I appreciate that the Wayne Foundation has often been presented as a huge charitable organization in the city.

I think it is really just my issue - at some point, the idea of superheroes, especially nonpowered or low powered superheroes, fighting street crime just stopped making sense to me - it seems like such an impractical approach.

I seem to remember a Spider Man comic where he is teaching younger characters about going on "patrol", and they point out all the flaws in that approach, which I thought was entertaining.

Of course, that's really my problem, not the comics, since it has long been a staple of the superhero genre!
