It's Batman's thing. He doesn't kill people, ever, except in that movie, and some of the New 52 novels that take place in alternate realities.
Wonder Woman has no problem killing, neither does Superman, especially enemy soldiers.

I think the big difference is with intent. Superman and Batman both kill or cause the death of many people, especially in fights with collateral damage. That was the whole point of Superman v Batman, since Supes was unintentionally the cause of Manahatten's destruction. Batman has been responsible for the same types of things, but then if you look at Injustice, Superman gets completely unhinged because of Lois' death (when she gets pregnant) at his own hands under the influence of the Joker, whom he kills out of revenge, and the realization that just elimination of his foes is a better alternative than catch & release. The injustice story line is actually one of DC's best IPs and they put it in to animated format, which was wise because all of their live action is crappy. I highly suggest you read that if you have any interest in comics or just reading at all.

Yeah - these body counts seem mostly to be piled up in the comics.

I'm going to have to watch '89 Batman again to see all this killing. I've been of the mind that Batman and Superman both pretty much do everything in their power to not kill.

Just look at the Superman vs Zod in the last movie. SM did everything he could to not kill Zod, but Zod left him no choice. Kill Zod or Zod would just keep killing humans.

Korean dramas are huge in Japan.

Not sure if my wife is watching any or not. She has a bunch of stuff recorded for time shifting purposes on the DVR we have at her parent's house that is connected to a Slingbox.

@JaredBusch I'm currently on my watch-one-Naruto-episode-per-day in preparation for next week's DVD release. I'll get back to "House of Cards" on Wednesday, when she works.
