Batman does seem to only fight costumed criminals, except for in the beginning of story arcs, where he jumps down into an alley to fight thugs while narrating in the background of before another costumed criminal breaks out of Arkham. The Punisher leaves Marvel's costumed bad guys to the Avengers, while he kills mobsters and drug dealers, which are real problems in our society (even though criminals with masks would be no less dangerous than criminals without them). All I'm saying here is that the Punisher is more realistic.
