(#18) He's a Blanket Hog
In the first Batman/Superman Annual, the darkest element of Bruce Wayne's psychology has nowhere to hide: he's a blanket hog. Through a series of unfortunate events, Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne inadvertently end up on the same cruise, in the same room... with the same bed. Hijinks ensue, not the least of which is the revelation that Wayne takes all them sheets! Maybe that's why he can't keep a lady around for long.
He was nice enough not to ask Clark why he slept in his glasses though. -
(#4) That Time He Knocked Nightwing's Tooth out
So apparently Batman never studied denistry?
In Batman #7, Batman is hot on the heels of The Court of Owl's assassins, the Talons, when he uncovers a secret tying them to Haly's Circus. Suspecting that his former ward, Dick Grayson, might have been selected to join the Talons, Bruce decides that he needs to see if their seal is hidden in one of his molars. Does he ask politely to look in his mouth? Does he explain any of this to Dick first?
Nope. That's not how Batman operates.
He just hauls off and punches his friend in the face so hard that it knocks to tooth loose and it rattles on the floor. There had to be a nicer way to get that tooth out, Bruce.

(#17) When He Let Robin Fall with the Christmas Tree
"Hahahaha! Robin, you're so bad at Christmas!" should have read the word balloon above Batman's head on the cover to Batman #33.
Christmas is probably a solemn time at Wayne Manor, you know, because of all the parental murder. However, it's even worse when your guardian makes you climb a rickety ladder to put the star on top of the tree then smiles with glee as you plummet with all the ornaments down to the floor. -
(#10) That Time He Left KGBeast to Die
For those not in the know, The KGBeast is like diet Bane with a gun arm and a weird SM look. So, Batman #420 ends in an epic battle between two guys in leather masks throwing down in a sewer. Sounds like a Batman comic to me!
However, when Batman leads the Beast to a dead end, instead of going up against with the hulking top, Batman just locks the door and leaves him to starve to death. That's right, Batman essentially kills that guy. I think that qualifies as more than a dick move...
However, after writer Jim Starlin left the title, new writer Marv Wolfman snuck in a line about how Batman eventually called the police. So KGBeast didn't die - he was just made to suffer for a very long time.

(#1) That Time He Pushed Robin to His Death
So is there is no Bat-severance package?
Bruce Wayne is usually depicted more as a figure head at Wayne Industries instead of a day-to-day guy. This means he probably doesn't have a lot of experience in letting people go.
However, this is no way to fire someone. Batman, you cannot lead your young apprentice to the top of a tower, shove him to his death AND THEN say they're fired. Robin probably assumed as much all the way down. Ever wonder why Dick Grayson left to become Nightwing? Detective Comics #381 is probably exhibit one.

(#15) All the Times He Was a Womanizing Liar
Bruce Wayne has been an international playboy since day one. His freewheeling lifestyle includes fast cars, fast money, and fast sexual exploitation of women. We all know Batman cannot love another woman, but Bruce Wayne has got to get back out there!
Becky Cloonan and Olly Moss tackle this in their entry, Bruce, in Batman Black and White #6. The story features a few young socialites discussing their one-night stands with the infamous billionaire. Having sex with them or not, Bruce Wayne is still manipulating these women so that he can keep his secret identity.
