    I can’t stand the thought of abusing children, especially in a sexual way. It makes me feel this disgust, but also anger towards this world we live in, and I feel awful because my parents are the most amazing people ever. They have given me everything and it feels almost unfair that I get this perfect life while those in abusive households get nothing but pain and lifelong trauma. My heart goes out to those in these types of situations, and I’m sorry that you have to go through it.

    Batman has been my comfort character my whole life. I grew up in an abusive home environment, and every night I’d imagine him saving me and taking me in his arms to bring me back to the bat cave with him. Night Cries is the story I never thought I would need, but it brought me to my knees. It’s a hauntingly beautiful story. I’m so sorry you had to endure such trauma. Nobody deserves that. To this day nearly two decades later, Batman is just as important in my life. He will always bring me comfort in ways that other characters can’t❤️

    I rarely commented on KZread video. But I had to do it today. I’m sorry that you have to experience the trauma. I was bullied in elementary school in my original country and in high school here. At first, I was mocked because I was poor. In high school, I was mocked because of my silly accent when speaking English. For me, Batman inspired me a lot, and folks who have shared a love for Batman like you inspired me as well. You’re Batman for overcoming the difficulties in life. Thank you very much for your channel. I wish you well. My current story: I’ve ended up teaching critical thinking in college and used some Batman stories as teaching material :-)

    Great job brother. I witness a lot of abuse and bullying when I was young but I wasn’t big enough to do anything against the adults. But I learned to counsel those who abused and gave them the mental support they needed. Being a minority has many difficulties, but remember what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger. Be like Batman and rise to the occasion.

    I had no idea you went through something like that Salazar. I'm sorry, I never went through child abuse but during my teen hood my father at times would get way to angry at me when I was in trouble he got way to judgmental about it making me feel like crap when I didn't have to. But deep down my father always regrets it and apologizes to me. Through my life I've had a hard time forgiving him because like you said with always remembering the words I always remembered his words and how ashamed it made me feel. Your confession made me realize that my father isn't terrible and that he dose love me and I should appreciate what I have especially with truly terrible people I've met at high school who hated me for being me and said worse things to me. Thank you and once again I'm very sorry you went through something terrible like that godspeed my friend.

    I too grew up in an abusive home and your tears made me cry, too, Salazar. Thank you for sharing about this important book. Much like others here have shared, Batman has always been my favorite character because he is a protector, and because he is himself a traumatized soul. (I've actually written about his effect on me in my own comic books.) But though Batman struggles, he perseveres. Just like us. 🦇

But it is getting better. We need to work through our pain. We need to speak up. We need to be our own heroes. My mother abused me as a child, and the worst part was how much my dad suffered from trying to help me. The system is as bad as the one we read about in the comics. May we all find our way in life ! Trust me, I've gone through a lot and I know so have you ! But it gets better.

You're such a brave person for talking about your experience with abuse (I know what its like) I'm also surprised that this is one of the few Batman stories about abuse and not to feature the Joker, who is portrayed as a downtrodden victim of abuse in modern Batman and though that doesn't mean I'm against sympathy for the Joker (Killing Joke is influential and one of my fav Joker stories) It's a breath of fresh air in my honest opinion. Well done.

To see him talking the same way my father does. I hope you’ve gotten help for your problems like I did. You deserve it.

    I just found out about this storyline and I needed to check on it. The topic is something that is very close to my heart and when I looked up reviews on KZread (I didn't find that much), I immediately found your video. I'm so sorry about what you went through. Both my parents were abused by their fathers. I remember one time around 5 years ago, I talked to my mom about her relationship with her father. Two of the most heartbreaking things she told me were that she wished someone called CPS on him when she was growing up in the 60s and that if there was any couple that should've divorced, it was her parents. They had a horrible and toxic marriage and it scarred my mom for a while. When my dad proposed to her, she turned him down about two separate times, partially because she was scared they were going to end up like her parents. Meanwhile, 40 years later, my parents are still madly in love with each other and are a model of the relationship I want to have with my SO. (Sorry for the tangent.) My mom's father was a huge piece of crap and I'm glad I never met him; I rather celebrate how strong my parents were in-spite of all they went through. But still, to this day, once and a while, I see the effects his abuse has on her to this day, especially with how she talks about him. I hope you're able to heal from what you went through.

