2:11 The fact that Bruce just said he was batman with no hesitation is amazing Val is such an underrated batman

[yellowreos]

Is nobody going to mention the fact of how quickly Bruce attempted to reveal his identity to Harvey?

[Shanethefilmmaker]

What's cool is the Flying Graysons tried to stop Two-Face without a second thought. No fear, no hesitation. Just "We can stop him." The entire family could have had their own Robin team had they survived. Even work alongside Batman.

When I watched this as a kid I was just excited to see a Robin origin story.
Now this is pretty heartbreaking to watch.

[cassidyho]

Imagine feeling exhilarated that you saved the day- only to feel the crushing grief at the sight of your family's bodies seconds later.

[WarhawkBeyond]

What i loved about this scene was you see Bruce Wayne sitting in the audience as a smiling billionaire playboy and his mood completely turns serious as soon as he hears Two-Face's voice, it was almost like he transformed into Batman without actually putting on the costume and then seeing him swing from the rope and taking down the thugs in full on crime fighting mode was pretty badass.

[joemac]

You can't honestly blame Dick wanting Two-Face dead after this.

[evanthebourne]

Interesting, they give this incarnation of Robin
- Dick Grayson's name and most of his backstory
- A little of Jason Todd's backstory
- A Robin suit that resembles Tim Drake's

Looking back, this movie is super silly, but this scene is actually really sad and done really well. You can really feel the family connection the Graysons have and how good hearted they are and when Dick loses them you can feel how empty he suddenly is

[angelangulo]

In this movie, Two Face acts more like the Joker.

[ultrawarriorwookie]

ahh the origin of the (25 year old) boy wonder. Who thought it was a good idea for batman to adopt a fully grown man?

[youzettasonsofdigits]

I like the little addition of the whole circus troupe gathering around the Graysons lifeless bodies at the end. It shows that not only was it hard on Robin but all of them as well since they are one big family.

[TheConstantOne]

My favorite live action Bruce Wayne. RIP Val, thank you for your art.

[MR_TONIC]

Love Jim Carrey's laugh shows how insane the Riddler can be.

[abunidalparedes]

Once he becomes Robin, he later joins NCIS: Los Angeles.

[triggeredcat]

The cinematography is really well done. When the three Graysons fall to their deaths, I love the zoom in on Bruce's eyes. I don't think people give this movie a fair chance.

[TrenchMan]

I love the fact Vals batman doesn’t even hesitate to sacrifice himself to save countless lives. Yes it’s kinda out of character for batman to reveal himself in an instant, but peoples lives are on the line and he couldn’t get to the gear in time.

[fear]

I still have this on VHS with the official Two-Face coin that came with it.

[jayNicks]

This scene is so powerful. You don’t even see them land. You see them falling in slow motion, then you see the camera getting closer to the ground, then you see Chase and Bruce’s reactions 😢.

[malakiquest]

Am I the only one who would actually go to a Flying Graysons show? They'd be like Cirque De Soleil.
