Batman oppresses crime and everybody thinks he’s cool, I don’t see why oppressing fascists should be any different
Batman is a billionaire vigilante that destroys half of Gotham every few days. What are you talking about. He would be the first to go full fascist.
If I recall correctly, he pretty much did in the Christopher Nolan Batman films.
Full surveillance state, not sure if facist fully applies but definitely crossed some significant lines in those movies
He knew he did, which is why he built in the "destroy it Lucious" safeguard and gave him the "do it" button.
Man knew he was out of line, still did it for the greater good, but then striped himself of that power immediately and permanently.
Ethically grey, landing somewhere around neutral good. In the range of "keep an eye on his squirrelly ass."
