“Sure, we could go out and put my billions to use helping the homeless and mentally ill and treating societal ills that lead to criminal behavior, but ehhh, I’m not really feeling it, boy wonder.”
In the defense of batman he does do that, the problem is that Gotham is quite literally cursed to be a shithole. Also the damned place is infested with secret societies dedicated to making it more of a shithole. Hell im pretty sure its implied that Gotham itself produces Supervillains as a form of antibodies.
