    Why isn’t Batman fighting corruption and beating up judges, cops and politicians? Cause he’s out crippling a dozen poor people who had no other way to make money than to work for the joker or whoever

      He did fight corruption and beat up corrupt judges and politicians in his early career, but it doesn’t work. Gotham is corrupt on a cultural level, like Russia on steroids. There is nothing you can do to ‘fix’ Gotham. There is literally no incentive you can give them that will make it not corrupt. You could go “Everyone in Gotham gets $10,000,000! Free housing, healthcare, everything!” and the guy whose job it is to distribute that money would suddenly be $100,000,000,000,000 richer and exactly nothing would change.
