It actually makes more sense that there isn't Batman to be found.

Bats in this Universe is still fairly young and inexperienced and he hasn't done anything for the police (most of which is corrupt) to believe in him or have criminals really be scared of him. Hell Batman got thoroughly outsmarted by the Riddler and while he 'saved' the day the city is so much worse off for it.

In terms of Batman not being mentioned yet, first scene the news talks about him getting down to stop the Riddler. It's been what 2 weeks since then and from everything we've been told, it's absolute chaos. It's Gotham, it's supposed to be big as fukk, the Falcone/Maroni beef isn't the only thing going on right now.

Its not a spoiler because I have no idea what the movie is about Reeves refused to answer the question when pressed on this subject.

Moreover, I've never read the comic book.

Yeah.

shyt is going to lead to his death. Minor details is going to lead to a big fukk up or Penguin finally saying fukk it and killing him.
In Penguin defense in episode 2 he asked him if he can do this....and Vic said yea or something to that effect. He had his way out at that point.

Or maybe he assumed it was a trick question and the Penguin would kill him to tie up lose ends rather than let him walk. Which is probably the truth:mjlol:
Yea..but having Vic alive is just as bad in general. Penguin has plot shield...Vic doesn't.

He is gonna get killed and that's a fact.

Penguin only allowing this dude to work with him, cause they from the same hood and Vic is homeless, plus...that's how he got his start being a sidekick to a monster and driver.

Penguin has to let the kid walk off in the sunset and the Hangman will kill him. That's how this shyt geaux, cause Sofia is acting like Batman with her detective skills.

So you DIDN'T watch THE BATMAN?

Batman was literally at MULTIPLE crime scenes and working side by side with the cops. So much so that he was allowed in the GCPD building to talk strategy with the chief of police and play the blame game. He had a building of cops try to catch him as he fed the place when things broke down.

He also saved the mayor in the finale and was seen, ON LIVE NEWS FEEDS, pulling a Moses with a herd of Gothamites!
