Tear Jerker / Batman: Gotham Knight

Go To

  • Seeing Batman dig through a pile of garbage, finding gun after gun, and cradling them all in his arms, is... tear-inducing
    Alfred: (come to help him up out of the garbage) Give me your hand, sir.
    Batman: ...I can't.
  • Cassandra's backstory in Work Through the Pain. Disowned by her father and thrown out of her house at a young age just because she had made a couple of men look like fools over a test they were certain she wouldn't pass.
  • Upon saving Cassandra from the thugs, Bruce is told to leave, because he learned what there is to know, but Cassandra also adds that "your pain is beyond my abilities... and perhaps yours as well". Not even an enlightened spiritual could help him, and it's sad that Bruce will live with this pain for the rest of his life.
  • The deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne, shown through a flashback at the beginning of Deadshot.
