It's more a fault on the city of Gotham than Batman.

people often bring this up, and i always want to ask why it is batman's responsibility to kill these people?

he catches them, and hands them over to the authorities. THEY should be executing them.

They SHOULD be, but a vigilante steps in when the system fails. If the status quo is not producing satisfactory results, then he should change his approach. Otherwise he might as well just be a civil servant. (Just playing devil's advocate; I don't necessarily believe this.)

I mean yes, objectively, but how many people might die if Batman were to lose his humanity? You don't want him turning into Black Noir

Way more

I never really appreciated the whole no-kill rule for most heroes

I mean doing your best to not kill anyone is great and all but at a certain point you gotta think about all the innocent lives being lost

He isn't obligated too, but he should want to because it will clearly be a better result.

Batman would've saved way more lives if he'd just killed bad guys. His code is stupid anyways. It's like the analogy Joe Rogan (iirc) had about how pornstars try to delude themselves that they aren't damaged because they have one weird thing won't do. Anyone that dies after Batman apprehends the perp is at least partly his fault, with the justice system being the bulk of the problem.

The villains are valuable IPs. That and the fact that Batman is in kids shows a lot, and it worked into his character because you can't kill people on a kid's show.

The "Batman would go crazy" is a copout written in afterward. Realistically he's a smart guy and he would know where to draw the line, but it's also kind of a cool OCD aspect of him that gives him more depth. Plus, if he did kill people, his whole identity would change because he would have to use guns.

The real bad writing here is that Batman's efforts are never acknowledged as improving the city, and they don't keep the villains in long enough. It's always "on to the next day and Joker broke out again", and it feels sad because it seems like Batman did nothing.

The best versions of Batman are when he has no excuse, he's just afraid of killing people. Like Arkham, when Ras was proud of him for ending his life. It only makes sense that the most compassionate people would have a phobia of killing.

The problem isn't that Batman doesn't kill, because he's a vigilante and killing would scare the public and government into thinking they don't have control, it's that the government refuses to sentence supervillains that have killed hundreds or more to anything except long stays at jails or asylums that have had a 0% success rate at preventing escape by said supervillains.

So yes, lots of people die because the world of DC makes extremely illogical decisions so they can keep reusing the same villains in stories.

This, although it's really more a matter that some of them should be more securely contained. There are only a few, like Joker, who pose enough of a continuing danger to society that they should be executed. Most of Batman's rogues gallery is nowhere near as bad as the Joker.

Punisher?

He could take over the world. Punisher is nothing to him.

The no-kill rule in general was written in after years of Batman having no problem killing.

Hence why I said "more extreme"

If you have criminals with super powers that apparently cannot be contained and will kill again then yes you should.
