@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 the theory was that after his perants death bruce when crazy and was locked up in arkham and imagines himself as batman with all his villains being reflections of people in the asylum as we see in the comic
if i were Bats i would find it VERY difficult to trust him after all he’s done lol, doesn’t the whole thing seem like it could be a long con??😭😭 in the last panel Joker guns down the whole family lmao
@@bryanburns4874 just like the comment above said, this joker is probably less evil. Besides in the end he just gave Bruce a simple more more "tame" puzzle than usual (Riddler would be displeased lol) which would be the least Joker thing he would do. (You'd expect maybe a Baine heart controller situation again, not nope...) Likely this joker is just as bad (or just a bit more) as the old villainous time of Plastic Man. Which we do know, is now a more heroic person trying to correct his wrong and become a better person.
@@ashurad_fox5991 yeah i just assumed this was the same continuity as all the Death Of The Family and stuff because it was all Snyder’s stuff, but hell shit’s been rebooted so many times i don’t think anyone knows what’s truly canon anymore lol that being said, Joker getting to be Robin was adorable, and Joker was even the one to give Bruce his inspiring speech at the end lol, it was heartwarming!!
Does anyone have a name for the one where the guy drugs him and Batman ultimately predicted the guy's suicide? Where Batman spends the entire time being locked in a zombie nightmare of all the souls he failed to save
That type of story works because Batman is a character who has a plan for everything. So when he can’t plan, you get a nightmare that needs to be reconciled. It’s pure mayhem and fun.
Okay but the idea of the entire world hearing Lex Luther tell them to just be evil, and everyone just going “sounds pretty cool man I’m in” to the point where even LEX HIMSELF was like “what the fuck his speech was WAY better” is so funny to me. Like even kids decided to start beating up heroes apparently it’s so fucking funny
Honestly, i think the most eerie and morbid part of this comic is that "Speed Force Storm". Imagine being trapped forever in a storm, constantly running, constantly exhausted, constantly in pain. No one can save you because the storm itself kills anyone that gets remotely near it in the worst way possible. Either they get aged up to dust or down to mere cells. And you'd have to imagine how that would feel, too... Once hit by the lightning, everything in the world including yourself slows down immensely, from your point of view. You are conscious through all of it, trapped in one seemingly endless state as you wait for yourself to age and die. Or, arguably worse, you feel your very mind regress at incredibly high speed, giving you a feeling akin to actual insanity as you feel yourself slip away in real time, becoming lesser and lesser, becoming weaker and weaker until you are... nothing. In both cases, you silently observe the storm... The miasma of tangled, tortured souls begging for release from theit torment, seemingly conscious of your fate and their part in it...
My friend theorised that Barry tried reverse the timeline but because there’s an imbalance in the anti life equation. It affected the speedforce. So he ended up in a speed tornado, then Wally tried to reset and then it happened to him. Then the first Flash tried and it also happened to him too. Now they are just one tornado. I love DC so much, it’s so darn metal
The way this started, I felt like they were doing a "Shutter Island" thing. Then it decided it was a Batman comic after all and did its own thing. Omega being the real Batman all along was too obvious, though.
Curiously, Omega's suit is heavily inspired by the one used by Bruce Wayne Jr., the son of Batman in the "Generations" universe. Upon becoming the third Batman, Jr. initially wore the same costume as his predecessors while forming a wholesome dynamic duo with Kara Kent (Supergirl). However, after Kara was horribly murdered the day of their wedding, Jr. was so devastated that he created a completely dark suit that hid all of his skin as a way to symbolize his new absolutist and violent persona similar to that of Rorschach and Azrael.
@@Lone_RocketIf you've ever read Injustice, Batman is able to concoct a whole plan against Superman as just himself and a handful of heroes. So idk to be honest, I kinda feel like Batman is supposed to be that intelligent that he really can just end the world if he wanted to. And that's why he's so great, because he holds so much power through influence/understanding/wits that he CAN do something world ending, but he uses it to make the world better instead. That's what makes Batman so great tbh. He has more power than anyone gives him credit for, and through everything, ALWAYS has the heart to keep going and fight for those who can't fight for themselves.
@@GanjjaCat And fail. He failed at every step until the classic Superman showed up and beat the Injustice Superman. Batman can't do anything to Superman.
