From the Wikipedia page on Batman (the character): "Miller is often credited with reintroducing anti-heroic traits into Batman's characterization,  such as his brooding personality, willingness to use violence and torture, and increasingly alienated behavior. Batman's original character was changed in the 1950s when the now-defunct comic book codes went into effect, and DC editor Whitney Ellsworth reinvented Batman as having a stringent moral code which never allowed him to kill.  Miller's Batman was closer to the original, Golden Age version, who was willing to kill criminals if necessary ."

Batman has killed in the past. As I said before, originally Batman killed and itwas in the 1950's that the no-kill rule was created. They even list personality traits belonging to Batman which fit the Anti-Hero type.

Also, from the DC Comics website: "But in his crusade against injustice, two questions always loom: How far will he go to protect the innocent, and will he sacrifice his humanity along the way?"

That is the very definition of someone who can go too far, which is what an Anti-Hero is.

''' Batman is an Anti-Hero. ''' He is a vigilante who flouts the law where necessary to bring down criminals, whereas Superman and Captain America operate within the laws, making them true heroes. Your like of him and near hero-worship doesn't change that he is an Anti-Hero by  DC Comics own admittance.
