5 Times Batman Was A Good Friend

[@Batman-ro9mj]

@@eobardthawn6903Aquaman probably would be the richest. But there wouldn’t really be any way to make the wealth liquid efficiently. And Ollie is rich, but not as much as Batman.

[@FlamingNinja]

Bruce/Batman is technically the richest, Green Arrow and Aquaman are close behind solely because their income isn't as high, or in Aquaman's case, Atlantean currancy isn't a known currancy. Superman's wealth isn't in money, but is his collection of items from Earth, Krypton and alien planets, however he can easily make money when needed by forming diamonds from coal. Wonderwoman's wealth in DC isn't always brought up, but she's probably equivalent to a celebrity. enough to be famous, but not enough to rival GA, Aquaman or Batman. (not including any wealth she would inherit from her mother, or even 'father')

[@bryangarcia5207]

​@Batman-ro9mj thank you. Most people just look at it flatly without realizing that not only is it hard to liquidate his wealth, but it's also hard to not get push back from Atlantis. And too much and you get an assassination basically

[@BatFlash52]

If you do a Part 2, you could have Batman attending Flash Day in DCAU’s Flash and Substance. He doesn’t have to go, but he knows it would mean the world to Wally so he does it, following his lead the whole episode and standing up for him to Orion.

[@SiriusM13]

This is the thing that some people missed /forgot about Batman, he is genuinely a very kind guy.

[@ked49]

Only 1% of the time. He has plans to brutally kill all his friends, and they require him to shot them in the back.

[@filmzindustries]

There is a 2 sentence guide for Batman that really reflects him that I will never forget “can you imagine Batman smiling at a kid, if not you made punisher in a funny costume”

[@quincysavala1297]

He’s the kind of friend most people dont want necessarily because how he expresses himself, because he Batman; but he’s the one most people need, because he’s Batman

[@comicfan1324]

1:42 I love the subtle voice change with Batman when he says “no”. Say what you will about Batman having a bit of trouble when it comes to a motions, he knew Diana would not want this getting out. It was very defensive about her privacy.

[@TheFancyUmbreon]

Out of the moments on this list, I think the friendly advice he gave to Superman regarding Superboy was the best. Superman was effectively horrified, ticked off, and possibly even disgusted when he first met Superboy, and started to push away an innocent boy who was not only trying to do good, but also idolized Superman, all because that boy was created with some of his DNA. If Batman didn't do anything, Superman would've continued pushing Superboy away, over and over again until he became disillusioned with Supes, get taken advantage of by the villains, and would've went full supervillain. Batman talking with Superman and planting that seed in his mind gave that little push to convince Superman to give Superboy a chance and help him out, give him that guiding hand, and introduce him to the people responsible for who Superman is today, and they both turned out better for it.

[@guilhermehank4938]

It's rare to see Batman telling supes to lighten up and take it easier on someone

[@ProAwesomeJr]

12:24 I think “doesn’t handle loss very well” is an understatement

[@NukaVader76]

Yeah. If he handled loss well, I don't think we'd have a Batman

[@dhruvgeorge]

I also think that his heart-to-heart with Ace was also incredible

[@comicfan1324]

Everyone loves to point out how Batman doesn’t trust anyone and will go behind peoples backs to come up with counter measures to take them down, which sure maybe he should be called out for that regardless of if it’s justified or not. But it is nice to remember that Batman legitimately cares about his teammates and friends Deep down he’s a good guy, in fact, he’s a great guy

[@TNuuv]

I do remember seeing someone point out that in the comic, Batman's countermeasures were used against the Justice League by the enemy. He was rightfully called out for it because it was able to be stolen and he also used very deep interpersonal knowledge/conversations to make it, e.g., Green Lantern saying how he values sight a lot, and his countermeasure was to magically take it away. And there was a brief moment where batman felt shame for it. he trusts them but his paranoia got the better of him

[@JDog2656]

⁠@@TNuuvit’s worth pointing out even Hal and Clark agreed with his thinking. Especially given their shared histories with brainwashing and such. I wouldn’t hold that against him too much

[@sergioaccioly5219]

Batman feelingthe need to havecontingency plans for the League have been proven justified morethan once. Between Injustice and Identity Crisis, I think it'd be irresponsible of him not to. If nothing else, it keeps the other leagues honest, knowing that there are lines they won't be able to cross. It's no coincidence that these days Bruce's main source of Kyptonite is Clark himself. Both ofthem know the importance of checks and balances.

