The way I see it, Travis thinks he's doing something good, and succeeds in becoming a 'hero' purely by accident.

That's the beauty of the movie. He steps past the breaking point but his focus was on getting the girl out so all the violence is justified. But he's not perfect, otherwise his true intentions would have been completed and he'd be recognized as the monster he really is. It's all perspectives.
