The Batman series of movies helped the caped fighter become a famous superhero on the planet. However, one thing that the series and characters are known for today is darkness. Superhero nicknames like "The Dark Knight" conjure up images of a man who loves to meditate, a nocturnal hero who likes to hide in the shadows, inflict righteous punishment on his enemies, and then go home and meditate again.

Although there are many great characters in the Batman series, Bruce Wayne is a loner. However, he has more reason to remain silent, often due to the death of someone close to him. On these special occasions, the audience felt sympathy for the caped warrior of justice when it came to the movie, which made some moments in the movie very tragic.

Batman's parents

Thomas and Martha Wayne have died many times, similar to Uncle Ben in the Spider-Man comics. This particular death is needed for the plot of the Batman movie. Growing up without his parents, Bruce Wayne became a vigilante of the darkness in desperation, cleaning up Gotham City.

When young Bruce and his parents left the opera house, neither of them survived the ensuing attack. Of course, this isn't the most heartbreaking death in the movie, as viewers never knew about Thomas and Martha before their premature death. Few viewers were surprised by this loss, as Batman's background is already well known.

Jokers

Batman's sworn enemy and number one villain has proven time and time again that he deserves to be imprisoned or even killed, but Batman always forgives him and refuses to let him die. However, in the Future Batman: The Return of the Joker animated film, the Joker is replaced by superhero Robin**.

The Joker returns in this film, causing problems for Bruce Wayne Sr. and his successor, Terry McGinnis. The clown is believed to have been dead for many years. But when the Joker and Harry Quinn kidnap Robin Tim Drake and torture him for three weeks, leaving him insane. Eventually killing the Joker in the most brutal way possible, the Joker feels that he has made Tim exactly like him**, a transformation that breaks the hearts of fans.

3, Harvey the two-faced man" Apollo "Dante

Harvey ยท The saddest thing about the death of Apollo Dent is his potential. When Harvey and Rachel are kidnapped by the Joker and ready to be executed, Batman is forced to choose between the two. Just based on the idea that saving Harvey could save Gotham City itself, and that Harvey could become the "Knight of Light" of Batman's Dark Knight, it was heartbreaking to see Harvey fall to the dark side after being injured.

The injuries to the Joker and Harvey affected Bruce, taking him down a darker path and becoming a two-face. Eventually, his actions, including threatening Jim Gordon's family, led Bruce to stop Two-Face at all costs, leading to his death. The death of Knight Ming in Gotham City has deepened the city's hatred of Batman.

Jason Todd

One of the most famous deaths in Batman comic book mythology is former Robin Jason Todd. Despite his later return as Red Hood, Jason's death at the hands of the Joker is one of the most famous deaths in the history of the comic, and although it never happened in a live-action film, the character played by Ben Affleck felt its effects. In addition, this moment does appear in the DC animated film Batman: Death of a Family, which is surprisingly brutal.

Jason Todd's death at the hands of the Joker, a heartbreaking death that is one of the most defining tragedies in Batman history, and the much darker Jason Todd's version of the Red Hood is a major incarnation in modern DC history, all stemming from his previous death at the hands of the Joker.

Superman

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ends with a shocking and heartbreaking death, one of the most surprising and sad moments in the history of comic book cinema. Superman's own death comes as a big surprise as the two heroes, after clashing with each other, join forces with Wonder Woman in an attempt to defeat Lex Luthor's apocalyptic creation.

Zod, who has come back from the dead, becomes Doom Day and is a great threat that grows in power, but as a Kryptonian, Batman is able to kill him with the Kryptonian stone spear he wields. Unfortunately, only Superman was able to approach Doom Day and stab him to death with a spear, but ultimately failed. Despite being later resurrected by the Justice League, Superman's death remains one of the saddest moments in all of Batman movies.

6. Rachel Dawes

Batman: The Dark Knight is considered by many to be the best Batman movie and even the best superhero movie of all time. However, it is also a dark superhero story about the fall of Harvey Dent, and the various monsters created by the Joker. But the audience and Bruce Wayne personally lost more to his childhood friend Rachel Dawes.

Rachel is Bruce's on-and-off love interest, and she has changed her face from Katie Holmes in "Batman: Time to War" to Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Batman: The Dark Knight", and her excellent performance has given the audience a good understanding of her and hopes that she and Bruce will finally end together. When she died, the heartbreak Bruce experienced made the scene one of the most touching scenes in the history of the Batman films.
