That's kinda what I mean as far as suspension of disbelief is, concerned: billions would fix any city unless you aren't trying to fix anything and no matter how smart you are you won't stand up to someone with actual superpowers without a metric ton of plot armor. Like a kryptonian, someone with the speed force or even just magic could vaporize batman with barely any effort.

Like the comics and other media where batman is up against just normal humans I can understand though still not my favourites but the ones where he's against actual superpowers you usually get some bullshittery.

I'm no expert in comics by a long shot but that's just been my impression when I did read some batman. The one where batman was actually a patient in arkham and all the villains were just doctors, guards and patients was my favourite though.

Tell that to Boston, which squandered 22 Billion dollars on a highway project disaster. Boston may have had a huge issue with corruption, but Gotham is literally cartoonishly corrupt and decrepit.

Yea, that's what I'm implying, batman is either corrupt, stupid or unrealistic when it comes to helping Gotham with money.

I kinda like the depiction of him as an out of touch billionaire(The type that thinks bread costs 50 bucks or doesn't know people pay for housing) that just builds orphanages or something but has no idea on how to actually fix issues, just believes he does. That would be quite realistic actually.
