plot explanation - Did Batman break his no killing rule when he burned down the monastery in Batman Begins? - Movies & TV




And if the fire didn't kill anyone, what would be the point? Destroying a headquarters won't prevent the organisation carrying out its plan.


Answer



Besides the fact that, as oers said, he wasn't Batman at that time (and has maybe not thought that philosophically about killing people yet), the only reasons for doing this are not just to either kill anyone or destroy the organization.



The most obvious reason for starting the fire was to make distraction and chaos, which enables him to escape. I would say he was at a dead end and needed some way to get out of it fast, so starting the fire was a good chance for enabling his escape. He probably didn't think through that fast if anyone would get killed in this fire, he just needed to escape. He didn't kill anyone on purpose there.
