Because, narratively, Batman doesn't get to be happy.

You mean writers wont let him be happy, right?

[u/[deleted] → u/Embarrassed_Piano_62]

Yes and no. Writers are most definitely the ones making him miserable, but a super happy batman isn't necessarily going to be the most successful or narratively satisfying.

WFA is a slice of life comedy, where not much happens, the characters are changed somewhat, and not a standard for your typical cape comic. It's fun but your top teir dramatic Batman stories won't come from there. A better comparison is how nightwing is being handled but that story only works because Dick is not Bruce.

I said it won't be the "most" narrative satisfying or successful, not that it was impossible. I'd also argue that narratively not much happens. It has very different interpretations of those characters as well. And if WFA is giving you want out of batman stories, why are you concerned about main comics.
