Costume design actually used to be more cool. Now everyone looks like an iphone.

That's why every heavyweight character from the fictional and mythic canon is getting 'rebooted' at the moment. Many things changing fast in culture, many people having studied the humanities.

Wait until artists start using these characters - then it will really start getting interesting.

I get the overall vibes but

  1. Poison ivy literally kills little children for littering
  2. Bruce does spend a fuckton of his money on Gotham. It has like 0.01% of the effect it would have in the real world because a warlock is interred on Gotham's soil.

The basic premise of the Gotham universe is that everything is fucked. It's grimdark, it's DC's 40K. Actually it would make near perfect sense if those two were one universe.

OTOH the Harley Quinn series (the one with Harlivy) does take jabs at Bruce's sheltered status, "People pay rent?". Lots of stuff going on in that series that don't fit standard canon, though, the series is as much a contemporary commentary on the universe as it's an in-universe show. Do watch that series btw even if you're not into comics, or the universe, or whatever, it's hilarious.
