Some fans: "Batman doesn't love Jason, he never even tried to avenge his death, he just let's the joker be free"
Batman: (Batman: Hush #7)

He is ready and willing to kill the joker at any time but their are multiple reasons he doesn't and none of those are a lack of love for his son.

Finally watching the animated film for Batman: Hush and (while there's a lot of major alterations to the comic) it really sent me how Bruce nearly killing Joker went. In the animation it's Bruce making hilarious growling noises, Joker's voice actor making... an attempt (and I'm annoyed about it because "I want you to break your code, but for something I actually did" is such a good line, I want to hear Mark Hamill or Troy Baker do it so bad), while Jim Gordon comes from behind and goes "Batman THIS ISN'T YOU!!" and then Bruce stops.
Meanwhile, in the comic. It took three fucking people to get Bruce to stop. First Bruce fights off Harley Quinn. Then he injures and knocks out Selina, who he was having all those complicated feelings about, and merrily goes back to trying to kill Joker. And then Jim Gordon shows up and has to shoot Batman in the arm to let him know he's serious, to make him stop strangling the life out of Joker.
I actually like the moment as it is in the comic. Many alternate universes have established that Bruce is capable of killing Joker, and that it always happens after Joker goes too far and kills even more people Bruce cares about. But this time is the closest Bruce came to killing Joker with his own hands in main continuity-- not just stepping away and allowing for Joker to crash with a helicopter, or for Jim to take a shot at him during No Man's Land. And it's shown painstakingly that it isn't an accident; multiple people try to stop Bruce, to appeal to his sense of self, but his anger is too overwhelming. It takes a threat to Bruce's own life for him to stop.
And as usual, it's contextualizing it that makes it interesting to me... Whenever I go back to Under the Red Hood and Bruce's explanation to Jason-- not killing Joker because he knows he can never go back, I also think of the time he nearly killed Joker in Hush. Bruce doesn't just think he'd entirely lose it if he killed Joker, he knows. He had to forcefully be pulled back from the brink of entirely losing himself, and very recently. Which makes it all the more bonkers for him to choose to save Joker's life, doesn't it? And by slashing Jason's throat, no less. It makes it even more clear that in UtRH, just like Jason said ("I'm talking about him, just him") Bruce meant Joker-- he meant that if he killed Joker, it would spell out the end for him. Not if he simply killed.
So Bruce cannot kill Joker without losing himself. But he also cannot allow Joker to die by anyone else's hands, not even Jason's, whose murder had fueled his anger in Hush when he tried to strangle Joker. It's such a typically Bruce "It's fine when I do it but I draw the line at anyone else trying it!" way of thinking, betraying his need for control, but so much... worse, because it's about the Joker. Yeah, you feel entitled to kill the clown. But also you cannot kill the clown because you'd become the worst version of yourself. But also no one else can kill the clown, because he's your horrible murder clown who's pretty much defining the terms through which you understand your own darkness, and you selfishly need him alive.

No because Bruce needs Dick so much.
Remember in Hush when Bruce was beating himself up over the fact that he almost killed Joker (again), and Dick was there to reassure him that he didn't end up acting on his impulse. To which Babs then interrupted their talk and was like, "Guys? If you're all through with the male bonding..."
Don't even get me started on the fact that Bruce didn't reveal his identity to Selina until Dick suggested he should. Bruce even credited Dick while talking to Selina.
Bruce: A few days ago I buried a dear friend.
Selina: I... I'm sorry.
Bruce: It's been suggested that I'm handling it well because I have you in my life.
Selina: I have a fan? Is it the little bird or the bigger one?
Bruce: Nightwing.
What's funny is that Dick told Bruce that he should shave before having that conversation with Selina, and Bruce didn't. So then Selina commented on Bruce's beard after he pulled off his cowl, and Bruce thought, Dick was right. I should have shaved...
Shit like that makes you go, "Ah, yeah, that makes sense," whenever Bruce goes absolutely ballistic after something bad happens to Dick. Like hey. That's his kid. His confidant. One of his best friends. Lay a hand on him and Bruce will have a fucking crisis over it.

It's hilarious to me whenever someone says "Batman doesn't do relationships" or "Batman would never simp". Like, we're talking about the same man who kissed Catwoman once and then immediately proceeded to think about it 24/7, considered it enough to say they were "having a romance" and then began to make plans for a life together.
Just to show you how intense this dude is, he (unprompted) remembers the kiss more than three times in a single issue.

We get it, Bruce. You kissed her. Please calm down.

I keep forgetting that Lex Luthor was President of the United States in DC Comics (and Talia Al Ghul took over Lexcorp) so everytime he shows up I'm like `wtf President? When did-...oh yeah.'
