Also part of the Batman continuity, Batman: Shadow of the Bat often focuses on the characters Batman meets, rather than on Batman. These stories have a harder psychological edge and focus on the problems that the villains have. For example, some stories have focused on the Joker, Solomon Grundy, Anarky, and Scarface.

This title is much darker than Detective Comics, but doesn't cross over into the supernatural side like Batman. The artwork in this title is occasionally a vehicle for experimental artwork (almost as a trial title for upcoming Batman artists). An example of the "psychological" edge is a recent story where Bruce Wayne was accused of murdering Madolyn Corbett. If you are looking for a Batman title that is a little non-standard, but want more normal artwork than Batman and less supernatural stories, check this one out.
