(SPOILER)You're missing my point. I understand the philosophy of Bruce Wayne being a facade for his identity as the Batman. Why does the fact that it's simply a cover-up lend to the idea that his superhero side should be explored almost exclusively and his life as Bruce should be nearly cast aside? I liked all the scenes in Batman Begins that showed him struggling to lead a double-life, and when I heard that his portrayal of Bruce Wayne was "Hamlet-like" in The Dark Knight, I expected them to explore his inner turmoil more. I'm not heartbroken that they didn't, it was just a minor complaint of mine.
