Wayne for Mayor [nerd argument]

[Magic_Marker]

Why the fuck has this issue not been tackled? Bruce Wayne would be a logical choice for mayor of Gotham. His tragic past and degrees in criminal psychology and other relevent degrees make him a serious contender if he ever were to run on a platform of decreasing crime. His stint as Batman has given him the knowledge of who is and isn't truthworthy in the GCPD and legal system. He has a working knowledge of the crime families and the degrees to prove that if you can offer criminals a chance at rehabilitation (a fair chance mind you) crime, as a whole goes down.

Things Bruce could do as Mayor:

-Issue a special taskforce armed like batman to do investigative work throughout Gotham.

-Tackle the social issues underlying the criminal element by investing in Gotham schools.

-Allow for the proper treatment of criminals in Arkham, who has been either a malevolent for of pure evil making innocent men into psycho killers, or just plain ineffectual at both containment and rehabilitation.

In effect, he could use his influence and wealth to insure that Gotham wouldn't *need* Batman. Why the fuck doesn't he at least try to run?
