One thing to remember is that Batman is crazy. He doesn’t consider himself Bruce Wayne, he considers Bruce a mask he wears. He is Batman. Superman calls him Bruce to try to keep him grounded, but he’s already lost it. For Bruce to develop and have friends and a personal life, he has to first get past his need to be Batman. His psychosis keeps him from moving forward.

Spiderman totally deserves a break though. That kid puts himself through hell out of guilt. But for him to stop torturing himself he has to forgive his mistakes and guilt over Ben. He can still be Spiderman after that, so I’m all for it.
