As a superhero in the DC world, the son of darkness, Batman can compete with Superman as an ordinary person, and has been respected by many people. Strictly speaking, this is an anti-hero. He fights crime, unscrupulously, but never kills. All his actions come from a paranoid justice that is not so much saving others as saving himself: to avoid falling into abyss, the place where u don't care anymore. In the last scene of the cartoon, the joker of the clown amused the master and also implied that the man behind the bat mask is also a lunatic. Once in the abyss, the dark knight will also degenerate into a symbol of madness and death. Sex, abuse, deformity, madness, the entire animation has these elements, no wonder it was rated R. The plot is great, but watch it with caution.

The camera pans up as she takes off her top, exposing her bra. It then cuts to the next morning. Barbara is in her bathroom, in her tank top and undies. She stares at her reflection]
Barbara Gordon: Barbara Kathleen Gordon, what the hell have you done?
