  <description>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to another episode of I AM THE NIGHT, a podcast dedicated to breaking down every episode of Batman: The Animated Series.  Each week, the wonderful Steve J Ray (reviewer at DC Comics News, as well as Editor-in-Chief of our sister site Dark Knight News) and a guest will sit down and dive cowl first into an episode of the greatest animated series of all time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this episode, which shares its name with this very podcast, Steve is joined by fellow DCN and DKN writer, and his son, Adam Ray to talk about the 49th episode of season one of Batman: TAS, entitled "I Am The Night".  So sit back, put on your cape and cowl, and prepare yourself for a journey into the darkness!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Episode Synopsis:&lt;/strong&gt;  On the anniversary of the death of Bruce's parents, Batman accompanies Leslie Thompkins to Crime Alley to place roses on the spot where they were gunned down. Meanwhile, Commissioner Gordon is on stakeout to arrest Jimmy "The Jazzman" Peake during a drug smuggling ring. Batman had promised to be there, but arrives late to find a gun battle going on. He helps defeat the gangsters and arrest the Jazzman, but at a high cost—Gordon is severely wounded. The incident traumatizes Batman and he contemplates giving up his crime-fighting career, despite the Jazzman escaping prison to carry out his personal vendetta against Gordon (who had sent him to prison six years before).&lt;/p&gt;
