90% of Matt Fractions Batman makes complete sense when you remember Hush 2 was supposed to have come before it
(And actually the last 2 decades of Grumpy alpha-male Batman)
Because he's clearly read a version of Bruce we all hate and decided instead of ignoring it, to actually incorporate it into his story and force the character development into the opposite.
The other 10% is just him doing what he fancies because we are not in an era of strict continuity, so editorial wont protest unless it gets in the way of their bigger arcs.
