  I thought Batman was just lawful. He serves the interests of the rich and works with the cops.

      Sure it is! He’s deputized by the GCPD. And it’s part of his personal code.

    That’s like saying Atticus Finch isn’t a hero in To Kill A Mockingbird because you, personally, are racist and don’t think fighting for the rights of black people is a noble persuit. A character is a hero in a story if they are good according to the morals implicit in the story’s world.

  I always took anti hero to mean bad protagonist. Like in any normal story they’re almost definitely the villain, but the story follows them as the main character so we see the world through their eyes.

  With this in mind i guess joker became anti hero when he got his own movie

    That seems way to general. I wouldn’t label Tony Montana or Walter White anti heros.
