    Batman does care which is why a lot of the newer ones not caring that much hurts.
    The animated series showed him using his money to help people, to build halfway homes to help former criminals change their life around, to have the man in a bat costume sit on a swing with a dying girl.
    A dying girl that could end the world, kill everyone, and ending her quickly would make no difference in the end than letting her die naturally... And yet he sat on the swing with her and stayed with her to the end because it mattered.
    Maybe not to the world, not to those around them, or even the end result... But it mattered to her and thus it mattered to him.
    Compassion was his greatest strength you saw from time to time... It is a shame it seems to be viewed as a weakness or something to be mocked.

    My favorite part of this moment with Ace is how it reconstructs Batman's code. With all his other villains, there's a constant moral conflict to how Batman's refusal to kill them indirectly leads to far more death. But by refusing to kill Ace, he helps her find peace in her last moments and saves millions. It goes to show there is a point to sticking by his code, if anyone else had gone through with Waller's plan the situation would've been far worse.

I hope that they'll continue with Robert Pattinson's Bruce/Batman working out his more compassionate side in future movies as an overarching theme and continue to use lesser-known/less-spoken-about Batman stories that can challenge him to work on his compassion more - like maybe they'll adapt the Hush storyarc, or Baby Doll gets more of a future role for a change.

    People often dismiss the episode because of Terry being related to Bruce but they fail to see that even without that connection, he still put on the cowl and he decided his destiny on his own. The conflict is how he feels about being Bruce’s seed and what that entails for him before ultimately coming to the conclusion that there’s always a need for a Batman but the wearer does always have to bow down to the mask like Bruce had done.

    You know, everyone talks about Epilogue, and they talk about Batman, and Ace, and Terry, but what I don't hear people talk about is this was the best Amanda Waller we probably ever got or ever will get. Cadmas was originally supposed to be the clear bad guys, but the writers realized while they were doing bad things their intentions of having weapons against literal gods was not a bad thing.
    Nowadays, Waller is just the most toxic person in modern depictions. This old age Waller who would actually comfort Terry for what she did but still stand by it? We'll probably never see it again.

    "I had a bad day too once..."
    Harley answered: "Good guys like you shouldn't have bad days."
    He understood, and Harley in her addled state of mind showed genuine compassion for his efforts.
    Ace was having the ultimate bad day, and Bruce was there doing what her could.

He’s the representation of the phrase, “ I wouldn’t wish this pain on my worst enemy” and it shows because he has compassion for even the most vile criminals.

    But yes we all like a badas Batman but we need the Batman that offers his hand. Why beyond hating the actor for a few reason, I refuse to count Hackflex as a man to don the cowl. The version Zack Snyder used is a childish bully. Kevin knew the weight Batman carried and how his goal was no child suffering in fear and lose. The way Bruce talks to young Richard when we see Robin's origin story is great for that. And how Alfred reminds Batman that maybe what young Dick needs isn't Batman but the kindness of Bruce.
    Young Justice got it a bit too with Batman wanting to avoid Dick being like him.
    And even Lego Batman a story I like but don't feel it's a great Batman learns kindness.

If Paul Dini or Dwayne McDuffie (RIP) had written the scripts for the DCEU movies, and all Snyder had to do was direct, it would be brilliant. Snyder is great at putting together visuals.

He sat down with her until her time came, and yet, the world was saved in the end. All because of Batman's compassion to Ace.

I always said that "one does not need to be blood related to a hero someone to be a hero on their own." Why couldn't Terry just be a nobody? Just a nobody with a strong sense for Justice and bravery to stand up for what he believes in? That is what makes a hero. Not being a clone of someone. I think Batman of the Future was an excellent series and it was Terry's show I hate that he got downgraded in the ending of JLU epilogue.

    Many readers get it wrong and think Batman is a symbol of vengeance, which is wild to me.
    Batman is a symbol of hope. Not just any hope, but a beautiful, irrational hope.
    To the people in the DC universe who do not know Batman is Bruce Wayne, Batman is a symbol of vengeance, and Batman clearly cultivates this perception.
    But the reader (and certain comic book characters) know that Batman is also Bruce Wayne, and thus can piece together that the vengeance thing is an act and that he's really about hope. Or as you put it, compassion.
    See, Bruce Wayne is a successful businessman. A critical skill for any businessman is knowing when a particular project or even department is a lost cause and shutting it down as quickly as possible to avoid losing too much money. Failure to do this will result in a swift trip to bankruptcy court. You have to know when something is just not going to work out, and stopping the bleeding as soon as possible by getting rid of it. So we know that Bruce Wayne must have this skill. He would not have so much money if he did not have this skill.
    And yet, Bruce Wayne spends millions of dollars trying to redeem the most irredeemable villains in the DC universe.
    He has to know that trying to reform those particular villains is extremely unlikely to be successful, and yet he spends substantial amounts of money year upon year upon year trying to do exactly that.
    The people in the DC universe only know about Batman obsessively attacking those villains and dragging them back to prison or Arkham Asylum over and over and over, so for them, Batman is a symbol of vengeance. But the reader sees Bruce Wayne spend all that money trying to redeem people that he should know are irredeemable.
    He is an atheist who is obsessed with the idea that everyone can be redeemed.
    Like I said, he's not just a symbol of hope, but it is a beautiful, irrational kind of hope that will never bend to reason.
    That gives a lot of context to his rule against killing. He cannot bring himself to kill anyone, because it is always possible that the person he killed could have been redeemed and/or cured of their mental illness.

