I've always thought of that scene in Dark Knight where Batman goes after that guy in Hong Kong as a metaphoric justification for the War on Terror. At face value it just seems like an excuse to have some set pieces outside of Gotham, which, yeah, it is, but the whole thing about ”Batman having no jurisdiction” (which is considered a good thing) and the Bush mass surveillance apologism make it obvious to me that the message is that it's sometimes good when people invade another country and do what they want with no accountability.
Western powers do that all the time they use legalistic bulshit to justify kidnaping random people, doing piracy in the high seas, stealing peoples money from banks.
Jurisdictions and legality are tools of the people making the laws. There is no diferent between that and batman nabing a guy.
Or north korea wackig some spy. I happen to belibe the north koreans are in the rigth. But the truth is that it can also be seen as me suporting these types of actions when its the guys i like doing it. And honestly im fine with that. Id love it if an iranian equivalent of batman were to grab reza khavari for example.
