When they're not being saved, though, it's a different issue.
Yup. At the extremes you've got: any time a rich guy gets involved he's being condescending / class doesn't matter at all. In the middle there's a big grey area. Somebody actually might feel differently about Batman if they knew he was Bruce Wayne. Someone else wouldn't.
Re: Gordon especially, I realized I was originally leaving him out since he's not on the superhero team. But it's one of the unique features of the Bat-verse that Batman works with Gordon, the regular cop. Batman's like an extra power for Gordon, the legitimate arm of the law.
Though I don't know if it matters that he and Alfred are adults or defined by their jobs--their jobs are also very defining of their class, I'd think. Gordon's interaction with Bruce Wayne might be different than his interaction with Batman. One could say that they're okay as long as they don't try to be superheroes, but that doesn't really seem to be the case with those two especially. (Alfred's now leading the Outsiders.)
Don't think bringing in Tim's current state of being written is a fair reflection of the character
I did at first just list him as moral, which I think is correct. But then, a lot of Jason's "badness" pre-death were (often retconned-in) hints. It seemed like it was beginning to maybe become enough of Tim's fundamental character that it could be included. Though his flirting with darkness doesn't seem like foreshadowing, just a character challenge. But it does still depend on him having specific moral cracks.
Jason's being very skilled is definitely recent, but I got the impression he was pretty standard in his abilities as Robin, with the main problems being emotional, which also sometimes led to him not being diligent. So his problem wasn't incompetence.
Like, for me it seems like Jason and Steph are the two who were too unstable to succeed, but in different ways. Jason was too angry (ironically it's Jason who's more likely to see criminals from any background as scum to be eliminated, but he also comes from the underclass himself so it's a different dynamic) and it made him reckless. Steph seems written as enthusiastic but fatally & incurably short-sighted.
Interesting, too, that both those character are linked to Tim. Tim was created to work in ways Jason didn't. (I know him being rich and educated was intentional on that front.) Steph was created as a supporting character in Tim's book, someone for him to play off of--which she could have done as a girl from his own class, but she wasn't written as that.
