The Batman Adventures/Tear Jerker

At their best, the Batman Adventures books had tragedy as heart-rending as the animated series that it is based on.

• Gotham Adventures #13, in which the Threatening Trio wind up disbanding with Mr. Nice leaving the country to fulfill a prophecy by helping a young boy. It ends with him leaving into a bright light. It becomes incredibly more sad when you see the real life context: Mr. Nice had been created to resemble comic writer Archie Goodwin, who had died earlier that year; the issue was made in dedication to him.
• The ending of Batman & Robin Adventures #7.
• The tribute to DC artist Mike Parobeck in Batman & Robin Adventures Annual #1.
• "No, Ms. Gleeson. The person you described....was never here...."
• Talia to Batman, right after her Face Heel Turn: "If I had told you, we wouldn't have had Paris...."
• "We were married on a snowy Christmas day. Nora loved the snow. I thought it....sad that there would be none this year. And I wouldn't want my wife to be sad tonight."
• Mad Love. It holds even more weight than the cartoon adaptation, and you can't help but pity Harley.
• "I...I might actually be crazy."
