Aside wherever wokeness and the apex god tier plot armor modern day Batman has. The character is just inhuman now. He is written as always being "one step ahead", no one can even get a hit on him and he's gone completely sociopath. Older written Bruce Wayne was still a guy at the end of the day, trying to have relationships and a life. Older Wayne also would make mistakes, walk into traps, get captured, and even the Penguin could get a few strikes on him.
No he's just unstoppable and can defeat Superman is a even one on one. His Bat Computer needs to go too because all his detective work is done for him on a machine instead of investigating crime scenes himself.
Thank you for reading my stupid rant, hope you guys have a nice day and hopefully have something fun to do.
That's franchising for you but I get where you're coming from, corporate probably did that corporate thing of looking at the metrics and realising how many people frequently liked Batman so they decided let's shoehorn him into absolutely fucking everything even if it doesn't make sense. It's the same reason you see this obsession with Harley Quinn, except corporate promote her way more because she fits within DEI being a female character. It's the problem that occurs when you put money people and executives who tick off checklists and don't know how to tell a good story.
That, and the Arkham games popularized the hot-slutty version of Harley Quinn and they've been trying to capitalize off of that in one hand while decrying the sexualization of women in the other. There's a reason why they haven't gone back to the black and red onsie with the tasseled hat version of Harley from BTAS. They know hot-slutty Harely sells, but they also turn their noses up at it and hate it, so they try to offset it by making her a feminist cunt. Of course, most guys who would have bought something with hot-slutty Harley are turned off by her being a cunt, so sales don't perform as well as they wanted, so they try again. And again. And again.
I blame modern copyright law. The big companies wouldn't be able to churn out lazy slop and rely on name recognition for revenue if their big name characters all dropped into public domain after a few years.
Game dev is one thing but writers have been infested by woke, they're shit by design, we know this as a fact now thanks to the SBI expose.
True but then that's just a classic problem of not planning for a potential success.
