Hamartia
Hamartia is a fatal flaw. Macbeth's was his "vaulting ambition".
Hamartia, in Aristotle's Poetics, refers to the tragic flaw or error in judgment that leads a noble character in a tragedy to their downfall. It is a key element in the plot structure of a tragedy, where the protagonist's hamartia contributes to their eventual downfall or suffering. This flaw typically arises from the character's own actions and decisions, ultimately leading to a reversal of fortune.
Batmans tragic flaw is his paranoia and his obsessiveness.
