I've never read a comic book and did not find this Batman substantially different from what I was expecting, in any respect. And I liked it a lot.
Just as a data point.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jordan Catalano is a woobie! Season one Ryan Atwood, also a woobie. It helps when they have a violent streak, or maybe those are my issues.

Bats is defintly not a woobie.
Actually, I can't really think of a character I feel that way about.
I just realized that my One True Woobie from comics is Morpheus from The Sandman. I can't tell if this confirms me as crazy, or a cliché. Or possibly both.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Morpheus is such a woobie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It seems to be a distinct female-to-male thing, I don't know. I can't think of female woobies, but that may just be the whole prevalance of women in the fandom thing.

He he he.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Morpheus is such a woobie.
Oh yeah. Totally.

Morpheus is such a woobie.
So I'm not *completely* bonkers for thinking so? Oh good.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Hmmmm. Farscape season 2 Aeryn Sun might qualify as a woobie. She has the hard, violent aspects, with all that past baggage. Kinda tortured, hidden depths, etc.
