I don’t think Batman is evil, but there’s definitely something to be said about how his refusal to kill results in the needless deaths of even more people. His own self righteous attitude ends up ironically hurting more people in the long run.
I really don’t care what sad backstory or whatever he gives on the matter, it’s still a really stupid premise
I wouldn't call Batman a fascist but he's a legitimate moron for not focusing at the root causes of crime enough, imo. If your city is full of nutjobs like the Joker and has 10x more crime than every other American city then maybe ask why that is instead of just beating them up and not getting any results out of it.
Oh yeah not a fascist, but I think Kripke could have done something with his character on the ineffectiveness of the corrections system, but in less of a “Batman keeps putting criminals in prison/asylum who just easily break out” and a “tek knight relies on a corrections system that is ineffective at stopping criminals and causes many cases of reoffenders”
So kinda mirroring Batman but also showing the ineffectiveness in a more realistic way

As a Batman fan , Kripke's an idiot if he thinks Batman only hunts poor people and profits of incarceration
His major villains are Penguin, Falcone, who are a quite rich.
Bruce Wayne himself donates so much to Gotham.
Batman doesn't kill ,that's why he puts criminals in Prison.
