Completely agree, he's my favorite batman villain, the fact he's a psychologist and the fear toxin could make for an awesome story (the old batman animated series made an episode that shows some potencial, i just wish they would give Scarecrow his own movie and focus on him using Bruce's trauma as his weapon, some writers tried something similar with Joker but it's not the same, everytime i see people using the trauma against Bruce is pretty much just accidental, imagine if Scarecrow knew about it and used that on purpose, a story like that would have so much potential as long as they have a good reason for Bruce to come to terms with his trauma and not power of friendship bullshit)

Yes and I thought the idea of We are all Scarecrows where Scarecrow has a massive followers all over the world even some members of Military believe in him where one of them gave him the launch codes for the nuclear missiles but replacing the nuclear material for the fear gas so it’s up to the Justice league for this and it would be pre-Starcrossed also I never like this scarecrow design because it doesn’t look like a scarecrow and just like the Joker in the Justice league series who got redesign I think that the Scarecrow should look like the killer in the movie Nightbreed.

Does it confirm that though? Confirming that Barb is Batgirl is one thing, but to connect to Batman is a bit of another. Sure an inference could be made, but probably not anything definitive, especially if you take into consideration that fact that Barb developed a relationship with Dick and familiarity with Bruce to some degree before she knows their secret identities, and visa versa on Dick's part at least.

Dear God, I never knew about that part at the end where Jim admits to Barbara that he knows. To the best of my recollection I've only ever watched this episode the once, when it first air on WB all those years ago, and I must have either been too young or just plain too keyed up from the rest of the episode to have caught what Jim was implying. Damn, all these years... Also, as far as I'm concerned, any relationship beyond a working one between Barbara and Batman is Apocryphal at best, trolling the audience and a weird fetish by the showmakers at worst. Either way, I don't recall it happening in the show, so it didn't happen.

Gordon really was a great father in the show, and I really appreciate the way you highlight the fact that it's precisely because of the way that he gives Barbara the space and trust to make her own decisions. It's a tragedy of the Batverse that people (Bruce, Barbara, Dick, etc.) constantly underestimate how much he perceives simply because he doesn't directly address it, but that tragedy is exactly what gives space for excellent pay-offs like this one. It reminds me of the comic No Man's Land, where Gordon calls out Batman for never trusting him enough to let him in on the plan; Bruce attempts to demonstrate that he does trust Jim by removing his cowl, but Gordon rebukes him and refuses to look, because that was never the point. He strongly implies that he knows and has known for a long time, but Batman doesn't seem to countenance that Jim has his own motivations and reasons for trusting Batman for so long. It's so easy to take the people we most rely upon in life for granted.

When I watched it on Kids WB when I was little my mom made me do something right after the scene of Barbara’s funeral and I told my younger sister (she was 4 and I was 7) to let me know what happened to Batgirl cause I was genuinely shocked by what happened and I ended up missing the ending by the time I finished doing what kept me from seeing it and I asked my little sister and she was like, “Batgirl woke up.” And I was so confused and I remember thinking “…she must have woke up in the coffin?” I didn’t see the actual events till I bought the DVD cause this particular episode didn’t seem to get rerun much at all and I never saw it on Cartoon Network despite often seeing classic BTAS episodes. Kudos, to my sister for telling me the exact truth about the ending though cause as hard to believe as it was, she was right Batgirl did wake up after dying.

It could be argued that, with the focus of Babs' vision being on Bruce and Jim, Dick just offering support instead of grieving was where she saw him. My number 1 clue that this scenario was not what it seemed: Sadly, the focus and competence of the GCPD as they pursued Bruce. Montoya, and maybe even Bullock, would have in 'real life' tried to pull Jim back a bit, and Bruce would have given them a much tougher time - and sorry, no way the GCPD's boats would have intercepted Jack as they came out of the cave. That was nightmare logic at work, where the threat/monster spots you from a far distance, and is then right on top of you.

Another superb essay by one of, if not the, best in the game. Adoring all the DCAU content, hope it doesn’t dry up too soon

Bloody hell. Putting the story aside for a second, the animation I'm seeing is BRILLIANT. They don't make them like they use to.

Without a doubt, one of the greatest Batman stories ever told! The opening is intense, Babs' death is horrifying and that final scene between Babs and Jim gets me right in the heart.

The Censors tell WB they couldn't show Barbara getting hit by the car, but the POV shot from inside the police car is SOO MUCH WORSE!!!

It really says something about the quality of the writing, acting, and animating of this show that we're still talking about it 30 years later and that in many respects it is still the standard to which all Batman media is measured...

Besides “Old Wounds” this is my favorite episode. This was brilliantly written, and pushed the bounds of what was allowed in a cartoon tv show. From start to finish, it NEVER felt like the climax was over. How many felt like it was a genuine scary movie when Batgirl’s body ACTUALLY hit the car? So Batgirl’s fear is her death. Her fear about her father is nonacceptance of her lifestyle and even rage with the bat family that she loves. Her fear with Dick was him not caring enough about her death to quit. Tim Drake became an orphan and a fugitive at like 13 so his life is ruined. And in the end, the two men she values most, in spite of all their anger, reconcile…only for it to be too late as they plummet to their deaths. Fear toxin never hit so hard. In a way, WE were the ones the fear toxin hit because everything we had grown to love about the Batman animated series was crushed beneath one bad day. And they did it in 30 minutes WITH commercials! Then, when Batgirl wakes up, we finally settle down from our climactic adrenaline rush, ending with the Commissioner either admitting that he knows and respects her choices or he doesn’t know and respects her choices. In under 60 seconds, they show us through Commissioner Gordon the powerful message: Love is more powerful than fear.

Dick wasn't in love with Barbara anymore. Barbara only makes one real attempt with anything romantic, and that was in 'You scratch my back' when she points out there's room for two on his bike. Else they have no romantic implications except for Old Wounds and Dick was definitely upset with her as much as Bruce, that was probably the end of it for those two.

The only thing I would have changed about this episode is change Barbara's Killer from Scarecrow to the Joker as a reference to the Killing Joke minus the getting shot in the spine part and she'd become Oracle by the end of the episode

To this day, seeing many horror movies, I rarely have reacted to a jump scare as I did when Barbara hit the car. I never saw it coming and it truly scared me.
