However, Batman, and other big superheroes, is such an iconic character that writers don't need to spend much time on his background because most people who've heard of Batman already know his backstory.

He was also written in a time where the need of fully fleshed out characters was not in demand. So now if writers spend time on his background, it's usually to flesh out his character. What I'm saying is what works for Batman isn't guaranteed to work for you.

You keep saying that you're going to write character growth into your stories, but how you describe your plots makes it sound like the characters are simply vehicles to tell the story and nothing more.

And once again, address the fucking plot in your outline.
