Batman: No Man's Land/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Tear Jerker]]: The death of {{spoiler|Jim Gordon's wife, Sarah, at the hands of the Joker}}. Joker has a large number of infants held hostage. {{spoiler|Sarah}} rushes in with a gun, and Joker tosses one of the babies at her, forcing her to drop her gun to save it. No points for guessing what he does once she's unarmed. Gordon gets the news outside - he rants tearfully about how the Joker has gone [[The Killing Joke|too far]] and seriously considers killing him, but after shooting him in the knee, chooses law over anarchy and walks away. And if him weeping on the steps as Batman holds him steady doesn't get to you, then the scene of him spending the New Year alone, singing Auld Lang Syne dry-eyed over {{spoiler|Sarah's}} grave definitely will.

** In the novelisation, Batman's last scene: visiting his parents' grave and the remains of quake-ravaged Wayne Manor: "''I'm home.''"

** Maybe being one of the few Batman enemies with superpowers gives him a confidence boost about facing superpowered heroes?
