Headscratchers / The Batman

• What happened to Chief Rojas after Gordon made his debut? Was he fired?
  • In S3, Joker talks about a plan to prank "the Chief" while using a Rojas-looking doll as an example, so probably not.
  • The doll might have been a leftover from when Rojas was still in charge, so he might still have been fired. This Commissioner Gordon doesn't seem to suffer fools any more than any other version of him. He likely laid down the law to Rojas about the GCPD's new pro-Batman policy and either fired Rojas when the latter protested, or Rojas simply quit when even he realized his days as chief were numbered.
• How the heck did Rumor capture Spellbinder? He is not easy to defeat.
• At the end of "Rumor," Batman sees Catwoman's face without her mask, but doesn't react. Does he not recognize her as Selina Kyle? Also, why does he let her go when all of the other supervillains are being arrested?
• Do the animators of this show understand how ventriloquist dummies actually work? Scarface is constantly moving his/its own arms independently, which you couldn't do with an actual dummy without visibly using your own arms.
  • Who are you calling a dummy, dummy?
  • For the record, this is consistent with Scarface's portrayal as Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane in the comics.
  • For that matter, how did Wesker incorporate his split personality into a giant robot during Scarface's debut? Assuming he's smart enough to create an AI with the exact same personality, why doesn't the robot version of Scarface talk when Wesker's not in his arms?
  • The answer to both questions could simply be "comic book science." Scarface might have some mechanical controls in his body that allow Wesker to control him just with one hand. Same thing with the robot-Wesker might have some kind of remote control that allows him to "speak" through the robot as well as control it. Probably impossible in real life, but superhero comics have been getting away with worse for decades.
• In "Gotham's Ultimate Criminal Mastermind", D.A.V.E. deduces that Bruce Wayne is the only person with the physique, wealth, and motivation to be Batman. But why assume it's one person who has all those things? It actually is, but wouldn't it seem possible, and even more likely, that some millionaire recruited a guy with appropriate skills and equipped him to be Batman?
• Why in the hell are Gotham's emergency pumps, which are meant to channel excess water into Gotham Bay in the event of a flood, designed to also work in reverse? Whose idea was it to include a function that would flood the city if it were activated?
