"If you can't imagine your version of batman comforting a child then it's a bad version of batman."

That moment with ace will forever be one of the best and saddest moments in dc history.

Joker: "All it takes is one bad day."
Batman: "I had a bad day, too, once."

The real truth about Batman is that he's actually an idealist despite being a cynic. He wants to believe, and that core of duality between a man knows the worst is humanity but still wants to believe that even the worst person can change is what makes him a hero, which gets lost a lot in adaptations and even in the source. Batman doesn't kill because he's afraid he'd just start killing, but because he may be vengeance but he's also hope, and killing means he's given up that.

The entire reason he does what he does is because he doesn't want anyone to go through what he does

Batman comforting a scared, dying girl who only knew a life of cruel experimentation will never not bring me to tears.

Snyder asked what if Batman kills. Reeves answered why he must not.

This is why He and Optimus Prime (also Iroh) are peak comic/cartoon male characters

This is actually why I respect Batman so much. His no kill rule isn’t some naive idea, but actually based on his morals, how he knows what kind of hole you can fall into if you kill. He’s basically the idea that hope can still appear in the darkest of places. He knows what it’s like to lose your entire world right in front of you and wants to make sure other people don’t experience that.

Batman isn’t a hero because he had to be, Batman is a hero so others don’t need to be.

We are never going to have Batman this good again. R.i.p Kevin Conroy .

Batman and Wonder Woman would rather extend a helping hand than fist. And Batman should inspire fear in criminals, hope in civilians and admiration in his colleagues.

"Vengeance cannot change the past, mine or anyone else's. I have to become more, people need hope to know somebody's out there for them."

That moment with Harley Quinn from the animated series will always hold a place in my heart. 😊

"If you can't imagine your version of Batman comforting a scared child, you didn't make Batman. You made the Punisher in a silly costume."

"More than anyone in the world, when you scratch everything else away from Batman, you're left with someone who doesn't want to see anybody die."
-Superman, Kingdom Come

snyder so completely misunderstood these characters dawg

1:03 ZERO hesitation. What a complete boss.

Batman can't leave Gotham and will still try to save it in a never-ending battle because no one else will

A sense of compassion is what separates us from the bad people. Without it, we wouldn’t be any better.
