Moreso a very old meme analogy. But of course you're too much of a newfag (or rather, outright outsider shill) to recognize that.

The original Batman (the one from Earth-Two) killed sometimes. And the modern Batman shot Darkseid (well, technically Darkseid's ghost, but being a ghost doesn't really matter to a god. He was technically a ghost during the entire story) with a god-killing radion bullet. Also, then The Flashes had to catch Darkseid's soul so that The Black Racer (the Fourth World embodiment of The Grim Reaper) could catch him, but still, I think clearly the point is that Batman gets credit for killing Darkseid that one time.
Then Darkseid was recreated because he, as the embodiment of evil, is a fundamental aspect of existence. I'm not quite clear on how he came back to life that time, but the fact that Batman killed him that one time is canon, and it's basically his most important story.

Also, the whole way The Spectre got his job in the first place is because God decided that the previous Angel of Death, the one who killed all the firstborn of Egypt in Exodus, actually went too far when he did that, so he was fired and replaced with The Spectre (and was so mad about his firing that he became the supervillain Eclipso).

They do still treat Joker like that plenty. But some stories are lighthearted and some are edgy, and the edgy ones are the ones people remember the most now. They're more important in continuity since they involve things like main characters dying, and more recent edgy adaptations like The Dark Knight and Joker have been very successful (despite both being very different from the comics, Joker so much that it might as well have not been an adaptation at all).

To be fair, I thought his point was that normalfags don't even know who Goebbels was anymore. Normalfags don't know shit. They think Hitler was an absolute dictator, and therefore didn't have any top guys helping him out. If you give them a hint and tell them the guy you named was a Nazi, they'll think you're talking about the guy whose face melts in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

To be fair, him being found insane is also couched in the idea of Gotham's justice system being insanely corrupt. Except for that bit about God Himself finding The Joker too insane to judge. But that's a single story, and not a major crossover that gets referenced all the time or anything. But yeah, might have gone a little too far.
Of course, this is a universe where Batman routinely teams up with Detective Chimp, who once solved the mystery of the multiverse and discovered that the main DC Universe is literally made out of the '60s Batman theme song (it vibrates at a frequency that makes it sound like that "na-na-na-na na-na-na-na" part. It makes sense in context, I swear), and that is an important crossover story that gets referenced often in later stories. It's the story that introduced The Batman Who Laughs. It's a silly universe, even when it's edgy. That's sort of the point, and makes a lot of stuff acceptable in context.
