How about better mental health services besides an asylum that radicalizes them further?
I mean Harley was Joker’s therapist at one point so…
It’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. The irony being that Superman was first penned by people looking for a hero and Batman is kind of a reactionary answer to him. Community building was never in the lexicon here. And that is why, I think I realise, I really dislike most classic comics. It feels like a response to a collective trauma. Something something simple answers to complex problems.

I expected this take in the xweet
In unrelated news Wayne industries blames “harmful and unreasonable” government regulations, threatens to move to Metropolis.
It’s not like he didn’t have the money to create the organization. Gotham City is just firefighter arson to Bruce Wayne.
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.