    I wish the live action media understood this. I really hope James Gunn can give us this version. He seems to be on the right track with Superman, so fingers crossed. Yeah, he can be dark and gritty, but if you don't balance that with the empathy and compassion, he becomes boring. One of many reasons why I dislike the DCEU, and the Snyderverse specifically. He did both Batman and Superman so badly. And Wonder Woman.

    My problem with this depiction is the fact that comics are very very long and often have tons of stories that can be contradictory....
    Saying Batman is one way or another is very shallow because there have been so many depictions and so many comics and shows and movies that his mythos and legends are kinda out there....
    Like, maybe the main Batman YOU grew up with is one way.... but saying Batman is only that way feels too shallow...
    Some versions of Batman comforted children, some didn't care... all were Batman...
    Maybe not the version YOU grew up with.... but still Batman....

    I always admired how the animated Batman was too. Whenever I felt cheated or angry at the world I would think maybe I should just give up and be the bad guy since it's so much easier. But then this character who not only had every excuse to be a villain decided to be a hero instead. Still giving his everything even for the ones that give him grief and trouble. It kind of gave me the strength to not fall into the darkness til I eventually became a cartoonist :D

    honestly i much prefer his compassion being the reason he never kills over his paranoia.
    the man knows the absolute value of a life and couldn't bare to inflict the pain onto others, cause even if the villains themselves deserve it, the families don't.
    obviously the jokers existance is a complete rebuttal to the ideology but that's what makes him such an interesting villain, he is the obvious rebuttal to batmans ideology and that's the point.

It's because "DURR GENETIX. LIKE FATHER LIKE SON AMIRIGHT OR AMIRIGHT DRRR"..... It's so cross eyed and stupid as it is lame. They couldn't just let it be, they just HAD to make it SO connected. Also it demeans Bruce being Batman. Stuff like this has nothing to do with genes. Batman is a meme, an ideology Bruce himself wouldn't want anyone else suffer.

    To be fair I disagree, I don't think a Compasionate Batman is the only good batman. Issue with a lot of comics is people choose to write vanilla tropey nonsense thats good for a few issues, but irritating if made a facet of a character. The Dark Multiverse proves you can remove Compassion from batman and it still be good, I think the idea that a hero must one specific thing is how we get charcters lik earely superman who are annoying boy scouts. People keep using the quote; "if you cant imagine your batman comforting a dying child your not writing batman" people love this comment and will use it till they are blue in the face to basically mock and insult the character. I think compasionate batman is fantastic, its a great version of batman but anyone who thinks he shopuld be just that, frankly shouldn't be writing cause it means they are a one trick pony. Comapssion becomes nausiating after a while and when you make it a facet you make said character nausiating.
    I think The Batman Who Laughs, The Batman that Killed The World, Thomas Waynes Batman, New 52 Batman, the list goes on. These characters all break the "Batman is always compasionate trope and do it in a way that makes them Batman but a different batman, now to play the devils advocate a compasionate batman is good cause it really makes characters like The Batman who laughs more terrifying as we see what Batman could become with a simple killing spree crime case and joker toxin. Again the quote; "if you cant imagine your batman comforting a dying child your not writing batman" fails to acknowledge the fact that comic book characters have a multiverse meaning there is no wrong answer for what batman should be. Batman is at his core justice and Vengence, even Batman when compasionate know when it's time to take a life. To which he's done mutliple times accross the DC Multiverse and the Dark Multiverese, even going as far as to kill the joker to protect Superman. I think OSPs Red is allowed to have his opinion but I disagree Batman is so much more than just compasion and treating him like a 1 dimensional boy scout is just bad writing in my opinion. A hero MUST take a life when necesary else things like what happened to Rachel (Christopher Nolan Batman Movies) will happen. There is one story i read i can't remember if it was offical or fan made but Joker made batman choose between Robin and a Bus full of children. He choses the children and Joker drops both of them before batman can act, now earlier in the story Batman had a chance to kill joker and he didn't so because of this "Compasionate Batman" a bus full of children died and he lost a Robin.

    Another point to add- that you showed, is... That assassin that Waller hired to "create the new Batman"? That assassin understood that you cannot continue Batman's legacy via breaking the golden rule. He has a few rules, that he's known for breaking on occasion- even so far as using guns sometimes. He's failed to save some others. But, outright kill? That would've later on caused Terri to flip out if/ when he learned who was responsible and why.

