He was meant to be a hero, but not in the same term as many consider heroes to be. He isn't the poster child for doing the right thing. He sure as hell wont be winning any recognitions for being a peace keeper. In many cases, he was just as psychotic, vengeful, and dark as the villians he faced. However, he still was the one that fought to protect what he loved, even if it meant stepping on a few toes...or breaking a few legs.
The only good thing that came from Batman Beyond was the first episode, where Batman picks up a gun, uses it and kills the attackers, and realizes he's just broken a promise he made to himself. For those that go see this movie and wonder what Joker means by his "rule", he refuses to kill anyone. He feels everyone deserves that chance to live. That ties into the "no guns" rule. He's vowed to never use a gun to kill someone, as it's dishonorable and cowardly. So, everything from then on in Batman Beyond was just..bad.
