Anybody else prefers his Batman stories...?

...to be just about Batman?

I mean, I don't want to start a debate about who is the best superhero, but not being a hardcore fan of superheros myself (I confess I have a very limited knowledge of the comics), I've always loved the concept of Batman and Gotham City because it's very different from what we see in other superheros stories. I love the darkness of the character and the city, I love that his stories involved more gangsters than super-villains, and mostly I love the fact that Batman is not really a superhero in the sense that he doesn't have super-powers (this must be why I really liked Nolan's take on the character).

This is why I generally avoid stories that involve Batman with other superheros like Superman (a character that I really dislike for being quite bland and mostly very dated in his concept, but that's just a personal point of view). Somehow I like seeing Batman as an independent universe, even if it's not the case.

And so, I was a bit disappointed by the presence of Superman in this 2nd part (and I was surprised, since I haven't read the original comic book), even if it was also pretty nice for me to see him depicted as some sort of obedient government pet.

Nonetheless, it was a great movie, but I was curious to see if anybody else felt the same about Batman, or if Batman fans are also generally fans of DC universe as a whole.
