That is probably because Batman doesn’t pay taxes, Bruce Wayne does.
And Bruce Wayne is known for spending tons of the Wayne foundation on helping the poor and criminalized. Tons of charities, schools, orphanages, homeless shelters, … are funded by them.
And if Bruce gets tax breaks because of that, it is because that is how the law works, not because he wants them.
Bruce is far from the average Billionaire you get in our dimension.
I love Batman (currently replaying the Rocksteady games for the 3rd time) and I grew up with him and cannot really relate to Superman since I am not a farm boy.
But it is very easy to see how Batman is in fact a fascist-capitalist fantasy.
A rich man who takes things in his own hands on a whim, infiltrating public order tech, hoarding personal data on virtually everyone in Gotham (at least) if not resorting to real-time surveillance by infiltrating personal devices (in The Dark Knight).
The idea that he “does good” by deciding a subset of all possible activities on which to spend his money and never spends himself on releasing that decision power to the public is exactly what brought the US where they are and what they hate viscerally about the EU (even if the sliding is real here as well).

By your reasoning, is also because Superman probably doesn’t pay taxes, Clark Kent dies
Bruce Wayne doesn’t exist, it’s merely a disguise Batman sometimes wears.
