Broadely , I would attribute it to things getting worse. And the increased awareness and reaction to things getting worse.
Sliding it neatly in with the rest of the modern pantheon of stories where, they don’t contest things are bad. It’s just that the villains want to solve the problems in a way that’s worse.

Batman in 2024 is full on the bad guy imo. How much good he could do for the city through his fortune and company. He could set up education programs, become a politician and help pass and fund real change. Instead he rather put on armor worth more than most homes, and beats the shit out of low income henchmen who probably keep working for these villains cause they can't get a job elsewhere. Also Batman is a pussy and indirectly responsible for murder for letting all those villains live, as per peacemaker.

everytime batman comes up someone mentions this and i always doubt if they ever watched the batman cartoon or watched a batman movie or read a batman comic book

Is the situation somehow explained there? Since I don't remember the cartoon or movies ever trying to explain this. I guess the only explanation I've heard is that it's for children so some plot holes like that are encouraged.

Different people write Batman differently. Every complaint and praise of Batman is going to be true just by the fact of how many people have written him.
