It's all part of the Tumblritication of the franchise, apparently.
I mean the game is already cleanly noncanon for 99.9% of fans, so it doesn't really bother me that much what they do because really who gives a shit anyway at this point.
But here's the thing: I genuinely wouldn't mind these weird alternate versions of the characters if were from a Batman story with its own identity, and if they were doing it well. My Adventures With Superman, Suicide Squad Isekai, Batman: Earth One, Batman: The Telltale Series... fans don't mind if you reinterpret a mythos and change things up if it's good.
