That's certainly true to some extent. Yes, Batman realizes that his war against crime is greater than his own needs, but deep down, his personal motivation should still be there to a degree. After all, you could say that his desire to eradicate crime is an attempt to make sure what happened to his parents and to him doesn't happen to anyone else.
I didn't say that Tim didn't have a dark streak to him (although I thought to whole idea behind Robin was that he was to counterbalance the darkness of Batman) hence why I believe that if DC does decide to go ahead with this, they've set up Tim to be "Batman Jr." However, in comparison to Batman, it's not at the same level. No offense to Tim Drake fans, but Batman's darkness is almost at the levels of a Greek Tragedy or Shakespearian Drama, while Tim's "darkness" is can be described as "Emo" and is akin to a Linkin Park song.
Precisely my point. Even in Batman Begins, it was clear that while Terry McGuiness was wearing the Batman outfit, Bruce Wayne was still "Batman" despite his age and heart problems; in fact, you could say that the series was really a twist on the "Batman and Robin" partnership. Regardless, Terry STILL got tagged with being a "fake" and that is precisely what any new Batman will be tagged as--and justly so in my opinion. It might be interesting for awhile, but eventually readers don't want to read about a "pretender to the throne" but the real, genuine article. Especially an iconoclastic character like Batman.
All thou your analysis is quite thought out you made one little mistake.....Terry McGuiness was in "Batman Beyond"....."Batman Begins" was a movie.
