Should Batman Kill The Joker?

Comics Alliance pointed us towards a pretty interesting essay about Batman’s moral standards and how he should really just put the Joker six feet under.

We’re torn, because the basic crux of the argument is that the Joker is a genius, that he’s always going to be a homicidal maniac, and that he needs to save the Joker’s future victims by putting a stop to the Joker. And that’s a pretty good argument.

Of course, a better argument is that Batman just needs a better freaking prison. Seriously, why does he still dump the Joker in Arkham? Why doesn’t he take him to Takron-Galtos? Or the Phantom Zone? Or just put him in a cryotube in the Batcave?

What do you think? Should Batman off the Joker’s pasty ass, or not?
