   No, he isn't. One example of that he isn't a sociopath is that he knows better than to kill even his worst enemy. Another example is that he knows when and how to use his mind as well as his fists.
   
   Just because Batman had a bad past, it doesn't stop him from having a heart of gold. He's rich, all right. But he uses his wealth to help other innocent people and not for his own personal gain.
   
   There's no doubt that the Dark Knight's an anti-hero. But there are other characters who are more anti-heroic than him.

   Other reason why Batman's not a sociopath is because he has a friendly personality, doesn't mind working with other people, and cares for his butler, Alfred Pennyworth.
   
   Even the Dark Knight became the fighter who many of us know, I believe that he did it because that it was necessary due to the amount of police corruption in Gotham City, although the main reason why he's a crime fighter is because he wanted to make up for failing to save his parents from death.
   
   I could never loathe Bats since he's my favorite hero in DC Comics. I can relate to him in that I have a troubled past, although it isn't troubled as his. Sure, I don't agree with everything about him. But I'd never want him dead.

   A sociopath is bad how? Sociopaths usually hide persona's so, not to nerve that what a sociopath does has no reflection on why. Secret identities I think count. People that spend some time separated can in factor have vigilante (heroism) addictions. Its just common sense to skepticism real life to comic, sense no one is going to go mental and save a life. Question: do we have any vigilante superheroes ever in the paper? Its bias opinion to say a fiction type hero is. Lets see: hides alternative persona (multiple personalities), doesn't tell everyone his life. He may work with other heroes but sociopaths usually don't jump up in joy and preschool show the idea of it.
