Her Gotham remains "the most crime-ridden city in the world" despite 78 years of caped crusading. "We don't need an unsupervised adult man karate-chopping poor people in a Halloween costume," says Barbara Gordon (Rosario Dawson) when she takes over as Police Commissioner in 2017's The LEGO Batman Movie.
