Wuhhh i still got it in me.. .

Matt Reeves said he is doing a villain that hasn’t been done on the big screen

So, I was watching "Everything GREAT About The Batman!" and the narrator plays the scene where we see Bruce's actual face outside the suit for the first time and Bruce says "I can't change things here. I can't have an effect. I don't care what happens to me" and the narrator says that it might sound noble, or even be noble, that it's a common criticism of Batman, that someone this richs thinks that dressing up as a bat and punching people is the only real way to help people and have an effect, but that this is a reminder how early in his career Bruce is and how he's not doing okay mentally. I agree with that, but I would also like to ask, why does he think that? What has be done beyond dress as a bat and punch people. I think people tend to forget that Bruce Wayne, especially in everybody's beloved Batman: The Animated Series, is also a heavy philanthropist and the set up to a lot of his batwork tends to be that he's introduced to the crime because of his philanthropy (think Mr Freeze being introduced at a gala, Poison Ivy at the breaking of ground of a new building, etc, etc), he's a CEO of a massive company that all but runs Gotham, he hires people in an effort to turn their lives around, hoping they'll become a stable part of society again, he tries his fucking best, even when he fails, even when he puts the wrong people in charge (the man can't know everything going on at his company, especially if folks are trying to hide it or it happened before he took the reins). I really hope, if we ever get a sequel, we get to see Bruce Wayne actually take the mantle as CEO at Wayne Enterprises and root out the corruption (which I think is a part of why Bruce claims he can't have an impact, not just the very obvious depression and guilt and anger) in WE.
