I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m a bit of a bat-fanatic.
]]>And maybe the 1970s-80s “human” Batman (Might be close to your “Balanced Batman” but I read that one as the Batman: The Animated Series Batman, who has a different relationship with the law and police than the 1970s-80s comics)
– Smart, but not a superhuman intelligence (that is, doesn’t solve a case if there aren’t any clues, and sometimes can’t find his man)
– Operates largely within police procedural limits. Will confront suspects, but often not “arrest” them without proof
– A skilled fighter, but not the martial-arts/ninja master of the 1990s and 2000s (When he talked about the possibility of getting killed by a lucky punk with a gun, it was a real possibility)
– actually took his mask off in the cave, even if he left the tights on
– stories often focused on personal relationships–Jim Gordon, Vicki Vale, Silver St. Cloud, other superheroes
– For a time, actually left the cave in favor of a downtown penthouse, to be closer to the city (especially after Dick Grayson left to go to college)
– actively looks to expand the “costumed adventurer working with the police” model of crimefighting (encourages, recruits, and/or trains people who seek to emulate him)
– often has trouble communicating with his sidekick (many stories hinge on Batman or Robin being up to something different than what their partner thinks that the other is up to)
– Extremely self-assured (knows the right thing to do and does it)
– Occasionally superpowered due to chemical/energy exposure, unique circumstances, or interdimensional travel
– Loved by the ladies (Batwoman, Julie Madison, etc.) but doesn’t have time for them
