We all the vigiliantism is a crime. But in the case of Batman being a vigilante in a place where criminals rule and cops are the take it makes perfect sense that Batman being a vigilante is not a crime. Batman helps and protects the innocent and punishes the guilty. Debate on this. Send me a private email.

The problem is that its illegal to run around beating up bad men unless you see them commiting a dispicable act.

In the comic world No he is not because he has law enforcement officials blessing to help them chase and catch criminals.However he should have been a wanted criminal in the horrible Burton Batman versions because Batman is only authorized to capture criminals by the police,he's not permitted to take the law into his own hands and murder people in cowardly ways like he did.In Nolans Batman Begins he wasnt a criminal because he did not kill people.
I agree because by killing the Joker in Burton's batman,he was a criminal

I voted for "no" His crimes are most often in defence of the defenceless -criminal arrest. The rest are... well... ok that stuff is illegal. But I think that a good lawyer could succesfuly plead self defence in 90 percent of the cases.
This is a good question, though. Civil war is a very good issue, indeed.
I never mentioned anything about breaking someones back.

Yes. He is a criminal. No queston about it. If it wasn't for the fact that he lives in a fictional world of fictional crap, he'd be considered as much of a criminal as the average skell who's committed several hundred odd offenses... as Black Mask pointed out in War Games: Attacking a SUSPECTED criminal is a crime!
Good point.yeah that was always my one problem that I had with Batman as a comicbook character is if he wasn't in a fictional world he would be considered a criminal because the system doesn't permit you to take the law into your own hands.Thats why I really enjoyed Begins so much is because even though Batman did not kill people,there was still in all points bulletin out for his arrest,thats very realistic because thats the way it would be and he escaped the police with his sophisticated Batmobile in a believable way. 🙂
