There are some evils in Gotham that charity cannot solve. Bruce Wayne actively contributes to the city's wellbeing through his company, endorsing charities and raising funds to improve the overall quality of life. However, the likes of the Joker and other members of his rogues gallery are often beyond rehabilitation, and so he takes up the mantle of the Dark Knight to ensure they can't rob anymore children of their parents.

My shower thought really started a hot topic jesus

all I’m saying is the man in comics games n movies leaves ppl with probs tens of thousands of medical bills worth of injuries when they’re already fighting for scraps so is he more of an anti-hero in acknowledgment to this context rather than an overall do gooder 

maybe he just is just an XP grinder and needs levels and Gotham is just his mob farm 

Depends on which version of Batman we are talking about. Some are more brutal than others, it's true, such as Frank Miller's interpretation of the character. However, what separates him from anti-heroes is the fact he lives by a moral code. Although Bruce has no qualms in beating criminals senseless, he refuses to kill and often gives people a chance at reform or at the very least to surrender. He has shown sympathy to foes like Mr Freeze, who became a villain in trying to save his terminally ill wife, and frequently assists the Gotham Police in carrying out their duties.
