Also .... we were all comfortable and accepting of a super hero fighting crime with his billions of dollars of wealth to buy military hardware, vehicles and new tech to fight villains one at a time ... instead of doing something constructive changing the corrupt political system or like feeding the poor or funding public housing
He spent spend his billions fighting the symptoms of the problem .... rather than going after the root causes
Why do so many people think he doesn't spend money on things like that? Is it because the movies don't really show it, and that's a lot of people's only impression of him? He does plenty to try and improve Gotham's situation as Bruce Wayne, but the place is literally cursed, so no amount of money can fix it.
Because he's still a billionaire
Of course he is, because both his playboy persona and activities as Batman require him to have someone else manage his wealth for him. Publicly he's Wayne Enterprises' pretty boy and the board is making the actual decisions. Privately, all he has the time for is to see that they don't go all evil behind his back.
Money gets made with or without you. And when you're in that kind of position, you either stay around and make sure a larger part of it gets used for doing good or you walk away and be sure others will hoard and use it for doing bad.
Gotham is canonically cursed though. The place turns people evil and crazy.
