Lets be real, the problem with batman isnt his no-killing rule. Batman is just a PG hero based around rehabilitation and second chances on life, that bad writers keep forcing into R-rated stories against people that crossed the very peaks of depravity with kill counts of biblical proportions.

[@TheUnknownGruntProductions]

@@the_dapper_stormtrooper9302 honestly, it does kinda start to feel like that. Problem with Batman’s no kill rule isn’t necessarily the fact that it’s wrong, it’s the fact that it’s in the wrong environment.

For me it's not the rule that's the problem. It's the fact writers will have Bruce attack OTHER people for not also subscribing to his same code. I can understand that he'd snap from killing the Joker, he's already messed up in the head and the Joker is WAY too personal of a hit for him not to go off the edge. So I get that he chooses not to kill the Joker, but its the fact he'd stop OTHERS like Jason, Punisher, or Huntress from killing him as well that pisses me off about the whole "No Killing" thing. Just because Batman chooses to be a symbol of hope that refuses to take a life, doesn't mean other vigilantes have to follow his code.

[@TheLegendex]

For me, the biggest point to Jasons argument was when he said, I’m not talking about killing penguin or scarecrow or Dent just him I believe that shows that even Jason thinks some of those guys are redeemable, but Joker’s just on another level

[@thienbaongo7997]

A little aside, I believe he did end up going after Penguin to try and kill him in the comics later. (I don't know the context.) Maybe Penguin did do something REALLY bad, but so much for "I'm not talking about killing Penguin..."

Penguin and his social status, Batman and his desire to stop crime.

[@SOBEKCrocodileGod]

The only major Batman villains I’d say are completely unredeemable are Joker, Professor Pyg, and Zsasz. Victor Zsasz is probably well aware that what he is doing is “wrong” but he enjoys what he does and is completely numb to everything else. Joker knows that he is evil and absolutely LOVES it. Pyg is so delusional that he thinks he’s saving people when he does his horrific experiments, and I don’t think he could ever change from this delusion. Maybe Black Mask too. That guy’s a straight up sadist.

Batman is unwell, in that he's been deeply traumatized and never had a childhood; "Bruce Wayne never left that alleyway," "Bruce Wayne died that night," etc. The morally correct thing is to kill the Joker, but Batman can't bring himself to do it, he always has an excuse. Maybe he's genuinely afraid that he'll snap, maybe that's irrational or rational. Maybe he even just loves the chase and hates to admit that. There could be plenty of reasons that he can justify it with, but never a "correct" one; he just can't. If there's any story that shows that sort of idea, I actually think it's Under the Red Hood. Specifically with Joker's line, "You found a way where nobody has to die and everyone loses." What Batman's doing is wrong, in that movie, and it expertly argues why it's wrong. ...Not that that's hard.

Like an addiction, he keeps going back to the same old harmful things that could destroy him, yet doesn't want to acknowledge the fact that he should stop and try to help himself for once. That's kinda my main problem with Batman and his writing, it used to be about hope and wanting be better and help Gotham be better.

You will never eliminate the element of crime completely as long as there is free will because it will just adapt to its circumstances. If you eliminate the criminals who aren’t scared and manipulate the ones who are for economic control then you can create a better functioning society.

[@joelkilchoer4238]

I think it’s just a good real life principle clashing with the genre, like you said. Vigilantes shouldn’t go around killing people, but the problem is that for example the Joker is the ideal fictional use case for an advocate of the death penalty. He cannot be kept in prison, he cannot be reformed, he WILL break out and kill more people unless you take that step.

[@TheUnknownGruntProductions]

@@joelkilchoer4238 the problem with that principle in superhero stuff generally (but especially DC) is that they say that, but then make the villains attempt to wipe out entire civilizations or kill thousands of people. The only superhero media that I think does the whole no killing thing well enough is Spider-Man, because Spidey’s rogues are very often just down on their luck crooks who don’t really have many options. Even Norman Osborn typically suffers from legitimate mental illness and there’s often an air of tragedy around the character.

[@adambump5297]

The thing is Batman is a perfectionist so he knows that he's mentally unstable just as unstable as the people he fights if not more so that means that in his mind he knows that if he kills even once even if it's someone as vile as the Joker then he can't trust himself anymore becuase he knows that he'll never be able to stop killing.

Yeah, In a universe where you're going super dark and gritty where the Villains arent just being a nuisance while stealing money, But are constantly going around murdering people, The No-Killing rule for Batman is kinda out of the park, It just makes no sense when people who murder hundreds and keep breaking out just... Repeat that forever. But at least it makes sense in the old format of things where a lot of the time villains are just... One offs who never threaten anyone again, Or where them killing someone is a rare thing because... you know, Even Bank Robbers are just there to rob the bank and get out... Not kill everyone in the building. So the "Lets not kill them either" rule kinda makes sense there. Guess its not too surprising that a not-too-bad moral of a Character falls apart when you change the Joker from a guy that keeps gassing people with laughing-gas while robbing banks, to a full on domestic terrorist. ...........

Tbf the "no-killing" rule is a relic from a time when batman was a super-campy child's character meant to teach kids common moral lessons. It's part of the problem with those kids growing up and still wanting to carry those characters with them: the characters have to grow up too, except for these weird hold-overs from the era when they essentially were a child's toy.

[@The_Platinum_Realist]

Bruce can't really counter any argument to breaking his one rule when the context involves Joker. I get what he's saying, but Joker is a complete utter burden to everyone and has clearly shown he has no interest in changing. Being insane and having rough background doesn't excuse someone who knows right and wrong. It's only a matter of time. Sooner or later there's going to be a comic story arc that comes out where Bruce is going to have to come to terms that he's going to need to break his one rule with Joker because he'll see he has no choice.

He'd eventually become like Owlman or the Batman Who Laughs, and he's aware of it. Joker knows it too, which is why he constantly tries to push Batman over the edge.

As an Autistic ADHD person, I get Bruce's whole "No Killing" rule, but it only works when you look at him as Neurodivergant which I do: my brain struggles to know when enough is enough, especially when emotions run hot, and if I were to let myself cross that line fully on any one person, even once, how will I know I won't do it again? If I keep the dam up it's stable, but even one fracture in the foundation and suddenly everything is at risk of the crashing wave of a flood. That fear mixed with the knowledge of my struggle to know when enough is enough and when I go overboard and my main worry is about releasing that level of wrath reserved for people like the Joker on people like Bill the Henchman who is just trying to make enough money to feed his kids while being stuck in the bad part of Gotham. I'm not all that strong or combat trained, so even in the worst case I probably won't be too much a risk to others, but take that mentality and give it to the body that can bench the Kingpin on a rest day and the wit and determination to stand face to face against Darkseid and win a battle of wills, and suddenly we see the single most dangerous person on earth actively nerfing himself so as to not let himself go overboard.
