not to bring this up again but (well yeah to bring this up again) -- i'm curious, if Pete's going for the "with great power comes great responsibility" shouldn't it mean that if the conditions are right he'd feel that it's his "responsibility" to kill ? I think he's faced that dilemma with Gobby before but I can't place it. It had to be around the John Romita Jr. years... I think.
At any rate, Batman isn't that dogmatic about his heroism. He has a "no kill" policy but it isn't the Gospel to him, and that's something we saw at the end of BB when he interprets his policy to fit his needs. He isn't inclined to save anyone, nor is he taking responsibility for other people's actions. Pete's got some learnin to do.
