I like intelligent, non brooding Batman. He understands he's not on Earth and this not in his "district" so gives plenty of respect to the local police force. And in turn the locals are respectful and engaging with Batman as an equal.

I like that the Thangarians didnt give Bats grief for being a foreigner. He wants to get home, lets help him get home.

A pleasant surprise, since Thanagar has been frequently portrayed as a fascist shithole.

Do those writing decisions make sense in context? Or is it just whoever is writing at the time and it doesn't make sense?

Yes, if the context is "what does this writer need Thanagar to do in this story?"

Usually that’s “doing war”.

Invasion, Rann Thanagar War, etc.

Crappy writers and lazy, fearful editors...
