Even if we take Stout's estimate as correct, you really should read the book before misquoting statistics at me.Not really, no. In fact, he makes sure he doesn't so that nobody connects Bruce Wayne and Batman....Have you ever read a Batman comic?You mean the social norms of a city that has a signal in the sky to call him?Okay. I guess all first responders, cops, and soldiers are sociopaths, amirite?...You mean the one who was the target of an assassination? Or either of the two that were already involved in crimefighting and/or sought him out? Or the one that was already a borderline-superhuman assassin without any real ability to interact with people and was on the street? Please, go on....Oh, so risking his life repeatedly to save others isn't responsible? Or how about his actions in No Man's Land or even Nightfall? How about his attempt to stop Supes and Zatanna in Identity Crisis? No, it doesn't. But there's a very, very large distance between "normal psychology" and "sociopath." Batman is not a sociopath. His actions on numerous occasions, such as his risking his life for his enemies, is not just not sociopathic, but is exactly the opposite.</blockquote>
