Batman’s belief that life is sacred is one of the defining aspects of the character, and his successor in Batman Beyond takes the rule further by applying it to artificial intelligence.
While many superheroes adhere to a set of morals, few are as memorable and absolute as Batman’s rule disallowing himself from taking lives and as successor Batman Beyond actually took that one step further. This one rule is often a key component of most iterations of Batman, and is often a non-negotiable condition when the Caped Crusader teams up with other heroes or villains. While Bruce Wayne’s rule is infamously rigid, Terry McGinnis has interpreted Batman’s rule in an even stricter way.
In Batman Beyond: Wake by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, and Max Dunbar, Bruce Wayne has died in Terry McGinnnis’ arms. Slain by an unknown assailant, the Caped Crusader says a final, heart-wrenching goodbye to his protégé, spurring on the young man to track down the killer.
Batman’s one rule is to never take a life, and more often than not that means human life. Batman, in most cases, will refuse to take actions that could lead to the death of a person, and at times goes comically out of his way to save villains. Recently, readers can see the limits of Bruce’s rule. For instance, the original Batman has no problem slaying vampires because they are undead, and Bruce has destroyed several artificial intelligences as Batman.
Most superheroes are defined by their rules and creeds, and few are as famous as Batman’s rule sanctifying life. While Bruce interprets his rule strictly, his Batman Beyond successor Terry McGinnis takes the rule further by seemingly extending it to artificial life-forms.
