To paraphrase Red from OSP: "If you can't picture your depiction of Batman comforting a dying child, you do not have Batman, you have The Punisher in a funny hat."
This is a blatant misunderstanding of the punisher. Read punisher max
@@paulakroy2635I agree. Even if you just know his backstory or watched the Daredevil Netflix series, you’d understand what that man’s been through.
Osp?

Overly Sarcastic Productions
@@paulakroy2635 Punisher Max is everything wrong about the Punisher. The Punisher isn't supposed to be a psychopath that enjoys killing and just uses the death of his family to justify his actions. That one story where Frank tears the sticker of his skull off the car of cops that are fans of his and berates them saying that them repping his symbol is wrong and reminding them that they are supposed to be better than him and what is what the Punisher is supposed to be.
"I am compassion.
I am the light.
I am Batman."
Batman for the Indigo Tribe.
- Batman may symbolize fear.
- But his one hope is admirable.
- And he has the will to create a hopeful world for everyone else.
- But few realizes the wrathful heart that he has molded within himself.
This is truly the knight of light.
TCM Productions super boys gay
true, I think batman just too much of a good guy to say that about himself.
Chills.
Let's not forget the episode where Bruce was working for a homeless kitchen and noticed all the homeless people where missing, he took it upon himself to investigate, risking his life and identity to save people no one cares about. On top of that he even offered them all jobs so they can reclaim their lives.
This video is exactly my view on our favorite Bat, and I couldn't have said it better myself.
Also that message Kevin sent you made me cry my eyes out, especially after nearly loosing my Father a few months back, we truly don't deserve this Saint of a man.
Kevin Conroy is such a wholesome, caring guy.
Kyle Hyde “How does it feel to be Santa Claus? Because that’s what happened there.” That was beautiful.
He really is, i had the pleasure of meeting him 3-4 years ago.
He really is, Kevin IS BATMAN and just a pure LEGEND!
Let's simp Conroy
This comment hits differently now
Something I've noticed while watching the Animated Series is how Batman treats Two-Face. In ever instance I can remember, Batman calls him Harvey whenever he's talking to him. He's constantly trying to bring Harvey Dent back. The upstanding guy that was doing important work for Gotham, and his old friend. He sees his friend in a bad place, and that's all he sees. His friend.
And there's also him hoping and promising that Dent will eventually go back to the light and sanity... but alas, unless we deem Fatal Five as truly part of the DCAU, it appears his wishes just weren't guaranteed, which makes it all the more sadder.
@@michaelandreipalon359but he never gave up. He fought for his friend till the end and while it may not have enough to save Harvey I believe Batman inspired others to keep fighting and seeking help. He was never shy about calling two face Harvey in front of others and probably stated that they are friends and if Batman still believes that harvey can be saved then maybe anyone can be helped.
That message from Conroy was incredibly touching and almost made me cry.
"It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you."
It’s a quote from Batman begins
We are bat man
I remember when I met Kevin. It must’ve been Megacon Orlando 2015. I told him that he was MY Batman, how even when watching a different Batman series with a different actor, I always knew it wasn’t Kevin. I got his autograph, and in the most knee-shaking nervous voice, I asked him “Mr. Conroy, can I hug you?” And I received the biggest bear hug imaginable, a single tear dripping from my eye. I then spent the rest of my money on a Play Arts Kai Arkham City Batman figure. I went back to Kevin’s line, and I apologized as I knew it wasn’t fair, but I told him that I no longer had any cash, and that this was my first ever Batman figure, and it’d mean the world to me if he could sign it, and then I heard him say “Do you want me to sign the figure, or the box? Hey, do you want blue ink, or black ink?” And that was easily the greatest day of my life.
I won't lie, I almost teared up reading this.
"I'm going to die."
"I'm sorry."
What else could he say? Ace is a telepath. And a paranoid one.
Such a simple yet effective scene.
That's rough buddy
He in fact did
The personalized message made me choke and sob openly😭💀 why is Kevin Conroy/Batman such a person/character such a being that hits home hard? 💜
Exactly! Joe Chill gave him darkness, but his Doctor Father taught him respect for all life and his Philanthropist Mother taught him his compassion.
Batman exists so no other child suffers like him and that above all is what his crusade is about. Not just justice or vengeance. Compassion is why he took in Dick, Jason, Tim etc. It's why he's a hero not an anti-hero. I just wish more people would know that.
