It’s true. If Bruce Wayne / Batman cared about fighting crime, he’d go after the root causes: desperation, corruption, inequality, etc. Instead he focuses on fighting criminals.
I’m pretty sure there was at least one comic where he openly admits he knows beating up people in alleys doesn’t change the system, but he’s a fundamentally broken person who needs to keep doing it.

I like that you made that distinction.
