History Heartwarming / BatmanTheAnimatedSeries

* The ending of "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE5House&Garden House & Garden]]" is quite tragic. Poison Ivy has to flee after Batman fouls her latest scheme of using her phycologist from Arkhams DNA to create half-plant/half-human hybrids to act as a husband and children for her. Batman even sounds sympathetic as she had said she was finally happy. She did genuinely want a family but only on her terms. While she flies away from justice on a commercial flight she looks over a photo album of her and her now destroyed creations. But it's slightly heartwarming when you notice on the same page there's also photos of Harley. This essentially means that Harley is the only flesh and blood human being with a will of her own that Poison Ivy is capable of caring about.

*** The fact that both times, Batman specifies, "I used to watch you with my father." The Gray Ghost isn't just an inspiration to Bruce, he's a connection with his lost father.
** This also can count as a real-world Heartwarming Moment because of Creator/AdamWest's role in the episode. As one person put it: "It was the show's way of saying that if that cheesy superhero hadn't existed, this show probably wouldn't have existed."
*** There's a meta CMOH, as well; the creators of the episode stated that if they hadn't gotten West to voice the character, the entire episode would have been scrapped.

** A RealLife example also comes from this episode. During the scene at the dentist office, The Joker makes the pun [[Franchise/StarWars "May the Floss be with you!"]] as he makes his escape. This wasn’t just a cute little ActorAllusion to arguably Creator/MarkHamill’s most famous role, but possibly a reference to ''his wife'', [[https://twitter.com/HamillHimself/status/1440739744992804868?s=20 who he met during a dentist appointment.]]

--->'''Trent (in awe):''' So it wasn't all for nothing.

** Seeing the point where Bruce is watching the Gray Ghost episode and suddenly starts sporting this [[WhenSheSmiles childlike grin]] on his face. There's a look in his eyes, and suddenly he's a child all over again. It's amazingly touching.