    In contrast the nolan batman just says sayonara and go on honeymoon with catwoman leaving gotham to a police dick grayson (no hate for the actor just the role, they should not have change dick grayson origin) and that bruce wayne is still young, not wrinkly old man and he leaves gotham under new identity and people love this batman... lol

Just ask Dick why he didn't tell the batfam the moment he came back and instead went into spiral instead and why Barbara had to track his phone across the world or Jason about the time that he beat on him harder then the joker ever got and would've been to death had Roy not stepped in, ripped off his symbol, and then messed with his brain chemistry to replace adrenaline with freaking fear gas for the heinous crime of putting a blank in the penguin's eye.

    I like the character of Naruto for similar reasons. While he's not a brooding dark knight he is someone who grew up with no parents, friends, or kindness of any kind til 12 years old. Once he got it it left a profound effect on him that makes him the empathetic character he is. He helps many characters out of that bit of despair and cynicism to be better people. Some become allies and other do one last act of kindness to make up for the wrong they did. Many also reflect Naruto as a character. Many wrong turns the hero can take but he stays the path with help of people who charmed to his side with his caring understanding nature. A real showcase of the best of what a person can be. The best of people even Naruto would 100% become a villain if not for those around him. Lot of the villains lost someone or didnt have anyone at a crucial moment that doomed them.
    Bit cheesy, a bit idealistic, even dare I say unrealistic but these sort of hopeful characters that show the good of people in a world where everyone is pretty terrible to one another really hits a certain note.

    I really hated that they made Terry a clone ( or even related) to Bruce. To me, a big piece of the Batman story is that anyone can take up the cowl. Only one of the Robins is related to Bruce by blood, the rest are just unrelated people that believed as he believed. Bruce was always just a man, not a god, an alien, or a person who gained superhuman powers through some accident. The We Are Robins comic grew on this concept and I thought it was one of the better Batman series in recent years for that reason. They really stole something from Terry by making him being Batman something that was unavoidable, it was genetically preordained.

I totally agree with everything said in this video, except for one thing, which is that Bruce Wayne had not been the true identity since his parents died. Bruce Wayne was always a playboy, which gave him the means to be able to be Batman. I think Batman himself has the humanity that you are talking about in the video.

    Batman is to me supposed to be a stoic. In the positive and compassionate sense where you understand cause and effect. That people are subject to circumstances. And that anyone could end up a slave. Or in more modern circumstances molded into a criminal. The stoic is supposed to attempt to rise above it while not expecting it to be easy or something most people can do. It's not about being a macho self aggrandizing jerk who is standoffish and shuts people out. It's also a philosophy of being analytical trying to see the big picture and understanding human nature. I prefer that Batman over the roid raging depictions you sometimes get.

    It's this. It's the idea that Batman cares. He's not Hulu he's not above anyone he is just as much in the shit as any other regular person is. The idea that he is compassionate enough in his future in what we see as now to know that he is failure of the ideology he posited. All he does is continue to protect and continue and basically just perpetuate this cycle of evil coming back from an infinitely powerful source of other evil who uses his evil and the evil spawned there within as resources. He knows that someone like Nightwing is the best version of himself, someone who is truly compassionate that doesn't respond to love with anger or derivement but instead a genuine acceptance of it a compassion that someone like Nightwing only gets from seeing more than just Bruce, from learning from The Flashes being a good person from Clark.
    A good Batman is a Batman who cares enough to know he's wrong is compassionate enough to know he's gone too far. Even though it took a lot and it was deeply sad to see in the way in which it affected his character Beyond is a very accurate representation of it. He's someone who knows he failed but in this timeline more than any other because there is no Nightwing there is no one that is the ideal. What we have now in the modern day is a bad man who has it the best he could possibly be because he knows there's someone better. He knows that he's okay with it he is proud of it. That's real compassion. Not just being nice for the sake of making people think you're nice but being nice so that you can make sure that people who are watching you and learning from you learn to be nice because it's the right thing to do. For no return and for no prize. Because it's the nice thing it's the good thing. It's the compassionate thing.

    I'm someone who does not like the fact that Terry is the descendant of Batman. The main reason for that is because the series shows that anyone can wear the cowl, and with the proper guidance and tutelage, they can take the mantle of the dark knight. But making Terry into a descendant kinda takes away those achievements, since he's basically a clone its to be expected of him to excel at being a fighter. Though I will give the show credit for how it handled the retcon so I won't be too critical. But that is something I do believe.

To me, this is always what my favorite super heroes have ment, and batman as my favorite super hero is the peak of that, a normal man useing everything in him, good and bad to ultimately do good even in a world of literal gods like super man and wonder woman, he stands shoulder to shoulder with them as beaken of hope and justice.
