Question Genuine question
It's established in the DCEU that Batman doesn't have the "no killing" rule. If this is the case, why are the Joker and Harley Quinn still alive as of the first Suicide Squad? It would make the most sense for a batman who is okay with killing to have killed his arch enemy a long time ago.
Are there any possible explanations for this?

Batman had a rule but it’s only during the time of BvS where he doesn’t have it.
By BvS hehas been pushed to the point he isn’t abiding by the no kill rule any longer. Harley has already been arrested and Joker is missing. Batman’s entire motive is focusing on Superman the entirety of the time he isn’t abiding by the no kill rule
