In the original cut, it made more sense that Bruce didn't know how to handle the guilt because Tim was forced to kill the Joker to save Batman. Tim himself says in both versions that he doesn't hold Bruce responsible for "the gory details", admitting he misses the "old man" and is happy to see him again while recuperating.
There is also the fact that despite the fact that Bruce was proud that Tim fought back against the brainwashing and grappled with the clown, as given by his Smile of Approval, their relationship apparently foundered anyway because Bruce still blamed himself for the Joker getting his hands on Tim and torturing him for three weeks. His injuries are relatively lighter in the edited version - punched in the face and knocked down- making one question why Bruce didn't get up and try to help Tim fight against the Joker since their grappling was much longer than the gunshot. Even then, he was visibly staggering to his feet given how deep the knife was in his leg. Bruce was stabbed in the leg, and knocked down, meaning he couldn't go to comfort Tim until Joker let go of him. While you can see Joker holding the knife he pickpocketed from Batman in a Freeze-Frame Bonus, it seems unlikely that Joker would be able to surprise him with a "Hey, You!" Haymaker the way that Batman was holding him. Originally, Joker uses a knife to slash Batman's chest and stab his legs Joker simply punches him down in the edited version. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini themselves admit they don't know how that clue didn't end up in the final cut. If you see the logo, then one may ask why neither Terry nor Bruce followed up on that lead in the first place. Unless you see that Joker's escape vehicle at the Wayne gala had the Jolly Jacks logo, a viewer may be confused as to how Terry knew to look for it. This was how Terry knew how to go to the abandoned factory, as the director's commentary noted with a Lampshade Hanging. The script had Joker holding a Jolly Jacks jar while taunting Terry close to the climax. This also happened when some items didn't translate from script to storyboard: If you compare both versions, few more plotholes come up thanks to Joker's death being greatly toned down to please the censors. Adaptation Induced Plothole: A necessity given the edited version. In the edited version, Tim tosses the gun away and tackles the Joker, ultimately getting the Joker dosed with water, entangled in wires, slipping, and grabs a level connected to the wires in the process, electrocuting the Joker. Adaptational Self-Defense: In the original version, Tim turned the gun Joker gave him to shoot Bruce on the Clown Prince himself before firing.
But Timm genuinely thought it was a funny scene (and also felt it was necessary to have a moment of levity and emotional release for the audience after the climax). Dini wrote in the Nana Harley scene in the epilogue in protest and naturally assumed Timm would order it excised from the final script. The DVD Commentary reveals Paul Dini disobeyed direct orders from Bruce Timm to kill Harley. This is part of how and why Harley survived the flashback. When Matt says that there's a stranger in his house while pointing at his brother, their mother can't help but smile at the quip.Either Bruce has already inoculated himself (Bruce was brewing the anti-toxin before Joker attacked) or he fought it out courtesy of the years of experience in their rivalry. Acquired Poison Immunity: Downplayed, but in spite of his old age Bruce still manages to survive the poison the Joker injected him with long enough for Terry to return to Wayne Manor then find and administer the antidote.10-Minute Retirement: Terry quits being Batman halfway through the movie, because Terry does not know why Bruce keeps him Locked Out of the Loop.Return of the Joker includes the following tropes:
