Is Batman mentally ill?

[MessiahDecoy123]

According to Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson he is.

What's your take?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Batman is a fictional character and may or may not be mentally depending on how the character is written

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Very much so.

He’s an emotionally scarred, untreated man who has been dealing with PTSD and survivor’s guilt over the murder of his parents for years.

Not to mention he’s a grown man who dresses up like a bat and bashes in the skulls of desperate people who are just trying to survive an expensive city like Gotham.

Maybe all those henchmen join up with Joker, Two-Face, Penguin, etc. because they offer better health insurance than regular honest jobs in Gotham. Lord knows they'll need it.

For real Driz.

You're out here, trying to feed your family, working for the Joker on Amusement Mile because he gives you medical, then here comes this billionaire out of nowhere hitting you like this:

Some bull man lol

There need to be more henchmen like this dude from Iron Man 3:

 

[Spider-Fan83]

he is a character of many complex issues, but, most those issues are more psychologically in nature then mental

 

[The Batman]

Depends on the version, and it depends on what kind of mental illness you're talking about.

Either way, "Batman is as crazy as his villains" is one of the worst takes on the character.

Wrong. A valid and interesting take

 

[The Batman]

Nope. It's a trash take.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Ok, but that's wrong

 

[The Batman]

Sure, but if I thought your opinion was actually valid, I'd have consulted you to begin with.

According to Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson he is.

What's your take?

I don't entirely disagree, I am curious what they actually said though, or how it was stated. Do you have a quote?
Thanks!

According to Grant Morrison-
Thomas Wayne- "I'm not sure Gotham would welcome a masked man taking the law into his own hands - The sad thing is, they'd probably throw someone like Zorro in Arkham"

Miller had him borderline dissociative identity disorder, where one side couldn't live without the other.
Although he reinvents himself again, by stories end.

A damaged psyche is definitely something often hinted at, and to some degree can be worth examining or at least questioning in story.

Depending how it's done, seems a fair take to examine it.
Especially when used to parallel and contrast to his infamously scarred villains.

 

[Breogan]

Nope. It's a trash take.

Considering your own dual themed avatar...

It is interesting these are the two who actively always talk s#! about their own alter egos.

While it's clearly yet another "mask" to deflect from the truth of their other darker identity, it's also borderline DID.

Not sure what approach Reeves and Robert Pattinson have described. Although I do remember someone referencing that in this take he develops the Bruce Wayne persona much later.

IS BATMAN MENTALLY ILL?
According to Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson he is.

I haven't followed this production much, while the movie will speak for itself, I'd love to know the actual quote (if there is one) , you are referencing?
If/how they described it , if you have it, thanks!
Or is this just interpretation?

 

[Spider-Fan83]

are we even sure the quote of them suggesting the "movie will deal with mental illness" was referring too Batman and not the villain(s)
