* A variant occurs in ''[[Batman: Under the Red Hood]]''. Batman has a memorial for Jason Todd in the Batcave, to remind himself of the son he lost. After learning that the Red Hood is a resurrected Jason, who tries to get Bruce to break his code by killing the Joker, Alfred asks with sympathy and calm if they should dismantle the case. Bruce says no; despite what happened and what Jason is doing now, he was still a child when he died, and a hero.
* ''[[The Dark Knight (film)|The Dark Knight]]'' ends with this: after Joker corrupts Harvey Dent into killing five people and nearly murders Gordon's young child, Batman and Commissioner Gordon discuss that if word gets out about the truth, all the work that Harvey did will be for nothing because the criminals in jail will get released on mistrial. Batman looks at Dent's body, and turns it over to hide the Two-Face. He convinces Gordon to frame Batman for the murders instead. The movie ends with Harvey receiving a full civil servant funeral.
* In Sam Rami's ''[[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' Peter covers up the nature of Norman Osborn's death, and his identity as the Green Goblin, as not to upset his friend Harry. In the next scene, Norman is seen being buried, with the public none-the-wiser.
