This reminds me of the comic where Batman was a loser who couldn't actually fight crime so Alfred and a bunch of his old friends from his theater days pretended to be supervillains for Bruce and let him win
truly the greatest detective, if he got it wrong or right the victim may be shot but he managed to give brain damage to the riddler without the use of physical violence, inspiring
I love the head cannon that batman used to be me smart, but because of years of fighting super human criminals he has suffered so much brain damage that he just exists in a state of confusion. But since he is such a bad ass and used to be a bad ass…everyone just kinda rolls with it. It isn’t like he kills anyone.
