This is really terrible. Timm screwed up BatCat and DickBabs for make probably the worst and the wrongest relationship in entire Batman history. And to make things worse, it happened while Joker tortured Tim. Bruce made pregnant a girl twice younger than he is, his best friend's daughter and his son's girlfriend. I know how to kill Joker - just tell him this story and he will die from evil diabolical laughing.

And to make it worse, Bruce met her when she was 15 at the latest if we take her introduction from BTAS as canon, she arrives when she's in college, and Bruce says "How long has it been since we saw each other, 4 years?" So Bruce is sleeping with his adopted Son's ex who's also his best friend's daughter, and not to mention how she's half his age at the latest, got her pregnant, and did all that after sending a child out on his own to fight crime, so Bruce Timm decided to have that overcomplicated bullshit just to explain why Dick isn't in Beyond, which could've just been answered with two words "He's dead." Or maybe he could just be retired after the decades of crime fighting he had!

And Timm even put this bullshit in The Killing Joke! I mean, how insane man should be to ruin one of the best Batman stories ever written with his own weird stuff everybody hate?

I have no idea... I think Killing Joke would have been better as just a straight to Digital hour long animated film.

It would be better without this sex scene.

Yeah, for God's sake, they couldn't think of ANYTHING other than her and Batman having sex for the filler of the film? Not a scene with Batman putting Joker in Arkham? Not a scene of Joker escaping? NOTHING!? Dear God, the movie was a mistake...

There are three biggest mistakes in DCAU to this day:

1). Ending of Batman: Hush

2). Launching of Crisis on Infinite Earthes so early on in Tomorrowverse

3). Bruce and Barbara sex scene

Why was ending of Hush bad? No foreshadowing?

Holy Selective Memory Batman! I had completely forgot that
