"Those mobfuls want you gone so things can go back to the way they were."
Like Neal said, Batman and Coriolanus are one in the same kind of character. They are heroes in there communities, but at the same time alienated from their people because the people fear that they can't trust them. The people are hypocritical of Coriolanus because here he is, fighting for Rome, risking his life, and he is getting nothing in return. They were already planning to throw him from his seat of power while he was ready to go fight for his country. The citizens can't even give him the respect he clearly deserves, making him an outcast.

"Oh, come not near me, sir; I shall defile you.
I am that of your blood was taken from you
For your better health. Look no more upon't
But cast it to the ground regardlessly;
Let the common sewer take it from distinction.
Beneath the stars, upon yon meteor
Ever hung my fate, 'mongst things corruptible;
I ne'er could pluck it from him. My loathing
Was prophet to the rest, bu ne'er believed;
Mine honor fell with him, and now my life."
(The Changeling V.iii.158-67)
