      People like OP remind me that there are, indeed, those who think Batman is worse than people with genocidal tendencies just because his daddy was rich.

        I used to be one of those people, even advocated for retiring the character because “Rich guy who beats up the mentally ill… not a relatable hero for millenials…”

        But I realized that was the result of a poor understanding of the character and oversimplification of the themes.

        Batman is usually the number 1 guy adovcating for the very people he regularly fights to given the chance for rehabilitation.

        Not solely incarceration but a legitimate chance to re enter society and build a respectable career.

        The exception is Frank Miller who tends to write Batman like a fascist, but… that’s because Frank Miller is a fascist with a warped sense of morality and reality.