Edit:
And it's not just the DCAU (heck Bruce is still on the meaner side of the huge spectrum of Batmen here, at least in TNBA). Batman: War on Crime, DC New Frontier, Grant Morrison and Scott Snyder's Batman, even Tom King's Batman in I am Gotham, and even recently, Detective Comics #1017 by Tom Taylor, all show Bruce's compassion for others, especially other children suffering pain of loss or loneliness or former criminals and people in poverty.
Well said. Totally agree.
RCBM Mines The CW said Batman existed so Bruce could play by his own rules...and that’s when I stopped watching the first episode.
@@l_rob420 and proceeded to kill him off
Edwin Langit Wait he died? He’s supposed to have made like a dad who went out for milk an dipped!
Too bad nobody told Tom King that before allowing him to write 85 issues of Batman that completely missed the point.
I think I replied to that Twitter post where I pointed out that Batman's entire reason for existing is borne out of compassion. Some people look at one aspect of a character they like, and think that's all the character is.
As an aside, I've heard people say they don't quite get Baby Doll before. What some might not be aware of is, Baby Doll is very loosely based (intentionally or not) on a real person. In the 80's, there was a sitcom called Webster which featured a then 12-year-old boy playing the part of a 5-year-old orphan. He would continue to play that little boy until he was 16 and never grew more than a few inches his entire life.
He didn't become a super villain, but he never did much acting outside of playing other children or just himself as a guest star. Audiences at that time, at least the older kids, would have picked up on that reference.
Emmanuel Lewis is that actor. Another actor w/a similar condition was the late Gary Coleman.
@@acsound Coleman's growth was stunted because of a kidney disease, however, and the medicine used to treat it. Lewis' usually insists he has no underlying medical condition.
I always thought it was a Mary Pickford reference. She didn't have a medical condition, just a youthful appearance that got her typecast. She almost wrote in her will that all her films were to be destroyed upon her death, had not Lillian Gish convinced her out of it.
@@kaitosalem4391 It's possible there's some inspiration there, too. But the parallels to Webster are much more similar.
Batman is the Ultimate bad ass. He puts on the cold mask, but in reality he is a really compassionate person. That is also why he has the Robins
Okay....I lost my grandfather this summer and hearing Kevin say that.....is true. Mattie be strong we are here for you.
I'm sorry for your loss. I have no doubt, that your grandfather is in heaven now, enjoying the beauty and perfection of heaven. We'll all be reunited with our loved ones someday.
comment about your bookshelf: it's well organized
(feeding the algorithm)
Very well written video here. It always bothers me when people think Batman has no compassion for others. I think you guys have done a great job in expressing Batman’s true feelings.
Well to be fair there's not just alternate versions of Batman written differently but they also written different aspects of what Batman should be.
I teared up hearing Kevin Conroy's message for you...he is amazing...I love him so much.
Batman has been a role model of mine since I was a little girl in elementary school picking out justice league movies at a nearby Blockbuster. Since then, I've fought suicidal tendencies, gender dysphoria, the loss of aunts and uncles to cancer and other things, the loss of each of my personal pets, and only having myself, my religion, and these shows to rely on. These shows are a gift ♡ nothing makes me smile as much as they do. Thank you Kevin, and thank this amazing Universe for being possible.
Stay strong, Cyn. We’re here for you. 💙
Thank you both ♡♡
Damn, stay strong Cyn! I have no doubt that the loved ones who've passed are in heaven now, enjoying the beauty and perfection of heaven. We'll all be reunited with our loved ones someday in perfection.
@@tornadochaser2457 Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words
@@fox7378 Happy to help! 🙂
Omission: the episode wherein Batman lets a rookie gangster who accidentally almost killed him take the credit so he could be perceived as a badass in prison.
WHAT IS THIS FROM!!
Nerd King 101 Batman TAS : The Man who Killed Batman.
sid the squid!
That’s not an omission. It’s just something you wanted to add. Please learn the difference
@@MegaZeta No, it's an omission because it was something that happened within the show and it was skipped over, forgotten, or ignored.
I needed this video today. This week has been so hard for me, between the dysphoria, dysmorphia, depression, and everything else, I really needed this. Thanks Mattie.
