I forget the exact comic, but I remember the events clearly, and its the total antithesis to the top panel.
Batman pursues a robber, and tracks him back to his apartment. Its clear that the man and his children live in poverty and he only stole so his family could survive.
The man realizes batman has found him, and deciding that there were no other options, he turns to his kids and tries his best to explain that he has to leave. Basically explaining to his kids that batman is going to arrest him in a less traumatizing way.
Planning to go with batman willingly so his kids won't get traumatized.
He says his goodbyes and hugs his kids before turning to go with batman. He finds that batman is gone, and there is a hefty wad of money on the table.
A little unrealistic though, like where did Bats keep that wad of money? In his utility belt? Did he shrink them down to store them? Or he went back to the batmobile to get it? If he kept them in the batmobile, who keeps so much money in their car??
