Reason for the use of "Government Agent"[]
Is there a source for the point under trivia that Batman was changed into a government agent due to, I assume, the Hays Code?
As near as I can tell that code limited what illegal acts could be put into a film where the audience could sympathize with or replicate it, but "vigilantism" wasn't one that was specifically listed. See [1], [2], [3], and [4]. The closest it gets is "Revenge" under the broad topic of murder.
