ill informed

And this is where I ask if I even give you the time of day. I don't think you understand the failures of modern charity in contrast to, say, the general fund of an actually-democratic society.

In fact, Oakland, California IRL is doing a lot of the things that Gotham should be doing including food banks and low-income housing projects, but also extending the list of 911 responders to provide alternatives to a police force that is eager to escalate to violence and can't handle mental health crises, kids programs, school breakfast and lunch programs. You know, the kinds of things that an actual society might do.

Unless you're arguing there's a literal magical curse on the city of Gotham, in which case no amount of face-punching thugs is going to help either, and DC's writing is proving as consistent as ever.

I posted below in more depth regarding the serious failure of the Batman paradigm, and would argue the fantasy is as much utopianism as Starship Troopers.

It's so on the nose, it almost feels like bait.
