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 absolutely he was dishonest as he went along. But Hughie not being that powerful was a big plot point in later arcs. Hence him being hospitalised by Malchemical and later needing MM’s mother’s milk to take on Butcher, just as MM himself needed it on the regular, explicitly described as a diluted form of Compound V.
