Bruce Timm, the mastermind behind a lot of projects from the DC Animated Universe, has a favorite of his own. Or to be more precise, he has a favoriteepisodeof his own from the toon-verse. Now, considering how some of his best and most notable works are fromBatman: The Animated Series, many would expect his favorite episode to be from this series as well.
However, that’s hardly the case. In fact, that one episode that touched Timm deeply isn’t from any of his work on theBatmansaga. Instead, as it turns out, the episode that he considers to be the“Ragnarok”of“sob scenes”is actually fromSuperman: The Animated Series!
Bruce Timm Considers thisSupermanEpisode his Favorite
Bruce Timmhas helmed one too many star-studded pieces for the DC Animated Universe, some of which notably include masterpieces from theBatman, Superman,Wonder Woman,Green Lantern, and theJustice Leagueuniverse.
Out of all of these, it was the episodeApokolips… Now!fromSuperman: The Animated Seriesthat got to the mastermind the most.
That is what he said during an interview withDC Animated, where he was asked to share hisfavorite scene or momentfrom one of the episodes out of all the series he has contributed to.
Fans Waiting for Batman: Caped Crusader Must Know Why Bruce Timm Was Scared of Doing More Animated Batman Shows: “I honestly don’t know what I’d do”
But the response didn’t come easily. Only after listing down an uncountablenumber of other momentsfrom multiple other superheroes’ universes did Timm finally reveal:
“But the ‘Ragnarok’ of ‘sob scenes’ is, of course, the climax of ‘Apokolips…Now!’…that baby fires on every emotional cylinder….I’ve had grown men tell me they bawled like little girls at that scene.”
If that wasn’t all, the genius mind behind all those gems from the DCAU then continued to express just how that episode made him feel, saying,“What’s Not To Love???!!! I swear to God I’m choking up just thinking about it…”
One Batman: The Animated Series Episode Was So Jarring Even Bruce Timm “Sobbed like a baby”
While some fans — especially those who are well-versed withtheBatman: The Animated Seriesloreall too well — may feel disappointed after hearing this response, they need to know that it didn’t come without justification. And when you hear it, you just might fall in love with that episode too.
Bruce Timm’s Justification for Why He LovesApokolips… Now!So Much
Although all the other stuff he listed had pretty genuine justifications themselves, Timm quite literally took it to another level while sharing what exactly he loves so badly about theApokolips… Now!episode fromthe Man of Steel’sThe Animated Series.
Even Spider-Man: TAS Creator John Semper Was Jealous of Bruce Timm’s Batman: The Animated Series: “They do all kinds of things that we couldn’t do”
In a nutshell, the legendary mastermind explained:
“The shock of seeing Turpin annihilated/Superman going berserk/Lois can’t even watch/Superman’s fury spent/the cemetery based on Jack Kirby’s final resting place in Thousand Oaks/the Rabbi singing that gorgeous Kaddish/star-spangled avengers, super-spies, African princes, various comics professionals and even Luthor pay their last respects/sad but proud cops/Toby comforting a stoic but clearly destroyed Maggie Sawyer/the last few family members leaving the funeral as a soft wind blows/Superman’s gentle good-bye to his friend/the last silhouetted shot as the day ends/the one-two sucker punch end titles, ‘Not the end…’ and ‘Long Live The King’/all scored with impeccable good taste by Kris Carter.”
Well,thanks to Bruce Timmfor jogging up that memory, for now, we’re crying once again just thinking about it!
