Then they’d just threaten Bruce whenever criminals just want money-it would never be enough and Bruce would be rewarding bad behavior which would just turn the rest of tge gothamites scummy.

      @@HACKER-ct6hd the threat could be: Do your actual job or have your past crimes exposed? For some people that's an easy choice, they will do their jobs to keep their current lives intact with minimal levels of corruption.
      This is Gotham City, the crime rate is probably more than 70% of the population, Gotham is a city of 10 million people according to the current 2022 lore. Everybody's got a skeleton in their closet. Everyone has secrets they don't want exposed. Batman could find those secrets and then use them against people to keep them in line. If not, money sweetens the mouths and greases the wheel. Bribery, plain and simple. 4 million to your campaign, an extra 2 million in your back pocket bank account in the Swiss Alps.
      All you have to do as a criminal working in a high position of power is: pass the laws that he wants, vote for laws he's in favor of... and you won't get your shit kicked in or your teeth punched out or your child pronography charge exposed to your co-workers and voters. Even with a fake identity and a change of name Batman can find you with just a bit of DNA.
      The thing is, I actually trust Batman not to act crazy with this because he still has to act within the boundaries of the Constitution as none of the laws he creates can violate it. Laws would still have to be checked by people not underneath his control.
      The average thug really doesn't matter. Unless the systemic issues at Gotham's core are fixed the city will continue to spiral into hell. Mainly the corruption that needs to be pulled out from its roots.

Noteshe is one of the villians batman will turn to, trust, and work with.
      Catwoman is ..weird. She has her heist thrill seeking, then she has her stealing from scumvags side l, then her avatar of bast sub plot. More of a antihero then a villain. Bat man even lets her rehome artifacts ocassionally.

      Doesn’t catwoman primarily steal gems so if she could buy them what exactly would be her reason to commit crimes. You are right about killer croc and poison ivy with financial income, but now that I think about couldn’t Batman start funding research to cure to killer croc condition. I mean isn’t that something similar to the lizard Spider-Man fights in one of the older Spider-Man movies, of course with that it was more of a mutation caused by a serum and the cure already existed before he even transformed if i remember correctly.

      ⁠@@Seeyou45The league of assassins figured the only way to cure Gotham was to completely burn it down, but seeing crime rate plummet so drastically they would basically go into remission, until crime starts rising to crazy levels again. The religion nutcase deacon blackfire who sacrifices people in the name of “the lord” just need to be in a fully padded room with no way to contact the outside world or talk with food every now and then, because he just is a normal person who preys on people religion usually Christian to gain control, power, and access to other things. So in other words he’s like a priest that uses his followers to commits crimes or in other words like a cult leader of a cult. You take away deacon blackfire brainwashed people, his ability to influence others and he is completely neutralized.

And Ivy can be easily placated by bruce buying her a massive forest preserve and telling her "make it your own garden of eden, your realm your rules." Shed never leave again.

    Catwoman is just a thief who wants the thrill of the adventures. Assume her as counter espionage agent to go in incognito against other factories.

    Scarface probably came the closest to being totally reformed when Bruce gave him a job as a mail clerk.
    But here's a scary thought, of all the unassimilated military age illegal immigrants currently cashing in $4,000 a month in e.b.t. programs who already cause issues by way of gang affiliation, differing cultural perspectives on morality and societal norms, or having been pipelined right out of prisons from other countries, how many do you think are one missed government paycheck away from becoming villains in their own right? Tax dollars for war, not assimilation under american philosophy, or even hurricane relief. Fun stuff to think about.
