This is my headcanons Ledger Joker die shortly before Dark Knight Rises he died of natural causes in prison thats why they dont mention him anymore and why Bruce no longer considers him a threat at the end of the trilogy
Leto DCEU Joker is Dick Grayson
If Phoenix Joker dies in Folie a Deux that means the Bruce Wayne of the Joker World will never become Batman because having a Batman that would never meet Joker its ridiculous
Speaking about Phoenix Joker Arthur Gary and Randall worked with the Graysons at Circus events
The Batman from the Titans Universe is a Villain
The Alfred TV Show Pennyworth takes place in the Gotham Universe

Batman should work like The Phantom. Bruce was the first, till he died. Dick was the second, till he retired, Tim was the third etc, etc. This would be way more interesting to me.
You could have this grand mythology where the general public thinks the Batman is an immortal figure comparable to Superman and Wonder Woman. However, not because he's Bruce the freakin' Batgod but because the Batman, in this context, is this ongoing legacy character.
I liked it when Bruce "died" and Dick took on the role. I sincerely hoped that would be the new status quo for a good while until Dick hung up the cape and cowl and Tim got a shot. But, this was not to be the case and I think it's a shame.

I thought I was the only one who was not particularly fond of legacies.
I deeply dislike it. Firstly, I get attached to characters, not mantles. So they are all dying very early (or retiring and not being main characters I can read about, at least). Secondly, it just greatly diminishes the inheritors to me - they can never do anything as great as stepping into a costume some else left behind. They can never make their own names as great as the first gen. They either remain sidekicks until death/retirement or just abandon the identities they built on their own because those just aren't as important as the ones the first gen created.Batman should work like The Phantom. Bruce was the first, till he died. Dick was the second, till he retired, Tim was the third etc, etc. This would be way more interesting to me.

I think you loose a lot when your story goes from "parents died, swore vengeance, inspired by bat," to parents died, swore vengeance, inspired by this other guy who's parents died and swore vengeance,."
