I actually share the sentiment. I've often felt that Superman is enhanced by his connections to the wider universe while Batman isn't. Batman looks either extremely incompetent or intentionally letting Gotham stay so screwed up. I mean when he's building billion dollar satellites to monitor meta humans his inability to do anything about the cardboard nature of Arkham looks really silly esp since Bruce Wayne is on the freaking board of directors and has direct input into how it is run.

I think it really shows itself in the live action adaptations. Superman only seems to work when they focus more on the Clark side of things since without the wider DC universe to draw on Superman often has to be written as dumb muscle to give the villains a shot which is a disservice to the character.

Batman on the other hand in the live action adaptations without the rest of the DCU can really shine because he's allowed to be more human most of the time. They don't have to do things like having him survive battle with clone doomsdays and such.
