Even if you stretch that to 20 years worth of career (meaning Bruce started at Batman at the unlikely age of 20) that would require an Arkham asylum every week, a major riot monthly, major disasters on a yearly basis, grisly murders nightly and non-stop kidnappings, serial killer sprees, robberies, rapes and monsters throughout Gotham City and Bruce working 24/7.

No one in their right mind would live in Gotham! It would be like Detroit from Robocop but with bodies in the streets.

Really, everyone in Marvel and Dc would be suffering from extreme PTSD, but in DC it would be far far worse. Consider that Gotham's sister city, Bludhaven was utterly destroyed in a chemical attack- total populace wiped out.
Gotham had a major earthquake, followed by a plague. The Earth of DC has suffered four major worldwide alien invasions, Nuclear terrorist attacks, Amazons attacking the United States, two massive temporal/ reality warping events and a worldwide uprising of zombies.
oh, and Lex Luthor was the United States president for a year. I shit you not. Lex freaking Luthor got elected President.
At that point, I'd let the zombies have the planet and bug out to the JLA satelite or Oa or wherever.

Yeah, sometimes a reboot is the only way to get past their past!

And *then* you get to characters who are *really* fucked up, like Powergirl.
