It's an interesting analogy, and it makes sense - I just wish I could think of somebody else. While everything you said is true, they are also complete opposites - where Wolverine relies on instinct, Batman uses logic and reason, where Wolverine goes primal and berserk, Batman goes into an icy rage, where Wolverine uses his claws, instinct and healing power, Batman has his toys, his brain and his endless training…
Like bread and butter.
...Or something to that affect.
One may slash with adamantium claws, while the other throws batarangs, but in essence they're the same.
They're the lone ranger
They recognize friends and such (for the few that have earned such a title), but due to their jaded past, making themselves close is hard.
They can become obsessive with their other lives.
The X-men are Wolverine's Superman.
Right now, Wolverine is even driven to battle Corporate corruption and evil with the MGH scandal. And he's doing it smoothly, effectivley, from the shadows.
Doesn't that seem reminiscent of The Dark Knight to you?

And no, definitely not Lobo. Superficially, I am sure there are a lot of resemblances, but if you have actually spent as much time reading Lobo as I have, you will know they are two completely different characters.
I dunno, maybe some of you might feel differently, but for me, Batman would actually be closer to Wolverine than Lobo is. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, of course

From Wiki:
"The Presence is a name for the supreme being in the fictional DC Comics Universe, believed to be the God of Judeo-Christian (and other) beliefs. The Voice is an aspect of The Presence, it is the "Voice" of God. (The Presence should not be confused with the atomic-powered being with the same name from Marvel Comics.) The name was coined to avoid referring to this character as God, despite its obviously being intended to be that being. It would not be until the Comics Code Authority began to lose its influence that DC Comics would allow it to be referred to as God, mainly in its Vertigo line of comics.
The cosmic force known as the Source is believed to an aspect of the Presence.
Powers
The Presence is omnipotent.

I have to admit, that does sound a little bit like Wolverine - just not as powerful, of course
Grey Fox is right in that DC really did base lobo off of wolverine, in the basest peices of the characters personality.
They both:
smoke cigars
swear incesently
have no problem with killing
They are on par with each comic industrys boyscout. Lobo with Superman and Wolverine with Captain America. I think this is to keep the balance personally. Which explains the gap in power, Lobo naturally needed the superman-like powers in order to pose some sort of threat to superman.
Both use slashing/peircing weapons (lobo's hook, Wolverines claws)
They were intended to be similar. So i do think Grey Fox is right.

Hmm, I understand what you are saying, but characterwise I would say that Lobo reminded me more of Deadpool, just for the over-the-topness. As much as comparing Wolverine to Batman shocked me, intially, the idea is beginning to grow on me.
In all seriousness, despite what happened in that ridiculous, blasphemous crossover where the fans could vote for their favourite characters, Lobo, as you stated, is in Superman's league, and a perfect counterpoint to his seriousness and Boy Scoutishness. In a real match Lobo would have Wolverine for breakfast, wait for him to heal, then have him for lunch, then wait for him to heal... I think you can see where I am going with this...
So, according to my own personal merit system, anyway, I see Batman as being closer to Wolverine than Lobo...
Like I said, I do understand what you are arguing, though.
