The way the Wayne history was rewritten/reimagined was disrespectful to the lore. This would have worked better as a fanfiction what if transformed into its own universe.

It passed the whole "dang, why did I like bats so much" nostalgia, and went right into the "wait! so what am I supposed to believe now? have I always been fooled, or what is happening" confusion that the muddled backstory revelation ripped outta me ...
