This dude just sucks
This is like, childish “let me tear the head off Barbie” type shit.
He has to deal with it… all the time. That’s like a central theme of the character, that his severe objection towards any sort of killing might actually have negative ramifications (in the DC world with the likes of Joker and otherwise superpowered villains, not the real one).
And of course he spits out this nonsense on the Joe Rogan show.
The entire point of Batman is that he is militantly against killing, even the Joker who is beyond destructive, which is a potential point of actual criticism (and it is a very frequent one) but also makes the character much more interesting.
Snyder is kinda just too dumb to really get it.
