[quote name='Wombat']In those comics/ cartoons he takes a break after he has been Batman for a long time, almost 15-30 years, I think. In DKR he has been Batman for maybe a 1.5 - 2 years and then takes an eight year vacation. That's not very Batman like.[/QUOTE]
It's not very batman? If he is only batman for 2 years at the time, then he has a bad day and looses a chic, he freaks out and takes 8 years to gather himself, how is that not very batman? The other times as you claim he took a break, he's been batman for many many years. We are seeing the infant batman and how he used to deal with things before he mastered his emotions.
Imagine becoming this amazing crime stopping detective with infinite amount of money coming from the background he came from. He's enjoyed getting exactly what he has wanted his entire life, then is shocked when things don't go his way, he had an emotional break down. The greatness that will become the batman, was born when he put the suit back on after his 8 years of grief over having to accept he does not have absolute control over his life and those around him.
