Batman: The Animated Series
Episode 30
Perchance to Dream
Batman gets stuck in a dream world by the Mad Hatter where his deepest desires are given to him. Bruce Wayne’s parents are still alive and he’s engaged to Selina Kyle. Batman is a separate persona that fights crime. Bruce/Batman figures out it’s a dream, jumps off the top of a building to wake up. He wakes up, beats up the bad guys, confronts Mad Hatter. Mad Hatter states he wanted Batman out of the way for ruining his life and so he can enact his plans without interference. Hatter than cries like a giant wuss.
Perchance to Dream is recycled in the Justice League Unlimited episode For the Man Who Has Everything. This one works well but when they revisit the premise in JLU, it’s off the hook.
