Batman is an example of someone fierce to criminals. In general, the public thinks of Batman as a brave enforcer of justice and has a positive view of him.
Something similar happens with the Lord.
In Psalm 76:7-10/MSG:
Fierce you are, and fearsome!
Who can stand up to your rising anger?
From heaven you thunder judgment;
earth falls to her knees and holds her breath.
God stands tall and makes things right,
he saves all the wretched on earth.
Instead of smoldering rage—God-praise!
All that sputtering rage—now a garland for God!
The human reaction to his anger can be a latent anger, and indeed, some people hold a rage against the Lord. The psalmist enjoins praising the Lord rather than harboring anger against him, and indeed the anger of the Lord is another characteristic of the Lord to be praised.
