      Batman has always reminded me of how Witchers are portrayed and act. Emotionless on the outside in an attempt to avoid sucky situations like this but when they happen he turns into a fluffy bear. Never emotionless, just chooses when to let that emotion out which makes it that much more meaningful when it happens.

    A beautiful tribute. It's really one of the best scenes of the character in any media portrayal of him.
    What was that old saying again?
    “Can you imagine your Batman comforting a scared child? If yes, congratulations, that’s a genuine Batman! If no, you haven’t written Batman, you’ve just written Punisher in a funny hat.”
    It's a saying i heard years after i saw this episode, but i just took it as natural the moment i heard it because the Batman from my childhood was the prime example of that.

    Batman never took on a sidekick that wasn't already destroyed as a human being. He was a hero, teaching them to not be the same monster he and all the villains were. To be better than him . To not become the next Joker. Take a thief to catch a thief, takes a monster to fight monsters, or hopefully a true hero. To a childhood hero, thank you for giving that character an amazing voice. You are missed sir. Batman truly died with you.

    This episode was by far, one of my favorite episodes, yet people will put it down (before ever watching) simply because it's animated. People are wrong because they assume animation is for kids only! Sad, because their so much talent, and story telling here... that's so adult!

    • @lstcloud
      @lstcloud Před rokem +7

      @@binder38us Honestly? Yeah, Conroy was far & away the best Batman, animated or not. That's what irked me so much about the Nolan trilogy. Christian Bale's 2-pack-a-day-man & Assfleck both tried WAY too hard to lean into "being gritty" to the point where Batman wasn't even a hero anymore, but more of an authoritarian who was thankfully pointed in the right direction for now. There was no sense of heart to him, no humility or sacrifice, and that's what is SUPPOSED to be at the core of being a hero, ESPECIALLY Batman. He's not doing it for revenge, or to punish bad guys. He's doing it to make sure no other kid ends up kneeling and weeping between the bodies of their dead parents. I don't think ANY other Batman REALLY understood that, at least not anywhere even CLOSE to as well as Conroy did.

    Thank you Kevin. ❤ For such an amazing childhood, and adulthood as well. 🙏 It’s moments in shows like THIS, where the ONE character has ZERO emotions. And, he stays with her, and holds her hand. That’s the OTHER reason he’s called “Batman”. The “Bat” is the vigilante. But, the “Man” is who held her hand, as she died. THAT is why Batman will ALWAYS be the BEST of them. He’s a person with a fancy Suit, gadgets/equipment, a car, and a fat bank account. But, he still doesn’t let that change who he is. He was there for her. And ANYBODY who’s a TRUE fan of the show, would confirm that. He may be the coldest one. But, the truth is, he’s also very warm. He was willing to give his OWN life, by going to confront her. She could have done the WORST POSSIBLE damage, and he didn’t care a bit. That’s why he’s Batman. 🙏❤

    This is absolutely heart-wrenching. My best friend of 20 years passed away last week and I'm telling you a death like this is not something that passes easily from this world.

    When your glad Batman has his one rule. No matter what. He would never kill a child.
