It's true, Owlman has a much better costume than Batman

Not at first. Those surplus desert dress uniforms were tacky awful.

The fascist uniforms in Star Trek: Enterprise the evil universe episode were pretty fucking hot as well.

Needs a soda straw over the crotch.

Rumor has it that the writers wrote themselves into a corner: evil Batman simply had better arguments on his side. (The writers managed to extricate themselves later, of course.)

Well Batman's story has always had this fascist undertone, so it would make sense that he'd be an easy convert.

Not just batmans story, batman himself.

His existence is scaring or beating people he doesn't like into doing what he wants. And ignoring people.
