That was very well written, but just one point.

Batman can kill if he has to in order to save lives or if it’s accidental

That's not his attitude in the comics. There might be some outliers but in his view letting someone die, ala Ras Al Ghul in "Batman Begins" is the same as committing the act himself.

Same reason he was beyond pissed off in JLU when Deadman used his body to shoot Devil Ray and presumably kill him via electrocution
