If Batman sees Deathstroke trying to kill the Joker, does he have a moral obligation to try and stop him
Quinneapolis
or is he kosher to sit and watch while his nemesis is murdered
Beans
I think in a crossover where the punisher tried to kill joker batman stopped him
Beans
so probably the same

You know, I never thought about this but

in Batman Begins, Bruce is like "I don't have to save you" to Ra'a Al Ghul
Niamh Vibes
and then sure does a lot of Joker saving in Dark Knight

This is why there's only one hero we can really rely on: Bob Carrigan, CEO of Audible, who WILL kill the Joker
Master Chieve
Batman Begins was hella stupid
Master Chieve
okay not HELLA stupid but like
Master Chieve
that bit
Master Chieve
was dumb

I vaguely remember complaints about the "I don't have to save you" thing in Batman Begins
~Lamiamon~
it depends on the version of Batman

Fun fact: joker was originally only going to appear in a single issue and Batman was scripted to kill him (because Batman killed people all the time in his first couple years)
A Grinning DM
But the editor thought it’d be a waste of too good of a character design and had the writer change the end
oh i'm scary
the dumber thing about "I don't have to save you" is like
oh i'm scary
that doesn't count as not killing him
oh i'm scary
it would if the cause of his death was unforeseen to you
oh i'm scary
but you went to GREAT LENGTHS to crash this train, Bruce

the first rule of Batman is that Batman may not kill the Joker, nor may he by inaction allow the Joker to die
oh i'm scary
second rule of Batman: do NOT. TALK. about Fight Club
Rama
The funny thing is Movie Batman kills people all the fucking time
Rama
Including the Joker, in Burtonman
oh i'm scary
not killing people just isn't even vaguely a thing in the Burton movies
kaylin
I'm pretty sure that Batman has revived the Joker at least once
kaylin
I think so that Nightwing wouldn't feel bad for having murdered him or something
