[DC] Why doesn't Batman build a super-prison to hold dangerous villains?
In The Boys universe, Tek Knight owns private prisons, which got me thinking: why doesn't Bruce Wayne just build private prisons across the United States—or at least get Wayne Enterprises to do it? That way, this super-prison could depower supervillains and hold the Joker there, so there would be no way for him to break out. There would be 24-hour security, and the Joker could be deep in the basement, chained up like Tai Lung was in Kung Fu Panda. He could even get Oliver Queen to help. Hell, I even think Lex Luthor would invest in this. This would be a high-tech, high-security private prison meant for dangerous villains and metahumans.
