In the hypothetical case that Batman "won" and Gotham was cleaned, it's 50/50 if he would give up the cowl. Chances are he would expand his territory to the entire world and beyond, as B&B Bats cartoon showed. I think he would retire only if he got too old, or his love interest got pregnant and no melodrama happened, which is impossible, and even then, he would be tempted to don the cowl at any moment.

It's been shown many times that Batman has become an obsession for Bruce. Like The Dark Knight Returns, in retirement he's suicidal, looking for a death worthy of him, until he comes back as Batman and is able to help Gotham again, deciding that this will be a good life. In the DCAU, he chased away all of his friends and family because Batman swallowed him whole.

One thing that bugs me about the Nolan trilogy was that in the first two movies, he understood this. Rachel leaves him because he won't give up being Batman, and then in her goodbye letter points out that he can't stop being Batman. Then we get to Rises and not only has he stopped so he can come back, at the end he gives up and goes to live happily ever after with Catwoman, another character who can't stop being who she is.

If Gotham ever did get clean, he'd probably go somewhere else and work on that city, like Bludhaven. He might even help Clark with Metropolis. It'd be an interesting story to do where he keeps trying to muscle in on other heroes' territory and it leads to conflict.
 
Reminded after an earlier post, that there was one independent publisher in the early 1990s that took
Limited Edition of [3 times the average distribution numbers of today's comics]!"

to an extreme. Triumphant Comics, who had a shared science fiction setting, had every comic numbered on the cover, revealing which one of the issue's print run it was. I came across a few of these, a few interesting ideas but they didn't last long and there are reasons why they understandably ended up in bargain bins.

I saw someone jokingly suggest a crossover featuring Paul encountering the closest to a DC counterpart of his, Diana Troy's loser husband Terry Long, or rather heroes from both companies would have to prevent them from meeting because it turns out they're both living embodiments of halves of the Anti-Life Equation.

Oh man I completely forgot about Terry Long. He was always such a weird character and felt so out of place in Teen Titans. I get he was meant to give the group a more human element but man it really didn’t work. The only memorable things he in is the one wedding issue and then the issue where he’s too stupid to finish writing a paper so he loses his job teaching. Does anybody know if he’s still around in the newer comics? Last I saw of him he had a freak out and broke up with Troia and then disappeared in like the late 90s.

He was a Black Lantern for a hot second when DC decided to trot out every single drop of trauma they had inflicted on characters and the readers and then have all the heroines get eaten while crying and having their titties hanging out like good comics used to.

Mark's mom already started dating a Paul after Omni Man left earth, I would say I know who gets cucked by the time everything's said and done but who knows with the changes the show's making.

Also fuck Marvel for killing Ultimate Spiderman, not even Paul's death will make up for this because I bet that fucker will be back within the year as a new villain or something.
 
I think North hated the comic relaunch bullshit.

And is just going to tank the comic given the artwork is so shit, and the previous artwork guy who was kind of good, is currently working on the Amazing Spiderman and Venom comics where Paul dies.

According to his Who's Who entry, Terry is a divorced ex-college professor who was unable to gain tenure due to severe writer's block. As of November of 1988, he was working in a bookstore with plans to write a book on mythology. Failed marriage, fired from his job for slacking off, and working retail with vague plans to become a writer. You may have known this guy. He may have hung out at your local comic shop, even. Every single comic I've read where he appeared, he ended up engaged in actions like awkwardly hitting on Starfire with a quiet "just puttin' it out there" sort of desperation, often while Donna Troy is in the room.

i fuckin love a lot about that teen titans run. i do. art and WHEN it works, it's one of my favorite comics in general. ptsd berserker amazon but loving starfire is best starfire. but terry isn't really a standout, he's almost like the norm when there's not high moments tbh. there's so much fuckin shit writing, editor's/overhead's fault or not, and character wise that's infuriating as FUCK in that run. like from the jump, starfire basically loves robin at first sight, but robin is just... i don't fucking know. his retarded editor bullshit of never loving anyone really so he can have a new hotness any time. then several issues later she dates someone else, THEN he's pissy, and starfire's current guy gets blown up or some shit, and after she has a guts tier breakdown they actually get together.

then there's terrys shit like you said, where him and donna are like a alt ver of starfire/robin, 2 people with different power levels and from different "worlds" but you know, in like every story involving that, they make it work through love and effort. but then in teen titans they over and over make terry not a kind of loser but with extreme love for donna and wanting to do better for her and being a "normal guy" insert, instead just a "awoooga wow i'm like a 40 year old, divorced and will fuck anything" and robin is flat out like the biggest fucking cuck multiple times. nigger, the fucking weddings, both of them, in that run are so fucking infuriating. the first one is PERFECTLY set up for robin to break in and grab starfire at the last second, there's like a 3 page readout of the preacher saying "this marriage will bind these 2 souls for eternity... we're serious, we have magical alien bullshit to straight up meld souls... if any nigga objects... i repeat if any nigga objects... i repeat..." while starfire is crying and begging internally and looking back, and that fucking NIGGER flies back to earth and drinks and cries while she marries the guy then has breakdowns and bangs him etc. it's like the one cuck-y plotline i've seen where it's just entirely on "why the FUCK are you being such a retard robin??"

countless moments in that run i could fuckin ted talk rant about, but it's not because the run is shit, it's that it could be GREAT art wise, and could have been SO much fucking better if several moments were tweaked. like the wedding, just have him fuckin bust in and grab her and "i object cause shes my girl" and have a kiss with a starry backdrop like that setpiece is consistently used for. they wouldn't even have to get married there instead or some shit. i mean damn. but yeah, ranting aside, paul is a implant into a shit run of a existing ip of a fucking trash fanfic character, and terry sucks largely because of the writers to be blunt, because he had no status quo to be a retard or act like it, he just had to be a alt steve trevor very seriously in love with her. crazy as fuck how shittily robin and starfire have been portrayed to this day, nightwing's just a writer vehicle and starfire is just the hottest, most in love with him woman in his life, crying and snorting his old costume or some shit, and he just goes "eh, meh, not feeeeeelin it", unless he does, just like the fucking beginning of teen titans, before he gets new vegas style shot in the head and dates (girl) in detroit or some shit on repeat
 
I know this thread is about comic books, but I've recently decided to acquire some old Trading Cards I lost when I was a kid. Started simple, got a full run of the Marvel Universe Series I cards by Impel,

James_Howlett_29_from_Marvel_Universe_Cards_Series_I_0001.webp

then I acquired series II,

Simon_Williams_29_from_Marvel_Universe_Cards_Series_II_0001.webp

then I got the Xmen cards drawn by Jim Lee along with a small book talking about them.

I then looked up other trading cards from different IPs, and found a full run of Wildstorm Gallery trading cards.

I got them a few days ago, and while the art is interesting, the back of the card is literally the artist blowing smoke up their own ass talking about why they drew or painted the image and what they were trying to get across. The cards are also larger than the standard trading cards/collectible cards of the era, so they're not going into a binder as easily.

Impels'/Skyboxs' Marvel Universe cards give you a bio, power levels, a tidbit or two of trivia. If nothing else, they're a decent reference point of the characters up to that point in the early 90s. I'm looking at a Wildcats series with a similar theme, and I found a DC set also from the 90s that appears to be completely Batmanless :\

That was a '90s thing, the long cards like the Vertigo and Superman 60th Anniversary sets. They have special pages for them that only fit six on a page.

That's because a different company (Topps or Skybox) had the Batman license, so DC's Cosmic Cards/Team sets were in fact Batman-less. The Nightwing cards mention his past as Robin as vaguely as possible.
