Essentially it is one billionaire against a dozen billionaires.
One billionaire with all the high-tech toys in the world. He could easily bug all these billionaires and expose them. It seems to me that if he wanted real lasting change, they’d be his primary targets. Sure, occasionally there’s a storyline like that, but it’s rare.
If you want to stay rich, you don’t fuck with the other rich people
Which is one of the most corrupt points of view you can have. Is staying rich so important to Batman that he’ll turn a blind eye to the misdeeds of the other rich people?
It’s basically the corrupt effective altruist playbook. Sure, I could help with these issues, but I can most effectively fix the world if I’m ultra rich, so my focus is going to be becoming / staying ultra rich, then I’ll do a bit of charity on the side.