LordRavensong that is a lot of letter d’s
While people always envisioned Batman as this dark, gritty, edgey, and maybe even violent character who punches out criminals indiscriminately. And they are not wrong entirely, Batman is all that but he’s more. Most people forget how compassionate and kind he is, even for his enemies, Clayface, Two-Face, Scarecrow, and even Joker, he still strives to help them if he can. He puts on the mask to fight crime so that no one else will suffer through what he did. This also extends to the mainstream comics from before and after the DCAU, what separates him from Punisher and Rorscach, is he is driven by a sense of Justice not purely anger. Not to say other interpretations of Batman like the Dark Knight trilogy, BvS, and Frank Miller are wrong but they focused to much on the dark and not in the light in Batman. He is both, it’s why Batman is still my favorite superhero of all time and everyone else at number 2, the scene with Ace cementing that. He cares, he’s compassionate and good(not always nice but good).
Also awesome what Kevin did for you, man. Condolences to your grandmother. And now that we have a clip of Kevin saying the qoute from Batman Begins we can edit it into the scene.
He is someone compassionate and caring enough for two face to let him go
THIS
rewatching this after conroy's passing, thank you so much for this video.
“WE HAVE A SPONSOR FINALLY!!!”
I’m not gonna lie, I was expecting Raid: Shadow Legends.

I lost my father, when I was 6, and I always felt that I can't fit in because of my trauma. I was 18, when I found the Batman:TAS, after this, the Justice League cartoon, and these changed my life forever. I was a depressed, selfish girl who only care about herself, but now, two years later I finally got over my father's death with the impact of Martian Manhunter's character, and I'm learning sociology on the university in order to help people because of Batman.
Thank you, DCAU. You bring the best out of the people.
We love you, Stephanie!
@@dcauwatchtower I really love your channel, too. Keep up with the good work!
I was not expecting to cry during this video. Huh. Neat.
This video was so needed. It's everything people miss about Batman summed up in three words. The Batman moments that truly blow me away have nothing to do with his muscle, or even his genius. They're about his patience, his sacrifices, his willingness to understand where people are coming from. The dress scene at the end of Harley's Holiday melts my heart every time. The clash between his frightful appearance and his deeply compassionate actions is so beautiful. The fact that Bruce can be terrifying and adorable in the exact same costume speaks volumes about his capacity for human connection.
One of my favorite ever Batman scenes is the one from Two Face, where we cut to the Batcave, and psychology books are strewn everywhere. After his accident, most people would have focused on fixing Harvey's deformity. But Bruce's first priority is Harvey's MENTAL state. I feel this is one of the best examples of Batman's philosophy. He doesn't assume that Harvey looking like a normal person again will make him okay, just like he doesn't believe that Harley is permanently broken because she's done bad things. Life is not black and white for Batman; he may live in the shadows, but he thinks in the grey. The criminals he deals with aren't "evil". They're damaged, hurt people crying out for help, and Batman is often the only one reaching out his hand. It's why I love him so much. He inspires us all to open our hearts and think about WHY someone might do a bad thing, rather than just being mindlessly angry at "the bad guy". Alright, enough rambling haha. I adored the video, you absolutely nailed it with your analysis. I especially loved "We care about this Batman... Because this Batman cares about _us_ ." Like, damn, that's exactly it. I've never heard it put that way, it's SO true.
And I'm so sorry about your grandma Mattie, good luck with this trying time. That ending was truly beautiful, and by sharing your personal pain with us, you also shared with us an amazing perspective on this character and what makes him important. Thank you. You've used your personal tragedy to enhance the lives of others... Reminds me of someone :)
19:00 this scene had no music and the dialogue of Batman explaining darkseid brainwashing Superman still gives me chills
Bruce Wayne is a man who had suffered extraordinary trauma as young man. The entire driving force behind his goal, *the reason his dead parents have been brought up so frequently* is because of his desire to create a world where that kind of senseless cruelty would never happen to a child ever again.
He comforted that kid because he understood that Ace was someone who was going through trauma as well. *He comforted her because he knew he would be the only person to have ever done so for her in her entire goddamn life.*
Fuck the whiny incels that feel the need to morph Batman into this apathetic, stone cold badass gary stu. They fucking ruin what this character is all about, Snyder included. And fuck this guy too.
Thanks for wording it much better then I ever could.
