Batman once murdered people left and right like a generic vigilante

I have read pretty much the entirety of the golden age Batman, and I can say this is exaggerated a bit. Yes, villains died quite a bit, but Batman was really only directly responsible in one or two instances. In most cases it was the "Villian trying to escape and accidentally killing himself" trope mentioned above. Probably the most infamous case of him straight up murdering someone was his first comic (which is the one everyone shares as a "SEE, BATMAN KILLS PEOPLE!!!" case). But after that it was accidents in pretty much all cases.

I will say though, golden age batman felt no remorse over those deaths. He just went "oh well..." and walked away like nothing happened.
