There are a ton of ways to make the Batman paradigm better. One would be just to have him go after his own kind: The Sacklers and Pfizer. The DeVosses and Constellis (formerly Academi, formerly Xe International, formerly Blackwater PMC), The Kochs and big oil and big automotive.
Batman doesn’t. He goes after street crime, even though elite deviance / white-collar crime causes more loss of life, more destruction and more cost than all the petty crime combined by multiple orders of magnitude.
So you’re not even effing trying. You’re making excuses for Detective Comics and should feel shame.

That would be more in character as a detective, but Batman’s been more an action hero for decades.
Maybe he could, maybe he should, maybe he would. The character might, but if the writers don’t, then that’s not on the character.
I’m taking batman, you’re talking the company writing him. So there’s no reason why I should feel shame, but you might for mixing up the two.