    Salazar Knight I am deeply sorry for what you've been through! I hope that all that is behind you now. I have to say I discovered this comic back in October this year but when I read it....for me, it surpasses A Serious House on Serious Earth in that this feels absolutely like a pure Batman horror story but horror in how it deals with abuse, especially abuse directed at children, a true horror I don't think anyone deserves. This was refreshing as we never see any existing Batman villain in the story and it's a deeply powerful, personal story for Batman, Gordon and a couple of new characters.

    Salazar Knight One of the most itneresting aspects I like about Night Cries is how James Gordon Jr is featured in the story. This same character was rescued from kidnapping as a baby by Batman and years later would turn out to be a sociopathic villain for Batman (albeit Dick Grayson following in Bruce's footsteps) and Barbara/Batgirl in The Black Mirror and the New 52 Batman stories. Not saying that Jim almost abusing his son may have played a role in his son's sociopathy, but really that the harrowing darkness and horror of such a deeply corrupt rotting city as Gotham may have impacted Jim Jr. Matt Draper did a fantastic video on Scott Snyder's The Black Mirror, which I recommend if you've not checked that out.

Even through the trauma hurts but in the end, good will always triumph over evils. My prays for you and other people who suffered from such terrible things.

    Salazar Knight - my friend - this video is very poignant, your words and really struck a chord and it takes a lot of courage to speak about such traumatic experiences. And I thank you once again for sharing not only all the great BATMAN reviews, views and analyses you have posted but this particular video. You are not alone... and you are very brave.

    First off I love ur channel and it might sound pretentious but I too have suffered abuse. Physical from my dad and verbal from my mom, luckily my dad isn't around anymore. Its really fantastic that this man's last story on Batman is one so important and meaningful also done in a way that didn't seem like being overly edgy. Keep up all the great work

    A year ago (almost, but we're close), I saw this video on my feed, tapped on it, learned the premise of a story about Batman fighting the horrors of our worlds, and then immediately closed it. Not because I didn't find it interesting. Honestly I don't think you could make a video about Batman that I wouldn't find interesting. I closed the video because I was going thru a hard time with my mental health, suffering from depression caused by bipolar traits, and massive social anxiety, so I simply couldn't find the strength to hear about the horrors of our world. I basically ran away. Now, a year later, I'm still fighting with depression and anxiety to great lengths, but I decided to revisit this video and... God, this is the part where I regret making this comment all about me 'till now, honestly. I couldn't face even just the idea of hearing about the horrors of our world, while you were so strong that you talk about the ones you went thru. You were so strong to the point where you still informed about the cases that this wonderful dark detective faced, while at the same time you talked about something that hit so close to home, and deliver such a powerful, well constructed and heartfelt message. I've met many strong people in my life, but this is one act that I'll never forget, because it shows so much courage, compassion, empathy and selflessness. I regret greatly closing that video last year, but I'll always be glad I came back. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for doing what you do.

    This story really hits close to home for me, as i was a victim of child abuse at school, and it nearly caused me to end my life and act like the killer vigilante in this story. To anyone reading this, and Salazar, I'm sorry that you had to go through this, but your not alone, as there will always be someone to help you escape that dark place, and overcome your fears.

