The very best villains don't see themselves as villains. :)
In Batty's case, he was born into slavery. Sanctioned slavery. Bryant tells us that they hijacked a shuttle to escape and killed the entire crew, but is that even true? Or just another manipulation by Bryant?
Certainly Batty and the others would see killing a shuttle crew to escape slavery as necessary, even if it DID happen...
