Honestly wouldn't call it sappy. Seems more grim than anything else, the realization that the person you are and the powers you wield will make it so that you sacrifice everything. And not because some force is pushing you to it but simply because that is the kind of person you are and so you engage in self destructive behaviour for the good of strangers and the overall good of society.
It is a tragic and grim realization that, in this case, only bolsters the hero's convictions to do what he believes to be the right thing. To sacrifice himself for the betterment of others and society as a whole no matter the personal cost.
It's always tragic when heroes don't get a happy ending but a very real depictions of what happens to many of the people we can consider heroes.
That is true and never being able to rest. Look at Batman. Even in Batman Beyond he was still fighting crime in a different way despite his age.
