** Also, when Atlas looks over an unconscious [[Supergirl]], who had just been shot by a [[Kill Sat]], he makes a comment that implies that he's going to rape her. Superman's all "HELL NO!" and knocks him into the sky. Sure, Supes would save anyone from that, but Kara is practically his daughter.

* Gary Hampton in ''[[The Astounding Wolf Man]]'' which is fitting because he's in a fact a werewolf. I pity anyone who attempts to harm his daughter.

* In at least two [[Alternate Universe|alternate universes]], [[Batman]] has broken or has been ''really'' close to breaking his [[Thou Shalt Not Kill]] vow when either his adoptive son/sidekick Robin or his protégé/also sidekick [[Batgirl (Comic Book)|Batgirl]] are in trouble. There is one named ''[[The Nail]]'' where {{spoiler|[[Superman]] had ''not'' joined the [[Justice League of America]] since he was raised by Amish and not by the Kents, so superheroes were pretty much outcasts of society}}; in that particular world, {{spoiler|[[The Joker]] kills ''both'' Robin and Batgirl in public and ''very cruelly'' - this sends the already distraught Batman into such an [[Unstoppable Rage]] that he ''kills'' the Joker right on the spot and then crosses the [[Despair Event Horizon]]. It takes [[Catwoman (Comic Book)|Catwoman]] and Alfred ''more'' than a while to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|get him at least partially out of his funk.]] }}. Another was created when Jason Todd was killed; in this [[Alternate Universe]], {{spoiler|Batman kills the Joker, and figures, why stop there? He then proceeds to kill ''every'' supervillain in the DC Universe, because he's the Goddamn Batman. The irony? This world, without super-crime and with superheroes able to help with other things now, is a near utopia. And then Superboy-Prime blew it up.}}

** It's not just the [[Alternate Universe]] Batmen that fall into this trope. In the regular universe, the only times Batman has come REALLY close to killing occur when any Robin/Batgirl/sidekick was threatened or killed. When Jason Todd was murdered, Batman struggled with the urge to kill the Joker (to the point where ''Superman'' showed up to help Batman stop himself from doing anything he might regret later), and the same occurred when Barbara was crippled by the same villain. Then when Black Mask tortured and killed Stephanie Brown a.k.a. Spoiler {{spoiler|(who got better)}}, Batman really tried to ''beat him to death'', and was only stopped by Babs endangering herself on purpose. Finally, when Nightwing was almost killed by Alexander Luthor Jr. in ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', Batman ''grabbed a gun'' and was about to blow Luthor's brains out at point blank range.

** It's kind of a known fact that if you want to grab Batman's attention the best thing to do is threaten the people he works with - ''especially'' [[Nightwing]] or Robin. It's the kind of thing the more deranged villains frequently do, e.g. Joker and Two-Face. Papa Bat knows the kids can take care of themselves, but that's not going to stop him from showing up and 'dealing' with whoever dares to harm his children.