"The entire driving force behind his goal, the reason his dead parents have been brought up so frequently is because of his desire to create a world where that kind of senseless cruelty would never happen to a child ever again."
that's retarded, and infantile beyond words. it's also both funny and unsuprising that the character who always has to be the smartest guy in the room would turn out to be so impossibly immature.
"Fuck the whiny incels that feel the need to morph Batman into this apathetic, stone cold badass gary stu. They fucking ruin what this character is all about, Snyder included. And fuck this guy too."
and fuck you! were you looking at your phone while the snyder movies were on?! you're whiny.
This is so sweet and the message is so comforting. These characters cross over and have a very real effect on people and their lives and it’s wonderful. Also, Kevin Conroy is truly a gem and we don’t deserve them.
That episode of Justice League Unlimited understood Batman so well. The DCAU was awesome.
This was wonderful, you articulated why Batman, and this version specifically, is so important to so many folks. He is such a layered complex character in the DCAU and you feel almost that he's a real person with hopes and fears, but also sympathy, and compassion. Which is something that gets missed in certain interpretations.
That Ace episode always brings the tears. I feel like since they added Damien, Bruce has gone full DadBat and there is no way to ignore his kindness. It shows all over the place now and it makes you notice how much it was there all along.
I already miss Kevin Conroy. He was such a great man.
This is unequivocally my favorite episode you've done so far. But how _dare you_ make me cry in the middle of the day!!
Ok, i made it to the end of the video. I'm BAWLING
@@mattiesavannahpahl9934 I cannot express in words my gratitude for this video. (I probably don't need to articulate how much Batman means to me; I'm here :) )
Thank you again for this video. If I could I'd frame it and hang it by my front door.
Kevin had such a MASSIVE impact on Batman that even writers like Scott Snyder implemented his compassion in his Batman. Also that message almost made me cry,man
I feel like I should point out that the moment with Ace came from an episode where Amanda Waller of all people is trying to prove this point in-universe to Terry McGinnis, the second person to take up the mantle after Bruce. Special mention to how Amanda put it to Terry: "For all that fierce exterior, I've never met someone who cares more deeply for his fellow man as Bruce Wayne." At the end of the day, Bruce isn't an avenging harbinger of fear, he isn't even the eight year old boy who lost his parents in Crime Alley; Bruce is, and always has been the man of privilege using his resources to try to make a difference because he cares about people.
This video is one of my favorites on the internet period. First and foremost batman wants to help people, and no batman better shows this than the one in the DCAU. this is the batman that will always give he hope and make me want to be a better person, thats why he is my profile picture. this video is actually kind of like a complement piece to another video called "batman does not kill" by hi top films (another one of my favorites). you guys have outdone yourselves WTDB. and yeah conroy is a sweetheart in real life, i met him once and will hopefully meet him again this summer
amazing work guys :-)
"The Batman" on Kids WB also showed The Character`s compassion and philanthropy(Mainly in his friendship with Det. Ethan Bennett,the first Clayface on The Show and Bruce`s compassion actually played a major role in Bennett`s redemption arc,his taking in Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson and comforting them in their adolescent struggles, hell in "The Batman vs. Dracula" Film he even had sympathy for Joker and Penguin after Dracula turned them into crazed vampire mindslaves).
@@AspieMediaBobby yes, that is another one of my favorite batman shows, and they did him very well, however i still prefer the dcau batman :-)
"It's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you." Such a beautiful quote.
I never made the connection between Ace the kid and Ace the bat-hound before and my heart melted
I have to question whether the twitter guy actually watched the episode. He completely ignored that Batman did have weapon to take Ace out but never intended to use it. That she could read his mind and could tell his compassion was genuine. That a murderous Batman would never offer his hand to hold to offer comfort.
The Batman and Ace scene will always be my favorite Bat Moment. It stinks that no director, not even Burton and Nolan, has ever captured the tender side to his tough side.
One of my fav episodes is ‘lockup’ as it is the peak of Batman’s compassion to me anyway as it shows that he truly cares about the rouges and how he feels about their health. And how he is willing to admit as Bruce that he made a mistake in hiring Bolton and does everything he can to make sure they are safe from Bolton. It just shows that he takes responsibility for them and not just when it comes to taking them off the streets. He feels as broken as them and wants them to feel safe (as Alfred made him) so they can grow and change and not just have the rouges see him as another Bolton. But as someone who truly wants to help them. Because Batman May be the night, but the rouges are trapped in it.
