Batman's goal is to create a Gotham where he is not needed.
Hard to do when he doesn't fix the other issues in Gotham and he just beats up villains lol, man needs to use his wealth to influence politics for the better
He... does.
This is the "why didn't the eagles fly to Mordor" of the batman universe.
Yes and there have been other comics in alternate universes that prove that if he did more he could get rid of crime in gotham
And there are stories where Gotham is literally cursed to be evil. You start pulling edge cases and you throw out everything that matters. There's probably a story where Gotham and Metropolis switched vibes and Superman is an autocrat Spaze Nazi exterminating shoplifters and petty thugs
The alternate universe stuff muddies the water so much that it really doesn't have much weight.
Like trying to clean up Iraq while openly refusing to kill Osama bin Laden.
