Why didn’t Batman reduce crimes by solving poverty first? Did he ever hire poor people to prevent them from becoming criminals? I remember Batman redeemed and rehabilitated Plastic man. Anyone else?

how many times do you dumbasses need to be told that's exactly what the Wayne Foundation does??
>>153530734I always interpreted the spirit of Gotham is a corrupt city of madness and despair, and that Bruce Wayne cannot truly solve the problem of evil that rules over it.
Aren't there multiple comic issues about Bruce hiring former goons, putting them through college, and then employing them at his company and various subsidies?There are unlimited goons in Gotham though. You can't walk two steps without someone walking up begging to goon for you.The goon economy is the only thing in Gotham that is still booming (apart from the guy who sells abandoned warehouses). No matter how many of them Bruce tries to employ, no matter how many he saves from the goon lifestyles, there are just ever more goons.
>>153530734Damn anon, no one’s ever once brought this up and I think you’ve figured out how to get comics back into a mainstream audience, just have Bruce writing checks for twenty pages every issue
>>153530814> Been gooning for Harley and Poison Ivy for yearsYou telling me I can get paid for it?
>>153530734There are several incarnations that show him doing that exact thing.
>>153530734Bruce Wayne does do philanthropy and tries to systematically change Gotham as a member of the billionaire class but he also needs to use Batman to change the aspects of Gotham that Bruce Wayne can’t affect. Only Batman can strike crippling paranoia into organized crime lords like Falcone or Kingpin.
Why don't we replace cops with delivery men handing out cash to criminals?
>>153530734The Wayne foundation is literally the only charity left in Gotham. Are you stupid or did you never read a single comic
>>153530734>Why didn’t Batman reduce crimes by solving poverty first?Because it never, ever works.
>>153532175Oh, you want Bankman, not Batman.
>>153530734It's way less fun to read about Bruce Wayne going to board meetings, building parks in the community, creating jobs, and setting up affordable health care clinics than it is to see him dress up like a bat and beat the shit out of people.
>>153531265Bruce Wayne hands out blank checks to poors and criminals during the day.Batman forcefully retrieves them by night.
>>153530734He has put more funding into Gotham through the Wayne Foundation than most countries GDP.
>>153532509Jesus, the order was hard to figure out.
>>153532621And it was the best that money could buy!