(Keep up the great work guys)
And later on the ventriloquist goes on to reform! If Bruce hadn't fired Bolton ventriloquist might have become even more disturbed and violent as a result of the abuse he experienced.
Coming to this video after Kevin’s tragic passing really makes his words said to Matty hit hard
Now I'm even more thankful that Justice League was the first DC cartoon I ever watched.
I remember when you got that message from Kevin on Twitter. It's beautiful. Made me feel the feelings.
Kevin Conroy's voice is too badass for my brain to comprehend so usually when I read Batman I have to go down a notch to Troy Baker or Roger Craig Smith
After his passing his message has more heart than it did at first.
there is a batman graphic novel called batman war where batman comforts a kid who also lost his parent's it's a rather touching moment and shows this side to his character that's constantly forgotten about by many people as well as many adaptations and even by the comic's thereselves one thing i liked about the matt reeves batman movie is how he learns that he can't just continue being a symbol of violence and decides to become of hope which instantly made it my favorite live action batman movie
Batman has massive empathy for children. He was a child when his trauma happened. So he feels for all children that suffer trauma.
And there is no way in hell that he would ever make the choice to became the gunman that killed his parents.
_Even the Dark Knight has a Bright Heart._
R.I.P Kevin Conroy you will forever be my and everyone’s Batman
I seriously need to watch these old episodes of Batman. I remember watching the episode with the Abusive Warden and how disgusted Bruce was with his actions.
Batman is loved not because he's an edgy anti-hero, but because he's a grounded paragon. A genuinely good person that we all wish we were.
"You don't understand. ...I really didn't want to leave you any clues. I really planned never to go back to Arkham Asylum. But I left you a clue anyway. So I... I have to go back there. Because I might need help. I... I might actually be crazy."
That Riddler comic should really be required reading for depictions of mental illness. It isn't always something everyone notices. Most of the time even the person suffering doesn't notice. But the signs are always there if someone takes the time to look. And the worst thing you can *ever* see is someone realizing that they're ill.
This is the main thing I’ve been hoping to see in the Matt Reeves movie. This and white eyes. Every live action version of Batman, no matter how good or how bad, have just lost this heart that made the animated series so grounded and enjoyable to adults as well as children. Nolan came close-ish during Bruce’s young adulthood when he wanted to kill Chill but realized he’s just a desperate guy (which is paid off when he refuses to execute the farmer), but it doesn’t leave half of the impact as THAT Epilogue scene. I’m usually literally in tears by the end of THAT scene.
I blame it largely on Frank Miller’s success. Every Batman has to be a dang Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry take on Batman now. Let’s have more Batman like the animated series or pre-Millerian days, I say. Not that I don’t like cold, grumpy Batman, but it gets stale and predictable when it’s all we get. For a good read that leans into this aspect of Batman’s personality, I’d recommend Batman: War on Crime by Paul Dini and Alex Ross (big surprise - a talent from TAS)
Coming here for Batman content? I think you mean Zeta Project content
I’m comin across this vid quite late but I gotta say, I agree 100%.
One of the main factors that draws me to the BTAS/DCAU Batman is how grounded and compassionate he is. So many episodes focus on him trying to SAVE someone from themselves, or prevent trauma, or stop them from doing something they’ll regret. Batman in the comics and movies might be a badass, but he often lacks that compassion that BTAS Batman does.
This video had me tearing up because this is how and when I fell in love with Batman and Kevin Conroy. This is my favorite and only version of Batman that I acknowledge, a compassionate Batman.
Edit: OMG the Cartoon Network trading cards ! You unlocked a hidden memory lol
I think the guy who said Batman would throw a batarang at Ace was Terry McGuinnes
Wrong Ace, lol.
@@BlackCover95 Idk. When Terry first meets Bruce, he probably thinks the bitter old fart would throw a batarang at anyone and everyone.
He might not think that way of him for long, but there's a time there where he would.
Adam X78 well he could as far as wanted some way to expose Derek Powers
chezwizard
Huh. Didn’t think of it that way. Good call.
It's funny, as soon as I saw this video on youtube, I thought to myself, This is totally going to be about that tweet I saw reposted on instagram about Batman killing Ace, and it was. I also knew that they were going to use the awsome line from better world's battle of the bats to explane batman's mission statement as soon as I started watching. over all, great video
R.I.P Kevin Conroy, I remember meeting him during the second year of the pandemic in 2021. He’s not just was such a very kind man… he was an amazing person.
