Bitte nicht böse sein, aber:
Rein comichistorisch sind beide Aussagen falsch.
Nur ganz kurz angerissen - denn das Thema ist wirklich abendfüllend - hier:
"Batman's primary character traits can be summarized as "wealth; physical prowess; deductive abilities and obsession." The details and tone of Batman's characterization have varied over the years due to different interpretations. Dennis O'Neil noted that character consistency wasn't a major concern during earlier editorial regimes; he said, "Julie Schwartz did a Batman in Batman and Detective and Murray Boltinoff did a Batman in the Brave and the Bold and apart from the costume they bore very little resemblance to each other. Julie and Murray did not coordinate their efforts, did not pretend to, did not want to, were not asked to. Continuity was not important in those days.""

Wie oben gesagt: der Batman, den wir heute kennen, ist nicht der Batman aller Zeiten. Und Nolans Batman läßt sich auf eindeutige Comicvorbilder (bis hin zu konkreten Bildzitaten) zurückführen, ist also nicht minder "echt".
