Just to make sure I understand your position… Your theory is that if other people had Bruce Wayne’s money, they would spend it on advanced tech, weaponry and simultaneously devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective) and thus be able to save the universe when asked, despite no one else doing this? Like the only thing stopping people in the D.C universe from becoming Batman is because Bruce Wayne has more money than most people?a
What separates Bruce Wayne from other people apart from money?
The willingness to devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective.)
And here’s the thing, if your theory were correct there should be multiple Batmen. It’s bizzare to claim that somehow the existence of one billionaire means no one else is able to become one or devote their lives etc.
The reason is that Bruce Wayne is hoarding money and resources so others can’t do the same as him.
Yes, he is the only billionaire.
No, but he is one, so by definition he is hoarding money. Being a billionaire more than offsets any other societal good you might be doing.
We don’t remember Hitler for his good infrastructure policies either.

Yes. What separates Bruce Wayne from other people apart from money? I’m not saying everyone would do it, but some people would.
The willingness to devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective.)
