The audiences reaction to the lack of Batman is perfect

Something I’ve noticed about this show that i haven’t seen anyone talk about is how the show almost has us in the shoes of Gotham. After every episode and every event everyone is asking what exactly is happening surrounding Batmans location, i think this mystery is perfect as it makes everyone feel more involved and connected to every event and when he does eventually show up or get mentioned people will be far more invested than if he was already seen consistently. It also perfectly plays into the character of batman as he is always seen as in the shadows present and studying whomever he encounters.
