The Dark Knight Now that the Nolan Brothers Are Writing...

Ok, so how come he was still talknig like a jackass while revealing his identity to rachel on the rooftop?

Because he was probably in his "Batman" frame of mind. It's like how some athletes before a game get into a completely different mindset. They can be the nicest people in the world, but will become total *******s before and during a game. That voice is part of his mindset.

For the record, Batman did use detective skills...

Searching vacant apartment, in attempt to research the drugs being stashed in the teddy bears and bunnies...

Putting the pieces together with the monorail, microwave emitter, and fear gas...

We saw a mindful Batman, with a contigency plan of Gordon blowing up the end of the tracks before the monorail can get to Wayne Station...

Yet he still made quite a few rookie mistakes:
- too reckless running from the GPD (confronted about it by Alfred)
- not being mindful enough of Crane when he is in the abandoned apartment, thus getting set ablaze...
- being cornered by the police in Arkham Asylum...

I thought it was a perfect mix of character development and conflict for a rookie Batman.
