Batman is just an out-of-touch, or straight up disturbed, rich kid who uses his wealth to nurse pathological guilt over his parent’s death. Had he been poor, he probably would’ve wound up being the kind of petty criminal Batman typically takes out.
Batman’s very existence creates a cycle of escalation- in response to his extreme vigilantism, extreme criminality is created.
Batman acts outside the law, respecting no privacy, due process, or legal rights of any kind. He uses force to try to create a world compliant with his own personal morality.

Yes, he was violating the rights of the Joker and all those other "alleged bad guys". We have no right to judge people as "bad" simply because they kill innocent people.

You are correct actually. But what pulls him back from being a complete psycho is that ultimately he does not kill and he brings the criminals he captures to the authorities/police. He even works closely with them.
The Punisher on the other hand just kills criminals without any due process whatsoever. There is a difference. They've never really dealt with the concept of what would happen if the Punisher killed someone who it turned out was innocent the whole time. Batman would never have that particular problem.
