Isn't this basically the plot of one comic arc where Joker is the ambassador to Iran and getting diplomatic immunity?

there's a comic series fittingly called The Authority where the creator investigates what would happen if superheroes actually started making moral choices instead of just being puppets who uphold the status quo. I want to say that in the hands of a good director it could rise above capeshit, but capitalism might fuck it up anyway
