[Batman] What if Blackgate, Arkham Asylum, and other Gotham penitentiaries began enforcing the death penalty? Would Batman still try to apprehend criminals on the same side as the GCPD?

Yes.

Gotham does, in fact, support the death penalty. In fact, they still use the electric chair. And Batman has no problem with criminals being killed, as long as it's done LEGALLY. Tried by a jury of their peers, etc. The Joker almost got the chair once, when a court found him competent enough to be executed. However, Batman stepped in and proved that he was framed, halting the Joker's execution at the very last second.

As a note: Arkham Asylum cannot enforce the death penalty as they are a mental institution and not a proper prison.
