The Kingdom Come limited series depicts a Batman who, ravaged by years of fighting crime, uses an exoskeleton to keep himself together and keeps the peace on the streets of Gotham using remote-controlled robots. He is late middle-aged and wears an eerie grin. It is no longer a secret that he is Bruce Wayne and is referred to as the "Batman" even when he appears in civilian guise. This alternative Batman resides on Earth-22
A kind of Late Stage Batman that crops up in a few other subsequent iterations as well. A man so obsessed with fighting crime that he becomes the de facto tyrant king of Gotham City.
I remember seeing a few panels of that a while ago, but I didn't know it was playing into the "Batman who lost his way idea," though I think most of Kingdom Come focuses on that theme
