going over a list by Screen Rant, the most terrifying things from Batman. 6 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,640 His war crimes, basically. 7 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,840 Again, this is from Screen Rant, so we'll see how terrifying it really is. 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,040 I can probably think of some worse ones. 9 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,600 You said it was 15? 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:36,600 15. 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,600 I got 16 to start. 12 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,440 All right, but before we do, like, share, and subscribe to the channel. 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,520 You can

00:00:57,200 It's a TikTok. 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,560 This guy goes to this, I guess it's supposed to be McDonald's, and he's like, can I get 20 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,560 a water cup? 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,520 And the guy gets, it's funny because the guy gives him the water cup, right? 22 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,920 And the guy has all four of his fingers in the cup as he hands it to him. 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,200 It's very subtle. 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,200 If you don't pay attention, you miss it the whole time, right? 25 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,560 Because in the comics, only one person commented on it. 26 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,920 But when I was like, that's nasty. 27 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,080 Even the guy reacted like, what the fuck? 28 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,000 So he goes to get water, and he's looking at the water, like a little tab to press for 29 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000 water. 30 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,240 And he's like, fuck it. 31 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,440 He doesn't say anything, he's like, fuck it. 32 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,560 And he starts putting the little water cup under the Sprite. 33 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,160 He's like, hell yeah. 34 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,720 He turns around, and of course, Batman's standing there. 35 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,480 He's like, is that water? 36 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,120 Batman takes a sip of it, right? 37 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,760 He's like, Sprite. 38 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,880 And then he beats the dog shit out of the guy. 39 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,480 He beats the hell out of him, right? 40 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,280 Like consistently. 41 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,640 And then he's like, you want Sprite? 42 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960 And then he's fucking waterboards him with Sprite. 43 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,300 End of video. 44 00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:56,680 You want Sprite? 45 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,920 It's fucking hilarious. 46 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,360 There's a lot of people that do that though. 47 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,280 They do the Batman being overly zealous? 48 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,600 No, I mean, like there's a bunch of people that try to get a free Sprite by asking for 49 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,600 a water. 50 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,360 Hey man, if I wasn't supposed to have it, it shouldn't have made it clear. 51 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,840 Yeah, but one's bubbly and one's not. 52 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,240 If your water's bubbly, you got other issues. 53 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,600 Hey man, my water always bubbles. 54 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,200 It's carbonated sparkling water. 55 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,200 Sprite. 56 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,720 The way you say Sprite. 57 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,160 And he just beats the shit out of him. 58 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,160 That is hilarious. 59 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,960 It would be funny if you were doing that though. 60 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,320 Batman shows up behind you. 61 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,320 Oh shit. 62 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,240 Or like there's that one where he's in a playground and there's somebody that throws trash on 63 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,080 the playground and he slides down the slide. 64 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,080 Deliring. 65 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,080 Yeah. 66 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,840 But this is a list from Screen Rant. 67 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,340 So we'll see how far this goes. 68 00:02:56,340 --> 00:03:00,800 So they have a number 15, the last moments of the killing joke. 69 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,000 Alan Moore and Brian Bollins, the killing joke is probably the defining joker story 70 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000 of the modern era. 71 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,520 And it's no surprise that it finally was adapted into animation this year. 72 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,840 Wasn't it also like, oh, it's now the canon or origin of Joker 2. 73 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,840 One of three, I think. 74 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,160 No, they said that was the original Joker. 75 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Now they said because in the, the, the three jokers, 76 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,200 the killing joke joker is the original Joker. 77 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,760 And somehow he made two other jokers as his lackeys. 78 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,760 So they would be three of them. 79 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,960 Well, that's why they're all acting so different. 80 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:32,960 Yeah. 81 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:39,080 And the two of them die in the, in the story, leaving the original joker from the killing 82 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,760 joke, the actual joker. 83 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,440 So that's a better, that it's, it's a, it's a soft, it's part of the black label and not 84 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,440 their actual continuity. 85 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,440 Yeah. 86 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,520 But it basically said, yeah, the Alan Moore killer killing joke joker is the real joker. 87 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,880 That's how he became joker. 88 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:56,880 All that storyline. 89 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:57,880 Surprise. 90 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,880 Yay. 91 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,520 Cause I know that there was three different types of like, uh, mentalities of Joker. 92 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,520 Yeah. 93 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,520 It turned out it was three, three dudes. 94 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,360 Cause you got the killing joke joker. 95 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,160 You had the one that, uh, from the 1940s, that was campy. 96 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,120 And then you had like the gangster joker. 97 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,120 Yeah. 98 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,120 Like the more dark edge one. 99 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,120 Yeah. 100 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,520 Well, now we know. 101 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,520 Now we know. 102 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,520 Yeah. 103 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,600 And they never actually came out as, oh yeah, yeah, that's it. 104 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,600 Uh huh. 105 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,600 That's the one baby. 106 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,960 By showing the joker at his absolute worst and at the same time showing glimpses of a 107 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,160 more tragic backstory, it gives us a better understanding of the joker psychology than 108 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,120 almost any other story to date. 109 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,840 The book examines the twisted relationship between Batman and the joker, what it means 110 00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:43,480 to both of them and questions how different the two really are. 111 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,280 The ending of the book also has one of the scariest Batman moments ever written. 112 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,080 Two different interpretations exist. 113 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,480 And while both differ tremendously in regard to future stories, either the joker is alive 114 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,320 or he isn't, both versions are equally disturbing. 115 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,640 Here's what we know for sure. 116 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,720 At the climax, after all the atrocities of the joker has committed to Barbara Gordon, 117 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,840 Jim Gordon, and so many others, the clown face mass murderer tells a joke and Batman 118 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:09,280 laughs with him. 119 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,200 What happens afterward is up to the reader. 120 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:17,000 In the panel above the in continuity explanation is that Batman is grabbing the joker's shoulder 121 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,280 as the two enemies share a laugh together for the first time. 122 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:24,720 Alternatively, many readers believe that he's grabbing joker's throat and that this story 123 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,240 is intended to be seen as the final moment between the two adversaries. 124 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,000 Batman has finally been pushed too far and as he snaps, strangling the joker to death. 125 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,760 Either way, this moment is totally instability. 126 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,440 It's terrifying to see from a normally calculated figure like Batman. 