Bruce Wayne, who witnessed the murder of his billionaire parents as a child, swore to avenge their deaths. He trained extensively to achieve mental and physical perfection, mastering martial arts, detective skills, and criminal psychology. Costumed as a bat to prey on the fears of criminals, and utilizing a high-tech arsenal, he became the legendary Batman.
So we all know Batman doesn't kill, wheras in the older movies (batman to batman and robin) he seems to have no problem with it, I mean, in Batman Returns, he puts dynamite down one of The Penguins goons' trousers, then shoves him down a manhole, it's all very funny, but is it there for a reason or is it just not a very informed script? (By the way, i'm not hating on the batman films, I actually love them! I rather liked batman forever, despite what some people say, and batman and robin was a little bit stupid, but it was funny and enjoyable...)
I'm willing to think those kills were nothing more than writer slip ups and errors they got a couple of other things wrong to. The people of the website Batman-on-Film actually talks about it in one of their podcasts and say how they think it was just the writers not thinking about what they wrote.
Tim Burton is quoted as saying that he has never read a comic book and anyone that knows him will tell you that he never would. (or something similar, watch the video for the exact quote) WARNING: video includes course language.
