It’s not just Lemmy but Reddit too, I have a feeling it must just be people who have only seen the movies. I’m not sure if the animated shows showed any of his philanthropy, but there are certainly examples of it throughout the comics.
There are plenty of superpower-through-techology heroes in DC, so a solid public education would probably do it.
If you’re working on a “Batman can stop Darkseid alone” theory, then it logically follows that any well-trained and equipped group could also stop Darkseid, probably better than Batman can. So the priority should be that.
Except in DC most groups can’t stop threats like Darkseid. There’s a reason the top group is the Justice League and a reason Batman is one of the founding members.
If you’re theory held, there should be all sorts of justice leagues etc.
Just to make sure I understand your position… Your theory is that if other people had Bruce Wayne’s money, they would spend it on advanced tech, weaponry and simultaneously devote their lives to training in all forms of combat and gymnastics and push themselves past Olympic mastery (as well as all the esoteric knowledge and studying required to become the world’s greatest detective) and thus be able to save the universe when asked, despite no one else doing this? Like the only thing stopping people in the D.C universe from becoming Batman is because Bruce Wayne has more money than most people?a
A post completely misunderstanding Batman on Lemmy? Must be a day that ends in “y”.

I always wonder what social service is going to stop Darkseid etc.

The reason is that Bruce Wayne is hoarding money and resources so others can’t do the same as him.
Yes, he is the only billionaire.
No, but he is one, so by definition he is hoarding money. Being a billionaire more than offsets any other societal good you might be doing.
We don’t remember Hitler for his good infrastructure policies either.

The military, isn’t that what they’re for?
I’m pretty sure most of the time the Justice League saved the world it’s not because they were just giving the military a break.
