"I guess I'm no good at playing the tough guy"

One of the many things that makes Kevin Conroy's performance in b:tas is his rendition of Brucie Wayne. Where most batman media goes for the playboy route, btas focused on Bruce's philanthropy. Instead of being a larger than life party boy, they opted to make Bruce... a nice guy. Just a gentle giant. The definition of 'mild mannered'. I think this makes the Bruce/Batman dichotomy more prominent, and more importantly - believable. Brucie Wayne is a somewhat bumbling rich boy who means well but hasn't had to lift a finger for himself in his life. Look at him. This is the face of a man who can't do his own laundry, let alone serve the city. But he cares, he really really does, about the city and even the people that torment it. He visits Harvey at Arkham Asylum. He funds changes to Arkham and oversees that it's inmates are taken care of (See the season two episode 'Lock Up'). He gives money to the city, not so he can throw Charity Balls, but because he wants to see it thrive. One of my favorite details in btas is the relationship between Harvey Dent and Bruce, and how it relates to Two Face and Batman. Bruce is such a fundamentally kind figure to Harvey that he, Bruce's best friend, can't imagine that he's batman - "I know Bruce Wayne. If he's batman, I'm the king of England". I love to see Brucie as a quiet, gentle man - so the Batman can be even more menacing. "Demon's Run when a good man goes to war."
