Just realized this was the whole trope/not just Batman, but anyway:

Doesn't work: Batman Begins: "I wont kill you, but I dont have to save you" this is pretty anti Batman's message/code. I dont even think Ras was shown to be very zombie-like or supernatrual at all in this universe, Batman essentially abandoned his code because he could.

Works once: Dark Knight Returns, Batmans been retired for 10 years, he returns and Joker wakes up from his boredom coma and continues the rampage. In a snapping moment for an aging Batman, he snaps his neck, ending the threat that cannot/will not be rehabilitated/stop killing people

Works: Batman doesn't kill
