I was reading Gotham City Sirens: Strange Fruit last week, and Talia made reference to this crappy character Senpai wanting revenge on Bruce Batman for killing Sensei. I do not recall this happening. In fact the only references I could find were some insane goings on in Batman Odyssey which I have not read, and I heard was totally out of continuity anyway.
The more likely reference I could find was to the Resurrection Of Ra's. I checked it out:
1) It's not obvious that Sensei is 100% dead. 2) It doesn't look all that deliberate on Batman's part. 3) According to Sensei's appearance list on http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Sensei_(New_Earth)/Appearances, it seems he appeared later in Terrible Tony Daniel's Eye Of The Beholder storyline, which I have not yet suffered through because it is currently still only Hardcover and I'm waiting for the Trade. Since Batman was a Dick book at this time, and that story I believe was published sometime after this Sirens issue, I'm sure it is nothing to do with that book.
In conclusion, unless somebody wants to say otherwise, I'm putting this down to misguided application of blame by the forgettable Senpai character and there was no intentional killing in this case.

Wasn't (a) Sensai killed in the Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul? It may have been one of those "he didn't save him from dying, therefor killed him" situations. I also seem to remember Deadman taking over Batman's body in the 70s and killing someone.

I have updated Batman's kill list with a LotDK #158 entry. It's not exactly straight up murder, but I think it counts. I'm planning to read the sequel to this story tonight as well so I wonder if the writer will give me another entry for my list!
If there is no edit to this post later to add more information then there was no more Batman killing.
