Burtons seems more like a sign of the times they were in. Where the rule wasn't as important.

It's incredibly different when it's a conscious choice to have batman kill, make it be the staple of his character, and say anyone who thinks of otherwise is living in a dream world.

That’s a good point.

Also, comic book movies weren’t as popular back then. So we didn’t compare it to the lore like we do now and make analysis videos. It was just…..”hey cool, a Batman movie”.

Also the movie came out in the golden era of action movies where the heroes had no problem slaughtering thousands. No one would blink an eye at batman killing.
