This guys is a pretty complex dude.
Every body knows that the Playboy, Womanizing
Bruce Wayne is an act. That playful rambunctious Bruce before his parents were killed doesn't exist anymore so he never grew to become that kind of man. Vengeance and hatred pretty much took it's place. So His whole life after that point was consumed by getting back at the people who reminds him of his tragic past.
So he prepares himself because he knows that going after such men was inevitable. He defeats his greatest childhood fear by becoming it and "Batman" is the result. So I feel the masked mysterious man of vengeance who wants to strike fear in the hearts of man is the real Bruce Wayne. But this again is my opinion. What do you guys think?....
I agree. He basically uses "Bruce Wayne" as a means of supporting Batman. Be that in gaining information or keeping Batman funded, Bruce is almost another tool off of Batman's utility belt. Very nice art too!
