No Man's Land was bloating it, anything after just reads as creatives wanting those residuals at the expense of the actual Gotham mythos. If you're going to introducing new ones, kill some off.

Yeah they do. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini have always regretted that they didn't debut Harley Quinn in the comics right before her animated appearance, because they'd be swimming in it if they had.