127 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,560 Well, spoilers, three jokers kind of split that one to rest. 128 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,560 You didn't fucking choke him to death. 129 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,760 I mean, if he did, that would have been where it looks like he's just holding his shoulder. 130 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,320 He's like choking the fuck out of it. 131 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,320 I did like that. 132 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,880 Yeah, because he just puts his hands like it's just so random. 133 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,160 Batman's like, oh, you're they're both laughing their asses off. 134 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,160 Right? 135 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,160 Yeah. 136 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,720 And like one one hand on the shoulder, another hand on the shoulder. 137 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,160 Then they pan down really slowly. 138 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,040 I'm like, well, you might fucking choke him to death. 139 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,040 It was just so out of character for Batman and Joker to have that weird like camaraderie. 140 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,040 Yeah. 141 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,040 Comaraderie. 142 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,040 I think it scared Joker too at the end. 143 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,040 He's like, oh shit. 144 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,040 What? 145 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,040 Oh fuck. 146 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,680 Number 14. 147 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,880 That time he became a vampire. 148 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,860 We did mention the whole drinking blood thing, considering that Batman has existed for three 149 00:06:28,860 --> 00:06:30,720 quarters of a century at this point. 150 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,720 When did they what? 151 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,720 Yeah, he was a he was a. 152 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,400 No, we didn't mention the drinking blood. 153 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,120 When did they? 154 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,120 This is screen rant. 155 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,440 So they're expecting to read all their articles on Batman. 156 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,440 I have reference to what they're saying. 157 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,440 I would assume. 158 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,440 Yeah. 159 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,440 Fuck. 160 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,640 I'm not going to say that this is screen rant, so I'm not going to take credit for this one. 161 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,320 It was also a matter of time before someone wrote the story. 162 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,840 Luckily, it occurs in an alternate universe. 163 00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:58,720 So we still get to read human Batman stories today. 164 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:04,320 Nonetheless, the Batman and Dracula trilogy stands out as one story that finally transformed 165 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,200 Bruce Wayne into a true creature of the night. 166 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,920 In the first part of the trilogy, Batman discovers that Dracula is real alive and preying on homeless 167 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,800 people in Gotham. 168 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,040 Sure enough, surely enough, Batman ends up getting bitten and transformed into a vampire, 169 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,080 which gives him the strength to defeat Dracula's horde. 170 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,600 He lures Dracula's forces to Wayne Manor, impales Dracula on a tree and then becomes 171 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,100 a new leader of the vampires. 172 00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:32,280 By the third part of the trilogy, Batman is busy murdering and drinking the blood of all 173 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,160 of his old enemies until he finally kills himself by exposing himself to sunlight. 174 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,600 Dark very much. 175 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,080 I'd be I'd be taken aback if I hadn't read the fucking doom that came to Gotham. 176 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,440 It becomes a bad at the end of that one. 177 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,440 I'm kind of already there. 178 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,240 You remember that one? 179 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,240 Yeah. 180 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,240 Remember I gave you that book? 181 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,680 I couldn't I couldn't I couldn't handle it. 182 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,160 Then they made the fucking adaptation to that. 183 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Yeah. 184 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,160 It looks good, though. 185 00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:59,160 The adaptation. 186 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,160 Yeah, it doesn't look too bad. 187 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,160 It still turned into a bad idea. 188 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160 Yeah, I think they just can't get rid of that part. 189 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,160 It was man bad. 190 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,160 Man bad. 191 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,160 Cacaw. 192 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160 For some reason, like a bird. 193 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,640 You know, it's the only game non non horror game that gave me a jump scare. 194 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Really? 195 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,600 Was Arkham Knight when you're walking you're climbing up one of those towers or a skyscraper, 196 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,600 right? 197 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,600 Yeah. 198 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,600 And the man bad pops out of you. 199 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,600 Just get a shot of me. 200 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,840 You're not expecting it ever in that game. 201 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,840 Yeah. 202 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:36,000 He's just like, no, that'll get you. 203 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,000 I forgot about that. 204 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,360 I forgot that that was actually in that. 205 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,360 I'm scared to shit. 206 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,360 Yeah. 207 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,360 Yeah, because it is. 208 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,360 It's very abrupt. 209 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,720 Yeah, because you've been climbing up fucking buildings the whole fucking game and all of 210 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,480 a sudden this motherfucking pops out of nowhere. 211 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,480 Just completely out of nowhere. 212 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,040 And like a completely mundane sequence that you've done for like three or four hours. 213 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,040 Right. 214 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,040 Yeah. 215 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,160 It's suddenly interrupted by a giant man sized bad. 216 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,960 All right. 217 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:03,960 Number 13. 218 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,120 The Batman begins the first appearance of Batman. 219 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,760 One of the common complaints about the Burton Schumacher Batman movies was always how robotic 220 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,760 Batman was. 221 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,960 Bucky, armored and rubber so thick he couldn't turn his head. 222 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,600 If I could turn my neck you'd be dead. 223 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,840 And usually marching down streets like a bat terminator. 224 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,320 The Batman in the 90s films was a sharp contrast to the fluid stealthy movements of the comic 225 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,580 book and animated versions of Batman, which disappointed many fans. 226 00:09:32,580 --> 00:09:37,720 The big open reveal of the dark night in Batman Begins forever changed the paradigm. 227 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,400 First, Batman was portrayed less than a super cop and more like an invisible monster lurking 228 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:49,160 in the shadows, pouncing upon Falcone's thugs and turning them away from unknown fates as 229 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,760 the remaining ones fired into the darkness. 230 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,240 The most menacing moment, of course, is when the thug screams, where are you? 231 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,240 Here. 232 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240 Yep, here. 233 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,080 This all accumulates in the scene where Batman rips Falcone from his car, announces his name 234 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,680 and then change the mob boss to a searchlight. 235 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,880 This is this was when Batman who had come from a horror movie, not a superhero flick, 236 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,880 and it made for one of the most memorable scenes in any comic book movie to date. 237 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,680 You agree with that one? 238 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:24,160 Come to think of it, Batman would never allow himself to have that weird, like, unable to 239 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,480 turn his neck shit. 240 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,680 Because it would be so tactically disadvantageous. 241 00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:29,680 Yeah. 242 00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:31,960 He would never have let himself have that fire. 243 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,500 I can't turn my fucking neck. 244 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:35,360 That shit would be that would get you killed instantly. 