The Village is a sure-fire DVD mockfest, I think.
He has his share of hallucinations, but probably no more than any other hero in the DCverse.
I'd venture that there have been more cases with Bruce with no known external cause than there have been with the other hero types, because Bats lends himself to weird little stories that are *just* Bruce and Batman arguing over the importance of Batman, or just young Bruce down in a cave talking to some random Thing about when the time will be right for him to give himself over to it.
In pre-sidekick canon, he doesn't form many close relationships, and those he does form are with people who serve his needs (Alfred) rather than his equals.
Not entirely true. If you're going by current continuity, Leslie was almost as important to him as Alfred, and while she can and does sew him up, that's not why he's attached to her.
I'm reading a Catwoman review that says:
This is a new Catwoman, though her story remains true to the original
Huh? Really? I'm assuming it's
one
of the originals, but which one? Current continuity?

Streetwise possibly half-Italian hooker who steals her way into high society where she dates Bruce Wayne, has all sorts of random adventures, some kind of Mental Health Crisis involving shit I'm not too clear on because except in the rebooted title, she kind of bores me, comes back as Reluctant Heroine of the Oppressed East Side Poor, sidekicks include Recovering Addict Lesbian with Cute Girlfriend attachment and Drunkard Ex-Cop PI?
Edited to add, if none of the above, then nope, probably NOT based on the Catwoman we know.

Okay, ow.
I know Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman worked for a nefarious cosmetics company, and had the near-death thing. Did any non-Elseworlds Catwoman have actual cat-given powers?
I liked the Catwoman who was the wife of a drunken abuser and turned to crime as a form of self-esteem-raising revenge. No magic, no baroque plotting (I mean, except for the gadgetry and costumes) -- just "Fuck you, cruel world".
I like that she was perfectly sane, and just rejected the normal order of things because it didn't keep her husband from smacking her around.
I'm seeing
The Village
tonight. It will take $7.75 away from me. And I'll probably like it, considering I'm one of the few
Unbreakable
fans here.
I liked it too, but from what I know I think M.'s played himself out this time.
Unbreakable is, it seems, the new gerund. Or Atkins diet.
