    It makes a lot more sense if you start headcanoning that Batman is mentally unstable and racked with survivor’s guilt/obsession for revenge against the people he thinks caused his parents’ death.

    Or that he’s straight up working for the bourgeois and his goal isn’t actually to stop crime or protect innocent people. Actually, this would explain why the Gotham City government (or the feds for that matter) isn’t shutting down his whole operation.
