This is the "why didn't the eagles fly into Mordor" of batman.
Short answer: he does put money into the community, but Gotham is literally cursed so batman still needs to stop mega terrorists every Saturday.
Is it literally cursed though or is he just not actually putting in the funds needed to see any real change because he still wants to be unnecessarily rich?
I tend to guess it's the latter since this is what happens in real life.
Yup, off the top of my head it has a lazarus pit beneath it that created Solomon Grundy, a cult summoned a bat god named Barbatos that was imprisoned, the original founders pissed off a witch who cursed it, the people behind arkham asylum were cultists who experimented on patients, AND the goddamn court of owls exist. It's both literally and metaphorically cursed.
Batman is seriously holding the entire city on his back.
It is literally cursed, three times over. IIRC in one continuity it has a portal to hell under it.
Oh, I didn't know that! Very interesting. Thanks!
Then I guess we can't entirely blame Bruce Wayne.
