Instead he should be paying higher taxes so the city/state can have more money to build a bigger and stronger social safety net instead of relying on the good will of the wealthy to take care of their problems. Maybe then they’d have less troubled people fucking shit up, if they can provide mental health care to people.
Instead he should be paying higher taxes so the city/state can ~have more money to build a bigger and stronger social safety net~ funnel more money to the organized crime syndicates well known to operate at all levels of Gotham’s government.
if they’re corrupt Bruce should be able to buy them instead of using all his obscene wealth to build more bat themed contraptions and vehicles like an insane person.
Or he could be doing both.
Shockingly enough people can do multiple things, especially in a fictional world full of superhuman ability.
Gotham is super polluted right? So it would actually make sense if he was a bit insane from it like everyone else there.
They’re corrupt because of the Mafia. Who killed Thomas Wayne for standing against them. Mob corruption has less to do with money and more to do with threats and blackmail. Bribes are just entrapment. Bruce Wayne can do fuck all against that.
Seriously, any “why didn’t Bruce do ___ instead of be Batman?” Has been answered in the comics.
