I disagree with you about why Dr. Horrible couldn't pull the trigger on Captain Hammer. He had already stated earlier that he wasn't the killing type and, ultimately, Dr. Horrible/Billy is a Jekyll/Hyde situation and, by the time Dr. Horrible has to pull the trigger, Billy is the one doing the talking. "Head up Billy buddy," is what he says to himself, reverting to his other personality. Sure, Captain Hammer put into motion Dr. Horrible's actions in the auditorium, but that doesn't change who he is.
I don't normally see people talking about Dr. Horrible/Billy as an almost split-personality issue, which is how I see it, so that may be our main difference. Either way, Dr. Horrible wanted to get into the E.L.E. by using his brains, thus the Death Ray (with numerous research), and not by force. Killing wouldn't have really changed the status quo, now would it?

Btw, have you ever read the comics?
