Because the multiverse exists, there are universes where Tim Drake becomes Joker Junior that no one saves and Red hood still returns. And in many of these universes they definitely combine their reign of terror in a terrible joker and Harley parallel, in other universes they take over their fathers rolls and the song and dance continues. In some time lines Joker and hood reck the world, but in the best/worst time lines they become the anti heros Gotham needs. The protectors of park row. They are not bats or birds and they were never ment to, those that need to die will die, but those who needed them most will always be saved. Crines that cant be stopped are controlled, leathel drugs are replaced with the safest versions and harm reduction becomes the focus. Arkam and police reforms come later. Top down and bottom up a multi front war to shape gotham. Media and thr court of public opinion are a scalple used with expert care. Some of the bats help, but the bat himself will never get on board. He fights them every step of the way, and the more they succeed the more the city turns on him. Those are thier knights, their saviors born from broken children. Those who fight because no one could or was willing to save them, and now they protect the future through any means necessary. Get on board or get out of the way.
