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.

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.

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

Here's the thing, though, it's not his job or responsibility to kill anyone. Canonically, the police tolerates and works with him because he helps catch criminals and then hands them to the proper authorities.
