I un-ironically think the writers would do mental gymnastics to save the joker here

No need for mental gymnastics, Batman's no-killing rule has on numerous occasions caused him to just stand by and let Joker kill people because the only way to stop him would be to put a batarang through his skull. He won't pull the lever, he can't. Batman's no-kill-rule isn't really a moral stance, it's a compulsion that defies all logic and morality.

thats just not true, you can just beat joker into a vegetal state, or cut all of his limbs and leave him limbless, or you can just blind him forever, there is a lot you can do without killing
