Heh, reminded me of a Bat Villain I made up called Madame Guillotine, who was basically a French Revolution inspired hipster who had her followers abduct rich people and others she regards as being in the same whole as the aristrocrats from that period of French History, and decapitate them.
She gets some support from the average man on the street, getting a whole Anarky angle to it, but due to her being ignorant and murderous she just have people abducted regardless of whether they actually are good employers, give to charity etc. on the basis that her actions get her publicity.
Anarky sort of tried that, when he appeared in the BTAS comic (Written by Alan Grant, in a story one suspects was an inventory issue of Batman, with BTAS Dick taking the role probably written with mainstream Tim in mind)
He hijacks some big banquet where the most powerful of the cities industrialists are being celebrated and is prepared to blow them sky high for their Capitalist type crimes. Bruce Wayne (who is in attendance natch) he goes out of his way to note, is actually ethically cleaner than any businessman he's ever come acorss before; no sweatshops, no exploitation, an all round model employer, but decides he's guilty of associating with the other fatcats and so should get blown up anyway.
Yes but isn't it revealed at the end of the story he's not actually going to blow anyone up, it was a huge stunt to draw attention to their activities?
