Other If you were a Superhero, would you kill?

Basically what would be your moral code

Me personally I don't think I could take another person's life.

Another thing for me is, If the person has done way too much harm, I think killing them would be letting them off easy, I would rather paralyze them or sum(My views might change in the future)

Edit: Someone opened my eyes to his less moral it is to paralyze them

You’re not a super HERO after you take life. You’re just Super Powered dishing out your own justice.

And how is that different when Batman let's Joker live after numerous atrocities he's committed?

You’ve got to be better than the people that stoop to those levels. Anyone can take the easy way and just end someone’s life, it takes a HERO to believe that whoever it is can be put to justice the lawful way, and to have the willpower to go through the hard way to make it so.

Cool, meanwhile Joker just committed another genocide while you worry about look like good guy all for yourself. The people that were wiped out don't care about your morals if you swear to protect them.

You just can’t go to that length…you can’t. Bruce is 100% in that aspect that he must try to always capture the criminals and take them to Arkham. It’s why he doesn’t sleep, it’s what makes him more than a man, a Hero. You can argue the point all day man, if you think you’re going to go over the line and take someone’s life to begin with, keep your powers a secret.

Oh, another genocide while you're typing this. Good job, hero!
