strain and eyes wide look the same.. batman has one expression: batman

@sexpistols015 He didn't come to realize that until later into the movie, so no he had no personal reason to drop Napier at this point.

Also, it's pretty apparent that he didn't do it on purpose, he dropped him because Napier took his hand off of the bar and stopped supporting himself leaving Batman to struggle with the entirety of his weight with only one hand. After that Napier's hand just slipped from Batman.

I came here for an explanation...instead I was just told in text what I was looking at.

@sanderflop he didn't kill him at the end, Batman tied his leg to a gargoyle and it broke. Batman didn't know the gargoyle was going to break. Thats like saying Spiderman murdered the Green Goblin by jumping out the way of the glider blades.

The joker kills the mob members outside the courthouse and bruce is in awe that hes still alive and walks after him in total disbelief. he even takes a shot to the coat and doesnt realize it. the sign that lets u know he knew that he meant to kill jack napier is when he goes home and is sitting with alfred and says" i just found out jack napier is still alive"

[batdog2112]

when he is holding jack he at first instinct grabs him out of mercy to save him, has a change of conscience and decides to drop him. i know a lot is up for interpretation but look at the scene when bruce first sees the joker.

No, Batman knew that was the man who killed his parents. When he watches the tape of his house surveillance he hears them say "jack Napier is clearing out axis chemicals". So he goes there and tries to stop the plans.

[sanderflop]

it still not explaned why he killed him at the end

[CorileousBane41]

You can see clearly at the drop that batman was holding jack by the fingers, so it's clear that jack slipped.

@DarthStarscream1138 So Batman tried to kill Napier because he was possessed by Batwoman? XD

It was not until Joker said "Ever Danced With the Devil in the pale moonlight" at Vicki's apartment thathe comes to realise as that was what he said after he shot his parents.
