It’s not just Lemmy but Reddit too, I have a feeling it must just be people who have only seen the movies. I’m not sure if the animated shows showed any of his philanthropy, but there are certainly examples of it throughout the comics.
Comment on Bat is the way

A post completely misunderstanding Batman on Lemmy? Must be a day that ends in “y”.

I always wonder what social service is going to stop Darkseid etc.

There are plenty of superpower-through-techology heroes in DC, so a solid public education would probably do it.
If you’re working on a “Batman can stop Darkseid alone” theory, then it logically follows that any well-trained and equipped group could also stop Darkseid, probably better than Batman can. So the priority should be that.

Except in DC most groups can’t stop threats like Darkseid. There’s a reason the top group is the Justice League and a reason Batman is one of the founding members.
If you’re theory held, there should be all sorts of justice leagues etc.

The reason is that Bruce Wayne is hoarding money and resources so others can’t do the same as him.

The military, isn’t that what they’re for?

I’m pretty sure most of the time the Justice League saved the world it’s not because they were just giving the military a break.
