      "I have an idea for a Father-Son legacy story... but hmm... how do I make a reluctant son take up his father's legacy as Batman? I know! I'll just copy Bruce's origin! It's so simple, it's genius!"
      I really don't think it's that messed up. Could just be the easy solution to writer's block.

    I like how at the time, this was the first time Damian Wayne was ever used outside of comics, and probably one of the best since, he wasn't a jerk right out the gate... which probably isn't the best representation of him overall. Also, Alfred is a fanfic writer and a shipper, who is voiced by Avatar Roku.

  • @AussieDragoon
    @AussieDragoon 6 месяцев назад +30

    Also, this episode is partially based on Batman #131's story "The Second Batman and Robin Team". That's where "Damian's" attitude and it being a story told by Alfred come from. The differences are the Villains not being the Joker, and Robin being a version of Bruce Wayne Jr. and his mother being Katherine Kane/Wayne instead of Selena since it was written in the Batwoman era of comics, also his parents may not have died I'd have to double check. They likely changed it to Damian since he was more well known at the time as Bruce's biological son so more people would be familiar with the name and Selena for internal consistency as a love interest (and BTBATB's Batwoman's episode I don't think happened yet).

    Actually I think I might have something to contribute to the discussion. Emphasis on might. So I recently picked the first volume of Grant Morrison's JLA and I was really struck by the similarity between one of the stories and this episode. So I'm talking about issue 8 'under lock and key'. In this issue the villain The Key forces the League into strange dreams without their knowledge Dr Destiny style. And we get to see different what if's or whatever, but interestingly Batman's seems to be very similar to this episode. As in it's an older Bruce married to Selina, with a former Robin as the new Batman (in this case Tim) and Bruce's son as the Robin (in this case Bruce Wayne jr). In the brief look into this dream we get, we see that the Joker has suddenly returned and is now super old and still proposes a serious threat. Idk if the story actually did influence the episode, but i found it interesting when I read it. Even the fact that neither story is presented as real by the end.

    For some reason I watched a follow up video before watching this. So don't worry about mistakes and what not, future Sasha has you covered.

    This is so great. I always love legacy characters, and this really scratches the itch I have of, ok, the day is saved, then what? Why won’t the world move on!?

    I liked this episode. It sums up what I think all adaptations try and do. A different take on many stories. In a way, each run on a comic is some form of fanfiction.

    The guy in the top hat was the robber baron I believe he was featured in the third volume of the Batman golden age omnibuses.

    I was expecting a mention of how, in the (Silver Age I think, could be Golden Age) comics, Alfred would write stories where Dick Grayson grew up to be Batman II (with the II prominently on his chest), while Bruce's son became Robin II.

    I love that the elderly Joker is taken straight out of the Earth 2 version from Justice Society of America Vol. 3's Annual #1

    I remember the episode, but the only thing that stuck out was thinking that is a rather random story for Alfred to be jotting down. If they needed a framing device wouldn't Batmite have been a better idea.

    I am fascinated by learning Bill Finger didn't think Batman would be effective if the villain didn't die. Just thinking about that in the context of modern debates about whether Batman should kill his villains blows my mind!!!

    I could be totally off on this but my first instinct is to guess that the mystery guest at the funeral is the Penguin, Oswald Cobblepot, of all people.

    Okay the part that screwed me up with this ep is hearing Alfred’s voice. It’s literally there voice of avatar rooku and it’s messing with my brain. It’s not bad casting it’s just really funny in hindsight

    Great video! This episode always seemed so cool and interesting to me, also the new Batman suit reminds me of the Batman Knight suit Batman wore in that episode(of this show) where Batman and Green Arrow meet Merlin and Morgana Le Fay.
