Iron-Man? yes. Batman's the epitome of "i'm a victim of the same broken city as everyone else, except i have the money and the name to fight it."

Defense contractors. Sure they do good, but profit off the military industrial complex. Hence I said centrists.

He has quit the military industry, for a long time now.

IIRC Batman specifically invests in nonlethal weaponry and body armor ONLY. Because he ends up using any prototypes as batman.

I don't keep up. Nice of the writers to notice the issue.

It has been the case since at least the 90s, if I remember correctly.

Also helps that he actively runs charities, hires ex-cons and has multiple programs/foundations aimed at reducing poverty. He also makes it a habit (as batman) to just talk to folks. If anything, Bruce H A T E S the idle rich almost as much as he hates criminals. Doesn't help there's overlap.

I saw somewhere as well where he made sure everyone working for Wayne Tech has incredible benefits, and is paid a good wage.

It doesn't help that the Batman begins series is the most popular version of batman for non comic book fans. In that series he does do military work. They also cut out the good Bruce does to make him a stereotypical playboy

The charities are a cover. It's classic charity-washing.
