    IIRC, one of the films noted that his parents had tried to fund serious reform in Gotham (I think the newest film, with Robert Pattinson?), and that corruption and crime siphoned off and diverted all the money away from the causes they were trying to support. I’m not sure if that’s cannon or not.

    Looking at a number of cities in the US that have historically had a serious problem with public corruption, it’s not really an either/or approach; you need to adequately fund public works, but you also need to fight the crime and corruption that tries to take all the public money away from the public.

        I think that it would just not be very interesting for a lot of people. Real legal fights are actually quite boring, and take an incredibly long time. Showing how the bad guys draw things out in thr courts and in the boardrooms, and making it interesting is def. a challenge.
