Batman’s the obvious one, billionaire with military grade toys endlessly playing out his revenge fantasy of beating up poor people, whilst doing nothing to combat the actual causes of poverty or petty crime which is the real reason for his parents death.
Similarly the scarlet pimpernel ( saving the French monarchist families to come back and fight for their estates another day ).
It makes a lot more sense if you start headcanoning that Batman is mentally unstable and racked with survivor’s guilt/obsession for revenge against the people he thinks caused his parents’ death.
Or that he’s straight up working for the bourgeois and his goal isn’t actually to stop crime or protect innocent people. Actually, this would explain why the Gotham City government (or the feds for that matter) isn’t shutting down his whole operation.
Ya I’m inclined towards the second one, mainly because he’s protected, and he can be held up and sold to the masses as a hero saving gotham, but actually not doing much. Great cop propaganda value.

If Batman was real, he’d end up on /c/acab every day.
