In real life, if someone got a black hoodie and a mask and decided to “fight crime”, how successful would they be?

    But he literally does. The problem is that Gotham is literally fucking cursed in a way that makes people aggressive and evil. And like, I don’t think that kinda stuff would stop the Joker from bombing orphanages, or Black Mask/Penguin from running protection rackets, or stop Killer Croc from literally eating people, or stop Nigma from putting people in actual Saw traps…

    Like, a good portion of Batman’s rogue gallery are people that the police CANNOT deal with. Hell, I would argue that even an entire counter-terrorism unit couldn’t deal with the bullshit the Batman rogues pull in a weekly basis.

    EDIT: Oh yeah, let’s not forget half of the police in Gotham (if not ALL OF IT) is corrupt and is getting bought by those SAME rogues.
