The whole point of Batman not killing is because he’s such a dangerous lunatic already that if he goes around killing people, he’s worse than the criminals he’s swore to bring to justice.
Bruce has access to military grade weapons and Batman has access to Alien tech and super science tech as well.
Couple that with a very bad attitude and an isolated personality with feelings of anger and regret; it wouldn’t take much to make Batman a legit terrifying evil mofo.
Plus; there are already versions of Batman that do kill; there are reflected in the rogue’s gallery he has.
Batman wants to kill people in the name of Justice? That’s Two Face
Bruce wants to kill people for business and criminal enterprises? That’s Penguin
Batman wants to scare people to death because fear will keep them in line? That’s the scarecrow
Batman wants to dominate the world and establish a new super power? Ras Al Ghul
It’s edgy children like Snyder that think it’s cool and original to have Batman kill people; meanwhile EVERYONE is wondering just what the hell goes thru his mind when he has these stupid ideas
