so i put it to you: is is batman himself that you guys love? or the villains, setting, writers/artists or whatever? just curious

I would say that I relate to a lot of the characters in different ways. I definitely to relate to Batman on some level. Before Morrison, he was a really solitary and stubborn dude who had trouble expressing his emotions to people he cared about. I remember a time in my life when I was like that, so I can sympathize. And once you are invested in a character you want to stick with them and see how they grow, which has been one of the things I really enjoy about Morrison's run. Bruce has realized that he has people who can help him and doesn't have to do everything on his own.
