On the other hand, we'll never catch him beating up corrupt leaders.

Well actually he does that sometimes. Bat-Man Off World (coming to a close this week) has him facing off against the rulers of the Blakksun Mining Co. which enslaves planets worth of people to run its ship (and perpetual storm forcefeild) and mining operations, and kills dissenters horrifically somehow off panel. The colorist is doing a great job.

In Batman Year Zero, his very first act was confronting the rich. And in The Dark Knight Returns, he simply talked to a corrupt general, and said general resigned in an unusual yet honest way afterwards, shall we say.
