And I found the way Batman's split was handled interesting, because it was different from the "usual" way the personality parts "separate" in Batman storylines.

I actually really liked the way they handled it in that particular storyline. They didn't use the split that he *pretends* there is-- Bruce, happy but useless and ineffectual, vs. Bats, who's the brains and the brawn and the psychosis.

It's not Batman who embodies the psychosis in him; after all, he didn't create himself. *Bruce* created Batman. I like the idea they used in the fairy-tale storyline-- that Bruce without the Batman part of himself would be an uncontrolled psychopath-- because it helps explain to me why Alfred would ever *let* Bruce become Batman in the first place.
