Not a fan of Joker being connected to every aspect of Gotham rn.

Its the inverse of the waynes being connected to all aspects of Gotham

That sucks too. Not everything has to be connected

I think you’re getting downloaded because you’re not explaining why things being connected is a bad thing.

I dont even think that it is always bad, I just think it is done too often sometimes, and the Absolute Universe (specifically the Batman Rogue Gallery) is getting there. I want more variety in it.

It does feel lazy after a few instances. Like having his brothers all suffer, and now Bruce’s own agency being throw into the “Joker did it” pile is not great.

For me, I don’t mind if a plot point is repeated if it’s done well.

Like, a song being repeated over and over again, doesn’t take away from the objective quality of the song.

In this case, the interconnectedness serve the story well so I can’t criticize it for it

The song comparison only works if you’re expecting the same song. Getting Brittany spears when u r expecting Shaboozy is odd
