I just love how this series shows that someone with a sad backstory doesn’t have to be a grumpy asshole or knee deep in mud to be a hero.
>Is a deputized member of GCPD, and they don’t care about his identity because they feel that they owe him for his help >Has a positive father/son relationship with Dick Grayson with no fighting or punching >Actively reaches out to henchmen or villains clearly forced into crime as Bruce Wayne and offers them jobs or moral support >Expresses the hope that one day even the Joker and Penguin would be reformed >Won’t even park near a fire hydrant or anywhere that says “No parking” >Always offers to pay for any damage his fights cause before leaving
It just really makes me happy. Batman being someone of compassion and reason without gritting his teeth or dangling people from rooftops really warms my heart. His parents being killed just made him strive to be a better citizen, not just crime fighter.

No, because what matters is what we see, not what we are expected to see.

Why isn't Batman 66 a canon Earth? Can we get Adam West Batman to kick Batman Who Laughs's ass?
Do you really want it to be? Under DC which tries to destroy Earths on a regular basis?
Andrew Miller
Yes because West Batman is arguably the strongest Batman in the Multiverse, and the only one fit to kick Snyder's OC creation's ass. They wouldn't kill that Earth anyway

I like the Morrison concept that Batman has gone through phases in his career, at times being dark and gritty and at other times being light and fun. I think the timeline is >Modern age origins from Batman Year One and Legends of the Dark Knight to Dark Victory/Robin Year One >Golden/Silver Age Batman stories with Robin and Alfred. Jokers reinvented himself to become a silly clown. Batman’s become more light-hearted as a result of facing less deadly foes and having the good influence of Robin to help him >Robin goes to college, we get the Bronze Age stories of Batman living in a penthouse and meeting Ras Al Ghul >Batman gets darker in the modern age with Jason Todd dying. From here you can basically read every story in order to Morrison’s run and Batman Incorporated
