Well, he has people skills...at least, Bruce Wayne does. I think its just a fear of losing others. Thats why he doesn't wanna train Grayson at first, cause he doesn't want to be responsible for another person's death. I'm pretty sure the whole idea of Batman's anti-love thing is just so he doesn't have to get attached and then have someone ripped out from him again.
Yes Vaya it is all of the reasons u stated combined.
The events of MOTP make it pretty clear that he doesn't get involved with people again because of that one traumatic experience where his fiance,someone for whom he was wiling to forgo the who batman thing,breaks the engagement and leaves.
Then there is the ROTJ incident where Timmy, is mercilessly tortured by Joker as a means to get to Batman.
Even if he does get involved iwth someone regardless of these problems, the result then is also not pretty.A great example would be the failed Bruce and Barbara relationship implied in BB. Barbara and Bruce did have a fling but it couldn't b emore because when it came down to it, Batman was already married to his job. Barbara said that he would have to choose a life with her, or one alone on the streets as Batman.Bruce of course chose Batman over her.
The guy is obsessed and he knows it.He tells all this very clearly to Diana in JLUs "This Little Piggy"
saying
"Dating within th eleague always leads to disaster.
If my enemies know I have some one special they won't rest until they get through to me through her
I am a rich kid with issues...lots of issues..."
HAHAI LOVE MY BATMAN!
Gender: Female Location: In the forest where I belong
I think deep down he wants to be around people, but does not want his love ones getting hurt. Also I think his biggest fear is that one of his love ones will die because of him.
Batman knows that loved ones can be used against him, but more than that, he has intimacy issues due to his traumatic loss as a child. It is obvious Bruce Wayne adored his parents, and when they died so did his ability to comfortably love someone. His chosen profession amplifies his fear of loss.
Bruce Wayne plays the playboy role, but rarely (if ever) has any serious relationships. Its simply too big a gamble, and the gamble hits too close to home for him.
Imagine seeing Batman on a rooftop, clad in Black, and he's scary looking....
and all of the sudden, some flamboiant kid comes out in a green speedo.....[shudder]
