Tony is a person with flaws, a complicated life, an addiction, a board of directors, and actual feelings in addition to being both a super-genius and, well, saving the day as Iron Man. Needless to say, I'll take the one that feels like a real person over the one whose function could easily be assumed by a robot.

Bruce Wayne's personal life is downplayed a lot in the Nolan films, but Bruce Wayne's doofier side is played up more when he's played by Michael Keaton (the 1989 movie, and why Batman is one of the darker superheroes nowadays instead of still wearing white eyebrows on his mask) or Kevin Conroy. You shouldn't judge his entire character just on one interpretation. Nolan is good at doing things with plot and motivation that we're not used to seeing in superhero movies, but he's not actually the best at character writing.

But the first Law of Robotics is that no robot can harm a human being, or by inaction allow them to come to harm- Batman just refuses to kill people, and in the case of movie!Ra's Al Ghul, he does take the course of inaction. He also has a board of directors to deal with in the first film, and if he had no feelings, he would assimilate himself along with the rest of the shallow Gotham elite, not caring.

If you watch BTAS, there's a few episodes that entirely circle around normal people, or people living (seemly) normal lives. So I wouldn't write off DC hating dealing with people's real lives entirely. (See The Gray Ghost)

If someone acts silly and then does horrible things, they stop being silly to me. In that moment, Joker stopped being silly and became an even more unpredictable Mr Blonde. YMMV, obviously.

The thing is, you're setting this up as a 'Iron Man is totes better than Batman' thing, and that's super easy to get into wank territory over, when I like both of them (or at least Tony from Iron Man 1. 2 didn't really spark my fancy, and I haven't seen Avengers yet).
