I miss when Batman handled serious and relatable issues with tact and dignity.

tbh, I wish the comics would play around more with villains reforming, or trying to at least. I love how the Penguin tried to legitimately become good, and it toyed with the idea that the high society that Bruce is apart of ruins a lot more people and turns them villainous than anyone can claim "Batman" has.

BTAS in general I think had a tendency to give the villains relatable motivations which opened the pathway for potential reformations.  Penguin, Harley Quinn, Riddler, and Mr. Freeze all had good stories about their attempts at reformation.  And I think the comics would benefit if they took some cues for those episodes.  Outside of Mr. Freeze, Harley is the only one I think the comics have ever cared to show as "potentially good" and with the influence of things like Suicide Squad, even that's largely been mitigated to "reluctant alliance" rather than full on, earnest attempt at turning over a new leaf.

It's really a shame since it's a rather easy way to explore different sides of the characters.  but the comics never really go for it.

The comics did try it, once. Riddler managed to reform himself for a long while, actually becoming a friend and ally to Batman, and becoming a private detective. But DC being DC had to ruin it and reverted him back to normal.

It's always interesting to me how DC is always reluctant to make changes to the status quo that are interesting and well thought out (Riddler reforming) but then go full steam ahead on the absolute dumbest decisions that fall apart under only the slightest of scrutiny (Cassandra Cain turning evil).

Nightwing has to be the best one, despite being one of the most beloved characters in and out of universe, the editor of DC has been gunning for him for years.

In what ways do you mean?  I don't keep up with Nightwing as much as I should.

There's been a lot of attempts over the years to kill Nightwing off, basically because the editor of DC has a hate-boner for him for the longest time - this being despite the fact that in-universe, Nightwing is one of the most well-liked members of the hero community, and out of universe - he's obviously one of the most popular Bat-Family members.

Due to that, Nightwing has survived many attempts to kill him off from fan outrage alone. I'm not sure if that same editor still works for DC, but there's been a massive bone-headed situation involving Nightwing where a highly-regarded writer was replaced iirc, and Nightwing was shot through the head in Batman 54 or so. 

Nightwing survives the shot, but in his series, he becomes a dickhead named "Ric" who doesn't know anyone in the Bat Family, and does nothing but go on about how he's "not nightwing". No one likes it, and a lot of people just want to see the arc end already.

"This character that is extremely well loved, important to the lore and backstory of our universe, and generally brings us lots of revenue... yeah, fukken' kill him."

Whaddya watching?

Batman the Animated Series - I got the complete blu-ray for Christmas and I'm marathoning the series for the first time (it was never released fully on DVD over here until the blu-ray).

Cartoon Network > Nickelodeon in these days and times (Not to mention Dan Schneider ran the Nick show)

Disney’s show about video gamers gets..no one. Oh but they had Jake Paul in that one forgettable one
