No, I'm talking about heroes in general. For example, the Joker is certainly not family to Batman or worth feeling empathy for. He is heartless, and he blows up cities for fun. But Batman actually tries to save him from time to time when he falls to death or whatever, instead of just letting him die and creating way less heartache for tons of people.

I think the reason that heroes just let villains go and don't kill them is so they can come back and fight them from time to time so the story can keep going. XD
