And here we see the failure of Kantian style ethics. Batman's intent is moral and just, for him... But overall the outcome results in greater tragedy for everyone else.

Yeah, but that's a point routinely highlighted in Batman, namely that Batman is deeply troubled and isn't strictly doing this for the good of Gotham. Batman having very strongly held ethics isn't meant to show that they're good ethics.
