Couldn't you argue that the show's message has always been this -- even back in season 1?

In Season 1 episode 1, Bullock asked Gordon to put a bullet in Penguin's head, but he chose not to do it.

How many people has Penguin killed because Gordon chose not to kill him? How many more people will Penguin kill when Bruce finally becomes Batman?

What about Batman's "No Kill" rule? The Joker keeps escaping Arkham, and keeps going on mass murder sprees, because Batman refuses to kill The Joker. How many lives would have been saved if Batman had just killed The Joker? You call it a shitty message, but that message sums up everything about Batman.

Batman has said that there can't just be one. If he kills joker he knows he won't stop.

I think you may need to have a talk with Morgan from TWD.
 
I think I'd experience my first real disappointment with Gotham this season if they actually have Bruce find his parent's killer and it really is the result of some vast conspiracy. The Wayne murders play best when they really are random. If there's a face, a group for Bruce to blame, it robs his drive of the scope it's supposed to have. He'd devote himself to tearing down him/them, not crime as a whole.

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
So this is happening again this week. Is this the mid-season finale? I have no idea when any of them are. So I have to keep asking.

This week's episode is the episode before the mid season finale.
Cool. Now I don't have to ask again.
Did Bruce and Selina... Oh damn. I don't think I watched the second half of the last episode.
EDIT : No wait... I think I did. Ughhhhh.