[@djnavarro3212]

2:31. When I watch this scene in the show, Kevin Conroy’s voice while singing junior makes me cry

[@moonbeamsun9066]

One of my favorite Brave and the Bold moments is when Batman found Billy Batson (Shazam)‘s biological sister (whom had been separated from him and adopted) and reunited them so Billy could have a family. It was so sweet and heartfelt.

[@TheFancyUmbreon]

I love his cover of "Am I Blue", as well as the whole scenario in which he was forced into performing it, and just wish it went on longer. Kevin Conroy did a fantastic cover years later, but it wasn't as slowed down or deep as the version in the episode, kinda like if Bruce Wayne was singing rather than Batman singing.

[@iceluvndiva21]

Something that always makes Bruce so special to me - More often than not? He doesn't show he cares in grandeous ways. He dose small things that make a huge impact.

[@Double_D__]

I cherish moments like this, it's when the kid who lost his parents gets the chance to heal, and get to experience the childhood and even humanity he thinks he could never have. It's why he and Clark are basically brothers.

[@spin6872]

Not gonna say first or oh you fell off I am just gonna say, I love the moments where Batman is shown why he’s human and not why he can fight godlike beings

[@sivanlevi3867]

Batman is one of my favorite heroes because of these rare moments. Sometimes, he doesn't even need to be friends with someone to be friendly, like in the Justice League episode "Injustice for All" when he shows a little sympathy for Cheetah and Grundy after their teammates treat them less than human. He's just that great.

[@dezaina9961]

2:44 made me happy to hear Batman can sing. Truly not surprised he could sing but more so he had a great voice. But hey, Batman can do anything he sets his mind to.

My favorite best friend Batman moment is when he goes to the Flash Day ceremony because he knows how much it would mean to the Flash.

[@sz_b_zstechnix7523]

I wanted to mention the time in JLU, when Bats, ww and Green lantern traveled to the past, then future, meeting Hawlgirl and GL's kid, Warhawk. The aftermath of only them two remembering it all is important. Remember the end of the episode with the shadow and hawkman? Shiera sat down with Bats, and genuenly asked him about what their child was like. She trusted Bats to ask more then John was willing to tell her, and that shows he was more then trusting of her return to the league after all that time.

[@tomwilliams1268]

Batman was more then a friend to superman somethings they were like brothers and when he refused to tell the league about Diana that truly shows how important she is to him. Also another time he was good friend was in the injustice game after superman was sent to the phantom zone he helped supergirl/Kara get through it and took her under his wing.

I think you can also point to the 2004 animated series if you want to find some examples of Bruce Wayne’s good deeds (demonstrated especially by his friendship with Ethan Bennett). It’s probably my favorite iteration of Batman because his actions are motivated by the people he cares about and not simply just his childhood trauma.

[@aicarrie1]

He never really gave up on Harvey Dent/Two Face in the animated series. He was even going to pay for the operation when they tried to fix Harvey.

[@DuelingCharisma]

“Friend” is a bit of a stretch for this one, but I really think him talking to Ace before she died should make the list. For my money, that’s one of the few times we’ve seen him allow himself to be truly emotionally vulnerable in the entire series.

[@starrsmith3810]

There’s the episode with the Flash museum where Batman actually showed up to it after Flash asked him to and even gave the one guy who’s name I can’t remember a Bat Glare after he insults Flash. I always found that cute.

[@mobiusZero2]

Young justice one when Conner died made me cry

[@romerogamezjorgeluis4218]

A good Batman is one that can empathize when the moment is right And im going to say the most overused thing in comics, but just because is overused doesn't mean it isn't true "If you can't see your version of Batman comforting a child, you just drew the Punisher in a funny hat"

[@scotttrammell3913]

The version of Aquaman from Brave and the Bold reminds me strongly of Herakles.

[@aidanwilliams5435]

The following doesn’t quite fit, but in Young Justice Season 1, when he’s berating the team for their mistakes in a mission, he ends it off with “good job.” That was just unexpected and heartwarming to me.

[@marybdrake1472]

Yeah, that bat is not terribly good at expressing, but he cares an awful lot for those around him.

[@sergioaccioly5219]

The times Batman was a good mentor/ father figure in Young Justice could make a video or two. There's an episode in S1 in which he first talks Aqualad into focusing in a private chat. Dick feels excluded until Bruce challenges him to play basketball in the back of the Wayne Mansion. Twofer.

[@cygnusereve4779]

I think a honorable mention would be Batman with Ace; the little girl with psyonic powers. Batman is somewhat of realist (he will do what mist be done no matter what) but he really hopes for a better future.

