Actually his villains more or less get tired of the constant ass kickings that's why some wind up working for him in some way, riddler was batmans sidekick for awhile, penguin and batman actually help each other out in exchange for informantion and such. Catwoman, Harley and Ivey have this love hate relationship with batman
true, but i'm talking about this series, not the comics....in the series so far, he keeps repeating the same thing and it's only getting worse...first it was a small size in gothem, it grew to arkham asylum, then to arkham city...it appears it's the whole city in this one....and since this the last game in the series (at least by rocksteady), why not have the knight dead all that shyt?...literally....have the built up emotions/thoughts/frustration/guilt of bruce explode and manifest into a split personailty called the 'arkham knight'....the one that's willing to do whatever it takes to protect the city, including breaking batman's #1 rule...let's not forget: the joker supposedly died in the last one...so, that can help play a part in the creation of the knight...bruce realizing even though it's fukked up to kill, the city is better off that the joker is dead....
