There is a small amount of truth in the column. Like there is truth when Bushie's remind us that both Lincoln and Roosevelt suspended Habeas Corpus.
What they miss is that while Batman did spy on everyone to find the Joker, he sought approval for it and destroyed it in the end. The extensions of Presidential power that Bush seeks are permanent.
And of course we see that Batman saw that his way was the extreme needed for the moment. He was looking to balance the system and retire.

Bush is the Caesar that Batman feared.
