Batemanboy

Patrick Bateman is the titular main protagonist of Bret Easton Ellis' 1991 novel American Psycho and its 2000 film adaptation of the same name.

Patrick is a wealthy, materialistic Wall Street investment banker who moonlights as possibly one of the most vicious serial killers in fiction, as his tortures and defilements of women are described in graphic detail and may span almost entire chapters; he is also cannibalistic, necrophilic, and habitually cruel to animals.

His depraved nature notwithstanding, he embodies the worst aspects of capitalism and nearly every stereotype of 1980s yuppies through his greed, superficiality (from which he ironically accuses everyone else in his environment of suffering), and conspicuous consumption as he obsessively details virtually every feature of his (and others') designer clothes, daily routines, home possessions, and so forth throughout the novel. In addition to this, he occasionally goes off on lengthy, hollow, or even plagiarized tangents regarding subjects such as politics and popular music (the latter seemingly to himself as memorization)—most likely in an attempt to conform or to impress his peers via this contrived veneer of sophistication and contemporaneity.

As he seeks to in some way escape the mundanity of both of the lives he leads while striving to "fit in," his sanity deteriorates and his violence intensifies, while his even shallower peers and even his fiancé strangely either overlook or outright disregard his psychopathic tendencies and the obvious hints thereof, suggesting that they are as apathetic and devoid of empathy as he is. Furthermore, he is virulently racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and anti-Semitic, but he harbors bitter, violent malice towards seemingly all living things nevertheless. A nihilistic capitalist to the extreme, his consumption of invaluable life is no different from that of products.

He was voiced by Pablo Schreiber in the audiobook, who also played William Lewis in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In the film, he was portrayed by Christian Bale.
