Rest in Peace Kevin. You made so many childhoods as well as the character Batman...that much more memorable with every voice line performed.

One of the show's best episodes ever and the highlight was seeing Bruce Wayne fighting himself as Batman on top of the church during a thunderstorm, even though we all knew it was a dream, it was still an unbelievable moment.

I think the reason for the clarity of Wayne Enterprises and W.E. could be the fact that he sees them as logos, pictorial representations. If it existed in the series, the giant golden arches of M for McDonald's wouldn't be a different letter as that is not just a letter but a logo as well. With Wayne Enterprises' full-size logo, it would be comparable to the logo for MasterCard, with the name being a part of the logo design. Psychologically, we automatically correct the phrase because we are familiar with what it should show. But with a random jewelry store that Bruce is not familiar with, the words printed in a book he may not have read, or the words telling a new bit of information in the newspaper, his mind had never processed them before, so the mind threw in letters, numbers, and symbols to fill in that part as his subconscious knows something goes there but isn't sure what it should be or look like.

@@benjaminbierley2074 In terms of which one did it better, I think the split between this and "For the Man Who Has Everything" is about 50-50. Perchance to Dream - Batman's fantasy matches the character better. I'm not sure why Superman should prefer to live on a planet he never knew when he has a loving family on Earth. - It's a good mystery. In FtMWHE, we know the truth from the beginning. - The dream imagery is more evocative and generally carries more emotional weight. For the Man Who Has Everything - Mongul's motivation seems better - he wants to kill Superman's friends while Superman stands there helpless. His sadistic line "I created a prison you couldn't leave without sacrificing your heart's desire; it must've been like tearing off your own arm" shows that he's somewhat okay with Superman waking up if he gets to watch Superman suffer. But Tetch could've just killed Batman, and it wouldn't have been too hard to give a reason he couldn't (e.g., Batman has Alice hidden somewhere, and Tetch plans to use the dream to find out where). - Superman's moment of decision hits hard - he doesn't want to leave the dream, but he needs to save his friends. Once Bruce realizes that the dream isn't real, he doesn't want to stay.

Has the best lines in all of Batman's history: "I'll see you in your nightmares!" and "The stuff dreams are made of". The first is a kid friendly but still badass take on "I'll see you in hell" and the fact that Bruce doesn't know if it will actually work just adds to the awesomeness.

I love this episode too. The part that always stuck out to me was the Hatter’s line “I was willing to give you whatever life you wanted just to keep you out of mine!” I like that idea. And it’s a trial that all heroes have to go through. Their own personal paradise or their duty as a hero. People forget. Being a hero is not fun. It’s fulfilling and some quipping hero’s make it fun when they can, but, on the whole, being a hero isn’t fun. Even for Superman. Where everything he does is difficult, not because it’s tiring, but because it takes effort to not go overboard and destroy everything, it is taking time away from his interests, his passions, and his relationships.

It is great because for the briefest of moments, Batman is falls under the same spell. In that dream, he sees his father stand up and beat the crook who would have killed them. While Perchance nails the feels in 22 minutes, 'Everything' did it in 2. It hits in so many feels.

I've also had dreams where I was able to fly by physically clenching some part of my gut and concentrating really hard and practicing "all day," to the point where once I finally woke up, it took a long, depressing 5 minutes for me to finally give up trying to get the ability back because it felt so perfectly real.

Parents are alive, girl by his side, someone still watching over Gotham... so close to perfect. And when it all falls apart, it falls apart for everyone involved. From everyone getting what they wanted to no one getting what they wanted in an instant. Just great writing from beginning to end.

I have to agree, this is one of my favourite episodes of the show, if not the favourite. I've always enjoyed the stories where we get to see that different timeline I guess, where the hero never suffered the trauma that caused them to become the hero.

“I was willing to give you any life you wanted! just to keep you out of mine!” I’ve always loved that line in this episode. The one thing in this episode I think it’s left unsaid is why didn’t the mad hatter just use the device on himself to give them the paradise he always wanted? I think it’s because he tried. And he just couldn’t stay already knowing that it’s a fabrication.

Re: Hatter Unmasking Batman, I took the specifics of Bruce's dream, the Hatter's presence in it as Batman, and the fact that Hatter knew what Batman wanted deep down to mean that he already knows Batman's alternate identity. The key is he doesn't have a reason to reveal it or anything, it wouldn't do him any good. As far as not just killing him while he slept? While the Mad Hatter isn't above murder, I think his intent different. If he murdered Batman successfully, that would put a target on his back. But if Batman just quietly vanished? Just my thoughts.

"I was willing to give you whatever life you wanted, just to keep you out of mine!!" such a perfect line

“I was willing to give you any life you wanted. Just to keep you out of mine”

I always saw this episode as " Even when Bruce is happy, Batman isn't".