Came here after Baby Doll. Great video Mattie, it sums up who Batman is. Man, the Kevin Conroy bit hits so MUCH differently now that he's no longer with us, particularly with that Cameo he did. On a side note, I do like the Bernie shirt and the bookshelf looks good in the background.
there are also many scenes from the comics that showcase batman's kindness such as batman risking his life to save a stray cat in "Batman: Year One", batman feeding Solomon Grundy in "The Long Halloween'', in "The Killing Joke" the joker paralyses batgirl and tortures commissioner Gordon and batman still offers to rehabilitate him. or what about his habit of adopting traumatised orphans and teaching them to overcome their trauma through saving people.
Thank you, loved this video so much that I just subscribed. I hope it gets a lot attention because I've seen these horrible takes on Twitter for a while now. You put all the research that they fail to do in under 30 mins, I'll try to share this video when they bring it up again. It kinda reminds me of the politicians in the Dark Knight Returns where our perception of Batman is divided. The only time he lost some control in the comics really was after Jason Todd's death, though luckily he found himself again thanks to Tim Drake.
Matty: I HAVE TIME TRAVEL POWERS!!! 😁...(POP)
JLU Batman: Write him a ticket!
Congrats on finally getting a sponsor
Well, that wasn't really what I expected, but I am very glad to have watched it. Way to go on organizing that bookshelf.
The scene with Ace despite being brief is a fucking tear jerker.
Goddamn! Kevin Conroy is a treasure! God bless him & your grandma.
I legit cried when I saw that clip from Kevin Conroy.
Another thing worth mentioning is that, despite voting against Hawkgirl rejoining the league, he looked after Shayera more so then any of the others once she did return. One of my favorite quiet scenes of JLU is when she sits down and simply says 'Tell me about my son.' You don't see Batman's response, but you don't have to to know.
There's this wonderful Pre-Crisis comic called the Untold Legend of the Batman where Bruce reminisces about how he got his sense of kindness and compassion from his father. That's the version of Bats I see in the animated and most other versions.
It does worry me that some modern tales depict Thomas Wayne as having been cold or an outright asshole (Damned, Telltale, Todd Phillips' Joker). Leave a good origin story alone, DC!
P.S., not just for the algorithm, I genuinely love how your shelves are arranged.

Ben Affleck's version of Batman personality is nothing like The Dark Knight Returns version at all he visually looks like him but he doesn't act like him.
DC marvel Fanboy I’m pretty zack his Batman like that so he can pretty much make him not edgy a lot of people like to overlook how batfkeck forsake his edgy ways for hope at the end of the film in a attempt to crap on Snyder
@@jagtech490 Snyder's Batman is nothing like that and his Arc to get there was a mess. not a fan of his Batman at all and that's based on the way he's written. I prefer Nolan's Batman and I'm looking forward to Matt Reeves version.
2:00 The funny thing is, that specific episode said letting the death play out naturally was the riskiest decision. He actually chose the the riskiest decision simply to comfort her in her final moments. The argument only works without the context of the episode.
Dude. That hit me hard. I'm sorry for your loss Mattie.
I can't say that I've watched every episode of any of these shows... But Batman will always be one of my two favorite superheroes, and I'm so glad this video exists.
Kevin Conroy being gone is like John Lennon in the never ending gut punch it is.
Arleen and Duane too!
Rest in Peace Kevin Conroy 😞 you’ll always be the definitive Batman in our hearts, DCAU Batman is the definitive version of the character
This was a truly sincere and moving video, loved it so much. I’m truly Sorry to hear for your Grandmother’s passing.
Kevin Conroy is one of the best people I ever seen. He’s mad nice and understanding and honestly watching that helped me out. Made me happier. Love you bro no homo. Keep making good vids.
Batman is compassionate. That scene with Ace clinched it.
I'd like to point something out about the Baby Doll episode. That episode of the series was made during a time where broadcast standards and practices was coming down on shows like _Batman: The Animated Series._ among the things you couldn't do in "kid shows" was violence against children. Now, Mary _looks_ like a child, so…
But no, that doesn't change the fact that DCAU Batman is freaking amazing and super compassionate. (:
Also… freaking _wow,_ Kevin Conroy!! If that story about the twin towers aftermath isn't _everything_ we've come to love from both Batman and the late Mr. Conroy, I don't know what it is! Rest in peace, Batman.
