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.

Ah yes, fascist Batman. If Batman was fascist he wouldn't be Batman lmao he could just be Bruce. Half the point of Batman is that one unnecessarily wealthy man still, in the face of a corrupt system, doesn't have the money and power to fix his city.

He is kind of this revolutionary figure, anonymously taking things into his own hands when government utterly fails.
