"should we adopt a general policy of killing people who are similar to Bruce Wayne's parents at the moment of their death?"

My answer's still no because of my first comment. The death of his parents is only one factor involved in Bruce Wayne's becoming Batman. In Batman Begins, for example, another important factor is his training with the League of Shadows. The latter is not a predictable consequence of the former.

Ah, I see your point. Sure, that's true.
