@filmenthusiast: In Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993), rain serves as a key motif during one of animation's most emotional moments. As Bruce Wayne kneels at his parents' gravestone confessing he never counted on being happy, the rain runs down Batman's cowl in the present day, making it impossible to tell if he's crying. The scene devastated voice actor Kevin Conroy so deeply that director Bruce Timm recalled, "I was crying so hard. I was absolutely devastated, in a good way, by his performance there. I literally could not speak to continue on." The artistic choice preserves Batman's stoicism while conveying his heartbreak, balancing the divide between Bruce Wayne's pain and the Dark Knight's composure. One of the most human moments in Batman's history. 🦇
