He, of course, is a firm believer in second chances and only using the appropriate amount of force, but his "no killing" rule is less about the ethical ramifications than it is about corruption. "If killing the Joker is justifiable today, who would it be justifiable to kill tomorrow?" He generally holds anyone in a position of power or authority to this same high standard. Killing is<em>never</em>an option. Especially for the Justice League. Not because it's wrong, but because it's crosses that final line—the one you can never<em>uncross.</em>It's the one thing that separates them from the bad guys, and if heroes around the world started killing, the public would only grow more fearful.<br/><br/>Not to mention, heroes generally believe in fair trial. Kind of hard to do that when the suspect isn't breathing.<br/><br/>Long story short, there's an old quote, falsely attributed to Batman, but only because it's something you'd expect him to say: "If you kill a killer, the number of killers in the world remains the same."<br/><br/><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Also, this:</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efub89RMgvQ</div></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=276886.msg13622612#msg13622612">Quote from: keyotess on 23-10-2017, 23:17:21</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Backdraft, I admire your Meme-fu! :)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Thanks!  ;D
