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.
