    In the recent movies, he, or the Wayne foundation, does give a lot of money to charities in the city, and built the monorail system as well.

      I thought his parents built/funded the monorail?

        The comic writers aren’t researching the technical details. The important part is is that they built public transit.

        I mean, it’s essentially just the metro… but above ground. Except that above ground location is out of the way of existing ground-layer infrastructure like sidewalks and roads.

        In essence, it’s just the benefits of a metro line with the added benefit of taking up less space from existing areas that can be used for transport. If you already have roads, sidewalks, and metro lines in an area, a monorail can just be another way to get around on top of all that without sacrificing space.

        I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it’s a cool mode of transit, and can be genuinely useful in some cases.

      He doesn’t in The Batman (2022). But that’s because it’s a Bruce Wayne origin story. Batman hasn’t created his secret identity yet.
