Eh, I agree with the idea for Superman, but it's a little different for Batman. Someone who watches Batman use his advanced gadgets and hi-tech vehicles can at least surmise that he has access to a lot of money.

OK. But you don't go: "How could Wonder Women afford invisible high-tech jet? She must be the owner of fortune 500 company". That because you know things. You have more information and assume it's general knowledge. People are just as likely to see batman as gadget-men, as magic-men or demon or mutant. Or alien. Superman have army of robots and he's poor. A lot of weird things in this world.

Also, you wouldn't assume that a rich guy in a corrupted city is going to save people lives without expecting anything in exchange

To be fair to the citizens of these worlds, their buildings are collapsing and being rebuilt all the time. Property is worthless in their world, and rent is practically zero.

The cost of living is low. They probably see a rich guy and think he's some new-money type cashing in on some new product before sinking into obscurity. Money means nothing to the people of these worlds, because it can all be taken away and replaced so quickly.

I bet rich guys come and go so fast in their world that no one blinks if they see a hobo with a crown

In a world where alien bugs and wizards give powers to children and its commong knowledge there is people living under the sea with way more advanced tech than anybody else, i dont think people can really separate if the gadgets are alien, magic or billionare tech.
