I guess this explains him having Bruce constantly fail and do things that push the Batfamily away?

>Over the years, Snyder has opened intermittently on social media about dealing with depression and anxiety and how he copes with it in his everyday life
>Snyder talked about Batman’s rogue gallery and how he never felt comfortable with the demonization itself of mental illness
>“You know with Arkham there's always been a talk of changing it to something else so it's not Arkham Asylum so it becomes something more of the punitive aspect of it. Especially since these colorful, other-worldly villains have no correlation to mental illness in any realistic way,”
>He then explained though that those kind of things are pretty entrenched in a way, but how he viewed it. It isn't that these villains themselves are extensions of any particular mental illness, but what they represent: his and Batman’s greatest fears.
>“The Joker, in particular, talks about things when he's taunting Batman about his life's work with his family, with his mission, all of it being reduced to nothing. He's just telling him that he's worthless. These are things that really repeat in my head in my own life when I'm not feeling well. When Two-Face is threatening Batman, he's not really going on about being bipolar or split personality or anything like that. He's really saying deep down ‘people are ugly and I know they are’ and so on. That's something when I feel anxious or overwhelmed by the news sometime or a really terrible story, you start to wonder about human darkness and then you start to worry about yourself and other people. I look at the villains as ways of exploring my own deepest fears and anxieties. It does allow me though to explore things I feel acutely when I'm not well.”
