Many writers have tried to give their take on the "Bruce Wayne's rich friend of years is murdered and Batman has to find the culprit" trope, and none of them acknowledge the fact that this has happened many times before, especially since these stories are usually just short arcs of 1 to 3 issues thrown in somewhere between hundreds of tec and Batman issues
Which means that nobody takes very seriously the depressing fact that this man must have already lost about 10 friends of his civil life and had to investigate the murder of all of them
Like "oh thats the Wayne guy who lost his parents as a child? What a tragedy, good thing that he managed to overcome it and is now a popular socialite with many friends, too bad they all continue to getting killed"
