Ok, let's say Amon has some similarities with Batman, both have tragedies early in their life.

Batman plans and uses people like Amon for his cause.

They both hide their alter ego to protect their identities.

What makes Batman a hero and Amon a villain.

Batman fights against injustice, Amon fights against certain type of people.

Just because someonse with a gun killed your parents, you wipe out guns entirely? Even if Batman doesn't use guns he agrees that a person with certain level of skill and morality can wield a gun, he let Alfred use a gun.

Amon just fights against Benders, he made a sweeping generalization that because benders killed his parents, then bending is entirely evil. What if the person who killed his parents were non- benders?

That reason alone makes it seem that Amon's plan is prone to fail.

The fire nation conquering the 4 nations is a better plot in terms of pace and story telling, they made the war last for a hundred years with the fire nation gradually increasing in power, and realistically speaking would have won if not for Aang's deus ex machina.

Amon has a relatively short time to fulfill his goal, and when he's gone, you'd think that remaining benders would just be wiped out by his followers?

Remember that there are non benders that are allies of benders, So what will Amon do if they go against him? Take their bending away, or kill them? If he chose to kill them then that's it for his ambition, he becomes the very man he fights against.
