    The Importance of Batman’s No-Kill Rule

    The fact that I have to explain this at all makes me want to scream. Batman has had a sort of identity crises recently, at least in the eyes of the fan. There are those who firmly believe in the Batman of old; the cold, distant, but kind vigilante who refuses to cross certain lines.…
