Probably not the best example. Batman's in a bad headspace after being left at the alter and Nightwing getting shot in the head and losing his memory (like you do). He jumps to a conclusion and assaults and apprehends Mr. Freeze. When he realizes his mistake he has Bruce Wayne put on the jury so he can 12 angry men the jury into finding him innocent.

Superheroes usually have the luxury of some chap in dayglo Spandex with guns for ears expounding their plan for a new world government in the middle of the street during peak shopping hours though, to be fair, which helps tremendously with identifying the guilty party.
We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't. - Frank Howard Clark
The wise man doubts often, and changes his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubts not; he knows all things but his own ignorance.
The correct statement of individual rights is that everyone has the right to an opinion, but crucially, that opinion can be roundly ignored and even made fun of, particularly if it is demonstrably nonsense!” Professor Brian Cox

Batman got away with GBH/ABH for his actions during the apprehension?
I get the watchman protests if the number of wrongful high profile arrests steadily increased in total over time. Saying you are above the security system then making mistakes will rarely look good.

I have no idea what those acronyms mean.

ABH is Actual Bodily Harm
GBH is Grevious Bodily Harm
In the UK and some other jurisdictions assault can be categorised as “common assault”, assault causing ABH, and assault causing GBH. Usually referred to as ABH and GBH where common assault is the least severe and GBH the most severe. (This is an over-simplification as there are degrees of severity in these categories).
I think from watching American tv and films the closest equivalence might be misdemeanour assault compared with felony assault.