245 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,360 Yeah. 246 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,800 If you can't turn your fucking neck, he would never have come out like that. 247 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,160 He'd be like, what the fuck am I thinking? 248 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,160 It wasn't for Tim Burton. 249 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,200 Yeah, but it was dark, at least. 250 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,200 Yeah. 251 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,040 But I mean, like, that is that that's not a Batman trait for him to himself to give 252 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280 himself such a horrible disadvantage. 253 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,160 But doesn't that show you how decent the films were that you really didn't pay as much attention 254 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,160 to that? 255 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,560 I paid attention because that's how my mental state and all the people didn't. 256 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,920 But he was like, you gotta turn your whole fucking upper body. 257 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,240 See, I was paying more attention to Catwoman. 258 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,640 So she didn't have that issue. 259 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,680 I never liked her in that movie. 260 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:13,680 She was scary. 261 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:14,680 Just scurried me. 262 00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:15,680 She scurried you. 263 00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:16,680 She had the whip. 264 00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,680 You were thinking dominatrix, weren't you? 265 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:27,520 No, I was just thinking like, man, she is really rough around the edges. 266 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,440 Mostly towards the end, where part of her costume gets fucked up and her hair comes 267 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,440 out. 268 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,440 He's all fucking crazy looking. 269 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,440 Yeah. 270 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,320 Another thing about the Dark Knight trilogy, the new one with Christian Bale. 271 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,320 Yeah. 272 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,080 He also had a really slow fighting style. 273 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,080 Yes, he did. 274 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,920 That did not make any realistic sense to me. 275 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,920 No. 276 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,480 I'm like, this is bad, too. 277 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,480 Yeah. 278 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,480 Like it was bad for a different reason. 279 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,480 Yeah. 280 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,160 I'm like, no one would fight that slowly. 281 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,160 And that's how they had them. 282 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,680 But then you had Ben Affleck's Batman. 283 00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:57,680 That wasn't bad. 284 00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:58,680 That was Batman. 285 00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:03,040 As much as I didn't want to see Ben Affleck as Batman, at least it was fast paced fighting. 286 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,240 When he had that actual, that was the best portrayal of Batman I've ever seen. 287 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,240 Yeah. 288 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,240 Just that one scene. 289 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,240 Yeah. 290 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,240 When we smash the dude through the floor. 291 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,960 He's just fucking throwing motherfuckers all over the place. 292 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,760 Like six foot two. 293 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640 His suit's probably upgraded to have enhanced strength. 294 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,640 Yeah. 295 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,200 He's fighting guys three or four at the same time. 296 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,720 And wasn't it more of a take on the Batman Returns? 297 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160 Yeah, a little bigger muscular one, yeah. 298 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,160 Yeah. 299 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,720 But that, that portrayal of that was good. 300 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,720 At least in my opinion. 301 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,040 Like that's something I could expect the comic book to do. 302 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,400 The only thing that he would have done if it was actually Batman was that he had knocked 303 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,400 the power out of the lights. 304 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,400 Yes. 305 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,400 Should have been complete darks when he started whipping their ass. 306 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,400 Yep. 307 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,400 So that's a Batman thing. 308 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,880 You can't do that for movies because then you don't even see nothing. 309 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,960 Well that's why we get to see it. 310 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:54,960 The villains don't get to see. 311 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,960 Yeah. 312 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:56,960 It's like, where is he? 313 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,960 Over here. 314 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,240 But him slamming people into walls and shit. 315 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,640 He punched a guy so hard he fucking came to the floor down. 316 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,160 No, the, uh. 317 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,600 And then they just did him dirty. 318 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,600 The rest of the fucking movies. 319 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:18,040 I will say though, the one thing I did like is the penguin, Danny DeVito fit that perfect. 320 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,720 The fag grotesque penguin. 321 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,080 Man, he was pale. 322 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,080 Yeah. 323 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,080 He's a pale penguin. 324 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,600 And he had flipper hands. 325 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,360 He did that really well though. 326 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,480 Number 12. 327 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,480 Batman Begins. 328 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,080 Swear to me. 329 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,480 Luckily for Batman Begins was filled with scary Batman moments. 330 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:45,280 And we're just going to roll right into the, into the next insanely freaky concept excerpt. 331 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,400 Christian Bale is Batman, electrocutes the screen whenever he appears. 332 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,160 More like a wild animal than a man. 333 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,660 Forming a sharp contrast to the movie's very human and vulnerable Bruce Wayne. 334 00:13:54,660 --> 00:13:59,280 But as threatening as Batman may be when he's beating up criminals, he's a hell of a lot 335 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,120 scarier whenever he's interrogating them. 336 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,040 When Batman interrogates Flass, who swears to God that he's telling the truth and growls 337 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,040 the now famous line. 338 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,040 You are talking to him. 339 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,040 Basically what you're saying. 340 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,040 Yeah. 341 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:18,200 It's a moment that is as terrifying for the audience as it is for the crooked detective. 342 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,220 In that moment, it's clear just how much Bruce Batman, Bruce's Batman personality pushes 343 00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:24,880 him to the brink. 344 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:29,320 All of the rage and inner torment that Bruce has experienced is seeping through his pores 345 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,680 and his voice is now no longer fully human. 346 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,040 Re-watching Batman Begins, it's worth noting how perfect Bale's Batman's voice is. 347 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,320 Though it became too exaggerated in the film's sequels, his Batman Begins voice struck the 348 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,600 perfect balance between man and beast. 349 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,920 You know, you know, my favorite line from that first movie was where he leaves Rajah 350 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:55,200 Ghul into into to dry in that fucking like it was, I guess it was that train that was 351 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,200 just fucking. 352 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,200 Oh yeah. 353 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,200 That was the thing. 354 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,200 Yeah. 355 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,200 It's still about the slam into a wall, right? 356 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,200 Yeah. 357 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,640 He's like, I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you. 358 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,200 I've done that line so much that I do it with a Mario accent now. 359 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,200 I want to kill you, but I'm not going to save you. 360 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,880 I want to kill you, but I'm not going to save you. 361 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,880 He shows it to Bowser. 362 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,400 Yeah, I want to kill you, but I'm not going to save you. 363 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,320 I know you're saying that the second part is so fast, but you know what I'm saying? 364 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,360 I want to kill you, but I'm not going to save you.

