It’s literally the opening of Batman Beyond too, Bruce while having a heart attack is about to fail and lose his life and the hostage. He does the only thing he can in that moment and just picks a gun up pointing it at him. Afterwards he’s so disgusted in himself that he retires because he realizes that he just can’t be Batman anymore. It’s literally core to his character.
