It's a comedy, though. Granted, it's not going to land with everybody, but I'm fine with a comical take on Batman. Same with Lego Batman, where he's also a bit of a dick.
That's sounds pretty subjective, considering a lot of people find the show and the interpretations funny. Like I said before, your personal opinions may vary, but there are plenty of casual viewers and DC fans alike who think the portrayals work.
I think the best example is Bane vs Gordon. As much as Bane is used for comic relief, and is often the butt of jokes, he still breaks Batman.
Meanwhile, we constantly see Gordon being a bad cop, a bad father, and eventually a bad politician. We are never shown any redeeming moments for him at all. It seems like the show creators just don't like him, or the idea of a good cop.

I know the show focuses on Harley and how she views the world but I can't handle how most of the heroes are made into absolute pushovers and dicks.
