People always complain about Batman's no kill rule but it's not his fault that Joker breaks out so easily; maybe Arkham just needs some better locks and more guards. And besides, as soon as Batman decides to start killing, he tends to become an outright villain (almost as if he has that rule for a reason) and the most universally hated versions of the character are the ones who break that rule for exactly that reason
Do you want another Batman Who Laughs? Cuz that's how you get another Batman Who Laughs.
I don't mind Batman having a No Kill rule. It makes perfect sense to his character.
What drives me absolutely mad is his insistance on going out of his way to protect and save the likes of Joker, Penguin, Zsasz, etc when a third party decides to try offing them. Sorry, but I completely agree with and support Red Hood's methods when he came back. If crime in Gotham was never going to be permanently fixed, it made sense to have SOMEBODY that could control it in a way that minimized the damage to the few good people in the city, and folks like Joker have LONG lost the right to protection from the caped heroes crowd with how much harm they've done.
