Batman being fascist really depends on whos writing him. In some comics he is a control freak fascist. In some he is barely keeping it together and is just as crazy as those in Arkham asylum. In others he is the shield against the madness of Arkham. In others he is fighting again authoritarian Superman. And in others still he is painting Robin and himself yellow and beating the shit out of Green lantern for some fucking reason.
I don’t know what my point is beyond Batman can very a lot.
The truth is the idea of super heroes in general is fascist but it takes all the fun out of them so I try not to think about it too much and just clap when Spider-Man makes a ha-ha.
Any superhero can go full fascist if we think about it.
That’s literally the theme of the injustice saga!
Superman, the sweetest and most kind of heroes, created a world government ruled only by those who he deemed worthy and started killing anyone “bad”.
Any superhero, if mentally challenged enough (for context Superman just had his pregnant wife killed and his city destroyed), can do pretty much that. (That’s also where Batman’s contingency plans come in)
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.

Can someone explain batman’s appeal? Is it just that he’s so angry and traumatized all the time?
He’s voiced by Kevin Conroy
No, you don’t understand, batman is rich so he is allowed to use violence.
