Unfortunately, the reference is spoiled by being Frank Miller's obscenely fascist Batman ("The world only makes sense when you FORCE it to") from The Dark Knight Returns, or as I like to call it, Batman Shrugged. By the end of the book he's actually assembled his own cadre of brownshirts from the disillusioned, aimless children of the 'useless liberal' caricatures that populate Gotham (New Robin's own 'rents are so stoned out of their gourds 24/7 that they can't remember if they even have a child, haw haw).
God, have you seen the animated adaptation? Miller's book was unsubtle enough about the Joker's sexual orientation; his voice actor in the 'toon performed a Paul Lynde imitation to hammer the point home.
Not necessarily, if you read the next panel...

In American politics? About 20% approval.
Do you think people remember that line having a split infinitive because it sounds better that way?
Stop trying to force Latin rules onto English. I'll end a sentence with a preposition whenever I feel like!
My argument is that an hostile group has no right to march down a city with deadly weapons, therefore there is no right to protect. The end.
I've read enough Frank Miller to know that he's not necessarily a role model.
But if it helps, let me clarify: Do not become a costumed vigilante.
A relative of Herman Miller?

Yeah, I'm perfectly willing to admit I'm wrenching that gun-busting panel completely out of context.
I far prefer this animated adaptation of Watchmen:
