Why doesn't Bruce Wayne run for mayor of Gotham? By day

Batman once ran for mayor in order to stop the Penguin from getting the job.

He lost.

A mayor of a big city needs to be available at all hours.

>>94376361
Mayor Brice Wayne wouldn't be able to help as much as CEO and Brain Child of Wayne Enterprises(TM) and the Dark Knight

He has more freedom and technically even more influence because dozens of potential mayors would want his support

Didn't they bring this up like twice?

Gotham's Mayor constantly has to run out and do shit in the middle of the night. People would notice if he disappeared for most of the day every day.

well maybe Brice Wayne wouldn't be much help, but what about his brother Bruce?

Gordon as Mayor,
Grayson gets promoted to commissioner,
Wayne is the financial backer, and philanthropist,
Jason is the new Batman,
Drake is a P.I.

Crime in Gotham becomes manageable.

>>94376599
He's the owner of Wayne Enterprises; the CEO and brainchild is Lucius Fox.

>Jason is the new Batman,
wouldn't he just kill people, or has he grown out of that, I don't read Red Hood

>>94377003
Damian as Major
Drake gets promoted to commisioner
Jason is financial backer, and philantropist
Gordon is new Batman
Bruce is a P.I.
Grayson spends his nights fucking dumb sluts

This is the optimal state of things.

>>94376361
Because Ollie already did that plot.

When you said Batman ran for mayor I assumed you meant Bruce, not actually Batman

>>94377038
He doesn't kill people when he's working under the bat

>>94377038
Less grown out of it and more restraining himself to set a good example for Bizarro

>>94377069
>Grayson spends his nights fucking dumb sluts
So Dick doesn't have to change at all

>Do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be mayor?

>>94376599

If Bruce wanted to help he'd kill the Joker.

Why? Last Bat book I read was Death of the Family and Bruce explicitly says he's OK with Jason killing people.

Rebirth storyline.

>>94376361
Because then most of his time would have to be spent doing ineffective mayor stuff.
