perhaps shaking from whatever ailment that progressed because his health insurance decided to delay as long as possible (with the likely intent of waiting the guy's health out), what would they do? It's hard for me to imagine even Wonder woman hurting some guy who can barely stand, even though she's definitely one of the DC heroes who kills her enemies (or at least some of them).

I'd ask what if it was a person from the global South who'd been a victim of Wayne enterprises' defense industries but honestly given DC is an American company, I can easily imagine Western heroes pounding the heck out of an Arab or African person who'd lost loved ones to Wayne enterprises.

A pretty consistent thing is that Bruce does have connections to all the other diletantes and cultural and financial elites of the city. He actually has a very wide social circle. It just isn't very deep.

And a hostile bond market and divestment form the city wouldn't have corrected Gotham. You can't lack of investment your way out of the joker.
