Honestly this scenario would be an amazing plot idea, or character exploration. Technically, if the trolley goes and kills the 7 people, Batman didn’t kill them, since he didn’t pull the lever. So if he was a robot with strict programming, that would be the choice. But he’s a man (tm), and some rationality or burst of emotions for all those the johnkler has hurt would make him pull the lever.
But then I’d imagine he’d retire being the Batman, since he failed. Or worse, goes full punisher mode and has to be put down.
Geez man I genuinely feel like we haven't gotten a proper good batman comic since TDKR, the writers just can not write him, he's the icon of edge nowadays, the lego batman movie is like the best batman we've gotten as of recent
