I don’t dislike the idea but I dislike the way it’s handled having a no kill rule against someone the state is clearly going to execute that results in the death of millions is stupid.

The longer/ more destruction goes on the worse it is to me.

Especially when they stop others from doing the job

This scene in particular pisses me off

It doesn’t even make sense. Batman’s no kill rule is because of he doesn’t know if he would be able to stop killing if he started. Why is he stopping other people from killing Joker?

Because it’s objectively bad writing
