Nope, hardly.
The Dark Knight Returns Batman actually had a split personality and a real Batman persona. The Nolan Batman put on a mask to become Batman, the Miller versions were Batman. I love when Bruce is down in the cave and realizes that he shaved off the mustache. Or when the Batman personality starts to take hold and emerge when he's seeing all the crime on television and the bat crashes through the window for a second time like an omen. Even Year One Batman had this complex, talking to his father's statue.
I have no problem with a Batman that's a heroic psychopath with a dark edge. While I love the Nolan Batman for the most part (save for TDKR, which I despise), I don't really like that he's this speech spewing, symbol of "hope". Sure, I guess you could say he's inspiring, but as a dark hero, that sort of Batman doesn't interest me. I don't think Batman should necessarily stand for hope more than he is a symbol born out of crime and despair. I like the idea that Gotham really is beyond saving and not even Batman can stop it, but he still fights it because he's compelled to and it acts as a sort of catharsis. Eliminating crime should be his obsession. Let's face it, peace is a pipe dream. There is no such thing as a crime free city, I prefer a Batman that goes out every night with the intent of symbolically avenging his parent's death by targeting all crimes to the point of obsession. The imagery and dynamic of a child making an oath to his dead parents swearing to eliminate crime is a lot more powerful and compelling to me than being a symbol for the people (other than striking fear into the hearts of criminals). That sort of seemed cheesy to me, I prefer a darker, edgier Batman that's cynical, hopeless and takes matters into his own hands, not one that's looking for others to take up the baton.
