As for the topic at hand, yes, I would be fine with a more anonymous Bruce Wayne. Plenty of rich people who stay out of the spotlight. I remember watching a video of Bob Iger on Jimmy Kimmel and lots of people remarked that it's their first time seeing the guy and had no idea how he looked like. If I had any say in how the Bat mythology is written, I would have Wayne Enterprises as one of the many companies operating in Gotham. Wealthy but still have to watch out for Daggett Industries/GothCorp/Powers Technology/Grant Walker's Industries. The Wayne Family murder wasn't a huge event like the Kennedy assassination, it's something that happened one day, dominated the news cycles for a few weeks then every one moved onto something else. In this day and age of social media Bruce Wayne would be under constant media surveillance and wouldn't have been able to become Batman if the Wayne's were basically royalty. Bruce Wayne would need some anonymity to pull off the years of training and transformation into Batman. I would take it a step further and have Bruce Wayne run Wayne Foundation using his wealth on charitable causes while Lucius runs Wayne Enterprises as CEO but Bruce holds majority so he has some say in how the business is run. Billionaires are largely people who hoard wealth, the amount of wealth they accumulate become something to brag about. If Bruce Wayne is constantly spending his wealth on stuff like Justice League satellites, donating to hospitals, clinics and universities, he would be on the verge of falling from billionaire to millionaire, which would be in keeping with the character. While in reality it's difficult to imagine rich guy being this charitable, I think it's possible to allow some leeway in fiction. Other rich guys, including Luthor would look down on Bruce Wayne. Seeing him as a well meaning idiot giving away too much money and not using it 'the right way'. This extends to Bruce's public persona. However, the people who work closely with Bruce at Wayne Enterprises know that he is far smarter than most people think. Even Lex eventually comes to realize that Bruce Wayne is no idiot and may in fact be a wise man playing the fool.
