Yeah, the refusal to kill is the worst part about Batman. Like, it's cool that you have a moral code or whatever, but when you keep putting mass murderers like the Joker in a prison you know he's gonna escape from, you should probably think about your life choices. You kind of get why Jason Todd went a little nuts when Batman didn't kill the Joker after he brutally murdered a child that Batman dressed up and put in his way. Holy shit, just shoot the guy in the fuckin face, you know?

That's kind of the point. Bruce is just as mentally unwell as the villains he fights.

As Feathercrown said, most modern stories have Bruce aware that he's nuts. If he starts killing, then he doesn't stop killing and things go bad. He's essentially like on Murderers Anonymous and making sure to stay away from anything that could trigger him down an even darker road.

Yea... At a certain point, Batman becomes 100% culpable because he had a guaranteed end handed to him and didn't take it.

The dude plain solves Trolly problems incorrectly.