    I've seen a lot in my life. I myself was abused as an infant and I thank god I was adopted. It's resulted in me having trouble forming connections. I have struggled with my relationships with people and significant others and while I have contact with my birth family and I see them often, hearing my birth mother repeatedly say she loves me and yet abused my brother and sisters, myself and continues to fall to drug abuse? That's something I can never ever forgive. I've failed people because of my own flaws, and I owned up to it. Growing up I never was a big Batman fan, but recent events and loss of friends have put me in a dark place. I made a promise to my last partner that I'd do anything I could to save her and keep her safe, and unfortunately I did fail. She succumbed to her old habits and metaphorically the woman I loved died and in her place a masochistic anarchist was born who was hurt and lashing out at the world. She too, was abused as a teenager, which led to gender dysphoria and a MTF transition. To see this beautiful girl, born out of a horrible past, become happy and full of life only to fall to a life of hedonism and corruption because I didn't properly handle situations that I should have handled with sensitivity and care, broke me. I made a promise to her though, and while I couldn't save her, I could help save others. I'm not "The Batman", he's a fictional character. But I could inspire kids around me. I made an entire Batman outfit costing close to 800$ that was combat tested for authenticity and patrol the streets of my town at night. I've been doing it for 6 months, I've seen a lot that my town has to offer. Life can be ugly. But the emphasis is on can. While I expected more fighting, the most help I've done is help people out of a depressive state. Help people with just regular good deeds. A lot of people have grief, and I believe that's what people need help with. Sometimes it just takes a quick talk and compliment to boost someone's day. I've helped one suicidal girl. I've helped clean up my neighborhood of drugs. I exposed a friend's family for abusing their daughter and now they're paying the consequences of their actions. To me, Batman was never about the armor. He was just a man in a dark world trying to inspire people to rise up and be the best they can be. We all have a Batman in our hearts and that's why he's lasted for so long. I can tell this video was definitely a personal one for you, and the ending tugged at my heart. I can't imagine what you went through, and I'm hoping life is treating you fairly now. You have talent and are a great narrator, thank you for uploading this.

    When I was 13-15 years old, I didnt like to study, I prefered to watch comic books and girls. My dad tried to teach me, but he wasn't patient, and he ended beating me. Today I am a statistic teacher, and not everyone of my students like me, but almost all of them say I am very patient. I think it is possible to break the pattern.

    I unfortunately also have first hand experience in the subject matter friend. A family member did it. I'm not sure what would happen if I ever were to see them again. I hope I'd be as strong as Batman, and not as angry as the Doc. Your review is lovely. I bought the trade years ago while in college. Was around 10$ shipped. I now own the odd prestige/magazine format Deluxe edition new in the wrapper. The thing is a collectors item but I only spent like 20$. Its a cherished item to me, not sure if to open it and read it.

    Awesome review this has always been one of my favourite batman stories but with your emotional input I definitely will read it with even greater meaning now for sure. Don't mean to upset you or sound like an arse for bringing this up when it's a tough subject for you but there is a batman prose novel that also tackled child abuse called The Ultimate Evil written by an author who specialises in the law of the subject.

    Mr. Salazar 1. the story was beautifully written the characterization of Batman was just perfect the artwork was beautiful and realistic (in terms of facial expression) but the explanation of why Jim Gordon is no longer with his son and wife honestly up baffled me because I've never once imagined James Gordon to be this type of person (I'm not sure I can look at him the same way ever again) . 2. I am very sorry that you were physically abusive as child really hope you're doing well and actually had some psychological therapy. I know this must be a touchy subject and it was sad to hear you cry while narrating this to us. I felt like I was emotionally abused by my mother she would always yell at me when it comes to how I handle my situations specifically with bullying or my anger mostly in school because I had mild autism so I don't handle things the best way compared to most ordinary kids. she always yell at me for the most dumbest things it hurt my feelings for stuff not even related to school I always felt like she was emotionally controlling my life but it took me awhile to realize after my mom died from cancer which was in April that she didn't really mean it like that but it still hurt me plus I overlook the good stuff she did in my life which I do appreciate.

    DC marvel comicfans I’m sorry you never got to reconcile things with your mom. It dose inspire me make things right with my dad. I’ll never forgive my high school principal for not trusting me, trying to ruin my friendships, and thinking because I’m different I shouldn’t be allowed to talk to females. He cares about nothing except for publicity. I still have my friends and I haven’t changed anything about me meaning he loses. Don’t let anyone try to change you just for being different I learned that from a young age.
