The problem is that they live in a comic book world with bad joke-useless human institutions where a man with no superpowers leaves a maximum security security whenever he wants to and kilsl again - why dont they keep him drugged and down at all times? is it his immunity to poisons?Batman should make his own prison for his looney toons anyway. Not killing is understandable, but always giving them up to the legal authorities that cant handle is just stupidity at this point, vigilantism is also illegal to begin with, so kidnapping them isnt a stretch
Batman has killed aliens and non-humans. Batman doesnt give a shit about the law he breaks it all the time. Its a bullshit moral code.
