Why Batman Can’t Kill People

 

Batman doesn’t kill criminals, even the dangerous ones like Joker. Many people think this is strange, but it is actually part of his personal rule.

After losing his parents, Batman decided that he would never take a life. He believes that if he starts killing criminals, he will become like them. For him, that is the real loss.

Batman also believes that many criminals are not completely evil. Some of them are shaped by society, pain, or bad situations. So instead of killing them, he tries to stop them and send them to justice.

Even Joker is included in this idea. Batman knows Joker is extremely dangerous, but he still refuses to kill him. Because once he breaks his rule, he may never stop.

So in the end, Batman’s rule is not about saving criminals,  it is about saving himself from becoming something darker.
