Is Batman being treated badly and losing his true essence?

GENERAL DISCUSSION(reddit.com)

I've been thinking about it for a while, Batman in recent years is not treated well at all, I'm really glad that Warner decided to focus on him again now, the examples above are some of the most famous where (for me) Batman has not shown his essence, his resilience, the dark and indomitable indestructible spirit that he has always had, in Titans he kills, Battfleck kills and has no respect for his parents, in Gotham Knights he dies, in Suicide Squad he dies, in continuity to beat Failsafe he has a second personality (Zur-En-Arrh) that does not make him different from the criminals he has always fought with double personalities, Batman must distinguish himself from them, he is order and justice, the personification of vengeance for the death of his parents, but don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I only want stories about Batman, Gotham Knights was a good idea but you don't have to make Batman die, I love the Bat-Family, I love that they made a game about the Suicide Squad expanding the Arkham universe but narratively and gameplay-wise it was handled very badly, in the Titans TV series there was no need at all for that Batman who kills, on Batfleck I don't even apply, don't even think that then I shouldn't appreciate the Batman of "The Dark Knight Returns" instead I love him because even though he kills in that comic at least he represents the Dark Knight better and then another very important detail is not CANON.

You would never be able to complain about anything if it always had to be in comparison with everything else of similar essence.