00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,600 Not a plot line. 420 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,600 Not a log line. 421 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,600 If you have a finished script that is your currency. 422 00:18:00,600

production house turned down that movie 428 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,520 Sound of Freedom. 429 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,520 Sound of Freedom? 430 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,520 That came out not too long ago. 431 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,520 Yeah. 432 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,600 It's made like four times as money back now. 433 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,600 Fucking trillions. 434 00:18:26,600

methodical that sometimes it's easy to 438 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,040 forget just how tangled his mind really is. 439 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,820 After all, it takes a lot for someone to get in a bad costume and beat up criminals. 440 00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:56,640 And even more for that person to devote their entire adult life to something as impossible 441 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:02,360 as eradicating crime, much less having the dedication to actually be successful at it. 442 00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:07,880 At one point, Bruce Wayne volunteers for an isolation experiment wherein Dr. Simon Hurt 443 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,600 implants a post-hypnotic trigger into his mind. 444 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:18,640 The phrase is Zaranar, which is a mishearing that Bruce had of his father's final words. 445 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,440 They'd probably throw Zorro and Arkham before the man was murdered later on. 446 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,440 That's what his dad said? 447 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,440 Yeah. 448 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,440 Huh, that's weird. 449 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,560 He said that right before he got killed. 450 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,560 Later on, the black glove uses a Zaranar trigger against Batman. 451 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,000 Combined with a cocktail of drugs, resulting in an irrational amnesiac Bruce Wayne becoming 452 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,240 lost in Gotham's back alleys. 453 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,720 Bruce ends up putting together a rather odd costume and calling himself the Batman of 454 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:52,120 Zaranar, hallucinating a character called Batmite and causing all kinds of other crazy 455 00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:53,120 happenings. 456 00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:57,200 The brightly colored Batman is far more violent and dangerous than his regular counterpart, 457 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,880 though luckily Bruce has soon snapped out of it. 458 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:00,880 Huh. 459 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:01,880 Yeah. 460 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,880 He's kind of like crazy. 461 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,320 Wait, so is it like a zone self story or is it like Batman? 462 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,560 No, it's canon. 463 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,680 So Batman got tricked into some weird like mental... 464 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,440 Well, he volunteered for it. 465 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,840 Batman volunteered for some bullshit. 466 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,600 And like because he's still Batman deep down, but he was insane at the moment, he just made 467 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,280 some random Batman costume. 468 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,320 He called himself Batman of Zaranar. 469 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,720 That's so fucking weird. 470 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,520 I think I actually, I still have two of those comic books, but yeah. 471 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:30,520 That's weird. 472 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,520 Yeah. 473 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,680 It's like a, he looks like a homeless person besides something putting his costume together 474 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,680 and everything where he's got like all these rags. 475 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,720 Yeah, the only difference between him and a homeless person, he's like built like a 476 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,720 tank. 477 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,720 Yeah. 478 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,720 It's like, yeah, you're not homeless. 479 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,800 Number 10, The Dark Knight Returns. 480 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,120 Frank Miller's classic The Dark Knight Returns, one of the most influential comic books of 481 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:55,320 the 1980s, tells the story of what happens to Gotham when Batman disappears and then 482 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,000 when he comes back. 483 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,400 But his return, though needed, isn't a glowing radiant sun in the sky. 484 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,280 It's a lightning bolt striking down on the forces that have corrupted the city ever since 485 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,640 he vanished. 486 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,640 During Batman's decade of retirement, Gotham is overrun by a gang of mutants. 487 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:10,640 Why is he... 488 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,040 So he retired at 45 then. 489 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,040 If Returns was 55? 490 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,560 Yeah, I think so. 491 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:16,560 Damn. 492 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,920 He wasn't that old when he retired. 493 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,800 Yeah, but imagine jumping off a wrist and shit. 494 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,240 Your legs would be fucked by the time you're 45. 495 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,680 He should be like fucking five foot two by the end of his career, honestly. 496 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,080 With his back broken, his legs fucked up. 497 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,040 My back's killing me. 498 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,400 Didn't they address that in The Dark Knight Rises? 499 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,400 Yeah. 500 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:41,040 I mean, just like you got no ligaments in any of your knees, your back's all fucked 501 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,040 up. 502 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,000 You guys are like, what have you been doing, Bruce Wayne? 503 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000 Spelunky. 504 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000 Spelunky. 505 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,000 Steam. 506 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:55,120 Widespread corruption spreads and the United States prepares for World War III with the 507 00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:56,720 Soviet Union. 508 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,160 Superman is now the government's loyal lapdog. 509 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,360 Finally, Bruce Wayne decides he's seen enough and becomes Batman once more, hitting the 510 00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:08,840 streets with grim vengeance, leaving blood and broken bones in his wake. 511 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:14,360 The epic finale has Batman don an armored suit in a violent confrontation against Superman 512 00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:19,280 that served as inspiration for this year's or whenever they wrote this by Screen Rant, 513 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,680 Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. 514 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:26,160 Though the comic book portrayal of Superman is lacking, the battle itself is unforgettable 515 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,600 and it's no surprise that it finally made it to the big screen. 516 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,360 That tells you when the Screen Rant wrote this. 517 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:33,360 Did you bleed? 518 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:34,360 You will. 519 00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:35,360 Martha. 520 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,760 You broke my fucking car, by the way. 521 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,760 Fucking asshole, I've got to walk on. 522 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,960 Number nine, locking up KG Beast. 523 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaking of the Cold War Batman stories, another of the caped crusaders darker moments was in 524 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,360 Batman number 420. 525 00:22:52,360 --> 00:22:53,360 Go figure 420. 526 00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:55,640 He's a pothead. 527 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,400 Where his actions clearly violated his usual no killing code. 528 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,400 Wasn't this Azrael? 529 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,440 No, this was actually Bruce. 