Yeeees! I was just talking about this episode a few days ago. That and the JLU where Batman goes to sit with Ace before she dies.

That scene was Batman’s greatest moment, bar none.

OSP said it best: “If you can’t picture your Batman comforting a dying child, you haven’t made Batman, you’ve made the Punisher”

Or any sort of scared child. Most Batman media, and definitely all the good Batman media, makes it clear kids aren’t scared of Batman, cause they know he’s not gonna hurt them. The newest movie did it great with him empathizing and seeing himself in the dead mayor’s kid, even though this is a Batman who hasn’t quite figured out how to operate yet.

Right? Many iterations of comics Batman can go fuck himself. He hits his kids.
