You cannot come back from this, Batman cannot cross that line and come back from it. In no uncertain terms is this not a betrayal of the character. Not only that but it doesn't make sense. There is no way that in a universe where Batman casually kills, the Joker or any of his villans live.
There is not a single comic in Batman canon where he kills. Not a single one. It's a defining aspect of the character. Even in what I'm assuming is the only comic book Zach Snyder has ever read, The Dark Knight Returns, Bruce is adamant about not killing. It defines his story.
It's a complete betrayal of the character and this is the same garbage reasoning used when Superman killed Zod: "Oh he has to have killed someone to know he doesn't like killing". Bull.
Batman does not kill. If you have a Batman who's comfortable with killing, you may as well draw a skull on his chest and call him Frank Castle.

Except he did kill in TDKR.
