Batman's "No kill code" is dumb.
1.He allows maniacs such as Joker to live and kill more and more innocent people.(And Joker is NOT a person that can be cured)
For example, in the Batman begins movie if Batman killed Ra's al Ghul in the beginning of the movie Ra's wouldn't be able to make a mess of the city in the end of the movie.(Which in the end of that movie he realized his mistake and allowed Ra's to die.)

2.He breaks the bones of his enemies , hit them very hard in the head and etc.But for some reason he never considers those as being as lethal as shooting them in the head.

3.He says things like "If I kill them, I become as worse as them." But in reality, if he really believed that he wouldn't use violence against his enemies.(Since using violence also corrupts a person.)

4.He also doesn't use guns since "guns kill people" but he could use non lethal guns or just injure people with guns instead of killing them.(It kinda feels like that he has some mental issues.)
By that mentality he also shouldn't use fists since fists can also kill people.

5.In the movies he always kills.(minus the comedy Batman aka Adam West and George Clooney.)

6.Due to this code his villains begin to fear him much less and do more crimes since they know that at worst possible situation if Batman gets them he doesn't kill them.

So, if he faces Darksied will he just "not kill him" and allow him to murder more people of earth ?

Yeah.

And he has mental disorders, too. Like pretty much everyone in his rogue list. For the record.

It was explained in the Under The Red Hood animated movie that... He wants to kill the joker but if he goes down that path he'll never come back and that it's too easy

To your point #5 - Tim Burton made the preceding films and they had popular toys. Tim Burton took the darker side to the character and explored that while the Joel Schumacher movies (especially Batman and Robin) was designed specifically with the toy market in mind. Merchandising the heck out of it deliberately. I even remember those toys being worse than the Batman 89 toys. Ironic really.

Batman '89 killed the Joker. (Not putting spoiler tags on 30 year old film.)

Bone breaks can heal and the "victim" has the chance of rehabilitation. Therefore Batman becomes the deterrent and the punishment to various degrees. I think that's why there are more stories where Batman doesn't kill than there are one's where he does.

However there is a Screen Rant [screenrant.com] article which lists times that Batman has killed people.

it's time you deserved a good bat woopin !

1st. Batmans/ bruce he's " doesn't kill code "is first of all Legit. (why you ask ? ) If you actually read the comics ( like me i'm a freak ), you notice enough batman doesn't kill and uses psychology to convince he's enemies to do good in the end before he must neutralize them . ( he offers them a choice ) that's up to the villain to decide .

2. According to the comics i have read Bruce has trained like practically every form of martial arts + knows a big deal about the human body ( Bruce tries even sick things on himself to gain more mental stabillity ), he has learned in old India from a woman how to deal with emotional pain and also how to access that pain for the greater good .

3. He knows alot about medical things to save people in the worst time he's can't get them to a hospital ( he improvises how to deal with a medical situation + succeeds in most every way to save a victim ) You can't blame batman for the life's he can't save he's just 1 man carrying a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ giant burden ( you see enough how many times batman blames himself for each death caused by the hands of villains or things he simply wasn't there for . )

4. Batman can kill people yes with 1 strike if he must ! but he chooses to break bones and teeth etc ..., it's to teach villains a lesson that there is actually something out there that should be feared ( vengeance ), and don't think when batman strikes,that he doesn't know were he strikes you ( HE KNOW'S EXACTLY WERE TO HIT YOU ) to put you out of order and rethink your criminal life . ( he gives you a chance to redeem yourself ) tho bones a broken .

5. You see enough situation were Batman captures a villain and afterwards after some research he offers villains a job to better their life's at wayne tech . ( as Bruce he droppes by often to check on the people who are working for him in to see if they are fine . )

6. There is no one in the entire DC universe who has greater heart for the people then bruce wayne and if you payed attention to this all . that's how we came to know batman.

7. wouldn't you go mentally unstable if you see what all the villains tried to do to him ?

imagine this . if joe chill didn't kill bruce he's parents, the batman would have never came to be,but none the less the villains did came to be even without batman, taken that in consideration, gotham would have bin burned to the ground a long time ago .
just look at villain origins except joker , the batman does not have anything to do with the creation of a villain ( take MR.freeze ) for example.

The batman stumbles upon the villains when he's batcomputer shows him readings of a disturbance in gotham ( batman always checks out the problem )

In the end we all must respect batman, because he would anything for the sake of the mission .
if you want unstable characters before you call batman unstable, look at all the villains batman encounter....

You must be clearly unstable to be beaten by the same man ( batman ) over and over again, and yet all villains keep trying .... that's what i call being mentally unstable ( because they all know after batman played their twisted game and he get's them, he will surely break some bones ) THEY ALL ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ KNOW and those villains keep trying ( joker even made a cat and mouse game out of it ) because batman doesn't kill .

The reason he let's villains live and kill innocent people is because he is not to blame for those deaths, but the villain is and he simply stops the villain ( end of story )

There are even episodes were villains try to become like normal people and fall back in to villainy . Batman can't save them all but batman doesn't stop trying .
