* IrrationalHatred: Batista was guilty, in {{kayfabe}}, of condemning people for situations where they objectively did nothing wrong on multiple occasions. Despite being a babyface in at least one of these scenarios, it actually painted Dave as being very short-sighted, selfish, and highly susceptible to having his logic clouded by rage.
** His feud with Shawn Michaels began because Batista was angry at Michaels for retiring Ric Flair. Not only was it painfully obvious that Shawn didn't want to do so, as he was also close friends with Flair, but it was ''Flair's'' idea to put the stipulation on their match that if he lost, he would retire, and Michaels pleaded with Flair repeatedly to not make him go through with it. Shawn was practically in tears for the entirety of their match and eventually did break down crying after he pinned Flair.
** He feuded with Rey Mysterio after Batista accused him of being selfish ''for not letting Batista win an every-man-for-himself match'' in which Rey was also a participant. Apparently, in Batista's mind, the right thing to do would have been for Rey to simply allow Batista to win (or even to ''help him win'') a match that Rey himself would also ostensibly, and understandably, want to win, especially considering that it was for the world championship. Also, needless to say, all four men involved were fully aware of the stipulation that only one man can win, and there has almost never been any occasion in WWE history where, friend or otherwise, anyone has ever let someone else win any type of free-for-all match.

Batista was a heel in his feud with Cena, so it's hard to call him losing said feud and quitting the WWE afterwards a Downer Ending.

* JerkassHasAPoint: While he opened the ''Raw'' after ''Over the Limit'' whining about his loss to Cena and the injuries he got from him giving him the Attitude Adjustment off the top of a car, his complaint towards Wrestling/BretHart ordering him to compete in an immediate qualifying match against Randy Orton to have another shot at Cena for the WWE Championship isn't without merits as he's obviously in no condition (sitting on a wheelchair, no less) to compete. Even Wrestling/JerryLawler doesn't dispute his complaint after he quit the company.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: During his first WWE run, after he turned face in the wake of Wrestling/{{Evolution}}'s dissolution. Batista was the number two face of the company for years, acting as the protagonist for ''[=SmackDown!=]'' while Wrestling/JohnCena carried ''RAW''. Notably, nobody was able to dislodge him from this position until he turned heel in 2009-2010, which was his last run before his first exit from the company.
* DirtyOldMan: Repeatedly accused of hitting on the younger Divas, even if they were already seeing someone (and when he was married). He even admits it in his book, stating that while other wrestlers had drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms, he had women.

** Batista's FaceHeelTurn and own eventual departure from the company in 2010 meant ''[=SmackDown!=]'' no longer had a top babyface (especially after Wrestling/TheUndertaker slid down into part-timer status as 2010 wore on). Wrestling/ReyMysterio and Wrestling/TheBigShow held the fort down for a while, but they were obvious patch jobs. Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} (after going through the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor for most of the year) ended up being his actual replacement until his first retirement, at which point the position permanently went to Wrestling/RandyOrton after he got drafted to the show in 2011.

Once it became clear that they didn't have enough top stars for Randy to have solid feuds with and carry the brand, the brand extension ended and wouldn't return until 2016, when WWE had a deeper roster to work with.

* GreenEyedMonster: The impetus of his 2010 feud with Cena. Despite both men arriving in 2002 and becoming World Champions in 2005, Cena was chosen as the face of the company with Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin even PassingTheTorch to him, something Batista did not take well. This is in addition to Cena never beating Batista.
