Batman has been fighting evil for over eighty years, facing off against the worst threats in Gotham City, all while protecting the world alongside the Justice League. Batman stories have evolved a lot since his late-30s debut, and a big part of that is becoming more grounded, thanks to the work of Denny O’Neil, Neal Adams, Steve Englehart, Marshal Rogers, Frank Miller, and Alan Moore. While there is still suspension of disbelief involved in Batman stories, it’s much less than in stories starring characters like Superman and the Flash.However, that doesn’t mean that Batman comics don’t have a lot of outlandish plots. Over the years, Batman fans have gotten storylines that have stretched the meaning of the word “grounded.” There are lots of really big problems that Batman comics never address, ones that have often had fans scratching their heads.Here’s the problem with that – no one would allow a supervillain to take control of a city. The federal government almost certainly would have called Amanda Waller and she would have had the Suicide Squad there constantly. Bane taking over Gotham is a cool story beat and shows just how dangerous he is, but it’s also complete nonsense. There’s no way that nobody would have tried to liberate the city, be it the government or even superheroes who didn’t listen to Batman.
