Umm, how? Do you know what '!=' means? It stands for "does not equal".
No, they don't. Someone can be introverted and have one (or two, or all) of those traits, but they do not automatically equate to being introverted. Someone can be an extrovert with those same traits, as well.

Just a note to the thing i said ages ago, Squall is only my favourite hero because of his facial scar and weapon... The character himself pales in comparison to the actual 3 dimensional lead characters.

Batman is an introvert. Bruce Wayne isn't. The difference? The Bruce Wayne thing is an act. It isn't who he is. The guy in the cape and cowl is who he is. to the people that know him (and remember, not many people know batman) he is considered what we would define as an introvert. this includes alfred, dick grayson and superman.
i disagree. characters being introverted has been a stable of the superhero genre since the 60s. and i'm not talking about random team member #4 or anything, i'm talking about central characters. cyclops for example, from the x-men. a nice guy? no. a well liked guy? no. a confident guy? no. he actually fills all the criteria of an introvert.
as an action hero, though? he kicks. ass.
anyways, as far as FF goes, Squall might not have been the most likeable of characters, but he was more of a hero than Tidus, imo. Squall did plenty of action oriented stuff, and even though Rinoa REALLY wasn't worth the trouble, he caused hell just to get her back. also, maybe he didn't develop THAT much, and that's fine, imo. I don't see why he has to shift that dramatically. he started off as a bit of an outcast, and became a leader.
is he a great character? no. of course not. but is he a hero? damn straight.
All of these descriptions could be applied to Batman:
Batman is prep-time: in versus matches Batman "with prep" is considered pretty much unbeatable (from what little I've seen online)
Batman tends to have a plan: in TDK he carefully and methodically searches for the Joker with a system
Batman is not particularly vocal (in universe)
Batman keeps to the shadows and is not the center of attention. While Bruce Wayne may hold that place, the consensus (that was not challenged by the dissenting voices even in this thread) is that Batman is the actual personality while Wayne is a front, an act
Batman's motivations (vengeance) are focused within himself- the urge to find revenge and the conflict between that need and the need for justice beyond revenge are definitely 'within [batman's] own world'.
He seems to fit the criteria- omniscient narration does not nullify his behavior, no matter how much is revealed to the reader.
