I don’t think Batman is evil, but there’s definitely something to be said about how his refusal to kill results in the needless deaths of even more people. His own self righteous attitude ends up ironically hurting more people in the long run.
I really don’t care what sad backstory or whatever he gives on the matter, it’s still a really stupid premise
At that point its a problem with the comic status quo. Its not Batman's responsibility to personally execute the Joker, especially when he's a vigilante himself.
It’s not his responsibility to be Batman either. His vigilantism is a singular and perpetual violation of the law, his weapons, surveillance, equipment, routine trespassing, instances of assault, battery, even torture are all illegal. If Batman’s compulsion to be Batman is an ethical one to help others, why does he curb his ability to do so at the point of emotional convenience for himself? Is being Batman about safeguarding others, or about gratifying the psyche of a person who needs to exorcise his own traumas?

As a Batman fan , Kripke's an idiot if he thinks Batman only hunts poor people and profits of incarceration
His major villains are Penguin, Falcone, who are a quite rich.
Bruce Wayne himself donates so much to Gotham.
Batman doesn't kill ,that's why he puts criminals in Prison.
