After watching this THEN a few episode of Batman Beyond - can confirm that THIS IS REAL. NELSON THE JOCK BULLY SHOULD'VE UP AND *DIED* IN ONE OF THE EPISODES I WATCHED, BUT HE DIDN'T DUE TO TONE ARMOR!

Also, poor baby Red in that flashback! Doctor Who will do that, yes.

It does make a lot of sense. Makes me think of a movie I saw at uni which was all about two neighbours from different backgrounds on a new building and how their personalities, tastes and morals clashed in conversations; at the end of the movie robbers enter the building and kill one of them. My professor wouldn't understand I found that jarring and that the foreshadowing of at one point buying an alarm in case of robbers didn't alleviate the tonal shift.