Is incredible how my 2 top Heroes of my Childhood (and up to this day): Batman and Spider-Man have some of the BEST scenes in their cartoon Shows at the top of Towers Batman has THIS episode in "the dream Land" and Spider-Man has the moment he removes the symbiont suit (and is the birth of Venom)

I can't remember if Almost Got Him is in this season, but it's my favorite episode. I hope Walter talks about it.

I think it's season 2 if I remember right

What a coincidence, this is my favorite episode as well

This has got to be my favourite episode in the entire series

this was such a beautiful yet tragic episode i cried at the end every time. i knew the world bruce was in wasn't real i just didn't figure it out till the end. mad hatter is a clever villain.

Last Bat-May, mad respect, This episode was my most re-watched for me.

Watched the episode before continuing the video and the ending gave me goosebumps

Well thank goodness I'm watching this video now because I remember watching this episode back in 2014 and I could use a refresher.

The tag line, "The stuff that dreams are made of", is shared by the classic Bogart film, THE MALTESE FALCON.

The only big flaw with the episode is the assertion that it's impossible to read in dreams. In reality, this varies a lot from person to person, and even from dream to dream for the same person. This could've been fixed just by instead having Bruce say, "I've never been able to read in my dreams," or something to that effect. But aside from that? An amazing episode, and a true classic.

This story was very similar to Alan Moore's "For the man who has everything" And that got turned into a great JLU episode!

I know its been touch on by you and others, but another reason this episode is the best is because even though we all know it's a dream and we want him to keep being the caped crusader we all know and love, a small part of us actually want this to be real. For everything that he's gone through... the constant battles, the losses, the wear and tear of being Gotham's savior, he's been long overdue for a happy ending. The dream gives him that and more.. a loving fiance, someone else taking up the mantle, and most importantly, his parents alive and well. We all want that for Bruce and when the illusion is broken, our hearts break along with his.

The Condiment King is the most underrated Batman villan.

Imo there’s no better way to take a deep dive into a character’s mind than a dream episode. This and the Justice League episode on Superman’s birthday come to mind

This is one of my all time favorite episodes

This is one of my favorites of the entire series as well. It has my favorite quote of the entire series as well

you should do baby doll that in my mind is one of the saddest ones

Exactly, that ending..... the feels man....

been waiting all month for this.

As a kid this episode really hit me. When I rewatched the series this episode damn near broke my heart. But, this series was incredible. They took some awesome risks and really went deep into characters

Thank you I love this episode

And tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken, we finish this month up with... "The Cape and Cowl Conspiracy"

@@TheGuardDuck They're going by production order. "Almost Got Him" was the 45th Episode produced. Meaning we WILL see it in the middle of Bat-May 2021.

"Are you the dreamer or merely part of someone's dream?"

I was waiting all month for you to cover this one, GREAT ep!

I was waiting all month for your review on this episode... Was so happy you got to it and to know how much you like this one. I agree, best batman episode.

Please do more of Bat May. It's one of the most looked forward parts of my day.👍Please continue with the series

This and " the man who has everything" from Justice League are my favorites

Twinkle, twinkle, little Bat, Would you like to try my hat? A Wonderland to realize Misty dreams before your eyes. Where the children laugh and play, And daddy never goes away. Where caterpillars shun the noon And stay inside their dark cocoons. Should not the world be just like that? Twinkle, twinkle, little Bat…

I’m so glad you guys covered a really outstanding episode on my birthday! I was surprised but yet I looked out for the clues that this episode gave. One of my favorites is the one about Bane, for the fact that it represents his character quite well.

This episode is special to me. In summer 1993, I was 7 years old. I was living in Omaha, but I spent a month with my grandparents in eastern Illinois. When I got back, my parents had bought a new TV (and Home Alone 2 on VHS!). My mom asked what channel I wanted to watch, I said Fox, and the first thing I saw on this new TV was the church tower scene.

This was the one I was waiting for.

This very much reminds me of Justice League Unlimited episode 3 "For the man who has Everything." Same kinda fucked up premise about being put into your dream life and having to sacrifice everything to break free, but this episode takes it to a darker place, while you just feel this incredible pain and sadness from Superman. Honestly good shit.

Fun fact, that one is based on a comic of the same name :) written in 1939, it's superman annual 11 I believe

The episode stuck with me for so long! And I truly bought that "you can't read in a dream" line. I know how naive it sounds, but I believed that no one could read in dreams. Why? Cause Batman had said so! That was all the proof I needed! Then I became a translator and started to dream about text to read and to be translated. I have to admit, I was a little hurt when I realized that the animated series had led me astray for all these years.

I like how coincidentally there's a reference to Dashiel Hammett's "The Maltese Falcon" at the end of the video seconds after you show "Perchance To Dream" by Robert B. Parker, a direct sequel to The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler who claims to be influenced by Hammett. It makes sense since Batman debuted during a time when the hardboiled detective was making it's way out of the pulp magazines and into serious literature.

You should do STAS after this. The Toyman episode is one of my favorites

This episode and Over the Edge are just fantastic

Totally worth the wait!
