The Wayne Foundation is a charity organization run by Thomas Wayne and Wayne Enterprises. For a time, Bruce Wayne lived in its office building's penthouse to be closer to the city.

The Wayne Foundation funds medical scientific research and helps people with research by providing facilities and training.

Bruce's first action as head of the Wayne Foundation, was the creation of a new program called "Victims, Inc. Program" (VIP), which would help the victims of crimes who need financial support.

The Martha Wayne Foundation is a patron and supporter of arts, families, education, and tolerance. The foundation supports and helps to run a number of orphanages and free schools, and provides teachers for those who have learning difficulties. Artists can apply for grants from the foundation to help support them in furthering the arts. The foundation sponsors companies like Family Finders. Family Finders is an organization directed at finding lost people and uniting families. The Martha Wayne Foundation also sponsors and runs dozens of soup kitchens within the city.

Isn't it canon in some of the comic books that Gotham is legitimately cursed and it doesn't matter how much charity and good works Wayne does, it's just always going to be bad?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That and also rampant corruption. You can only do so much within the system when the system is rotten.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Fair, but ultimately also an excuse. He is the batman, he could beat the shit ouf of the entire political establishment and the corrupt big money paying them. Who else if not he, with his super advanced gadgets and tech? He could overcome the security systems and personnel those people employ better than anyone else in Gotham.

You're cutting the head off the hydra at that point.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that's the plot of Batman.

[–] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Thanks for letting us know you've never read batman?

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Democracy not a thing for ol batman?

[–] hakase@lemm.ee 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A post completely misunderstanding Batman on Lemmy? Must be a day that ends in "y".

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

It's not just Lemmy but Reddit too, I have a feeling it must just be people who have only seen the movies. I'm not sure if the animated shows showed any of his philanthropy, but there are certainly examples of it throughout the comics.

I always wonder what social service is going to stop Darkseid etc.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are plenty of superpower-through-techology heroes in DC, so a solid public education would probably do it.

If you're working on a "Batman can stop Darkseid alone" theory, then it logically follows that any well-trained and equipped group could also stop Darkseid, probably better than Batman can. So the priority should be that.

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Except in DC most groups can't stop threats like Darkseid. There's a reason the top group is the Justice League and a reason Batman is one of the founding members.

If you're theory held, there should be all sorts of justice leagues etc.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 hours ago

The reason is that Bruce Wayne is hoarding money and resources so others can't do the same as him.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The military, isn't that what they're for?

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 0 points 18 hours ago

I'm pretty sure most of the time the Justice League saved the world it's not because they were just giving the military a break.

Mass murdering, those are responsible for cutting public assistance. Programs is a legitimate superhero power don’t knock it.

If all of the billionaires around me were suddenly murdered, and a respectable public order came to replace them, I would be all for supporting that.
