My favorite depiction of Batman is the Harley Quinn TV show, where he (third season spoilers):

Batman could solve more crime by domating some of his vast wealth to support the impoverished in Gotham than he ever does by beating up criminals.

Isn’t it canon that he does that a lot already?
It’s just that it’s like filling a sieve with a tap. Unless you block the holes, you’re never going to get anywhere.

Yep. Batman deals with immediate problems, like someone being mugged, and Bruce deals with long term problems, like governmental corruption. And Bruce actually is fairly consistently depicted as having made progress there. Supervillains and the Court of Owls continue to be problems, but he’s usually dismantled the local mafias and cut down on police corruption inside of a few years.

Yeah this conversation pops up at least once a week, and Batman is so prolific that I feel people not understanding this is a literacy problem.

It’s also part of the ‘wealthy people bad’ circlejerk. I mean, I get it, and I tend to agree, but fucking hell, people. Does it really have to be every fucking thread in the fediverse?
