The HATE on Batman's No Kill Rule is STUPID

Batman's no-kill rule has been an established part of his mythos for many decades, dating back to the 1940s. Yet, there is always controversy surrounding his unwillingness to kill. The no-killing policy can be seen across a plethora of heroes in the Bat-family, such as Nightwing and Robin, as well as members of the Justice League, like Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Green Lantern. Many popular Batman adaptations tackle the no-kill rule in interesting ways, such as the DCAU Animated series, the Batman Arkham games, and The Dark Knight trilogy. DC Comics have always shone a light on Batman's strong moral code when choosing not to kill villains like the Joker, which has spawned interesting stories like "The Killing Joke" and "Under the Red Hood." The DCEU and Zack Snyder bastardize the Batman mythos by making him break his one rule in a very disingenuous manner. Hopefully, in James Gunn's DCU, we can finally get a comic-accurate Batman.

I feel like the reason Batman gets the heat for the no-kill rule is because of the fact he actually gets criticised for it in-universe by people like Jason Todd, unlike other non-killing superheroes like Spider-Man or Superman, who never really get flak for it in-universe.

One thing that i have always wondered how does a cop in Gotham not just "accidentally" shoot the joker.

Punisher HIMSELF doesn't consider himself a role model. When some cops call him their "hero" he tells them to try imitating Captain America instead! Punisher KNOWS he's broken, but his holy crusade against organized crime is all he has left.

The issue mainly stems from how authors tackle WHY he doesn't kill. They often paint it as a slippery slope fallacy, saying that Batman wouldn't be able to stop himself from killing. And the reason why people hate this so much is because it's a terrible reason for Batman not to kill.

Batman’s no-kill rule isn't a problem with his character. It's a problem with modern storytelling. No matter what Bats does with the Joker, the status quo has to remain true. That's what makes Invincible so refreshing, the stories are allowed to progress

I don’t hate Batman’s no kill rule. I hate Gotham’s justice system that won’t execute the criminals he brings in.

people have an issue with the no kill rule because writers have to keep moving the goalposts in terms of what his villains can do to make interesting stories. It was completely acceptable when the worst that Joker ever did was throw Jello at buildings and put whoopie cushions on the chairs of city officials on live tv; now he's straight up butchering schools of children. Of course audiences will have a problem with it, but thats on the fault of the writers, not the long-standing characters and stories

Also the thing with punisher is he doesn't want anyone to do what he does. When cops start using his symbol out on patrol as a way to show they support his methods, he confronts them and makes them stop because they should be a better example to the citizens

I think people don't realize that they actually have a problem with how writers implement the rule, and not so much the rule itself.

If Batman breaks his 'No Kill Rule'. That should be his last day as Batman. Just like Batman Beyond!

Snyder said “That’s Batman” like he didn’t create an entirely new character in that moment from pure fan fiction.

It makes me mad watching Snyder doing that interview talking about Batman. He wanted to make Batman a horrible person. Oh he's a drunk, he kills people. He wanted a punisher. Batman and Superman, Spiderman too are good representations of what we should strive to be. But no Snyder and others don't want that. They want gritty heroes in with ugly personas

There’s a long Reddit post called “Why Batman refuses to kill - an exploration” on the many reasons why Batman doesn’t kill.

I think the big reason why the Batman no-kill catches so much shit has a lot to do with the writers. They have no idea of how to make his villains interesting without them killing people, apparently forgetting that Batman is a detective and you can pretty much do anything under that umbrella. Have him deal with a villain that deals in blackmail, or a thief, or anything but a damn serial killer.

Snyder is the kind to hear "The Virgin Mary" and say "No. She had trains ran on her left and right and God just happened to get in there. Jesus was a fluke and has to live with that.".

Okay, but him saving joker to the point of fighting the Punisher and Jason so Joker can escape is absolute bullshit. I don’t mind Spider-man’s no kill rule, because he does make exceptions for the worst of the worst. Meanwhile, Batman actively DEFENDS the worst of the worst and fights those that would bring them to Justice to protect them. Him fighting Jason for killing Penguin when Jason was trying to save Bizarro and Artemis was the most braindead thing ever and truly cemented my hatred for how a lot of writers write modern Batman.

Also alot of people dont read comics and dont realize that batman have almost lost control a few times. Right after Jason died, batman LEGIT said screw the no-kill rule and was gonna end joker once and for all. He couldn't do it not because of morals but only because superman stopped him since killing joker would start WW3.