530 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,240 The story pits the dark knight against a villain named KG Beast, a brutal Soviet assassin sent 531 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,960 to kill 10 government officials, including the president of the United States. 532 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,720 Oh, and the president. 533 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,720 Oh, no problem. 534 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:16,720 Except one dude. 535 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,720 And the president. 536 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:26,200 KG Beast proves to be Batman's equal, succeeding at assassinating almost all of his targets. 537 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,240 At one point, poisoning an entire banquet of 100 people just to knock out the one he's 538 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:31,240 aiming for. 539 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,240 Got him. 540 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,240 He's so subtle. 541 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:34,240 Got him. 542 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,240 I got him all. 543 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:44,200 Even when Batman gets KG Beast hand tangled up in his back rope, the assassin grabs an 544 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,800 axe and chops it off. 545 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:46,800 Later, bro. 546 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,440 Later, replacing with a cut the rope in my hand. 547 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,160 You dumb mother. 548 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,400 Later, replacing with a cybernetic machine gun. 549 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,360 It's pretty clear that there's no stopping this guy. 550 00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:01,360 And even if Batman does manage to capture him, he's only going to be shipped back to 551 00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:03,360 the Soviet Union and released. 552 00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:07,480 Finally, Batman ends up leading KG Beast to the sewers of Gotham. 553 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,600 At this point, Batman does the unthinkable. 554 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,160 He locks KG Beast into an underground room with no resources and no water or food and 555 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,640 walks away and walks away. 556 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,640 Let me die. 557 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,640 Yeah. 558 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,640 Damn. 559 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,120 Not something you necessarily expected from Batman. 560 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:26,040 But yeah, I won't kill you starvation. 561 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,680 Will die eventually. 562 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,680 What if he lost his mind? 563 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,240 And that was his rationale from now. 564 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,080 I won't kill you, but the fall will. 565 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080 I won't kill you, but this knife will. 566 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,080 But these bullets will. 567 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,080 They just lose his fucking shit. 568 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,080 Like a bad, you're good. 569 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,080 You're legit killing people. 570 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,080 It wasn't me. 571 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,080 It was other stuff. 572 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,080 It was the it was the gun. 573 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,080 I won't kill you, but the batmobile will. 574 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,080 But oh shit, Batman's lost his fucking mind. 575 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,080 But yeah, apparently he did lock somebody up. 576 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,080 Look at the ego. 577 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,080 Left in me. 578 00:24:50,080 --> 00:25:00,640 He's a horrible prison warden. 579 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:01,640 Number eight. 580 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,120 And hence the fear gas hallucination. 581 00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:08,880 When you take a figure like Batman who uses fear to strike at the hearts of his enemies 582 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,600 and pair him up against scarecrow, a villain who achieves his crime and crimes through 583 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,760 the use of fear gas. 584 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,880 There's two things that everyone wants to know. 585 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,080 First, what does the fear gas do to Batman? 586 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,920 And second, what does Batman look like to someone under the influence of fear gas? 587 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,980 Since scarecrow has been rumored to appear in the movie since 1997, fans had been waiting 588 00:25:30,980 --> 00:25:35,160 to see both of those things come to life on the big screen and Batman begins delivered. 589 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,280 The movie shows a glimpse of Batman via fear gas hallucinations, both of which are subtly 590 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,280 demonic. 591 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,880 In one, we are see we see him flying over the narrows with glowing eyes looking like 592 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,640 a name to his namesake. 593 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,320 The scarier and more memorable hallucination, however, is the one that scarecrow himself 594 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,800 experiences when Batman douses him with his own fear gas. 595 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:59,240 Batman's interrogation techniques are scary enough, but when complemented by the monstrous 596 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,560 vitiage above, it takes on a whole other level. 597 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,760 It's not so surprising that Crane goes crazy and starts riding a horse through Gotham soon 598 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,760 after. 599 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,040 Yeah, if I remember, Crane looked like he was getting a hard on watching Batman. 600 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,960 Look at that sexy monster. 601 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,160 He looked like he was excited as fuck. 602 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,040 Like he loved that shit. 603 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:23,160 Not to mention the actor Cillian Murphy, who played scarecrow. 604 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,720 He auditioned for Batman. 605 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,720 Did he? 606 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:26,720 Yeah, they didn't give it to him. 607 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:27,720 I don't know why. 608 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,440 There is test footage of him, you know, being Bruce Wayne. 609 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,440 Yeah. 610 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,200 And he was way too skinny. 611 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:38,760 If you if you Christian Bell was too skinny, Cillian, he was like five foot seven, five 612 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,760 foot seven Batman. 613 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,760 And we already had that with Michael Cheaton. 614 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,480 We don't need that again. 615 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,480 Let me be Batman. 616 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,480 Five foot three, but I'm a beast. 617 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,480 Let me be Bane. 618 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,480 I won't kill you. 619 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,480 I won't kill you. 620 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,480 I can't even do his voice anymore. 621 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,480 Wait, I'm not doing bad. 622 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:53,480 That's why I said I won't kill you. 623 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,920 Do you hear me, Batman? 624 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,640 I'm five foot three. 625 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,640 That would be funny. 626 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,640 I put on the mask. 627 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,640 Darth Vader said, you know, it's a burn. 628 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,640 That's why I love that. 629 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,640 I think Tom Hardy was five foot seven. 630 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,560 Yeah, I think he's five. 631 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,560 Every time they meet him, right, because they love him like, damn, I thought you were taller, 632 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,800 you know, no, no, the better. 633 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,760 How tall I am strong. 634 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,360 I hit number seven. 635 00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,760 We have the death of Abattoir. 636 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,120 Now an important disclaimer here. 637 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:37,800 This Batman isn't Bruce Wayne. 