Batman famously only has one rule - ‘ no violent death ’ - and it ’s a linguistic rule that some   Batman fans take more seriously than others . Some think there ’s little conflict between drink down a man and breaking nearly every ivory in his physical structure , whereas others think it’sthe definitive line Batman does n’t crossthat keeps him from being no different to the thug who killed his parent .

Since 1989 , there have been seven dissimilar solo movies and five   unlike actors   fill in the cape and cowling , admit the ultra - violent Bat - Fleck ( short for Ben Affleck from theDC Extended Universe ) . With all those different takes on the cap crusader , there have been increasingly more injustices made by the “ vigilance man ” that have gone against his one rule , and they ’ve just been swept under   the carpeting .

The Joker’s Goons (Batman)

As the Batmobile is stationed at one Joker ’s dependable houses , the Joker ’s goon assume that Batman is sit down tight inside the ridiculously long railroad car . The strong-armer commence shooting at the body of the fomite ( as if that would even do anything ) but as they are distracted , a metal bomb rolls out from the roulette wheel and by the tough ’ foot .

The bomb explode , not only killing the goons , but blowing the whole area to smithereens . And somehow , the Batmobile twit out without a dough . uncalled-for to say , there were no survivor .

The Joker (Batman)

One of thethings audiences did n’t fuck about Jack Nicholson ’s Jokeris that he work the manner people looked at the the character today . Not only that , but he started a trend of Batman ’s villains dying from a really great crepuscule .

But it was n’t just a slip that led Nicholson ’s   Joker to falling from the top of that gothic , very Burton - esque cathedral . Instead , Batman used his grappling hook to   tie him to the church ’s gargoyle and make him plummet to his death . This , of course , after Joker admits that he could " vote out himself " because he ’s so darn singular .

The Fire Eater (Batman Returns)

Reintroducing Batman to audience a couple of class removed from its cinematic harbinger showed that Batman had not only double down on the murders in the years since , but he is outright being creative with it !

When Batman   jumps back in to the Batmobile after battle   all of the Penguin ’s thugs , an unfortunate stray blast eater is in the incorrect spot at the wrong prison term , as the smoke from the exhaust completely set the fire feeder alight . It ’s an ironic death , sure , but what was a genus Circus pyro creative person going to do against a Batmobile anyway ?   Was this really necessary , Bats ?

The Tattooed Strongman (Batman Returns)

As part of the Red Triangle Circus mob , the overpowering , tattoo - covered meathead was the only affair digest in between Batman and Penguin during their initial approach on Gotham City . The circus strongman stood confidently in front of Batman ,   only for the Dark Knight to   casually thrust three sticks of dynamite into his waistline before kick him down a nearby manhole where he pronto explodes .

What makes the execution inBatman Returnsmore psychopathologic and grimly hilarious is that Batman ’s living is never even in risk ; he just require to hit multitude !

Two-Face (Batman Forever)

Batman was evenhandedly well acquit throughoutBatman Foreverand rarely lay   a fingerbreadth on anyone , but that may have been the conclusion of the studio head   afterBatman Returns’unmarketable violence . However ,   as Batman is basically a sequent killer at this stage , somebody ’s getting murdered . Tommy Lee Jones ' Two - Face is a villainwe wishing come out in the Tim Burton movies , and his meter   inForeverwill always be remember for having the most moronic death in the series .

bear on a ledge with Batman , Robin and Dr. Meridian at point , Two - Face toss his coin to see if he should pull the induction . Batman foils the scoundrel with a prank , simply   throwing   coins at him . Two - Face tries to bewitch one of them , but he loses his balance and fall hundreds of feet to his death . Why Batman had a crew of coins in the first place and where he kept them is a mystery for the years .

The League Of Shadows (Batman Begins)

Rebooting the series from the basis up , Christopher Nolan did   a great Book of Job of endeavor to mash the Caped Crusader in realism , giving   a plausible explanation   for the   Batmobile and cracking gadgets , which is one of the ways why it’sthe theatre director ’s most underrated movie . But there are some Batman tropes that Nolan just could n’t shake off . One , in particular , is Batman ’s habit of accidentally murdering people .

After complete his training with The League Of Shadows , Bruce Wayne is ask to behead a thief as the terminal rite of passage . Bruce decline since he believe that this   brutal mannikin of justice is n’t proper .   And so , fighting in the name of   the sanctity of animation , he   commence a fervidness that kill most of the League and even the man he refused to execute . full job , Bruce .

Ra’s Al Ghul (Batman Begins)

In the climax ofBatman Begins , after Batman and Ra ’s faced off for the net time and Batman has try that he is last aware of his surroundings , Ra ’s   ( played by Liam Neeson , one of the beston - screen versions of Ra ’s Al Ghul)is pin down on a derail tramcar and gets crush .

Batman famously says “ I ’m not croak to kill you , but I do n’t have to deliver you ” before glide out of the tram and go out Ra ’s to his doom .   Why yes Bruce , youdidkill him ; that is the exact definition of manslaughter .

Two-Face (The Dark Knight)

After a ton of high - octane natural process sequences piss enjoyment of practical effect – which is one of themost usual element of a Christopher Nolan movie– it all comes down to the concluding hushed scene between Two - Face , Batman , and Jim Gordon ’s family .

Two - Face point the gun at   the Commissioner ’s kin , but before he can scoot , he gets tackled by Batman . He then , as per dealership tradition , shine   down several stories to his last . Compared to every other death here , though , Two - Face ’s descent was more of an inevitable disaster than   borderline sadism on Batman ’s part .

Everyone In The Warehouse (Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice)

In the backend ofBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justice , after the two heroes   have become undecomposed pals because their momma divvy up the same name , Batman searches for   Martha Kent and lift up in a warehouse full of Lex Luthor ’s henchmen .

If it was n’t for the dark lightning , watcher might have been capable to see Batman drooling with excitement at   the prospect of wanton murder . The armed combat showcased here is actually one of thethings director Zack Snyder pay off right about Batmanand the whole scenery is a joy to watch , but not one those guy wire is coming out of that storage warehouse alive .

Literally Everyone In Sight (Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice)

The most homicidal part ofBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justiceisn’t perpetuated by an unacceptable Lex Luthor or an ugly Doomsday , but Batman drifting around in his BatTank that literally has a political machine gun attached to the hood . Batman thinks he ’s playingGrand Theft Autoor something , as he ’s head the gun at anything he thinks will   break loose and/or bleed .

On top of that , the few poor criminals he decidesnotto killing   are brand with the Bat logo , which is known to be a death sentence when they enter jail anyway . trueness be assure , this is n’t really Batman ; it ’s The Punisher with a trust stock .
