My interpretation is that if he did it once, he'd never stop and just kill all criminals.

Idk why fans of those characters seem to think others don't "get" their heroes. Nah, we get it. We just think it's neurodivergentally r-slurred, not interesting.

Your interpretation is the official version in the comics.
Bruce Wayne is a traumatized individual who was still rich and smart enough to be successful but he has to lead a very specific lifestyle or else he will break down completely and lash out at the world.

I mean it's because it doesn't really make sense. That's why batman generally kills his villains in the movies and other adaptations. Like realistically you're not gonna let the joker go to prison or whatever, he's poisoned half of gotham, murdered thousands, etc. If the law worked half the villains'd just get the electric chair if I'm being honest.

Realistically the villains would just go to jail after one crime and stay there for 20 years or whatever the same as most violent criminals now, criminals in real life don't mastermind prison breaks and go on renewed killing sprees. If they did they wouldn't even need to be killed by Batman because they'd just get gunned down by the cops.

I think capeshit writers should just be honest that Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are just too OP to not have no kill rules

That might work better but it'd be kinda cheesy. But then it already is.

I always feel that:
-it wouldnt be fair to victims of other crimes to make exceptions, and i cant kill everyone
-im too powerful to go around killing people, if i have the power to take a harder but more moral option i'll do it
-i just dont enjoy killing
Would all be a better way to do no kill rules than saying youre so crazy youd kill people all the time if you did it once. At that point being a superhero is unfeasible as a lifestyle if youre on the razors edge that often

Comics are the stupidest and most meaningless medium.

It is painfully obvious that no one dies so they sell more shit. If a character shows up once and dies for good, how will you sell toys of them to children and failed men?

You are way overestimating comic books.
They just bring them back either with a necromancer, time travel, or a parallel universe.

That's just "no one dies", but instead of heroes having a self-imposed rule about killing, the writers simply decide to sacrifice any sense of stakes.

I actually like the no kill rule. I know some 4chuds and dramatards will go
Yeah he'd be so much more interesting to have some guy kill people in justice and totally isn't much less interesting than seeing the moral complication and heroic example of him refusing to kill people. Especially considering that different versions of him are much more sympathetic to villains, such as the animated series. Would it have been more
if he just shot
in the face?
Only to soulless cynics does the defilement of an iconic heroes morals and nature seem like a great idea

A dead man is beloved, a paralyzed man is cast onto the streets by his former family after gradually becoming too great a burden. Others kill the body, Batman kills the soul.

I mean the "actual" reason is that if superheroes existed they'd be an arm of or seen as being part of law enforcement i.e. the executive. The actual judgement of crimes and dealing of punishment would be, as is now, left to the courts as you wouldn't want people murking criminals extralegally no matter how justified. The real question is why is the Joker never executed for his crimes by the courts or, presuming that the death penalty is outlawed where Gotham is, why has no one cleaned him out ala Lee Harvey Oswald while in custody?

Irl it's technically considered cruel and unusual to execute the mentality ill. And there are lots of people we deem to ill for trial even. Back when my wife was still in school she had to do rounds in a asylum that housed murders and shit, basically none had even had a trial. If they were ever deemed mentally competent they'd then finally go to trial.
So I'm guessing in the Batman universe the Joker probably hasn't actually even been convicted of anything.

Have they considered graduating onto more adult forms of entertainment?*
*no, not porn + they're already watching that

I really don't think there's really a whole lot of
mature 
entertainment. It's usually just children's entertainment but with blood, swearing, and sexual innuendo 
Imo the truly mature stuff is primarily nonfiction. Nothing wrong with fiction but outside of some old movies you're not going to find a lot of R-rated fiction that isn't just as childish as comics.
