>King: I think that's the core of what makes Batman fascinating. It's all about his mortality. He's any of us. He's all of us. He has that will. Any of us could be Batman if we just had his will; if we just had his determination. And the fact that he's Batman, the fact that he turned what we have into that is psychotic and inspiring. That's Batman in a nutshell. He's psychotic and inspiring at the same time. And that contradiction is why everyone keeps writing him and writing him well. He's clearly the good guy but there is also something about him that's just not right. And that's cool.

I generally don't like angst-ridden interpretations of Batman, so I wonder why I'm ok with the BTAS interpretation while hating the way Tom King writes him. There must be some subtle difference that I can't identify.
