I'd be inclined to say yes due to aspects such as his existential dilemmas (eg. how Bruce Wayne is his true "mask" and Batman is his true self), his character flaws (eg. treatment of the various Robins and the repercussions of his no kill rule) and how well each of the characters within his stories act as reflections of these elements such as The Joker, Penguin and Clayface offering dark reflections of aspects of his personality and status, Dick Grayson and Terry McGinnis being a representation of succeeding where Batman failed or Jayson Todd and Two-Face representing his failures. There's also the aspect of how crossovers with Superman allow for good comparison between their characters such as Batman representing overcoming powerful threats through more focus on intelligence, resolve and hard work (in some ways, a more moral version of Lex Luthor).
I wouldn't say it's an easy decision to make though, considering a well written version of Superman or Spider-Man can allow for phenomenal stories.
