Published by DC Comics, 63 pages. 2000
Batman blames himself for the slaughter of a family whose father was a henchman of the Joker. Racked with guilt and losing large amounts of blood Batman returns to the Batcave where Bruce Wayne confronts Batman. The two argue about who he really is, what his purpose is, what methods he should be using to put an end to crime and his true motivation for doing so.

OK, Bruce Wayne is obsessed. There is no other explanation for his relentless, cold-hearted pursuit of justice as the Batman. But he isn't insane.
Darwyn Cooke, in "Ego," gives us a Bruce Wayne who is still new in his role as vigilante. He is insecure, which is a side of Wayne rarely seen anywhere in his long history. And he is haunted by a giant shadowy Batman caricature, visually reminiscent of Oogie Boogie from "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Wayne has long conversations and arguments with his brooding alter ego, evidence that Batman is a separate personality rather than a mask. I'll admit, it's a take on the hero I don't like.
Although the Batman entity is grotesque, the remainder of the art is fine. I enjoyed various insights into young Bruce's relationship with his parents and adult Bruce's relationships with his peers, but the psychobabble that otherwise dominated the book left me tired.
