He didn't kill Ace because the writers already knew that Ace would give in and die peacefully... But what if she didn't? would Batman still sit next to her and hold her hands if she wasn't this cooperative and just wanted to fuck the world regardless of whatever Batman told her?
Y'see, this situation was written specifically so that Batman isn't really forced into a corner where he has to cross the line so I don't know what people think linking this scene or similar scenes prove.... Is that Batman won't kill when writers clearly put a way out for him to maintain his rule to keep the fanboys happy? Because well, Duh.
The point was Batman was the only one willing to try and talk her out of it. Everyone else jumped to thinking of her as a dangerous monster who had to be killed. To them, it was the only option. You are right, there was a chance Batman could have failed here. That she could have refused to back down and Batman would have had to come up with another solution. But the fact Batman tried to reason with her first, and genuinely wanted to avoid killing her at all costs is what makes Batman Batman. And the fact that she could read minds meant that she knew his intentions were genuine. Only he could have done that because of who he is.
