Probably the most controversial one , honest thoughts on "No Kill Rule"? What are the most egrigious examples of it in your opinion? What media makes it work in your opinion?

Technically, any of their villains can be killed. The people of gotham and New york decide during trial, not to put them on death row. If you can capture someone without killing them, you should. That's how police are taught. It is not batmans job to kill the joker it is the justice systems job.

Honestly, Joker WOULD die in the real world. If necessary, there'd be a change in law to make it so "Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity" is no longer a valid defense. The guy has killed THOUSANDS to BILLIONS of people depending on which continuity you follow. Killing the Joker would be no different than putting a stake in a vampire: you're saving countless lives.

(I'm NOT a fan of heroes who kill, but comics have caused their own problem in this area when they have villains that go around committing mass murder and then just get put in jail. No one is going to expect Batman to murder a Joker who robs banks with laughing gas. When he's depopulating small countries it becomes ridiculous to think he's going to be allowed to survive.)

That is another thing that basically doesn't happen in real life. In most cases you can't even argue for the affirmative defense of mental defect unless the judge specifically allows it. And it almost never works.

And it almost never works.

Plus: When it works, it tends to result in the defendant being incarcerated on mental grounds without end date, because they're considered a danger to the rest of society.
