Have enough money to solve almost any social issue, but put on a weird black latex suit and beat up the mentally unstable at night instead. (feddit.de)

Simply handing drug dealers and corrupt politicians a boatload of money isn't likely to do much of anything - he'd be bankrupt in a year and the city worse off than when he started. That's why the Harvey Dent arc was so crucial: Batman can only do so much in the shadows, but what the city really NEEDED was a hero who could operate in the light of day (though he still needed support from the shadows).

Ofc the real answer is that the premise of the franchise is based on Batman punching people, as in physically, so his goal isn't even saving the city so much as making satisfying wham bam pow sounds.

More "political" franchises are fewer and further between, which is why Star Wars and to a lesser degree Trek (in this regard) were so popular. Both involved a radical, violent and bloody overthrow of the corrupt forces (Trek having been in the past but in Wars it happening "live" and being the central feature).

Did I say, "hand them money" or "properly fund"?

What part of "proper" says, "hand money over, no strings attached" to you?

A serious and properly written Batman would be even better than The Boys. I love how everyone pretends it'd somehow turn Bruce in to a typical politician...
