    "Whenever Batman's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Batman"?

    Batman hasn't been a threat to the mob at this point in his career, so they wouldn't be worried about him.
    Both times Batman went after Penguin in the film, he just questioned him and then left. He didn't try to stop him running the drops business, which Penguin was in charge of.

    Batman was mentioned in the opening of the first episode. He was helping first responders with the mass flooding and missing civilians caused by Riddler’s bombing. And on the news broadcast, they mention that crime and chaos have skyrocketed across the city. So I see it as Batman has his hands tied with much bigger crisis problems. He says in the beginning of the movie that Gotham is a big city and he can’t be everywhere, so the gang war involving Penguin probably hasn’t gotten on Bruce’s radar yet. But I am hoping that changes by the time the finale rolls around. Because this show is too consequential to be swept under the rug by the sequel when it comes out.

      My head canon is something from the Batman:Earth One graphic novel in which criminals believe if you say his name he appears from the shadows like a horror movie villian. But realistically it’s just so the show can be seperate from the movie in telling a Penguin story and not a Batman story.

    For story purposes they HAVE to include him eventually. He'll seem really incompetent if he just allows so many criminals to run rampant in Gotham. Batman is evolving as a character in this universe but he'd have to get back on patrol

      The news mentioned that crime has gone up 40% since the flood. I imagine that he's very busy both as Batman and Bruce Wayne trying to help the city

    Especially because Oz literally had a run in with Batman in the movie. You would think Batman would be on Oz’s radar

    It’s not odd because it’s just a mafia war. Civilians are really not getting killed. I would think Batman would stay out of the war

    I agree, it’s my only critique with the show, if you can even call it that. More of a nitpick but yes if they could say “Batman” once or at least show a bat signal in the skyline or something that would add extra oomph

    There's a conspiracy that Warner Bros has disputed rights to Batman in television because the Adam West Batman show aired on ABC and the rights never got evened out, so Batman on television was never a reliable avenue.

      Batman appeared in Titans a few years ago. That was HBO Max, so if they were able to use him in that it wouldn't be an issue for Penguin.

    I feel that you’re just too focused on Batman in your analysis
    Yes it’s the Batman universe but you don’t need to have read a lot of comics to know that Batman’s world is extremely complex and rich! Eventually the Batman does let criminals kill each other as long as it doesn’t result into Gotham going nuts
    What’s happening so far in the show clearly hints towards a consolidation of the evil into one block, so if you’re Batman, you might as well wait and hit the tired winner of this fight
