If I lived in Gotham, I would not feel safe. But not because of Joker and Riddler and Two-Face. No, I would be scared of the man in all black who bashes in kneecaps and breaks faces and who's had at least one of his sidekicks die! Batman is a menace! A rich man masquerading as an underdog, all just so he can work out his grief by punching those who may or may not deserve it! He's terrifying!
If modern Batman media needs a J. Jonah Jameson figure, i think i'm up to the task. All I need to do to make it clear is to compare modern Superman to Batman. Superman is a kind voice in an uncaring world. We regularly see that metropolis loves their hero. He's a good man, and they know he's almost always just doing his best. He's open and honest, which builds a beautiful relationship of and trust. But if you look at Gotham, most modern Batman interpretations go all in on him being a violent vigilante distrusted by law enforcement. Superman is a bright figure of hope. Batman is a dark spectre of violence. I'd be scared in Gotham, always worried that Batman is going to turn on me if I do one thing out of turn. He's untrustworthy and scary. He's practically a super villain himself. I hate modern batman. And i won't stop saying it.
