The main reason super man is better than batman is because superman is working class. There's no ethical way to be a billionaire, even if you inherit it.

Superman is an elite superhero who cosplays as working class
So elite he has trouble paying rent, sometimes.
The point of Superman is that he could BE the most elite being on the planet, but chooses instead to give himself to those who need it most
The second thing he ever did was throw a wife-beater through a wall
Clark fuckin rules
He's a journalist son of farmers though
And a hell of a good dad.
Anarchist Batman is the best Batman.
Him and his hat always pop into my thoughts, from time to time.
Superman was born with power and recognizes that he doesn't deserve it so he tries to use that power to help people whenever he can.
Batman was also born with power but decided that that wasn't enough so he travelled the world acquiring more power and then returned home to use that power to enforce his will while wearing a mask to escape accountability.
This conversation is missing the part where he says "all of them"
And then also dresses as a bat
Maybe it's changed over the last decade but not so much. Massive homeless problem, incredible mob presence, and a constantly filled forensic sanitarium.
If he made Gotham a better place he wouldn't be able to punch mentally ill people at night to get his dead parents to love him
In his defense Gotham is quite literally cursed, and not like one cure but multiple on top of each other. That's not even getting into the Court of Owls and the other secret society assholes, or the dark Eldritch gods for that matter.
Frankly speaking the best way to fix Gotham is probably just to dump all the napalm on it and then sink the city. Problem is I imagine that the city has relatively high home ownership with dirt cheap taxes due to the afformentioned issues meaning I doubt anyone will move out.
They tried that and the curse made ask the disasters hit Bludhaven instead. You can’t destroy Gotham.

Except Batman's saved Gotham and the world a few times. Presumably not being a billionaire would make that much harder. Personally, I think the continued existence of everyone we know and love is worth more than all of Bruce Wayne's wealth.
