I'm not going to beat around the bush, I don't like Marvel or DC comics, so I haven't actually read a ton of them and my image of this issue is largely based on hearsay and TV/movies. Having this periphery knowledge of these characters and story lines, I always question why the heroes don't just take care of the villains once and for all. I understand the need to continue the story from the writing perspective and I understand the whole "not wanting to become a killer" thing, but it seems like they're letting way more people die by not just killing these villains.
Let's take Batman, the answer I've repeatedly been given as to why he doesn't kill is because he doesn't want anyone to go through the feeling of loneliness that he did when his parents died. Sure, that makes sense, but when the Joker or Penguin go around blowing stuff up and killing random innocents, then isn't it directly Batman's fault for letting those people continue to break out of prison and go on killing sprees?
Like I said, I understand why it happens from the view of having to continue writing a story, but I have never been able to understand why more people don't take issue with it. Why is it not a major sticking point for people? Do they do a better job of explaining everything in the actual comics? Do they not actually kill many people? What? Why don't they just have super power people be the jailers?
So, why don't you, the comic book fan, take issue with the constant lack of business being taken care of?
Also, obviously I'm not talking about characters like Punisher or Foolkiller.
