Malthus @ #100:
I haven't been paying attention to DC since the latest reboot, but subtextually, the Batman comics have detailed Batman's steady alienation and decompensation, as well as the fact that his crusade, instead of being at worst a futile attempt to hold back the darkness, is in fact contributing to that darkness.
Since the reboot - Infinite Crisis - Bruce's journey has been one away from the darkness. What we've been getting is a stabler, more human Batman, one who's less alienated, more willing to work with others. A Batman who, so far, has shown no sign of the belief /he/ needs to police the world, or that he can't trust others to do the right thing.
(DC have Paul Dini, one of the guys behind 'Batman: The Animated Series', writing 'Detective Comics'. 'B:tAS' portrayal of Batman was of a Batman more stable and balanced than the one then current in the comics, and Dini's brought that portrayal of Batman to his run.)
