5----
6* Pretty much all the interactions between Andrea and Bruce that don't qualify for TearJerker are heartwarming. Especially when Bruce proposes.
7-->'''Andrea:''' I thought I had thrown you for a loop. I thought you didn't know what to do with me because I wasn't in the plan.\
8'''Bruce:''' You are now. I'm changing the plan. ''[they kiss]''
9** "Maybe they already have. Maybe they sent me."
10* Alfred's kind words of encouragement after Andrea disappears.
11** In the second flashback, Bruce agrees to meet Andrea’s father (a sign their relationship is starting to get serious) and Bruce immediately confines to Alfred that he must be “going nuts” to deviate so wildly from the plan that’ll eventually lead to Batman. Alfred can only say, “If I may be so bold, Master Bruce, I’d say ''quite'' the reverse.”
12* Carl Beaumont's promise to protect Andrea.
13* Even with suspicions high and reasonable points being stacked against Batman, Gordon refuses to have any part in hunting his friend or even suspecting him.
14* In a bizarre way, Joker's collective reaction to his old gang: He's happy to see Sal again, until Sal incurs his wrath, at least, he wants to kill the Phantasm to avenge the "old gang," as he calls them, and even his gassing Arthur Reeves can be seen as revenge for Arthur's role in their deaths.
15* At the end of the movie, after Bruce has lost Andrea all over again, Alfred gives Bruce the emotional support he needs, the kind a [[ParentalSubstitute parent]] might have. He even calls him '[[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious Bruce]]' for once.
16* Heartwarming in hindsight, even though Andrea rejected Batman's ThouShaltNotKill morality, she did eventually come to understand and refused to tarnish Batman's legacy by killing [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Terry McGinnis' parents,]] which indicates that after all those years, she still cared about Bruce.
17* Years after the movie's original release and subsequent BoxOfficeBomb status, Fathom Events gave it another chance in the theater for its 25th anniversary, allowing the many fans who helped [[VindicatedByCable vindicate it by cable]] the chance to finally see it on the big screen.
