    Why hasn’t the Gotham justice system executed him then? Why not put the onus of them? Or any GCPD cop turning off his bodycam to shoot someone who deserves it for once?

    Batman generally doesn’t kill because, in all the interesting comics, he realizes that he is mentally unwell and, if he starts down that route, he won’t know where he ends up. That’s why there are so many stories of plans Batman made to stop himself (generally be suborned by someone else and putting him and others in immediate danger). He’s a nutcase with a lot of money who’s afraid of himself but trying to do the right thing.

    Your stance only holds any water when the villains are literally unable to be physically managed by anyone except one of these demigods.

      That’s my whole fuckin point.

      These are exactly the people that should be straight up killed.

      They can’t be contained. They can’t be reasoned with. They can’t be controlled.

      They just kill and kill and kill and kill and kill.

      The only way to stop them is to kill them. It’s that simple.

          Imo it doesn’t matter whether or not he can be redeemed. He’s killed so many people that his life is forfeit

          That’d be like saying Hitler or Stalin were worth keeping around because their multiverse counterpart was able to do good.
