This is astonishing and wonderful. The music is so perfect, with the hurt of being Batman, and the way it's about being alone--except, of course, for how it's not. Bruce loses so much, up to and including the parts of himself that are Batman--but he gets some of it back when he has Terry, in a lot of ways that have nothing to do with cane-fu.

I adored the juxtapositions of the cases and Tim and Barbara as a sign of loss, particularly. But oh, this whole vid is glorious.

You are eloquent on this topic as always. Thank you so much. I initially expected this vid to have more Dick in it (um), but that rupture is just not as important in the Toonverse. In fact, one of the things I like about the Toonverse is the alternate take on Barbara and Bruce.
