If Batman has AS, then Caledon Hockley is the king of the Zulu's.

Well Tim Burton is a confirmed aspie so I would assume he may have put some of his qualities into Keaton's portrayal of Batman/Bruce Wayne.

What the hell does that have to do with anything? If I had the money and the physical strength like Batman I would WITHOUT A DOUBT become a vigilante as well as would many other Aspies I would imagine.

Perfect job for an autistic, isn't it?
Get to be a loner, not very talkitive, can disappear when you need to, use the attention to detail bit to discover evidence, use the Aspie stare to spook people, and if anyone looks you in the eye, you beat the crap out of them.
Cute idea. :batman:

But no, I don't think so. He looks villians in the eye too much.

My only problem with Batman being an Aspie is his athleticism and perfect coordination. I know from personal experience that clumsiness and lack of physical coordination comes with Asperger's. Though I suppose it's possible that he could eventually become an athlete through extra hard work, just as he had had to master social skills.

No.

One of Batman's main "powers" is his ability to read people and get inside their heads. Not an Aspie.

Considering the way he treats the Robins, he might have BPD though...

I don't know about Batman, but Darth Vader certainly is.

How can Bruce be a rich playboy and have Aspergers?
Without the stereotype.

True. I think he knows about people too well. I sometimes can't even understand myself, much less read other people.

I never really liked how he treated them. I think he was kind of mean. I always got the impression he must have something, but whatever it is, it's definitely not Asperger's. Besides, he doesn't really have any special interests.

Well, he obsessively fights crime. And he's obviously a techno-gadget geek.

No way, man. Maybe only Michael Keaton´s Batman, but not the original character.
