I think Wayne is like THE incredibly wealthy guy in Gotham and Batman has stuff like custom made planes and tanks in his arsenal. So yes probably not a straight conclusion that the vigilante with seemingly infinite resources must be the same as the other guy with tons of money from your city, but at the very least the conclusion can be drawn that they are most likely connected. Obviously this wouldn’t work in Los Angeles where half of the world’s billionaires hang out.
Depending on the era, Bruce himself was supposed to be seen as kind of worthless as a person. I think it made a lot more sense then, you’d never look at like Barron Trump and be like yeah, that guy’s really a relatively respected masked superhero.
The key of the disguise is exceptional lack of competency.

Also, i don’t expect a rich guy to fight for the people alone
Gotham looks like a New York type “centre of the world” city, with extremely wealthy people living there
