      There’s also Dr. Gotham, who was a evil sorcerer buried under Gotham for centuries whos evil also apparently poisoned a fair bit of the area.

      There’s also anywhere between 1 to 3 (Possibly more) Lazarus pits under Gotham, and arguably the chemicals from them have been leeching into the water supply. What do the Lazarus pit chemicals do? Make you resilient to damage and also crazy. What do a significant amount of Bat villains have in common? Injuries/mutations that would kill a normal person, and being off kilter.

      Then we have the Asylum which is possibly haunted and has held a portal to Hell at least at one point.

      Lots of stuff going on in Gotham.

          Back in the 1800s the qualifications for saying you were a doctor were comically easy to acquire. I don’t think any academic dishonesty happened here. Just a product of the time
