10 Heartwarming DC Comics Moments That Made Fans Cry

10. The Bruce Wayne Case

While Batman's tragic backstory is used to justify his actions and beliefs in the series, it's not as common to see other characters also struggle with this sad event.

This is completely changed by Batman #603, which follows Batman's interactions with Gary Sloan, a retired GCPD detective. Sloan worked on the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents - albeit unsuccessfully - and begs Batman to solve the case, implying that through all those years, Sloan never stopped trying to solve the case.

Seeing the retired cop still want so badly to help soothe Bruce's pain - even though years and years have passed since - is difficult to not find completely heartwarming.

Knowing that it's also helped Batman's often challenged faith in the good of humanity also serves for those extra emotional bonus points, as with all the awful things he comes into contact with, you can't help but think that moments like this truly balance out the bad and the good.
