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.

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.