638 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:45,400 So see in the comic books when Bane breaks, Bane breaks Bruce Wayne's back over his knee 639 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,160 just because he breaks his back. 640 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,720 Yeah, it knocks the caped crusader out of commission for a while and the void left by 641 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,720 Bruce's absence, a new man must take up the cape and cowl. 642 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:03,000 And that Batman ends up being Jean Paul Valley, formerly known as the assassin Asriel. 643 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,280 Asriel ends up being pretty far from an ideal Batman, employing violent techniques that 644 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,040 Bruce Wayne would have never been OK with. 645 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,280 In fact, Adrian is kind of crazy and increasingly delusional. 646 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,920 This culminates whenever his murder of the serial killer Abattoir, when Asriel of the 647 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:27,080 Azbat allows the villain to fall to his death in a vat of molten metal, a la Terminator 648 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,080 2. 649 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,120 And I can throw the thumbs up up. 650 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:31,120 Thumbs up. 651 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:37,120 An action which also indirectly results in the death of one of Abattoir's prisoners. 652 00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:40,560 They was trapped inside a secret torture chamber. 653 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,640 Shortly afterward, Bruce Wayne comes back to reclaim the Batman mantle. 654 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,640 What the fuck, bro? 655 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,640 You let him die? 656 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,640 Exactly. 657 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,520 I'm like, there's a skeleton of a Soviet spy in the chamber. 658 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,760 Don't you ever talk to me about letting people die. 659 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,040 Don't you ever open your fucking mouth. 660 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,640 Yeah, but he didn't throw him into it. 661 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,640 He just locked the door. 662 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,640 So we are just nitpicking. 663 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,120 Pretty much. 664 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,960 Number six, JLA, the Tower of Babel. 665 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,520 The Tower of Babel. 666 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,320 Of course, Asbat is nuts, but even regular old Bruce Wayne has a dark side. 667 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,600 Really, his super cold hard calculations about everyone around him sometimes seems a bit 668 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,520 more super villainous than superheroic. 669 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,320 This trait comes to the forefront in the Justice League story Tower of Babel, wherein Ra's 670 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,180 al Ghul steals Batman's personal files and finds a pleasure that the Dark Knight keeps 671 00:29:27,180 --> 00:29:31,400 meticulous records on how to take down each of his Justice League allies. 672 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:36,040 Ra's uses these exact methods to bring down every member of the Justice League. 673 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,440 Thanks Batman. 674 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,480 Of course, Batman would never have employed those methods except in an emergency, but 675 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,000 it's pretty creepy that he has them, especially considering their violent severity. 676 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,620 The assassination techniques that Batman devises includes the use of Scarecrow's fear gas to 677 00:29:50,620 --> 00:29:59,000 make Aquaman aquaphobic, trapping Wonder Woman in an infinite combat scenario in a virtual 678 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,680 reality, a specially designed bullet that will cause the Flash to have super fast seizures, 679 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,760 as well as freezing Plastic Man with liquid nitrogen and breaking him into pieces. 680 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,240 Dirty tactics for sure. 681 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,800 You think Batman has nude photos of all of them? 682 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,800 Probably. 683 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:15,800 Why? 684 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,800 You asked the question. 685 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,240 I don't even know, why would you need to? 686 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,240 It's Batman. 687 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,240 Look at how George did again. 688 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,240 Batman. 689 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:31,720 I mean, sometimes people do stuff just to do them, I guess. 690 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,400 I guess so. 691 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,400 Number 5, The Dark Knight, the NSA style supercomputer. 692 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,680 Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is a post 9-11 movie in every way. 693 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,520 Unafraid to address political issues relevant to today's world, The Dark Knight in particular 694 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:51,800 showcases the battle between Batman and the Joker as a battle of ideologies as much as 695 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,380 a battle of fists. 696 00:30:53,380 --> 00:30:57,680 The conflict between order and chaos, controlled violence versus free violence. 697 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,280 While Batman is obviously the more heroic of the two figures, though you'll see some 698 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,400 articles which claim the Joker is the real hero if you look for them, he still comes 699 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,720 out of the movie with a pretty serious dent in his moral armor and some big questions 700 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,000 to answer to. 701 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,080 The Harvey Dent lie, of course, becomes a big part of the third movie, but Batman's 702 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,680 biggest, scariest moment in the film is when he reveals to Lucius Fox that he's got a 703 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:27,200 sonar supercomputer capable of spying on the entire city through people's cell phones. 704 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:32,080 Lucius immediately proclaims that once the task is done, he'll resign, since he believes 705 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:38,720 no man should have access to such an enormous violation of people's privacy, but he doesn't 706 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:44,240 have to quit, as it turns out, since this computer self-destructs once the Joker is 707 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,200 defeated, presumably since Batman agrees that it's too dangerous to exist. 708 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,480 But nonetheless, it is a violation of privacy, and Batman is guilty of committing it. 709 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,160 Sure, it helped him to defeat the Joker, because it was in Batman's hands, but imagine 710 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,760 if someone like Bane had found it. 711 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,720 I remember when he showed Lucius, right? 712 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,280 Like this is, Lucius is like, this is wrong. 713 00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,920 And he said like, I'll help you this one time, because we got to stop Joker, but as long 714 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,000 as this is here, I won't be. 715 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,360 And then he tells him like, all right, when you're done, just put it in the password, 716 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,360 and you can leave. 717 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,360 And they say, what's the password? 718 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,360 Here's your name. 719 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,440 Or some shit he said, I don't know. 720 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,920 And Lucius types in the password, like, fucking, it's a great scene. 721 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,920 He walks away, right? 722 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,000 And he's walking, the shit just starts blowing up. 723 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,680 All the TVs start fucking exploding. 724 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,680 He's over here like, oh, thanks. 725 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,680 And then he just blows up and kills him. 726 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,840 That'd be fucking hilarious. 727 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:44,840 Or just takes him out. 728 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:51,800 By one time, the Batman miscalculates, like, oh, shit. 729 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:56,520 Number four, the entirety of Arkham Asylum, a serious house on a serious earth. 730 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,520 Oh, yeah. 731 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:05,080 That's a dark, that's also a really, what's the word, abstract art style they wrote. 