Batman: a reminder that one bad day isn't the end of the world.

That's the thing that people tend to forget or ignore about superheroes, while yes they do beat up criminals and send them to jail they also try to HELP PEOPLE and better their lives. even the criminals who have a chance at redemption.

I love that the DCAU Batman is always willing to give people even criminals a second chance at a new life. I wish more superhero media did stuff like this.

Watching batman as a kid and as an adult are two different experiences

This man oddly enough wants me to read a poem. Something I'd never do but it's good enough that I may actually do it.

These two episodes always felt special to me. They showed a lot about what Gotham city really is and delt with how our past impacts who we become. They also showed how Batman is someone who will always help others, no matter the circumstances.

Man...I'm a little under a minute in, and DAMN. Never cease these retrospectives/opinion pieces. They really are brilliant.

I had “It’s Never Too Late” on VHS as a child, and it’s one of my favourite episodes of BTAS.

"It's Never Too Late" is my favorite episode of the Animated Series. I had on a dvd collection that had Two-Face pt 1 & 2, and "I've got Batman in my base". I enjoy all of those episodes, but Never to Late hits hard no that I'm older.

You know "it's never too late" aswell as episodes like "calander girl"/the batman issue with the mannequin it's based on made me realize something too many batman stories are missing, real, actual gothic storytelling. Too many people think batman needs to be dark but equate "dark as = gory, edgy, and only ever serial killers" when it should be dark in the way of gothic literature (the city is called GOTHAM for a reason). batman isn't an antihero he is a hero that uses a gothic lens for storytelling, and These episodes showcase the tragic stories/parables and scenarios that can be told if actually starting thinking Dark stories doesn't mean being edgy.

The ability to bring the great and hidden ideas of meaning of what happens throughout all the wonderful stories and the peacefulness you bring to making this videos. Life changing. I started with the Superman unbound and lex Luther video. The only thing I can say, thank you for bringing meaning to the nostalgic and wonderful world of storytelling.

This is why BTAS Batman is the best Batman. He takes time to help the little guy, both in and out of the cowl.

honestly, your statement on gotham city at the beginning is something i've felt for a long time, WAY too many writers just make it a [LOCATION} or go overboard and make gotham a place with serial killer on ever damn corner. (that story line where jim gordon's son is also a serial killer was basically the point I went "ok now this is just ridiculous"). it makes it to the point you ask why the hell is anyone actually living in gotham, you can say "well they don't have any other choice" ou're telling me living their is in any way better/safer than being homeless in central city? TAS did the smart choice and have most of the crime problem be more organized crime based, with mafia, gangs and things that are present but can be hidden (even characters like joker act more like mob bosses than just mindless killing entities) so you buy more the idea that families and people could live here without feeling ridiculous.

Yoda" we are what they grow beyond"

Thanks for all your great stuff

This is Great of a story that we never knew!!!

I'm so glad you keep making these! I listen to them when I workout!

Of all the Batman episodes, this was the one that hit me hard in the feels

And even if I say, It’ll be alright

This episode actually talked about drug addiction. TV's changed drastically since then, this would never get past censors today.

Not sure if I should be embarrassed that I need a smart person like Trauma-man to explain these deeper themes through the cartoons of my youth so I can understand them, too. OR if I should be impressed that Implicitly Pretentious is able to extract such lessons from said cartoons. Both...both is good, lol. God helps us all whenever he finally starts breaking down popular animes to continue the work. Thanks for sharing your insights Leo. Cheers! PS: I recognize that mystery song in the description from one of the Musical episodes of The Magicians, but it likely deserves more respect than that. :D

Love your videos man keep up the good work

In the comics zer in are has taken over Batman body and i think that Batman has to stop think ing Bruce Wayne died that day he has to think that Bruce Wayne did not died that day Batman has to undig Wayne body and he is alive

3:54 I can't see through my tears

I literally just watched this episode for the first time it’s right after the two face episodes

Just wanted to say I love your videos, thanks a lot ❤

That intro thi

There's a batch of early episodes from BTAS that are similar in which the stories are on par with live-action tv dramas

Yeah this episode and "Joker's Favour" are highly underrated

Yeah I can relate to that

SUPER NICE

It's starting to rain

I think the misspelling was purposeful for authenticity of local news.

🤔 I like you. You get it

I remember ep born 95

Why couldn’t he rehabilitate the Moroni family?

I’m surprised you don’t have a video on The New Frontier movie

yeathe re uplaod

When i was little i watched this show, but couldn't really comprehend what i was watching sometimes. I always think about bits and pieces that i remembered, and that i liked it. I recently watched all the episodes of BTAS again, and i honestly think i remember like 80% of it all. But this show still holds up, very well. It sometimes is much darker than I remember It being though.
