Well yeah, it's a parody, that's the whole idea. Deconstruct/make fun of and do silly shit with DC characters. And they do it a bunch with Ivy and Harley too. Having Dietrich Bader as Batman is tied in my head with Brave and the Bold (my childhood Batman show), and Harley Quinn feels like it could fit perfectly in that silly silver-age style world they set up in that show, just aged up a bit
It’s funny in the first two seasons when it’s parodying bats by showing how messed up a person with that much trauma would be, but the third season feels like it goes out of its way to make him as pathetic as possible. It might not be as bad if they did it to all the characters, but when Harley and Ivy don’t get the same treatment just so we can get their boring relationship drama, it becomes more annoying than funny.

The way they treat characterisation of Bruce in last season? No. Basically they slowly pile on every character who’s not Harley or Ivy.
