    It’s an easy thing to assume is true because there is no such thing as a moral billionaire in real life which is why I always call it out.

    That said, Bruce Wayne is a conflicted individual. He carries opposing beliefs and his actions regularly betray his cause. But I think that’s kind of the point. He’s deeply flawed and still haunted by childhood trauma which he hasn’t healed from

      What comic run would you recommend that best illustrates this? My comment was more of a joke about ethical billionaires and capital worship, but I am genuinely interested in this angle if you have suggestions.

        The Wayne Family Adventures on Webtoon touches on the Trauma of the entire Bat-Family at various points. Though it’s usually light-hearted and funny, it hits harder than you’d expect here and there.

        There’s a couple seasons worth of comics you can binge for free to see if you like it. I may be a little biased, because I’ve always liked Jason Todd and his trauma gets touched on a few times.

        I don’t think there is a series that focuses on philanthropy, like I was saying it’s just kind of peppered in there because it’s boring content for a comic lol

        This is probably a bad example - Frank Miller has a series where he tries stopping gun violence through outreach and policy. Not really mental health or poverty but that’s where that panel of Batman breaking a gun in half comes from.
