It's nothing to do with cinemas it's the fact that his suit is under question, not all other villains or movie villains or anything like that. What I don't like is Shredder in this show has been reduced to a toy, a suit, not a person but a toy version of what could have been. Far as Doom goes, the only thing that was tweaked was power accquistion.
He didn't shoot thunder clouds out of his mouth or sprout dragon wings, he is still Dr. Doom. The only thing that was tweaked was how he gained his abilities, now had they changed his abilities and what they'd do, that'd be a big problem. But it's like Spider man and the web shooters thing. That was a change, but not so much a change as say finding out Peter Parker is from Venus or something.
Far as Batman goes, he follows the same logic any other hero would: NO killing. Batman does not have the right to take the life of another, nor does any other super hero deserve to. Heroes only do it if it's a last resort and even then, I bet you a million dollars they mentally tear themselves apart for the rest of their lives over it.
Superman could easily kill Lex Luthor or any of his foes, but the fact he does not stoop to such a level shows he is better then them because he has not let the evil they represent corrupt his identity. Batman Begins made it very clear:
Henri Ducard: Your compassion is a weakness your enemies will not share.
Bruce Wayne: That's why it's so important. It separates us from them.
Every life is sacred, no matter how disgusting or despicable that life may treat others. Every super hero (sans the Punisher) never takes the life of another, no matter how much easier their life would become if they did. Batman knows if he killed Joker he would have saved many, many lives.
But if he resorted himself to taking Joker's life, he'd be no better then Joker because he made the decision that he should die. Turtles is a prime example. Look at the first movie, Splinter had no intention of killing Shredder. Shredder dropped himself into that garbage truck, and killed himself by knocking all that debris on top of his head.
