No, he pretends to be but deep down he cares more about justice.
Or at least that’s the version I’m used to from Christian Bale’s Batman and the games.
In the dark knight trilogy, Bruce intentionally lives on the streets for a few years and only goes back to use his money to fight injustice.
The whole point of Batman is a rich guy who has a very strong moral compass cause his parents were murdered. It’s not suppose to be realistic, it’s a fantasy.
I most loved how Kevin Conroy's Batman from the Animated Series portrayed this aspect of the character. Conroy did measurably different voices for Batman and Bruce which made it completely clear that Bruce was the false persona being put on for appearances while Batman was the real voice and personality, and also sold how good Batman was at pretending to be Bruce when needed. Conroy's Batman isn't just a ninja genius detective, he's also a good actor, and to portray that as well as he did Conroy had to be an awesome actor.
Conroy's Bruce Wayne is as close to his "normal" speaking voice as I've ever heard, but he makes it sound like an affect in ways that are hard to describe. He was truly a great one.
People liked Batfleck because he was the closest to comic Batman looks-wise. Tall, physically imposing, square jaw, rugged, etc. He was also the best part of the Snyder movies and that’s a low bar. His version was also an older, disillusioned Bruce/Batman which is why he was more prick-ish.
