It's about the right thing. But Keaton's shows just as much remorse. He actually smiles. That's disturbing. But I disagree that the characters didn't feel guilt.
And don't give me that rubbish that 'he didn't kill Ra's" or "it's not murder". You acknowledged before that Batman did break his moral code, and his code was not killing. Therefore, Bale's Batman is a murderer too. Saying otherwise only defies common sense.
In my opinion, I find it's more disturbing that Batman doesn't react or feel guilty over the deaths of the people he ended up killing in the temple, Two-Face or Talia, if he really didn't intend to harm them. Where's his conscience?
I didn't acknowledge that. I said that he kinda broke his rule in that instance. I didn't say that he did break is rule in that instance.
He didn't murder.
I googled murder. This was one of the things that came up:
The unlawful killing of another human being without justification or excuse.
That is not what Batman did. By this definition, he never did that.
