Yeah a guy who gos out of his way to protect the innocent and never kill anyone isnt a good person

Well, no, I kind of get where he's coming from there. Like he's not against breaking someone to get what he wants. He won't kill them but he carries out his work with no empathy. Clark acts in such a way that values humanity and doing good in the world whereas Bruce has a deep-rooted hatred of criminality and isn't afraid to push boundaries or cross lines in order to exercise it.

In other words it takes more than not being willing to kill people to make you a vigilante with good intentions. Superman is the type of guy who might go home at night and question if he handled a situation as best he could whereas Batman would never second-guess himself if he accomplished his goal.

Interestingly it's always Superman who flies off the deep-end in alternate reality stories and becomes a fascist and Batman becomes the voice of the oppressed instead of the other way around, which makes more sense when you take into account their worldviews.
