[Batman] Does Batman deserve blame for the people Joker has killed due to his refusal to kill Joker?
gpt
No.

We're used to thinking of Batman as a god, or at least someone with a higher moral responsibility. But that's because he's a protagonist, he's a superhero.

The reality- he's just another person. 

You know who else could have killed the Joker? The State. Any police officer. Any Arkham employee. Any human being with the opportunity to.

Batman doesn't bear responsibility for Joker's actions, any more than he does if he captures a mugger, and that mugger mugs again.
