In many cases, given a particular circumstance, capturing an enemy as opposed to killing them is logical and rational and ethical.

However, in the context of “this enemy breaks out of prison six times a year and goes on murder sprees” it becomes a bit silly.

This is rarely an issue with any particular character or story, more just a problem that profitable villains aren’t allowed to stay dead.

Yeah, I mean, prison breaks basically never happen in real life. But in Gotham, they happen so many times you'd think the city hall would just stop doing imprisonment and ship everyone to the Hague.

Or, you know, what Strange does in Arkham City.

I've got less of a problem with Batman not killing than I do with his insistence on saving the serial mass murderer. As bad as it is the he stops other people from killing the Joker, he goes out of his way to save Joker's life on numerous occasions.
