People pick on Batman because he's a billionaire, but most superheros are pro-cop, pro-establishment, and pro-government. They don't use their abilities for societal change, choosing instead to solve all problems by punching.

Show me a hero arc where the goal is anything but a return to the status quo.

Thanos literally saved life on Earth and some narcissistic billionaire jackass undid that with a bunch of stupid suckers buying his bullshit.