732 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,080 They drew for that. 733 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,080 Yeah. 734 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,040 Shit is freaky. 735 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,800 If you want a glimpse into what it's like spending a night in Batman's mind, or the 736 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:19,640 mind of one of psychological, excuse me, psychopathic bad guys, then read Arkham Asylum, a serious 737 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:25,320 house on a serious earth, the trippy, horrifying 1989 graphic novel by Grant Morrison, no surprise 738 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:31,480 there, and Dave McKean, deeply symbolic, nightmarish, and surreal, with some of the most mesmerizing 739 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,240 artwork ever to be featured in a comic book. 740 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,240 Fucking trippy. 741 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,240 Yeah. 742 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:41,200 Apparently, the mythology they created there would later on influence the characters of 743 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,200 those villains. 744 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:49,440 So like, whoever's in those, their characteristics and personality traits carried over to the 745 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,440 rest of it. 746 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,880 That was how innovative it was. 747 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,040 It gave them those like weird psychosis that they had, those mental problems, and they 748 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,400 just carried on forever. 749 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,000 Because it's like it adds some continuity to everything. 750 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,800 It added like some depth to their character. 751 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,320 That just didn't make them villains. 752 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,440 They made them like criminally insane. 753 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,680 Arkham Asylum tells the story of what happens when Arkham's inmates take over the looney 754 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,560 bin and Batman goes into an investigation to see what's going on, only to have trouble 755 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,560 finding his way out again. 756 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,600 Arkham Asylum is notable for its unique characterizations of Batman's rose gallery, especially the 757 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,720 Joker and Two-Face, but its stark depiction of Batman himself earns a second glance as 758 00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:28,720 well. 759 00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:32,680 More than perhaps any other work, Arkham Asylum shows a dark knight who could very easily 760 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,800 be one of the inmates himself, with a climax that implies that maybe Batman fits better 761 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,480 in Arkham's walls than he does in the outside world. 762 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,920 Stark, emotional, repressed, and always lurking in the background as a shadow instead of a 763 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:52,600 muscle-bound hero, Arkham Asylum takes a deep, uncomfortable look at an iconic hero. 764 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,200 That's brave. 765 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,680 Showing your hero's flaws. 766 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:57,680 Yeah. 767 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:01,360 And then having him last pretty much his whole psyche now. 768 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,280 The whole like overzealous obsession with taking care of crime. 769 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,520 He does not take care of his body. 770 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,520 He's taking micro naps. 771 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,520 He's going to take my micro naps. 772 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:10,520 I gotta get back out there. 773 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:15,400 Number three, Batman Year One, The Dinner Party. 774 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,400 Dinner Party. 775 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:23,640 When it comes to classic Batman moments, this one earns a top spot on every list for being 776 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,360 simultaneously scary, heroic, and totally badass. 777 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,760 In Batman Year One, Batman makes his grand entrance into the Gotham scene in an unforgettable 778 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,960 way. 779 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:39,080 By dropping in uninvited to a dinner party, held for all the dirty aristocrats. 780 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,680 Aristocrats. 781 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:41,680 Yeah. 782 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:42,680 I love that movie. 783 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:49,240 As soon as I said it, I was like, yeah, he's going to know what that movie is. 784 00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:53,480 Aristocrats, politicians, and mob bosses that collectively own Gotham City and have turned 785 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,840 it into a cesspool of corruption. 786 00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,880 As these powerful figures smugly discuss how this rumored Batman figure could probably 787 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:06,000 be politically advantageous to them, Batman cuts out the electricity and drops into the 788 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,000 party. 789 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,760 As the ominous demon opening the gates of hell, Batman gives the men a brief iconic 790 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,480 speech that none of them will ever forget. 791 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:19,880 They should have had one of those birthday cakes where the dripper comes out. 792 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,880 Batman's like, ta-da. 793 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:25,680 He gets started whipping the shit. 794 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,560 He's like, oh my god. 795 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,760 His statement was, ladies, gentlemen, you have eaten well. 796 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,200 You've eaten Gotham's wealth. 797 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,200 It's spirit. 798 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,440 Your feast is nearly over. 799 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,800 From this moment on, none of you are safe. 800 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,240 And then he snuffs out the light in more ways than one. 801 00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:43,240 He killed him? 802 00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:46,240 That's the only way he murdered all of them. 803 00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:49,440 That's the only thing I can think of. 804 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,080 Number two, Mask of the Phantasm, the first time he puts on the cowl. 805 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,080 There was one in the movie? 806 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,080 I would assume so. 807 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,080 There wasn't a comic book or anything? 808 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:05,200 Man, that is such an iconic scene where Joker's theme park hideout is blowing up and he's 809 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,640 defeated, Batman hit him so hard he lost a tooth. 810 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,480 That was the first time I saw blood in a cartoon, by the way. 811 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,480 Yeah, because it wasn't on a regular TV. 812 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,840 I was like, yo, he knocked his fucking teeth out. 813 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,960 And then the Phantasm has him by the collar, right? 814 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,280 He's on his knees in front of her and he just starts fucking laughing. 815 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,320 Starts laughing his fucking ass off. 816 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,320 And then they disappear. 817 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:32,040 And I'm like, man, Joker's on a whole other level when it comes to fucking insanity. 818 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,040 Yeah, he really is. 819 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,400 I might die. 820 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,480 I'm pretty sure that the implication was he did die, wasn't it? 821 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,480 I don't know if he actually did or not. 822 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,760 Because he was going to kill him because he killed her father. 823 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:44,760 I think so, yeah. 824 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,480 So she's like, and there was no way for him. 825 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:47,480 He was like done. 826 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,120 And he just starts fucking laughing. 827 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,160 I get the joke now. 828 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,920 This is the reason they say, though, there are a few things that fan base collectively 829 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,560 revere as much as Batman the animated series. 