At least, according to E. Paul Zehr. Zehr has a book coming out called Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Superhero. In it, he posits the actuality of someone becoming a caped (or non-caped) crusader.
It's an interesting premise, to be sure. Though I'm sure I won't be buying it new, I plan to troll Amazon for it in a few weeks, as I think it would be an entertaining, albeit for the "little geek" in me.
Until the release date, you can whet your whistle on the following interviews with Zehr.
