>>85093406>A fictional character like Batman can take liberties with realism in order to tell an interesting story.But when you take liberties, you lose what the character is ABOUT.
The core of almost all superheroes, the classical ones, not the edgy antiheroes designed to be a subversion like Punisher, is that they just want to supplement or improve the system of laws that already exist for society. They want to make CATCHING criminals more efficient or successful, so they go out and they do a larger scale version of "a cop is chasing a purse snatcher, I put my foot out and trip him so the cop can catch up"
Sentencing is what courts do. It's not a hero's job. They shouldn't even be TOUCHING the idea of passing judgment about what to do WITH the criminal once he's caught.
Bruce Wayne inherently believes in the system, he believes the law CAN work. He has no problem with the judges, it's just that the cops in Gotham are corrupt or inept and need to be supplemented so there's less muggers in the alleys.
