Especially sine as it has been brought up before, that Batman would be more effective against crime if he used his money more to fund more anti-crime programs, feed the hungry,and funnel more money to the cops and better equip them to battle Gotham's criminal element."</i><br /><br />Bruce Wayne absolutely does do that. There's a small thread running through Morrisons run where Batman stops a girl living on the streets who's commiting petty crimes, and gets her a job with Wayne Enterprises.<br /><br />The cliche (after "Bruce Wayne is the mask, Batman is the real person") is that all Batman does is punch robbers and the mentally insane, but he's also constanlty funding new developments, hospitals, setting up charities. Bruce Wayne does as much for that city as Batman does.LiamKavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996095233681105682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-68591045005387019982015-05-25T15:27:38.054-03:002015-05-25T15:27:38.054-03:00Sure.
