| R'AS AL GHUL IS UNJUST and BARBARIAN |
Batman has a special relationship in fighting crime where he isn't the executioner. His plan is wisely conceived and normally well executed. This is the reason Batman tries not to kill the villains he works so hard to stop from flooding Gotham with crime; he tries to stop them and to catch them. His plan is for civilian government to manage their containment and punishments.
America is Gotham in this metaphor. R'as Al Ghul says Gotham is evil and must be fully destroyed. Batman was a League of Shadows trainee of Ghul, but found out their plan, and refused to join and conform. He decides to catch the outlaws, but will turn them over to America's legal system for sentencing.
Perfection is the destination, so Batman's journey has flaws. His long-term mission consumes much of his efforts, but he hopes to prevent R'as Al Ghul and the League of Shadows from destroying Gotham.
