It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. The irony being that Superman was first penned by people looking for a hero and Batman is kind of a reactionary answer to him. Community building was never in the lexicon here. And that is why, I think I realise, I really dislike most classic comics. It feels like a response to a collective trauma. Something something simple answers to complex problems.

(Edited for confusion on origin.)

Superman was penned in response to 1930's anti-semitism by two Jewish artists and is literally an adopted refugee baby.

Bruce has tried to do this a few times actually but the court of owls is pretty much the in universe explanation for why Gotham never gets better. Just like the real world, it's wealthy elites conspiring to make their lives better and the lower classes worse.
