But there are some characters who don’t kill, and putting them into situations where any reasonable person would have to kill seriously weakens their credibility as characters. Does it add anything to Batman’s character that he treats the Joker with kid gloves when his on-page body count is in the thousands? No, it just makes him silly. “You killed thousands of people and tried to start World War III by killing the president, but I’m going to make sure you get due process even though I’ve personally seen you escape from Arkham Asylum three times this month alone.” Don’t even get me started on Mr. Zsasz.
