The sad truth is, if I'm on trial for killing someone, and I say throughout the trial, "When I get out I'm going to kill someone," and the prosecution can't prove it's case, and I go free, there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.
Unless we adopt vigilantism as a solution. Which, after all, is exactly what Batman does. Hence, the moral dilemma.
Batman is a moral dilemma though. Vigilantism is an aweful thing, a stones throw from chaos.
However, for those of us who can "see" Batman 24 hours a day, they are seeing he has a moral code that he won't cross, no matter what.
A great show on this is on History Channel, called Batman Psych.
