I'm scared away already. That sounds like a Godzilla movie.
To be fair, it was a shitty storyline in the comics even before it was completely ruined by the cartoon. However, there's something special in being able to take a bad idea and make it a hundred times worse.

>Batman murdering
...it is Batman we are talking about here...
It's not the 1930s or 40s any more. He's been pretty strongly against killing since his character was revamped over 50 years ago.

It's heavily implied. Actually, it's probably referencing the comic.
That's not how the comic ends. Gordon insists that Batman bring the Joker in alive, so he captures him. Afterward, the Joker makes a joke about two mental patients and a flashlight, prompting Batman to laugh.
The Killing Joke was a major canonical event, the aftermath of which transitioned Barbara Gordon from Batgirl to Oracle and opening the role to a succession of new Batgirls. The Joker obviously never died.
EDIT: Found two different sets of panels depicting the end of The Killing Joke where the coloring on the page is different
The brighter-colored panel one kinda looks like blood while the other doesn't. Given that I can't remember blood in the water, I would assume I read the second version which might have been from the TPB rather than the original comic event
The first is the original color. The second is recolored version done for the recent trade releases. ---
