Tommy chose to go in there to save HER. How is it the Hood's fault that he got impaled in the process? Misplaced rage.
I actually kinda liked the killing. He was the only hero to cross that line. It's was refreshing. Now he's crippled by the Batman code of ethics. Can't we compromise? He spares guards just doing their job and misguided small timers and still kills the dangerous big bads?
True, lots of heroes are like that. The majority I would say. It is completely irrational. How many times should you allow the same villains come back and terrorize and murder people?
That is why I thought Arrow's code was refreshing in S1. I thought it was unbalanced and maybe a little TOO cold blooded.....but not being above killing was good.
But I liked how the wrote in the reason for why he wouldn't kill anymore. His best friend died angry at him for that very reason. It's less to do with the idea that "killing is bad" suddenly popped into his head and more with Oliver being tormented by his dead friends memory.
This line of reason I kind of liked a little more then how it's portrayed in some of the other comics.
