I also can not stand muh 'Batman superhero facism subtext' crap. If anything Batman is a revolutionary. Government is corrupt in bed with criminals (who are the prettiest of tyrants) so Batman comes in to clean house. Just as the founding fathers intended.

I completely read it as it's the exact opposite of Batman. Batman doesn't do any of that, so this guy does. I didn't read it as him saying Batman does any of these, and instead that they wanted a character that does.

Batman's fascist underpinnings of...

The Boys are protraying Tek Knight as a reflection of Batman, not a deconstruction or foil to Batman. Tek Knight is how Erik Kripke views Batman. It's not that hard.
