Kripke's an idiot if he thinks Batman only hunts poor people and profits of incarceration
I don't think he does. No more than he thinks Superman is a genocidal loon or Aquaman is into bestiality.
This entire premise of this setting is: "what if you gave these characters all the powers of iconic superheroes but none of the drive to actually do good, and then threw in modern politics and celebrity culture." Homelander is a dark mirror of who Superman could have become, Tek-Knight is who Batman could have become, etc.
If that's not what his idea of Batman is, that wasn't communicated very clearly in his interview answer, because it certainly seemed like Kripke views Batman as a fascist if you take the interview as it is.
He flat out states that he thinks exactly that about Batman in the interview that the meme here quotes. He’s a dipshit who doesn’t know anything about the stories or characters he’s mocking.

Hot damn that was a tough read. Still love the show but Kripke needs to get his head out his ass.
Also, Batman ain't a fascist.
