Frollo's villainy could be considered a "did nothing wrong" if he truly believed he was doing was for the betterment of his fellow citizens, but he was clearly driven by selfish desires which he tried to mask. A shame he was written in such a way. Villains with good intentions always inspire dramatic or emotional feelings. Although I never liked the movie much aside from the songs… Please don't lynch.

Precious metals only work when a significant portion of the population relies upon subsistence farming or barter. Once everyone needs cash for day to day living, the entire system collapses.

To add: What could've been interesting for Freeze is that given he's a fucking genius single-handedly pioneering all this tech, he starts selling his inventions to weapons dealers because they pay more and aks less than other criminal outlets legitimate military corporations.
This makes him, indirectly, a bad person doing shady shit to meet a goal. He's technically not killing anyone, he's just selling tech. He becomes the Wernher von Braun of Gotham: He doesn't give a shit about who he's working for or the atrocities that get committed with his technology because he can both plead that he has no clue how it's being used and he's only interesting in developing technology to save his wife/prolong her existence.
Insert plotline of Victor Fries being a Wayne Industries scientist with a secret persona (Freeze) and Batman uncovering what's going on, eventually choosing to bankroll Freeze to give him better tech and simultaneously keep Freeze from selling his shit to other villains, and you could get an interesting character dynamic.

Gee, I wonder who'd come out on top in that world. For all his talk of "le memes, the Patriots, muh liberty," the fact of the matter is that Armstrong was just the same as any other crazed, power-hungry tyrant and was looking to stack the odds in his favor.

It's weird, this post prompted me to give that two-parter a rewatch, but by the time I reached the final act I had forgotten when I started watching it in the first place.
And I incidentally found myself thinking "Why are they attacking this guy? All he's done is make a living world out of the hellhole his dimension has become".
And now I return to this thread and see the original post that got me watching it, echoing my opinion. I've come full circle.
**It turned out the civilians were real people being enslaved by him in some "It's a good life"-esque nightmare, explicitly stating that they considered living in a nuclear wasteland as a lesser evil. So there was some merit to stopping him. But the Justice League didn't know that when they started fighting him.
There's also a question of whether that portal was ever going to become operation if the League had just played along. But considering Ray had the guy working on it even there were supervillains to stop, and that Ray would have wanted the League out of his dimension as they posed a threat it seems very likely.**

Even if he was exiled or denied the throne because his parents were dicks who hated him for being albino, Shen would have conquered and unified China anyways. Same golden age after removing power from the kung fu warlords who only have power because they could take it.
