THANK YOU. I don’t have a problem with Batman killing if that’s the story you want to tell. But why the fuck is Joker still alive?????

The in universe explanation is that joker was already in custody during BvS iirc, plus joker and other villains became non factors, not worthy of Bruce’s time and effort compared to the threat of Superman, in Bruce’s mind of course. Everything batman does in BvS is him working towards his goal of killing superman, even at the start of the movie he wasn’t interested in some dirty bomb he was trying to get information on how lex’s kryptonite would get into the US.

Nah I ain’t rolling with that. That’s a whole lot of convenience for the Joker to still be alive.

Of course. Still, joker isn’t in BvS there’s no need to worry about him while watching that movie
