(name) wayne, gagged and tied to a chair:
the villain, untying their gag: hahaha! i have kidnapped you for ransom and your father only has 5 hours left to save you by paying me!!!
(name) wayne: damn bruh my father hasn't spoken to me in 13 and a half years i don't think he's coming for me at all, better if you shoot me instead lmao cause i don't think batman would save me either
villain: ...
yan! villain, untying your ropes: welp, kidnapping is basically illegal adoption, am i right?
(name) wayne: as long as i'm fed three times a day and you read me bed time stories before i sleep then i guess that counts?

Honestly I wanna see more time dedicated to highlighting how scarily intelligent some of the rogues are.
Black Mask and Penguin sniped most of Gotham out from under crime families that had been in power for decades, that isn't all ruthlessness and intimidation, that takes some serious skill in strategy to catch established mob bosses off-guard like that.
Harley Quinn and Scarecrow are some of Batman's most dangerous rogues built purely on how well they can read people and use it to their advantage. They're both extremely emotionally intelligent and Scarecrow's got quite a bit of biological and chemical knowledge on top of that.
Two-Face was a District Attorney, that means he's not just a damn good lawyer, he's a damn good politician, occupations that usually require both a lot of practical and emotional intelligence. It takes a fair amount of intelligence to win over a skeptical crowd--or a jury, for that matter.
We seriously sleep on how smart Joker is, comic writers included. It's not just him creating his own toxin from scratch; it's being able to manipulate a trained psychiatrist who is also fiercely intelligent, two of them depending on the comic.
Poison Ivy learned about and adapted to her own physical condition within days of discovering it. More than that, she used it to her advantage and used it to bolster her already expansive knowledge of botany and biology.
Riddler? Mechanical and computer engineering skill aside, ask any DM or game designer how hard it is to create a genuinely challenging puzzle or riddle. It's really hard; it doesn't just take intelligence it takes patience.

i love akechi because he tries to act nonchalant and calm and collected for the general public and basically everyone he meets but as soon as it comes to ren he is a completely different person, it’s like a switch got flipped in his brain. he’s so needy and possessive and jealous when it comes to ren because he’s never had anyone take an interest in him and understand him quite like ren so he almost goes to any length to keep that. he’s never been loved or loved anyone properly and it’s like he doesn’t know how to except constantly challenging him and making him his rival to get that validation. it’s like ren is giving him the validation he wanted from his own father and never got. and it never bothers ren because he understands him and they’re soulmates, even if they are also rivals.
