Surely it isn't all that bad if he just lets someone kill him and turn the other cheek

Compared to all the people he is basically responsible for killing by letting him live

Because he knows deep down he's just as crazy as the Joker, and he has a subconscious compulsion to see him through to reform so he can believe it's possible for him to do so as well.

At least that's the best excuse I've seen outside of "he sells too many comics"

Plot wise: Batman occasionally frees the Joker just so that he can take him down again. Its a sick fetish.

What's wrong with a cop killing a criminal in self-defense? Batman's has a no kill rule because it would be too easy considering how much he has trained.

Because Batman is barely different from the crooks he takes down and he knows it

If he falls to the level of executioner and murders people then he'll go down the rabbit hole and just become one of the crooks

I'm of the idea that if Bruce Wayne knowingly/ willingly takes one life, he'll kill them all. He'll be the new head of the demon. He'll be solo Justice Lords Batman.

However I am not of the idea that he should ever resuscitate The Joker.

The Joker has canonical plot armor. It's officially part of the story that you can't kill him.

Movies really don't count. Neither do non canonical one offs. Only person I can think of that he killed was Darkseid

Batman is the joker. After a joker is killed, the batman that kills him turns into him until the next batman kills him.

A vicious, merciless cycle.

I think I know this one. Joker's Last Laugh, IIRC. Basically, Robin (Tim Drake) got pulled underwater by Killer Croc, Nightwing dove in after them and later found a pile of bones with Robin's costume draped over them. Thinking he's been eaten, he continues on to face Joker, and Joker taunts him about it, and he beats Joker to within an inch of his life. Joker's in limbo, speaking to God and demanding a lawyer, then Batman gets there and resuscitates him.

If comic books weren't an infinitely long it really wouldn't be that much of an issue.

Like if Batman aged like a normal person how many times would Joker escape Arkham. He'd probably be in for 1-2 years before Harley busted him out for example.

They should count. It's not like comic books are consistent anyway. And he's definitely killed in some comics without becoming a raging psychopath afterwards.

Early Batman. Before his no killing rule even became a thing. Come on dude, know your comics. Comics are as consistent as what they dictate as canon. His no killing rule is a damn near concrete attribute. Fuck Darkseid.
