SERIOUSLY THOUGH SHE WAS MY FAVORITE BATMAN VILLAIN
Her physical condition didn’t allow her to age
No one took her seriously as an actress
And even when she was trying to get into a happy romantic relationship (albeit with another villain) he still couldn’t take her seriously as a consenting, sexually active and romantically interested adult
That’s a lot of blows to someone’s psyche
and Babydoll is both a sympathetic villain and a formidable one
I remember this episode fucked me up a a kid.
And man, do I wish we could see this Batman again: the Batman that consoles his villains, because the majority (if not all) of them are mentally ill people. And Batman knows this and wants them healthy again, not punished and GOD definitely not dead.
Baby Doll is so underrated as a Batman villain
but her episode was perfect
Batman: The Animated Series
The story of one fucked up, traumatized little boy, doing his best to help other fucked up traumatized people.
The Batman that cares about the inmates is my favorite. He doesn’t put up with their shit, but he does try to reach out here and there and he’s as human as he can be to them.
When Harley was re-institutionalized, he got her that dress she wanted.
In the comics based on B:tAS, there was a time during Christmas that there was snow and it was Mr. Freeze’s fault, and he was making it snow because Christmas was his anniversary with Nora and she LOVED it when it snowed on Christmas, so Batman let him finish mourning before calmly taking him back to Arkham.
He never, ever gives up on Harvey possibly recovering.
Sure, Batman is going to throw punches and do what it takes to take these guys down when they’re hurting or threatening people. And he’s not going be a complete bleeding heart; he has to protect the innocent. He’s going to take them down and take them back to Arkham, but it doesn’t mean he’s incapable of being a bit human to the ones who deserve it.
Batman needs become human again
Because it needs to be here:
Remember that time a young girl with near god-like psychic powers threatened to destroy reality and the only one that could stop her was Batman because he had a previous encounter with her and was tasked with killing her to restore reality.
But instead, Batman sat with her on a swing and kept her company as the girl’s psychic powers slowly killed her.
No?
Fuck you people making me emotional
The. Batman.
This is MY Batman, not the murderous fascist they’ve made him into.
imagine appearing on screen for no more than ten seconds with only half of your face being seen and yet still manage to clearly assert the message of I am here to fuck shit up. imagine your presence being that powerful.
GDI. CLIFFHANGER!!! Orz I was hoping to see the scene from the novel but I guess it was too gory to be animated…. My WWX cravings are so bad… Literally this is the only scene where he appears and its not even a full face shot…
But omg, I can’t believe that next week will the last episode….
I NEED MORE WWX AND LWJ!!!! Orz… Guess I will satisfy my cravings by reading the novel… again XDDD Not that I really mind :3
Wei Wuxian : *gives away his golden core, gets stabbed, falls down from a cliff, possessed by resentful energy*
Jiang Cheng : [Scoffs] He’ll live.
Tbh, this is one of the reason why I really dislike Jiang Cheng.
Like yes, I get it that you lost your family overnight. All of your precious people and your home is gone. But please remember, those were also precious people to WWX. That place was also home to WWX. He lost his precious people and home too.
You know whats worst than losing something precious?
Its treasuring them and then losing them. Can you imagine the pain? Within a week, he lost his home, his beloved people and his freaking golden core. And after that he gets thrown into a hellpit.
