I think some people forget Gotham isn't the only one with absolute Psycopathic villains and crumbling economy. Let's take Central City, for instance.
Central City AND it's sister Keystone City is built on a faction of unionised workers, run off of Company plants, and people in the cities fear robots taking over their jobs enough to protest about it. Often the skies were depicted as smoke-filled and smoggy, except on Sunday's when the factories were down for a day. Not only that but most every coorperation is corrupt and everyone that's rich has made it by evil means. Take Rathaway Industries, or even STAR Labs as examples. Rathaway Industries is old money, but old enough that they got away with poor work conditions, cutting back minimum wage, racism, mysoginy, and homophobia. If what happened to their own son and Heir, Hartley Rathaway, isn't enough to prove that, I don't know what is. STAR Labs is new money and when has technological advancement ever really been clean, let's be honest.
Iron Heights was also one of the most corrupt facilities on City borders, accused of torturing, starving, and beating inmates. "The Pipeline" was created for the more villainous residents, even those who didn't deserve the treatment such as the rogues, and lesser known meta criminals. It was the basement of Iron Heights, full of dripping pipes of chemical water and bad air supply. These inmates were never taken out of their cells and usually weren't given enough clean drinking water, food, or sustainable living, leavig them to rot where they couldn't be seen. No wonder the Rogues were constantly breaking out, now that just makes the Flashes look like the bad guys. (They really are douche bags, them Flashers).
On to scary ass villains, you want to talk about the Joker of Central? I give you Dr Amar, AKA Murmur. He was Barry Allen's first testimony in court and first serial killer case. Amar would cut the tongues of his victims out of them while they were still alive and then silence them for good over his cray obsession for silence. He was trialed for 12 out of 50 murders he was suspected of and sent to Iron Heights for life. While in the prison, his mouth was sewn shut and tongue cut out as to not incriminate himself any further. Durring Wally West's prime as The Flash, he created a virus that spread through the water in the pipeline and infected everyone in Iron Heights with a deadly disease that choked it's victims to death by swelling thier tongues. The only cure was his abnoral blood, and Amar could not be infected.
Tim: I'm at that age where I have only one thing on my mind.
Bart: Your massive crush on Kon?
Cassie: Student Debt?
Tim: holding a birdarang Homicide.
Tim: I'm about to stab someone.
Bart: Please don't.
Cassie: slowly takes the weapon
You remember how Bart was like,, super famous in High School? He was the most popular guy around without even trying and not wanting anyone's attention, but Impulse was the least popular hero? Well when he died by the hands of Inertia, his name became public record. I would pay top dollar to see the reactions of everyone that went to High School with him. there was a line in the comics like "Oh, It's just Impulse. Thought it was Allen for a second. Now that would've been cool." People thought Imp was so lame, there was no possible way he could be "Daredevil Allen". Real nickname. I just, wanna see, what they say,,
HAWAIIAN SHIRT BUDDIES!
Bart: I'm the best observer you know!
Tim: Last week you thought that a sponge in the tower was an owl.
Bart: If you'd stop buyin' ‘em in bird colors, that would stop happening.
as a procrastinating overachiever i feel like i don’t necessarily “half-ass” things, it’s more like a “3/4 ass”. like overall did i do pretty well? yeah. did i reach my maximum potential though? i think the fuck Not.
Bart: *holding a piece of pizza but staring at Tim*
Tim: what?
Bart: just debating if i wanna eat this or kiss you rn.

Kon: morning Bart.
Bart, without skipping a beat: you look great today. New hair gel?

Jason: why are you so close-
Bart: nothin’. You just have really pretty eyes.
You cant tell me he wouldn’t.
Dick: Last night was a mistake and we must agree to never speak of it ever again.
Tim: Okay.
Jason: What happened last night?
Dick: No.
Tim: ...
Dick: Tim... Don't.
Tim: But...
Dick: Tim...
Tim: ...I saw Dick at the men's club.
Jason: Okay?
Tim: He was on the pole.
Jason: oh.
Dick: If you wake up glued to the ceiling, no one will help you.
Jason: I would help.
Dick: You'd join him.
Damian: I would laugh.
Dick: I know you would, Damian.
Thad: Ever hear of Guy Fieri?
Bart: No? I don't think so.
Thad: How unfortunate for you.
Thad: He was an especially degenerate piece of filth.
Thad: He used his connections and guile to wriggle his way into fame, and other positions of power.
Thad: He somehow landed on the U.S. supreme court. Over the years, other Justices started mysteriously disappearing without means to replace them.
Thad: After helping rewrite the constitution to form an incomprehensible patchwork of fascism, theocratic mandates, recipes, and bad rap lyrics, he weaseled his way up the ranks to become the High Captain of Interstellar War.
Thad: I'm going to cut to the chase, cause really this doesn't need to be a full History lesson. Especially with your attention span.
Thad: He eventually came to be regarded as the third and final antichrist.
Thad: No human in history was responsible for as much pain and suffering.
Bart: Is that why REACH attacked our planet? Guy Fieri, High Captain of Interstellar War?
Thad: Yes.
Bart: ;-;
