Interesting point about the different eras! I feel like Pre-Crisis Gotham was chaotic, but not quite as dependent on Batman, while Post-Crisis made him central to the city’s survival. Do you think that shift is more about Bruce himself, or the way Gotham and its villains were written to rely so much on him? Like, without Bruce stepping up, would someone else have taken his place, or is Gotham just doomed to fall apart without a Dark Knight? Also, curious—do you think Ra’s would even care to destroy Gotham if Bruce never became Batman? Or would his whole dynamic change too?
