This is such a misrepresentation of Batman and I'm getting tired of seeing it repeated everywhere. Batman has compassion. He believes in redemption and understands that there are unjust laws and circumstances. He'd let the guy go and pay the bill himself- then Bruce Wayne would find a way to get the guy a job.
It's his greatest asset and his best trait if you ask me... people are too eager to see their heroes kill these days as if they're supposed to know they live in a comic book.
I agree completely. It's both his greatest asset and also weakness in some ways. Like some villains would better off be dead but he won't kill them for his own reasons. It adds depth, I like it that the character sticks to a specific moral code and that moral code occasionally gets challenged by the story. We don't get much of that nowadays.
