Every Batman hot take on this cursed app is "How come Bruce Wayne never [a thing he definitely does a lot of times just not in the Nolanverse]?" Or a criticism of Batman you think is Very Smart and Originalhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="™️" title="Registered-Trade-Mark-Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Registered-Trade-Mark-Symbol"> but is in fact the point of a decades long subplot.

Crime in Gotham is so corrupted because the Only Nice Millionaires died & all the other millionaires sucked & made poor people & children pawns in weapons/drugs/etc & Bruce realizes it when he& #39;s like 20-25 & his trauma is used against him to limit his power at Wayne Enterprises.

In like... Every version of the story. Gordon is desperate enough to work with a vigilante dressed as a literal bat because Gotham PD is like 99% dirty & judges are in pockets etc. The point is that it& #39;s bad & unsustainable & is just treading water.

Batman& #39;s relationship to Catwoman, Ivy, Harley, when not sexualized, demonstrate that actually he very much understands levels to crime in oppression. & the children he keeps accidentally adopting all challenge his view & ask him to do more & change more.

Jason Todd is my favorite because he challenges Bruce on every fundamental level & is technically less heroic or whatever but has clearer morality & more concrete willingness to change Gotham, his reputation be damned, & he doesn& #39;t have some mythic legacy haunting him.

Jason Todd& #39;s death is in the background of BvS, of Suicide Squad, of BoP, & THAT& #39;S why it& #39;s dark & chaotic. Because Joker beat a child to death, and Harley & Bruce & all of Gotham just... Know that.

Like the reality of Gotham& #39;s corruption is that the events of Birds of Prey are not even on Bruce& #39;s agenda. IMAGINE.
