I do want to point out, important to this discussion, is that much of the history of western fiction is built around the ideas Seph is spouting. Take that, villain! Go protagonist go!

Thats why its important to call out these ideas for discussion and dissection. Theres an obvious disconnect between feeling pleasure and causing pain (kinks aside) that needs to be self-analyzed when you realize that youre connecting them.

Interesting point. There are, at the source of the character, two Batmen. There's the Frank Miller Batman who starts smiling when he confronts Superman because he knows that, aside from being right and Superman being wrong, he's going to get in a fight. That Batman actually derives pleasure from fighting. And then there's the more traditional Batman. Batman a solitary knight who feels called to protect a city because he believes it's the right thing to do. One of those on the surface is much more noble than the other. One is selfish, the other is purportedly selfless.
