Man-Bat and Clayface and Lizard were always depicted as tragic, however, they didn't want to be criminals so much as the lifestyle was forced upon them.. Killer Croc is normally depicted as a hardened killer and cannibal, such a character is much, much harder to "realistically" redeem, even in comic books.

no one ever redeems forever in comic books as it would cost companies money - the only one who arguably has done so is Harley Quinn but only because she was never really as evil as Joker etc to begin with (again, a semi-victim whose lifestyle was forced upon them).. even Harley isn't really "redeemed" so much as on-off.

treat Killer Croc as you would if Bane or something became "good", it will only last as long as the author deems it interesting, at which point he will inevitably return to being bad.. he's too iconic a villain for Batman franchise to give up.
