Part 2

Punchline and Batman's relationship is kind of complicated, especially towards the end of Alexis' actual Punchline days

As he does with all of Rogues, he tries to get her help, but Bats recognizes that she only commits crimes because of the Joker - a person who uses her as a scapegoat, lackey, or meat shield at the very worse. That's why he tries a little harder to rehabilitate her, but there's only so much he can do when she's so loyal to her mother

Alexis, meanwhile, is annoyed by Bats, and of course hates him because he keeps trying to take down their gang and her mother (or, at least, makes herself feel that way to fit in). Bats trying to help her makes her feel how she felt when she was a kid, and everyone was trying to police her to make sure she didn't end up like the Joker. It's worse, because sometimes it feels like Bats is the only person who's genuinely concerned for her

In a lot of ways Punch is like an unruly child Bats is trying to wrangle. Gordon thinks the both of them are weird