I #@&*% love Kevin Conroy, he truly is the Batman! And Batman is the compassionate night!
That dumbass tweet from the start is a great example of not paying attention. Ace could read minds completely, Batman couldn't have hidden malicious intent even if he tried. Ace even specifically mentions knowing about his lack of desire to use the weapon on her. She could feel his compassion and empathy radiating from his brain.
Batman related to her, as Ace mentions, and he hates that another child had their bright future stolen from them. She feels his genuine anger at her captors and sorrow for his team's inability to save her. Ace knew that Batman cared for her and wasn't going to use violence because he opened his mind up and shared these thoughts willingly.
Batman knew she would respond well because ultimately he has an unshakable faith in humanity. Where others could only see a threat to be conquered, Batman saw a scared little girl who desperately longed for connection. His gift to her before she died was understanding and recognition, and that's why he's the best.
It's all very clearly present in the scene, all you have to do is actually pay attention.
Batman is compassion. He is the living embodiment of it. That's why he's my favorite.
I..
I have to stop the video for a sec to prevent myself from laughing at the sesame street clip.
"WHY VEGETABLES, WHY?!"
but also, yes, batman is a very compassionate person, in the comics? it's depending on the writer.. but in the animated series? he's an extremely caring person who a majority of the time really can't show it because he tends to say things he believes need said at the time, instead of saying how he feels about it.
@@mattiesavannahpahl9934 it was perfect, absolutely amazing.
In Batman:The Dark Knight from The New 52 he comforted a little girl who was kidnapped by Scarecrow
Heroes get remembered but legends never die. RIP Kevin Conroy 😢 🙏 💔
Hey, just wanted to say thank you for making this video. For the past couple of years I have gradually fallen out of love with the DC Universe and, almost to an equal degree, superhero comics in general. Almost every comic anymore is less about crafting a compelling or enjoyable narrative or even characters, but more about sensationalism. Everywhere you turn nowadays, DC is trying to push a “gritty” and “mature” version of the character that loses sight of their fundamental nature. It's comforting to know that what I used to love isn’t really gone. That version of Batman will always exist, if not on the screens then in our hearts.
I teared up to this video, for the first time in however long, this is a truly beautiful video and thank you for making it
20:49 I love this story. Kevin Conroy is such an awesome person
One of my favorite Batman moments is from the first episode of Batman Beyond. Where we see an older Bruce saving a hostage from a group of kidnappers and the stress causes him to have heart problems, collapsing to the ground and forced to defend himself with one of the kidnappers gun. This is what forced him over the edge and makes him retire the mantle. A gun, the possibly he could’ve killed someone and becoming something promised to fight.
Ours too! Check out our webcomic if you haven’t yet-two issues ago we explored other events of that same night! legaciesdcau.com
I just wanted to say that this was your best video yet in my opinion and I love the channel and the content and good luck as I know how it feels as I lost my Grandmother while ago so good luck
Maybe Batman just has a soft spot for beings named Ace. (The original Ace the Bat-Hound (a German Shepherd Dog BTW) was named that before he met B&R.) I can't believe I hadn't realized they shared the same name until I saw this video. Thank you.
I'm crying now.
Thanks for that.
You know, it's your passion for this subject that truly makes you a marvel to watch. And is a perfect example of why these stories and fictions appeal. It's something you can care so much about...
Yo that book on your back shelf is pretty cool!
Fuck that message at the end from Conroy to you really hit close to home. God bless that human being
The Animated Series Batman is my definitive version of the character.
I am watching this with yet another lonely Valentine's Day looming and I thought this thumbnail was perfect for the season. (The video was kinda appropriate too.)
Thank you for making this. Also Detective Comics 1017 is a really good recent example of Batman's compassion.

The Ace from Batman Beyond may be named after Ace of the Royal Flush gang. But Batman in the comics of the '50s/60s had found a German Shepherd that had been injured on the side of the road. This dog became Ace the Bathound. The character was used as part of the Justice League of Pets with Krypto the Super Dog in the animated series for Krypto. When asked what his powers were, he said "I throw things." using his utility collar...
Oh yes, very aware of that Ace too! Purely talking in-universe continuity here
Thank you for sharing, dude. Much love.
