I don't understand the Batman argument at all. The guy experienced a hugely traumatic event as a child witnessing the brutal murder of his parents right in front of his eyes, and has spent the rest of his life focusing on an unhealthy obsession. The guy has issues. That's why so many writers have gone down that route. It's not as though some punk upstart writer decided to screw with Batman's origin and really mess him up. The cornball stuff was messed up. If you don't want to read about a character who's unbalanced, and borderline unhinged, read some Superman. I get that the dark, moody stuff can wear on you after a while, and I can also understand why some people might want to read stories where Batman is being a detective and solving mysteries instead of brooding over every little thing, but for goodness sakes, if he was a well-rounded, normal, mature adult, he wouldn't be dressing up in a bat costume fighting crime each night. Sorry if I'm being rude, but I don't get it. Superman lost his planet, his biological parents, and his adoptive parents. He's an orphan of an extinct planet. Superman should be 100 times as unbalanced and borderline unhinged as Batman is who himself should be 100 times as unhinged as Spider-Man was who was an unwitting accessory in the brutal murder of his Uncle (and who is so crazy that he's actually has been known to crack jokes when fighting the same type of sleaze who killed his Uncle). No way am I going near any of those whackjobs. Superman didn't witness any of that, though. He wasn't even aware of it until much later.
