Even if he wrapped up this matter properly, he would be thrown away like a filthy rag afterward.

They didn't have any impact on Batman, and appeared incompetent.
But there probably wasn't anyone who could affect Batman at this stage.
On the contrary, if he and Tony really were able to make Batman change his mind, the best way to deal with Batman in the future would be through them.
This was what the bigshots were best at.
The easiest way to control someone was to control what they cared about, like family, career, money, or friends.
