I used to argue that Batman should kill the Joker. Now I argue that if Batman doesn't kill the Joker, there's no reason there needs to be a Batman at all. If the court system can be trusted to sentence criminals, why can't Jim Gordon be trusted to arrest them? Or conversely, if the police aren't equipped to handle supervillains, what makes the court system any more equipped to deal with them?

In retrospect, maybe the whole "super registration act" deal has a point to it. If superheroes are ultimately just an extension of the law, acting to fulfill the will of the law and bring criminals into the court system, why not officialize it and make superheroes another type of cop? It's not like it could make the concept of a superhero any more fascist than it already is.

(Mind you, the only superhero story I'm currently following is Boku no Hero Academia. That's a setting where super registration has won so thoroughly and spectacularly that even using superpowers in self-defense will get you arrested, and it looks like a large part of the story will be about all the ways in which this system has failed and created even more villains.)

I see your point in a sense about Batman. But the argument falls apart when you consider that Jim Gordon and Dick Grayson have both tried to kill Joker through crime of passion and Btaman saved his life both times and when the Joker was put on trial another time, Batman went out of his way to prove his innocence. Gotham is corrupt and that's the point but there's a point where it reaches justifiable homicide levels. To quote Jason Todd: "it's not The Penguin or Scarecrow or Dent. It's just him."

Joker has filled mass graveyards at this point. If Batman doesn't want to kill him fine. But stop stopping others from doing the deed.
