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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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?

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.

We're pretty certain Dick STILL waxes.

When he isn't living on a fire escape and can get to the salon, anyway.

Altough, back in the earliest days of Batman, he wasn't averse to dropping villians off of fatal heights, into vats of acid, or forcing them to fall on their own blades.
While I'm trying very hard not to get sucked back in as a regular reader (time, $$$, and an-obsessive-tendency-towards-completism issues), I wallowing in the Bat-love around here. I became a fan because I liked re-runs of the silly show as a kid (yes, I'll admit it), but Bats became my favorite because his original debut story was the darkest comic I'd ever read up to that point, followed closely by the first appearence of the Joker. For years it was the darkest, outside of horror comics.
