“Would give his life to save a random child”, yet doesn’t use any of his money to finance affordable housing projects in Gotham.

Batman doesn’t do that, Bruce Wayne does. He is extremely philanthropic and his family was too. Plus I can support him over supporting the absolute disaster that is the Gotham Police Department.

Here’s someone else’s research, but either way the Wayne family is known to have been extremely philanthropic throughout the comics. Sorry bud, Batman is indeed the good guy

People like OP remind me that there are, indeed, those who think Batman is worse than people with genocidal tendencies just because his daddy was rich.

I used to be one of those people, even advocated for retiring the character because “Rich guy who beats up the mentally ill… not a relatable hero for millenials…”

But I realized that was the result of a poor understanding of the character and oversimplification of the themes.

Batman is usually the number 1 guy adovcating for the very people he regularly fights to given the chance for rehabilitation.

Not solely incarceration but a legitimate chance to re enter society and build a respectable career.

The exception is Frank Miller who tends to write Batman like a fascist, but… that’s because Frank Miller is a fascist with a warped sense of morality and reality.

The comics strongly imply he does, but the city is just THAT corrupt, to the point that even with his checkbook and super hero work, it’s still a tall order.
