Sumi: no to your first, well, not exactly, and I'd say yes to your second.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Sumi:
why he doesn't allow himself to kill the villains because he sees in himself the ability to be the most vile murderer of them all.
In other words, a Slayer is NOT a killer?

Umm, Teppy, am I wrong in thinking that Bats doesn't kill the evil doers? Or at least tries to not kill them? Which is why he has issues with Huntress?

Oh, I know -- but the similarity just struck me -- neither one wants to acknowledge the killer within. In Buffy's case, she gets around it by only killing demons, and when it's brought up that that's more of a grey issue than a black-and-white one, she gets profoundly uncomfortable. In Bats' case, he gets around looking at the killer within simply by an inviolate no-kill policy.
They aren't exactly alike, but similar enough that I thought "Heeeeey...."

Okay -- that makes sense to me. I was wondering whether what I had perceived as Bats having a no kill policy was more a no gun policy and that he felt free to kill villains by other mean.s

Nope. You interpreted correctly.
As Dick said, rule number one, we don't kill.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Rule number two, we wear tights.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
we wear tights
Unless we go with the freshly-waxed look; viz. Robin costumes 1 and 2.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So the Robin 1 and 2 costumes were worn while the wearer was old enough to need to wax? Very wrong.
Suddenly I want to see the older kid from Summerland as Robin. I don't know if it's because I'm sick and it has something to do with his depilation. Hope not.
