What happens when "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" is completely ignored and being declared guilty by the Court of Public Opinion reaches its logical conclusion.
All of Bob's peers are convinced that he's the one who stole Alice's car, even though he was legally declared innocent due to lack of evidence to prove it. So they all resorted to Vigilantism and piled on him like vultures.

na na na na na BATMAN......

Basically, when law enforcement is doing a shit job beacuse....

A) There is to much crime

B) They are confined by the law in some way

C) They are corrupt

D) They are stupid and just don't care

Someone rises above all the bullshit and beats the ever living fuck out of the "bad guys" AKA criminals and yes this includes woman... I don't want to be sexist. I mean seriously? Haley Quinn anyone?

They rescue the victims, and disappear into the shadows. Like BATMAN!!!!! ;)

An outlaw who punishes lawbreakers personally and illegally instead or relying on the inadequate law enforcers of society.
A vigilante could be either a robin hood-ish rescuer of the weak and destitute, a suspect-zero-ish killer of other killers, or a borderline insane killer of "bad people" (se7en).
They say Batman is nothing more than a vigilante. I say, what's so bad about that? Gotham's never felt so safe.
