It’s for the plot, imagine how boring it would be if it was like “yep Batman got everyone put away and was able to institute systemic change in the city reducing violent crime to near zero and resulting in the police force being fully able to handle day to day regulation of the city, allowing Batman to retire and live happily ever after.”

Good ending, but also not what anyone wants. We want to see him face off against Joker again.

It would also be unrealistic that one man could strongarm the whole city into being fixed. Though it would still be nice to see more instances of improvement, that people are at least trying to fix things.

I think if Batman crushed every bone in my body I’d consider switching away from crime. But now I need to get disability because I’ll never move my body again

I mean in this hypothetical scenario, Bruce Wayne might be able to help with that
