How's the GM going to know whether you mean the Adam West Batman (who's Lawful Good) or Crazy Steve from All-Star Batman and Robin (who's Chaotic Evil)?

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
If the sheet is for a paladin of vengeance, then that probably excludes the thought of Adam Wests Batman who'd be more of a Paladin of Justice; or rather perhaps, a bard.

Thank you for your time and please have a very pleasant day.
Crazy Steve is the fan nickname first used on the web video Atop the Fourth Wall for the Batman from All Star Batman And Robin, because Frank Miller wrote Batman in that story as a murderous psychopath so fans prefer to pretend that it's not actually Bruce Wayne in the story, it's Crazy Steve the escaped Arkham patient who stumbled across a Batman costume.
The point is that there are a lot of different versions of Batman so you shouldn't assume that your audience knows which one you're actually talking about when you say Batman.
Honestly, for a Vengeance Paladin following the tenets described in the PHB and Batman's general trends, I'd say we're looking closer to True Neutral. He's got enough willingness to work with a larger structure to not be dedicated Chaotic, but he's still quick enough to go his own way or plan against entrenched institutions that he's not a good fit for Lawful, and while obviously not Evil, Vengeance tenets are sufficiently demanding that it's hard to stay Good while conforming to them. Granted, "No Mercy for the Wicked" makes it a bit hard to really fit Batman in any case.

I mean, not really?

I don't know Crazy Steve.
