Indeed, and that could make for a lot of fun political intrigue with good writers. It'd be a fantastic juxtaposition from scenes fighting violent criminals on the street. Genuinely show how an evil person can be a guy in a suit with a smile and no direct ill intentions. Show how criminals don't have to be violent to be detestable.

I think a seriously done Batman, that seriously approached these topics from the perspective of Bruce intelligently fighting against these things, would be fantastic. Easily able to put The Boys to shame with good writers. If only Hollywood et. al. knew how to pay for good writers...

I think that it would just not be very interesting for a lot of people. Real legal fights are actually quite boring, and take an incredibly long time. Showing how the bad guys draw things out in thr courts and in the boardrooms, and making it interesting is def. a challenge.

No, don't write it based purely on reality. It's still the DC universe. Ramp that shit up to 11. A court case could be pretty interesting with people with actual crazy abilities in city wide gangs the justice system is trying to wrangle. I'm sure there is ample room to speed up court proceedings. Skipping boring bits is easy. Writing interesting events that fit in a broader universe is hard.