[@vtbubba485]

To be clear, the League NEVER wanted Lobo as part of the team because that Czarnian rat bag is not Justice League material. When he came to the watch tower during Superman's wake, they all wanted him to leave, immediately. The only reason they had him tag along to fight the villains who escaped with Kalibak leading the charge was to give him a test run. But let's face it, they were most likely going to replace the Main Man as soon as someone more worthy of the spot he was filling in came along.

[@Wright805]

I'm not sure if this qualifies (since Robin is his sidekick) but my favourite is from the comics. Robin (Tim Drake) is miserable because his girlfriend, Ariana Dzerchenko, and her family are having financial problems and will have to move to another city. What does Batman do? He DOESN'T say "it's just a crush" or "he'll get over it" etc. He DOESN'T tell Tim to "focus on the mission." He buys the business and gives the Dzerchenkos a really good deal so that not only can they stay, they can now live in a nice neighbourhood. That moment really showed how caring Batman can be.

[@Tamus_29]

[@anhurtorrez]

I still say some of mine that should of been on here is with Harley Quine where she got out of Arkham and went shopping than things turn all wrong for her. Batman knew what was up all along and stood with her all day, or the time where Ace was dying and he stood by her side till she passed. Than there was the time where The Flash was having a celebration in his home town and Batman brought another Justice League member who just thought the Flash was a joke till Batman showed him how the Flash really was a hero. Same with Booster Gold where they fought some time traveling beast, unfortunately Batman doesn't remember it. Speaking of time travel the time he went back in time with the Blue Beatle. They shared Batmans first outing together.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Most of the time...Wonder Woman ends up with Superman because they're of very roughly equal power. But I always preferred the idea that she ends up with Batman, partly because she was totally right in JLU...she's basically completely safe from most forms of harm from anyone who'd use her to hurt Batman. The other part, is that it always felt more reasonable to me that Diana would pick not some superpowered munchkin...but rather the one guy (aside from Arrow) who is absolutely nothing but a plain-jane human...and STILL regularly goes toe-to-toe with near-literal gods...and at least holds his own if not outright fucking WINS...every time. I always felt that given her warrior culture background, and her implied sense of justice, Batman was always the most logical choice for her. He's a true hero...doing what he does not by dint of special powers and some perceived obligation to use them for good...but because he believes there's not enough genuine justice and charity in the world, and he's putting forth his own effort and skill to do everything possible to change that. Others become superheros because they can and/or because they believe they must. Batman CHOOSES to do what he does, and he works goddamned hard at it. He does feel some compulsion because of what happened in his childhood, but he still fully knows he's making a choice, not because he has to. It just seems to me that Diana would be more respectful of everything Bruce has had to do on his own to achieve what he's done. Yeah, he's rich, and that absolutely counts for a LOT of it...because he probably wouldn't have had the opportunities he's had, otherwise. But there are a lot of rich guys in that world, and our own, who don't even get within VIEW of being as awesome and accomplished as Batman. And I fully believe that WW is someone who'd recognize and appreciate that more than anyone else. Additionally...Batman is the reason I've gained the perspective on fear and pain that I've developed over the years. Fear and Pain are not diseases to be eradicated, or enemies to be conquered, or illusions to be ignored. Fear and Pain are more like overbearing friends who worry about our well-being far too much. They want us to be happy and healthy, but don't really understand how or why...so they freak out over every little thing that even COULD be harmful in any way. The way to deal with them isn't to conquer them, or deny them, or anything like that. We need to embrace them as friends, show them we acknowledge them and respect them, but then reassure and comfort them as we would anyone consumed by fear or pain. Fear and Pain aren't conscious. They're over-concerned friends, but more like a couple of really anxious dogs that can't bear to be without us. They need to be treated the same way. Embraced with care and calm. I learned that because of the nature and purpose of Batman, and how everyone else deals with him (when they successfully deal with him, anyway). While Flash is much more the humanitarian in the JL animated shows, Batman fully agrees with his perspective once he gets to know it. He doesn't simply want to punish criminals, he wants to help them improve their lives so they STOP being criminals. He wants peoples' quality of life to improve. He's just...not the best at getting that done at all times. He's a detective and a warrior...not a social worker. He's a paladin, not a saint. And the JL knows that. They do what they can (as they learn over time) to help him see past the paranoia and pessimism. They're there for him. And consequently, when it matters...he's there for them. Fear and Pain are the same way. Take care of them properly when they freak out...and they'll always have your back when you finally do really need them.
