Isn't the fettered just the unfettered with the goal of "follow these rules."?

The inherent duality between the fettered and unfettered is a matter of ends vs. means. Case in point, crime figthing; a fettered character like Batman or Superman will fetter themsselves by refusing to resort to the means of killing people, while an unfettered crime fighter like Rorschach or the Punisher will kill without a pang of guilt or a moments hesitation if it will further their goals.
