In universe, is there any reason no ones killed the Joker or any of the other Batman Villains? Like I get why Superman or Batman wouldn't but no one is willing to kill them?

And do what?

Beat me up? Take me to jail, or Arkham?

Oh, nooooooo.

If Bruce can't kill his enemies, then he won't do anything to an innocent person defending themselves from a homicidal (sometimes genocidal) maniac.

He doesn't even answer, just orders...so yeah I think Bats knows he's crippeling people, he just doesn't fucking care.

Anyone with the balls to actually do it would be treated like a king by everyone. Well, except Batman.

You don't need to kill the joker to solve the problem but no one seems to be willing to do what needs to be done.

There were several assasination attempts on him but he always laughed them off.
He also dies a lot in self-contained stories but with capeshit being never-ending he is always brought back in the next run.
There is also the reason that if he died someone would take his place which is just complete bullshit.

People have tried to kill Joker many, many times
Morrison's run, probably THE SINGLE MOST READ BATMAN RUN OF ALL TIME after maybe Snyder's, literally begins with someone shooting the Joker

Asking why no one has succeeded is like asking why Batman always manages to escape death traps, and that's exactly what Morrison was saying with that sequence

It wouldn't even go that far. I doubt there's anybody who would make more then the token effort to prosecute him and good luck finding a jury that is unbiased against the Joker. It probably wouldn't even go to court because everyone knows that it would be a waste of time.

Wasn't the Batman who laughs because he got sprayed in the face or something? Just shoot him from a distance or drop something heavy on him or light him on fire.

he's saying the fucking joker makes him being alive a more acceptable outcome than him dying. because the joker will try to take the world with him if he dies.

Except for the one time Batman actually cleared Joker's name of a crime he didn't commit.

I don't know the context but based on what you said the two things are dfferent.
While clearing Joker of one crime doesn't change anything in his sentecing, it would help catching another criminal.

It does though, by virtue of being exculpated of the crime they are charged of. A flaw of the due diligence of the court is that when you're on trial, you're only on trial for crimes you're charged with. If you stole money and were charged with theft, then information comes out that you also killed someone, you can't be tried for murder in your trial for theft.

I really hate this interpretation. Bruce obviously has a code against killing, and applies that to his immediate allies (ie Jason), but there's no reason he would explicitly protect his villains from being killed anymore than anyone else. Pages like this come from a surface level understanding of his no killing rule.
