critics: Batman just hunts down and beats up his rogues and mentally ill people!
what Batman’s actually doing:
pushing past hour three of Riddler’s impromptu lecture on how tenses and verbal intonation affect the solution rate of his riddles
talking a random guy down from joining Penguin’s goon squad for better pay (“you’re not a killer, you just need friends” “…yeah”)
pulling electrodes out of Jim Gordon’s ass (again) because he’s the only one who won’t laugh
explaining compounding interest rates to Robin while doing 180 on the highway during rush hour
blacking out Harvey Dent’s window in Arkham because seeing the waxing/waning moon was giving him anxiety
jumping out at kids skipping curfew and scaring them
spending so much money on charity that Lucius Fox is impressed he can still successfully embezzle from WE at the same time
playing skeeball with Robin in an abandoned bowling alley (this will become a core memory)
