10 Most Adult Moments In Batman: The Animated Series

6. Why Couldn't You Save Me - Two Face

By the time Harvey Dent eventually became Two Face, we had already gotten to know him as Bruce's friend for a couple of seasons as the District Attorney.

When he goes off the deep end though, Bruce blames himself for not being able to help him, resulting in one of the most trippy dream sequences in the show.

As Bruce tries to make sense of Harvey's condition, he imagines himself reaching out to help Harvey on a bridge before watching him fall to his death, bellowing, "why couldn't you save me?"

But they're not done yet, buddy. Once Bruce looks over the edge, he sees a lone lamppost and the ghost of his parents asking him why he couldn't save them, which eventually snaps him back into consciousness.

As much as he might be the hero in these stories, this is the moment where you realize that Bruce may be just as tortured as the villains he faces.
