Yeah, especially since it was just a nightmare that never came to pass.

Gordon really was a great father in the show, and I really appreciate the way you highlight the fact that it's precisely because of the way that he gives Barbara the space and trust to make her own decisions. It's a tragedy of the Batverse that people (Bruce, Barbara, Dick, etc.) constantly underestimate how much he perceives simply because he doesn't directly address it, but that tragedy is exactly what gives space for excellent pay-offs like this one. It reminds me of the comic No Man's Land, where Gordon calls out Batman for never trusting him enough to let him in on the plan; Bruce attempts to demonstrate that he does trust Jim by removing his cowl, but Gordon rebukes him and refuses to look, because that was never the point. He strongly implies that he knows and has known for a long time, but Batman doesn't seem to countenance that Jim has his own motivations and reasons for trusting Batman for so long. It's so easy to take the people we most rely upon in life for granted.

This episode has a strong memory for me. When I watched it on Kids WB when I was little my mom made me do something right after the scene of Barbara’s funeral and I told my younger sister (she was 4 and I was 7) to let me know what happened to Batgirl cause I was genuinely shocked by what happened and I ended up missing the ending by the time I finished doing what kept me from seeing it and I asked my little sister and she was like, “Batgirl woke up.” And I was so confused and I remember thinking “…she must have woke up in the coffin?” I didn’t see the actual events till I bought the DVD cause this particular episode didn’t seem to get rerun much at all and I never saw it on Cartoon Network despite often seeing classic BTAS episodes. Kudos, to my sister for telling me the exact truth about the ending though cause as hard to believe as it was, she was right Batgirl did wake up after dying.

I don't know if episode inspired it, but I like how in the Injustice series it is revealed Gordon has known Barbara was Batgirl the entire time. And when she asks in surprise, 'How?" Gordon's response is, "I'm a detective/cop! It's my job!"

It could be argued that, with the focus of Babs' vision being on Bruce and Jim, Dick just offering support instead of grieving was where she saw him. My number 1 clue that this scenario was not what it seemed: Sadly, the focus and competence of the GCPD as they pursued Bruce. Montoya, and maybe even Bullock, would have in 'real life' tried to pull Jim back a bit, and Bruce would have given them a much tougher time - and sorry, no way the GCPD's boats would have intercepted Jack as they came out of the cave. That was nightmare logic at work, where the threat/monster spots you from a far distance, and is then right on top of you.

The Censors tell WB they couldn't show Barbara getting hit by the car, but the POV shot from inside the police car is SOO MUCH WORSE!!!

Besides “Old Wounds” this is my favorite episode. This was brilliantly written, and pushed the bounds of what was allowed in a cartoon tv show. From start to finish, it NEVER felt like the climax was over. How many felt like it was a genuine scary movie when Batgirl’s body ACTUALLY hit the car? So Batgirl’s fear is her death. Her fear about her father is nonacceptance of her lifestyle and even rage with the bat family that she loves. Her fear with Dick was him not caring enough about her death to quit. Tim Drake became an orphan and a fugitive at like 13 so his life is ruined. And in the end, the two men she values most, in spite of all their anger, reconcile…only for it to be too late as they plummet to their deaths. Fear toxin never hit so hard. In a way, WE were the ones the fear toxin hit because everything we had grown to love about the Batman animated series was crushed beneath one bad day. And they did it in 30 minutes WITH commercials! Then, when Batgirl wakes up, we finally settle down from our climactic adrenaline rush, ending with the Commissioner either admitting that he knows and respects her choices or he doesn’t know and respects her choices. In under 60 seconds, they show us through Commissioner Gordon the powerful message: Love is more powerful than fear.

This channel is something special.

This episode reminds me of that injustice issue where in Jim’s last moments alive he calls Batman and Barbara and has a super emotional scene

I remember when i was watching the series i heard that batgirl died in an episode a while before i got up to it so for months i genuinely thought that she would die until i finally watched it

I love the way u narrate

This series is full of amazing stories full of real narrative. Nothing will ever touch close to this.

Over the Edge is definitely my FAVORITE BTAS episode. It smashes the conventional story of Batman and makes you consider what would happen if EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. I still remember watching it for the first time. Through the first half of the episode I was wondering how conventionally everything could get fixed (at least where Gordon wasn't relentlessly hunting Batman down). At about the halfway mark I realized that there wasn't going to be any resolution and that this HAD TO BE a dream sequence. But it's still an awesome episode and really makes you think.

This episode actually proves how wrong Barbara is to blame Bruce for her being Batgirl. She choose this life to be a crime fighter and even got the blessing of her father to be so.

God I love Batman TAS. And honestly I love this channel now.

One of my fave episodes

That opening of the episode was fantastic.

The only thing I would have changed about this episode is change Barbara's Killer from Scarecrow to the Joker as a reference to the Killing Joke minus the getting shot in the spine part and she'd become Oracle by the end of the episode

My fav episode of all time

It makes total sense that Gordon knew Batman was Bruce Wayne all along. He saw Bruce adopt Dick, Then all of a sudden Batman has a side kick. He saw Bruce adopt another kid, and then he has another Sidekick. and there where far too many cases that had Batman and Bruce Wayne involved. Gordon knows that most other people can never know because he is the one who allows this to happen

Weren’t never going to have a show like this ever again, are we?

I misread the title as "Over the Hedge"... *BEN FOLDS SOUNDTRACK INTENSIFIES*

I watched this episode recently for the first time. When they actually show Barbara hit the car I genuinely jumped. It actually scared me

I rewatched ur AOS video recently and since then I’ve learned new information the show has actually contributed to the movies a couple of times Also when’s the next part

Not what I expected. Over the Edge is also a tabletop RPG from Atlas Games, and apparently the search algorithm thinks they're the same thing.

I watched this in college. Turned it on but missed the first 5 minutes so didn't see the scarecrow setup. Made for a very shocking watch experience until the end.

I remember the first time I saw this episode as a kid, I would just rewind Barbara’s death scene over and over again. Watching it again just over a month ago really had me thinking “Jesus Christ” the entire way through. It’s just escalation after escalation, and you breathe a sigh of relief when in finally ends.

Maaaaaaan this was insane to watch as a kid.

That episode created a huge dent in the mythos of Batman, for me, when I was a kid. He had zero contingency plan for the distinct possibility of any member of the Family getting seriously hurt or killed. Also, if you want to do a Me Too episode about Bruce and Barbara please do so. There is enough ammunition with TAS/New Adventures/Batwomen/Beyond to ask some tough questions. It is obvious that by Beyond, Barbara and Bruce are not in a good place and nothing can be said or done to fully heal that wound. Terry mends the bridge but only for the sake of crime fighting pragmatism, if not she would've gone to the funeral and that's about it.