830 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:05,440 With its dark colors, dark deco backgrounds, and tremendous writing, this cartoon is one 831 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:10,360 of the most influential of all time, arguably having created more fans of The Dark Knight 832 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,200 than almost any other media depiction. 833 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,200 That's when I met him. 834 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:14,200 Yeah, same thing. 835 00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:18,960 But the high point of the cartoon came not on TV, but in the feature film inspired by 836 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,480 it, Mask of the Phantasm. 837 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:21,480 Hell yeah. 838 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,240 Alternating between a present day storyline, wherein a figure called the Phantasm is murdering 839 00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:30,520 aging mob bosses and a storyline in the past that shows how Bruce Wayne's love for a woman 840 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:38,840 named Andrea Beaumont or Balmont almost led him away from becoming Batman. 841 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:44,000 One woman pulls you away from all your hopes and dreams. 842 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,840 All your aspirations claws you away. 843 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,840 Mask of the Phantasm is a unique depiction of Batman's origins. 844 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,240 Unlike most versions of the story, wherein Bruce's evolution into the cape and cowl is 845 00:38:55,240 --> 00:39:00,440 presented in a more positive light, Mask of the Phantasm dares to show us how Bruce Wayne, 846 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,560 who came within inches of having a normal life, falling in love with Andrea and actually 847 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,560 being happy, only to have it snatched away by fate. 848 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,880 So when the movie finally depicts the outrageously epic moment wherein Bruce Wayne dons the mask 849 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:19,520 of Batman for the first time with the music swelling, it's not a triumphant one. 850 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:24,120 As he puts on the cowl of Bruce, the man is forever surrendering himself to Batman, the 851 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:30,160 icon, and doing this, he forgoes any chance at a happy life that he may have had otherwise. 852 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,960 In that moment, Bruce Wayne is abandoned and only Batman remains. 853 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:39,280 It's no surprise that upon seeing this new dark night, even Alfred is startled. 854 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,480 Happy wife, happy life, Batman, Alfred. 855 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,440 Happy wife, happy life. 856 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,400 Just like it walks in. 857 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,200 And then last one, it's one I had never heard of. 858 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,000 Batman has transformed into Bat-Baby. 859 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,240 Bat-Baby? 860 00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:59,500 But honestly, this is what Screen Rant puts. 861 00:39:59,500 --> 00:40:03,520 As terrifying as many of these moments have been, there's really nothing scarier or more 862 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:08,720 bizarre than the cave crusader being transformed into a toddler and still being depicted enough 863 00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,840 to continue his war on crime. 864 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:18,940 This is the result of a villainous scientist of the pre-dc, pre-crisis DC sword hitting 865 00:40:18,940 --> 00:40:25,160 Batman with some funky sci-fi gun that de-ages him into a younger form. 866 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:31,920 Luckily, Bat-Baby retains his adult intellect, strength, and agility. 867 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,800 Oh, God. 868 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,600 So he's able to continue being the vigilante he was before. 869 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,440 Once he makes it a costume that fits his new size, that is. 870 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,840 Sure, sure, it's funny. 871 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,840 Hilarious, even. 872 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,800 But imagine for a second, what would it be like in real life? 873 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,220 Imagine seeing a Bat-Baby crash through the skylight in those dumb black overalls and 874 00:40:51,220 --> 00:40:53,920 having him kick you in the face with those little shoes. 875 00:40:53,920 --> 00:41:00,440 Jesus, imagine him just fucking dragging you to the edge of a roof right, he holds you 876 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,440 over. 877 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,440 Talk, talk or you'll get this pinky. 878 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,720 Say, no, not the pinky. 879 00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:11,560 Imagine him making threats or interrogating you in an obnoxious squeaky little voice. 880 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,960 Imagine fucking Joker would be rolling his hands, he would retire. 881 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,920 He'd be laughing so hard. 882 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,920 As Robin stands in the background snickering. 883 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,280 Actually, you don't want to be subverted, like Joker doesn't laugh. 884 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,280 Yeah. 885 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,280 He actually takes this version of Batman seriously. 886 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:31,920 What if he was the only person, it's like the baby Batman will as we meet again, huh? 887 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,880 That'd be crazy. 888 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:40,520 Seriously, Bat-Baby, if it's not that nightmare fuel, then we don't know what is. 889 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,000 Luckily, the whole Bat-Baby incident was short lived. 890 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,120 I gotta love those good old pre-crisis days. 891 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,920 Jesus, they came up with everything back in the day. 892 00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:50,920 Bat-Baby. 893 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:51,920 Bat-Baby. 894 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:57,640 He had so much strength and his intelligence and everything. 895 00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:02,440 I imagine him going through rooftops, instead of him jumping around, he would just be tied 896 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,920 to Robin in one of those little baby seats to his chest and Robin would be jumping around 897 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,880 for him until they got to the location they needed to go to. 898 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,280 She would be like, put me down Robin, it's time to get to work. 899 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,040 Change my diaper Robin. 900 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,960 The night calls. 901 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:18,960 My diaper's full. 902 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:24,040 I am the night, then he sucks on a pazzle. 903 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,640 Didn't they do something similar to that though? 904 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,400 Yeah, Justice League. 905 00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,600 They were like adolescent. 906 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:33,400 They weren't teenagers, but they weren't babies. 907 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,800 They were like 10 or 11. 908 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,880 Yeah, and Batman was still Batman. 909 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,040 He kept turning away Wonder Woman, even her advances at that point. 910 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:47,080 They wouldn't even be advances, it'd be childhood like crush. 911 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,080 But he still turned her down. 912 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,080 They got time for women. 913 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,080 That's basically what it was. 914 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,080 Oh Batman. 915 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:56,080 Even at that age, fuck you Wonder Woman. 916 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,080 My only love is crime. 917 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:03,080 Now watch, he's the one that commits it all. 918 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:04,560 Oh man. 919 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,880 Those are the most terrifying moments that Screen Rant came up with though. 920 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:13,960 And that bad baby breaking through the skyline, my it's a bad baby. 921 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,520 I guess that would be kind of terrifying. 922 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:22,720 Not terrifying like his oh god run, but more of like what the fuck is that? 923 00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:26,200 Then he kicks your best friend standing next to you, like he's jaw cleaning up his body 924 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,200 with his size two shoes. 925 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,200 He goes boom, you're like oh shit Gary. 926 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:34,640 Gary's in a coma for the next 15
