In order: Subjective, No. No, Not really, Yes and Very Yes. As I said, it comes down to choice, does the hero/villain have a choice for the path they travel. Would everyone else or close to everyone else end up going down the same path in the same situation? Use that question as a standard for yourself. Batman can choose to be Batman, numerous people have loved one die or even be killed that doesn't make them all tragic,

Batman does not have a hard life, he is Batman because punching poor people in the face makes him feel better than say fighting crime and poverty through political programs or sponsorship. Mr. Freeze on the other hand had someone else destroy his research, nearly kill his wife and essentially make him allergic to life. It all comes down to how much control a character has over their own fate. Tragedy is not just an author director or screen-writer going "Cry audience, you cry for the sad thing that happened!" That is misfortune, tragedy is a character being overtaken and consumed from every angle by those misfortunes.
