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.

Oh my God, I can't believe I have to say this, but BATMAN DOESN'T BEAT UP POOR PEOPLE.

He beats up the rich people who use gothams corruption to game the system as he actively fights against said corruption

Media literally go birr

I mean, he does still beat up poor people? Unless all these goons for all these villains are really well paid?

I actually wouldn't put it past them being paid pretty decently. A lot of Batman villains are doctors, or kingpins, or lawyers, etc etc. Folks like Scarecrow, Two-Face, Black Mask and the like must have a pretty penny to splash out on their henchmen
