I can understand it to a degree with Batman, because he's made it so clear that if he doesn't have this hard limit, then he's damn certain he'd jump straight off the slippery slope; but that doesn't explain why he goes to such lengths to keep other people from killing the Joker.

[I mean, from a Doylist perspective, it's obviously because the writers are unadventurous and unwilling to take the risk of shooting The Actual Joker square in his smug little face, but w/e]

Yep, this. I can understand the reasoning from a Doylist perspective like you said, but then writers have a tough job rationalizing it in the narrative and that rarely works for me.

This is why I'm a Jason Todd fan.

Batman's whole no kill rule is honestly pulled apart when you use the joker as an example. As much as everyone shits on Jason Todd. He has a point. Just kill the joker. Or let other people kill him. Batman's insane need to keep the joker around is what makes him fucking nuts. He resuscitated him when Dick beat him to death and also got him off death row when he was framed for a crime. Just let him die. He must have filled a small country with dead people at this point.

Superman at least kills or does worse when he deems it necessary.

Likewise Wonder Woman gives no shits and breaks necks left and right.

Batman is just the outlier and he's so nuts people don't cross the kill rule because he will be on their ass with his messed up sense of morality.
