>>118628033Well, clearly they're flawed rules if as a direct result of their execution thousands of innocent lives are dead. Imagine if the Justice League applied the no-kill rule to Darkseid. Or Anti-Monitor. Or Perpetua.
Fuck me, Batkek's only still alive because Bruce applied the no-kill rule to him too and left him locked up under the Hall of Justice and AS A DIRECT RESULT all the bullshit in Death Metal, the systematic destruction of the multiverse, is happening.
>>118628029Because anyone with a working brain would sit down and list numerous valid reasons to Batman about why the Joker deserves death. Shit in the main continuity he literally reduced the Legion of Doom into giggling victims with poison gas. The Joker is literally written to be competant enough to take down some of the most competant supervillains out there, there's no valid excuse about him being a street level criminal anymore than there is about Batman not pulling his weight on the League.
