Not particularly to me anyway. Bruce does, canonically, do a lot of good things for charity. Most billionaires spend money on toys--why would it only be bad that Bruce Wayne's toys help in his role as Batman? And while there's plenty of other more far-range plans that would reduce crime (much of which Bruce also supports) it's not like there's something wrong with being a guy who stops a mugging in progress. That was something he decided he wanted to stop and he stops it. It doesn't seem any more selfish to me than him living more like his father, or how Tommy Hush would live with a lot of money. Even his heirs are kids who otherwise would have probably had nothing.
He's not solving all the world's problems, but I don't think he's particularly selfish or pathetic. Jezebel Jett probably could have fed a lot of people with the money she spent on designer clothing and jewelry.
