Growing up my favorite hero boy was Batman, but its getting really hard to appreciate a character whos main premise is "I'm a billionaire that beats up poor people in a capitalist hellscape because I don't have a healthy way to deal with my personal trauma".

Is there any saving him or is there a version of batman that can exist inside of a left narrative? Maybe there's an existing comic that has tackled this problem, but I'm not really deep into the...ahem...literature.

Maybe Ninja Batman?

    Batman eventually became a grown man and the head of an anarchistic terrorist network that sees the abundance forced upon the people by Superman's system as little more than oppression

    The people want the freedom to starve! Think of all the poor bourgeois pigs, unable to extract surplus value from the workers.

    And then he joins forces with Lexcorp rofl
