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.

Yeah this conversation pops up at least once a week, and Batman is so prolific that I feel people not understanding this is a literacy problem.

It's also part of the 'wealthy people bad' circlejerk. I mean, I get it, but fucking hell, people. Does it really have to be every fucking thread in the fediverse?

This was a common discussion on Reddit as well

It feels significantly more omnipresent over here, though.

I think it's because of Lemmy's stronger left lean, especially amongst those around before the Reddit API fiasco.
