In his early days, yeah, maybe, but -- and this is just my personal taste based on only slight familiarity because I'm not really a fan (go, Spiderman) -- the later, Dark Knight Batman also seems to have devolved into violence-fetishism.
Guns are just the prop of the fetish. They kill people in real life, but they didn't get stuck in our minds all by themselves. Our gun fixation exists within a larger context of fixation on violence, taking many forms. To me, later versions of Batman seem to wallow in inflicting pain and physical damage on characters to a near-porn degree. That kind of thing is something I think we need to get some self-awareness on.
I recently watched a movie called Headhunters. It was Swedish, if I recall correctly. Hard to remember what language I'm hearing when I'm basically reading the movie in English subtitles. Anyway, it was a crime thriller about a thief running afoul of a killer, and there was a shit-ton of violence in it. However, even though violence resolved the plot in the end, the violence was not glorified nor presented as fun in any way. Possibly the most unrealistic thing about it was that the MC survived to the end. They really beat the crap out of this poor guy. But in any event, what saved the day was not the last bullet fired, but the cleverness of the MC in preparing for the final showdown. If we're going to apply a Hayes Code approach -- which we absolutely
should not do ever again -- then "Headhunters" was pretty damned irresponsible, socially. But still, what it glorified was brains over violence. (It was also pretty good. I recommend it to a mature audience.)
For an American example of something similar, I think of Ocean's Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen, which similarly make heroes out of criminals, but which are love-letters to intelligence, cunning, expertise and wit, rather than violence. I wonder if we cannot start to think about how we, as Americans, traditionally or ideally address challenges and conflicts to come out winners without killing people. I would love to see us get to a place where the American hero/heroine is smart instead of violent, where young people grow up with role models that use their intelligence to save their lives, and where we grow up to be focused on preventing violence rather than engaging in it.
