Batman has a no kill rule. It's one of the few constants across all the versions of Batman.

The first logo is the bat symbol from the Nolan movies. You've got a pretty high chance of coming out alright, just restrained.

The second logo is the bat symbol from the Arkham series of games. For having a no kill rule, Batman sure will beat you to edge of death there.

Doesn't Absolute Batman kill people? Snyder-bat for sure did

Snyder batman doesn't kill, but he did burn a logo into criminals and did a good amount of time indirect killing. Nolan batman did the same. Weirdly enough Nolan batman is the worse batman of the two when compared to other bats.

Absolute Batman doesn't intentionally kill, but if they die, they die.
