“Batman’s fight on crime stems from one traumatic moment: witnessing the murder of his parents as an 8 year old boy. His survivor’s guilt led to a lifelong crusade to make up for being unable to defend them. His extreme reaction has led many writers to question Batman’s mental state. At times, he has been written as depressed, delusional, obsessive compulsive, or even psychotic. However in all cases, at his root, the Batman is ultimately a child dealing with the loss of his parents.”
