Hot take: as someone who has read a lot of batman and batman-adjacent comics within the past couple months, the "batman is a fascist who beats up poor people" line is just flat out wrong unless your sole experience with the character is The Dark Knight Returns, Batman vs Superman, or heaven forbid All-Star Batman and Robin
Pretty much all the significant Batman runs of the past 25 years like Morrison's and Snyder's have been supervillain focused. Even the more ground-level runs like Dini's deal with serial killers and plain 'ol villains, not random robbers.
There are larger issues with how police and crime are addressed in the comics, but this one just isn't it
Yeah been trying to say this lol.
Well said.
