dana tan’s rat trauma is tbh one of the most interesting parts of batman beyond and i wish they had done even more w it! my points ig (evidence & my thoughts)

id argue that she displays the four characteristics of ptsd! (obviously there’s a limit to how much is actually shown bc she’s a side character who doesnt actually get a lot of screentime and it’s media from the late 90s/early 2000s, only like 20 years after ptsd became an actual diagnosis iirc) ANYWAY

exposure to trauma (bb s2ep9): patrick (ratboy) stalks and kidnaps dana, bringing her to his weirdass sewer home and tracks her down when she tries to escape, putting her in a terrifying situation & evoking strong feelings of helplessness. (i also imagine she could have some guilt over her part in causing the fire, even though it was in self defense). just complicated feelings overall, as she says she feels bad for him and how it was pathetic and terrifying.

intrusive symptoms (bb99 #17): she gets a flashback when nelson throws a rat onto her head during a science class which is a rlly interesting scene bc of how it depicts the rat in her eyes - malicious and huge, a clear flashback to the giant rats patrick had & threatened her with. rats of all kinds are clearly a trigger for her.

avoidance of triggers (bb99 #17): she avoids the sight of rats - closing her eyes and refusing to look at them both when the rat is on her and when terry is holding her away from the rats when they go crazy - as well as avoiding them in general: “get it off me - leave me alone! tell them to leave me alone!”

chronic heightened arousal (bb99 #17): she displays a lot of anxiety and paranoia regarding rats, thinking that she’s being watched (they are, but she isnt actually aware of that) and that the rats are out to get her: “the way it looked at me… the way they all looked at me… like they knew me. like they were trying to tell me something.”

there isnt actually really a point to this i just rlly like that they actually thought about how the whole experience would impact her and how it has an actual lasting effect on her!!

i think there could be a rlly interesting narrative when she finds out patrick survived (again) bc the closure she gets at the end of issue #17 would get ripped away like it did when she found out he survived the fire (“he’s gone. i’d know if he was still alive. i’m sure of it.”). vigilante dana when.

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Dana Tan

Heralding from an upper class family, Dana was classmates with Terry McGinnis at Hamilton High School.  The two began dating shortly before the murder of Terry’s father.  The relationship was very close despite the fact that Dana’s father very much disapproved of Terry due to past difficulties with delinquency.  

Dana and Terry continued dating after Terry became the new Batman.  He hid this matter from Dana, using his being employed by Bruce Wayne as a cover story.  She  tried to be patient with Terry’s odd hours and his not paying enough attention to her as he should, but it began to wear on her.  

The two broke up, got back together and broke up again, maintaining an on-again/off-again relationship that lasted years .  Being Terry’s girlfriend sometimes put Dana in peril, including run-ins with the Jokerz and well as her being abducted by a subterranean dweller known as Ratboy.  

Dana and Terry started seeing each other once more following high school and herein she learned of his dual identity as Batman.  Some time thereafter, Terry proposed marriage and the two were engaged.

Actress Lauren Tom provided the voice for Dana Tan with the character first appearing in the debut episode of Batman Beyond.

If I had a nickel for every time there was an underrated Batman-related character named Dana who has a genuinely compelling relationship (platonic or romantic) with one of Bruce's kids and helped them form a bedrock for their life outside of the cape despite never really getting the love that they deserve from both editorial and fans I would have 3 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened three times.
