if they’re corrupt Bruce should be able to buy them instead of using all his obscene wealth to build more bat themed contraptions and vehicles like an insane person.
I’ve said this elsewhere but adult comics fans are very fragile about it. My main problem with Batman is he’s so clearly insane, but DC for some reason makes Superman go insane while portraying Batman as this moral compass of the entire universe, where it should be the opposite. Superman is literally the super man, an immensely powerful visitor from outer world who nevertheless is kind and considerate (hear that, Snyder? fuck you and your gray ass world). a shining example of what humanity can be. Batman is someone who was fucked up by a terrible trauma and decided to dress up like a bat, make bat shaped toys and punch small time baddies saying shit like “I am the night” or whatever. it’s literally psychotic.
You’re right, because bribing people to support you instead of someone else also paying them is a surefire way to lose a lot of money to little effect.
They’re not exactly the most conscionable group, unlikely to act in a positive way just because someone flashes a few bills in front of their face. Likely they’d take his money, then do what they’ve always been doing anyways, cause that way they make twice as much to do it.

Gotham is super polluted right? So it would actually make sense if he was a bit insane from it like everyone else there.

Or he could be doing both.
Shockingly enough people can do multiple things, especially in a fictional world full of superhuman ability.
but he’s not doing both

Ah ok I get it.
