Patrick Bateman is defined as a serial killer whose psychosis will remain unchanged, untouched and undefined by the society that is deaf, blind and detached enough to perpetuate his lack of identity.
Patrick Bateman's lack of identity and his constant drive to capture a definition of himself (a definition which the camera does capture by creating visual portraits of Patrick-Bateman-the-murderer) enables the character to feel compelled to kill and destroy others.

 Amazon.co.uk: American Psycho: Bret Easton Ellis: Books
Bateman is a handsome 26-year-old Wall Street yuppie, who spends his days listening to Whitney Houston and working out which exclusive restaurant to eat in and what clothes to wear in a dizzying parody of 1980s consumerism run mad.
I think it is a common and understandable mistake to assert that Patrick Bateman does not "actually" kill in the book, and to cite as evidence for this the fact that no one is reported missing after their deaths, and that people Patrick has supposedly killed are spotted at parties, etc.
So when people tell Patrick they have seen his "victims" alive and well at restaurants after their supposed deaths, the suggestion is that they are truly dead, but will never be missed because they were never identifiable or memorable individually anyway.

 DVD Verdict Review - American Psycho
As a mergers and acquisitions predator during the heyday of the 1980s, Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) wears outrageously expensive suits, eats the most pretentious meals at the trendiest of restaurants, has a beautiful and wholly superficial girlfriend, Evelyn Williams (Reese Witherspoon), and takes obsessive care of his physique and skin.
However, this is only a minor complication, for Bateman continues to exploit his steely nerves and unerring luck to elude entrapment even as he continues his depredations.
His body language and delivery create a fl humored Patrick Bateman, but with such arrogant self-aware irony that it is hard to take the film seriously even as we see Bateman commit wanton acts of cruelty and abhorrent violence.

Good looking yuppie boy Patrick Bateman (Bale) has everything going for him: a cushy job, lots of cash, great suits, a hot girlfriend and a hotter mistress.
Patrick has many hobbies: He loves music, going to clubs, charming the ladies, kinky threesomes, cocaine and of course...killing, mutilating and beating innocent people.
Patrick knows his music, his fashion, his restaurants…he knows everything that society forces us to know…but he doesn’t have a clue about the basics of human existence: feelings, love, conscience or reality.

Or take the prostitute Bateman calls "Christie," who, even though she has been badly injured by a drill-wielding Bateman in the past, hops back in the car with him when she sees how much money he is offering her.
He's playing a character whose actions are virtually unfathomable, so rather than try to make the character compassion-worthy, or believable, he embellishes the brushstrokes of Harron's caricature, smiling winsomely at the camera as he stalks another unknowing victim or whoops it up rodeo-style as he engages in a (tastefully edited) three-way sex scene.
Despite the shallowness of Bateman's supporting cast and unseen neighbors, it really is too much to fathom no one hearing the bloodcurdling screams from inside of his apartment, or noticing the trail of blood forming behind the heavy luggage he's carrying out the door.

 Serialicious-Patrick Bateman-Spout
Having read the book, the only problem that I have with the movie is the wish that the filmmakers had incorporated more of the novels disturbing moments and biting critique of the New York elite (not that it wasn't present in the film, just that it's more pronounced in the book).
Completely unrelated to the Bret Easton Ellis novel, American Psycho 2creates a fictional backstory to the original film and casts a young girl as a fledgling serial killer attempting to outdo Bateman and become an even better killer.
Despite hating the way the film manipulated the Patrick Bateman character to serve its own interests, there is a stupidly entertaining side of the film in which it seems to recognize its B-movie qualities and goes with it.
