DC allowing for the complete character assassination of a competent non-superhero, because he’s a police commissioner? I feel like I should be surprised

In the comic, it seems Joker has caused massive devastation to Gotham and people having homes condemned and lot dead and other shit. Not sure all the context. In this issue alone, she hates her father, the longtime good cop and friend of Batman, Jim Gordan, for caring about how his fellow police are dying in streets and attacked and lamenting how he could use more police on the streets in this horrific time. He's clearly upset and devestated over someones death or something like that (i dont read it, just from video panels, something wrong) and she ignores him and treats it like all cops are bastards nonsense and how hes a fascists for wanting police. She storms out on him mid meal while having inner monologue ignoring all his words except the "hate filled ones" and how much she barely knows her father and loved ones that speak like this. It's basically the liberal upset over thanksgiving dinner with republican family type trope from twitter.

More context - Batman has lost his fortune somehow and is a mere millionaire instead of billionaire that is still trying to fund bat family super gadgets, etc while fighting crime and trying to clear up Joker army or whatever. Batgirl screaming at him and demanding why he isnt donating more money and wants a detailed list of who he donates to. He calmly lists a few and she cuts him off screaming about how they are "typical donation targets" as if hes a bad person for only donating to them or something. She demands he donates his limited resources of a mere $20,000 to her work place for some reason and he calmly does so for her. She continues to demand he do more and he explains how hes going to get gotham streets safe with joker clean up first and then focus on bruce wayne helping rebuild stuff after. She storms off in a huff about how hes a typical rich bastard and doesnt do anything for gotham.

It goes on and on. It's pretty fucking insane. There's even a backup story where she leads a bunch of female heroes on a child trafficking job. They were interrupted from girls gaming D&D night and forces them to role play during this child trafficking case where 8 year old kids were going to be sold off as sex slaves. One "hero" is doing song and dance during this. They wrap up and go back to congratulate each other on job well done and continue playing their board games. Its completely tone deaf and treats such a serious thing as completely beneath their girl power and an interruption to their off time or some shit.

The video goes over a lot of whats in the issue and I'm barely touching on how absolutely ridiculously this comic is.

If the story made any sense, the Joker would be orchestrating Gotham's version of Antifa.

I hate to be "that guy" but in all honesty Joker isn't quite the anarchist i'd peg for the role. I'd probably go with... Anarky https://batman.fandom.com/wiki/Anarky

TDKR was really all too prophetic about real life
