Well its more that Batman was extremally depressed and borderline obsessed with Catwoman after she dumped him at the altar. So Batman went into an extended-ass slump that had him treating his family badly and at one point hitting Tim (which was later retconned a secret communication but still)
So the issue there is he made Batman way too dysfunctional. Plus too much of an obsession with Catwoman.
Like King is generally a good writer, but he's also one of those writers where they have blindspots around certain characters, in that case Catwoman.
