His relationship with his allies also falls under this label, namely, the fact that in the Arkhamverse, Batman took on Tim Drake as the third Robin less than six months after the Joker kidnapped Jason Todd, and before Jason's death was confirmed. The game also casts serious doubts on how actually effective he is, with Batman coming across as a Failure Hero and a Destructive Savior.

Indeed, Bane is revealed to have given up on Gotham and begun liberating his home country, and Mr. Additionally, if the player chooses to not save Ra's in the Shadow War side-mission, Nyssa declares that the League of Assassins will be reformed and never trouble Gotham again, unlike how choosing to save him will ensure the League will return at some point. Additionally, stopping Protocol 10 led to a class action lawsuit where the surviving inmates won, suing Gotham for damages, whereas letting Strange win would've saved the city money and prevented the events of the final game, meaning Ace Chemicals would still be up and providing jobs. Origins shows Batman saving the Joker's life once, which ultimately led to a massive tally of death and suffering including Barbara's crippling, Scarecrow's maiming, the eventual deaths of the Jokerized patients and Harley and Jason's fall from grace letting the clown drop back then would've prevented nearly the entire series. Another argument the series makes is that sacrifices made for the greater good are to be welcomed, as saving the worst of society, or even just maintaining a status quo, will only backfire.
