Gotham City is plagued by the Joker's reign of terror, which has resulted in countless innocent lives lost. Despite repeated incarcerations, the Joker always escapes Arkham Asylum and resumes his destructive path, leaving Batman at a moral crossroads.
For years, Batman has adhered to a strict no-kill rule, rooted in his belief that taking a life would compromise his moral integrity and transform him into what he fights against. This principle stems from the trauma of witnessing his parents’ murder, which shaped his vow never to take a life, no matter how justified it may seem.
Beyond his moral code, Batman has cultivated an image as a symbol of justice and restraint, embodying hope in a city rife with corruption and violence. He believes that Gotham's salvation lies not in vengeance but in upholding justice and inspiring others to rise above the darkness. Being symbol not only his city but also to his fellow heroes such as Superman and Wonder Woman.