@@GreaserMan lmao, true, they even tackled the issue about this already, about batman vs superman, who wins? And the comic just gives out plain and simple answer, "Neither"
This story reminds me a lot of a short saga in the "Rat-man" series. Basically this scientist create a device to rewrite reality and want to use it to erase all superheroes (because for him they're just a bunch of idiots running around in spandex) but he change is mind when this super evil entity reveal that is going to use this new reality to consume all the universe. To stop the entity the scientist then dicide to use the machine to write a new reality were heroes can inspire people to hope in dark moments. The entity mocks him saying that it will exist even in the world and will rise to consume it one day saying something on the line "What a single small light can do in absolute darkness?" to which the scientist replay with "everyone will be able to see it".
It’s funny how this plot is similar in quite a number of ways to Mega Man Zero. Post apocalypse, small groups trying to survive, you play as a clone of the original hero, the original hero turns out to the be the villain, and the villains are literally both called Omega.
This had the best tropes i like in this kind of story: good joker redemption, bad batman, villains splitting into siding with the heroes and going all in on villainy, all the op characters incapacitated so theres more tension and finally- a happy ending that makes sense and is satisfying
been thinking over scott snyder's final batman story: last knight on earth. i've come to the conclusion that it's about how the young will be more hopeful about the world over the people that are old. another thing i notice was that omega (older batman) became cynical about life and that made him become a loner. then you have younger batman who was more hopeful about the world and that helped him garner a community; the young batman started as a loner and then grew out of it. plus, where omega starts at is where young batman ends up being at. omega starts with hopefulness about the world, being in the justice league; but, at some point omega gets disillusioned with everything. this story starts in a dark place and is hopeful in the end. like joker becomes a robin and bruce is back in wearing blue. thinking about it some more, the three costumes that bruce wears is about his character growth: from a damaged person to a more put together person. with how dark and depressing it is at the start of the story, it makes thematic sense why young bruce is in a mental institution. because being hopeful in a world that is all dark and depressing, must mean you are mentally not all there. on a more metatextual sense, with three different batman looks for young bruce, is saying you can write batman 3 different ways and still be batman. you can write him on a more psychology level (with the straight jacket look), you can write him more as modern batman (being psychology damaged but at the same time being a bit hopeful), and a more hopeful put together batman (basically adam west batman) looking back when this book came out, it's interesting that this story came around the time snyder did his justice league run. this batman story turns into a justice league story. Also it foreshadows, scott snyder's ending of his justice league run; the ending for that run has the world chose the villains side over the heroes. for a more metatextual sense, it's about scott snyder's experiences writing for dc comics. now this might be a stretch but hear me out. snyder's famous thing starting out was writing for batman and then, the next famous thing he did was write for the justice league. another meta thing could also be inretrospect in last knight on earth, could be a commentary on new 52. it's been said before that the new 52 was "trash", but the one good thing that people always said was snyder's batman run. so the post apocalyptic waste land in last knight on earth, is the new 52 and the one good thing about it was "younger" batman. which one of the talking points about the new 52, was that the heroes were suppose to be younger.
This gives me big “marvel ruins” vibes. Stories like this are the ones I always wanna see turned into DCAU movies rather than the same general selection of justice league stories over and over again.
@@amrotamer6951 Eh OML feels like it's just a tour of a marvel universe where they can just make every character a monster, this one feels like it's trying to legitimately tell a story. Like OML has its place, but that place is being adapted into logan, a film infinitely better than the comics could ever be
Just watched three of your videos, and I’m so happy to find somebody who breaks the comics they read down in a similar way to myself! So refreshing. You read between the lines in a super unique way👌🏼 definitely earned my sub
I’ve been meaning to check out this comic for awhile. Scott got some flack for some of the stuff that happened during his run on Batman and I always thought that was kinda unfair. Thank you for covering it his comic. I think this is probably his best work involving Batman.
Brother! You've become a new favorite channel of mine. PLEASE make longer videos. Would love to see you dive into a story spanning multiple issues. Some of my favorite stories on individual titles that take place during an event (Like what Dr. Strange was doing during Civil War and how conflicts with taking a neutral stance later on)
I've not watched the whole video yet. I've hit like, but after 40 seconds, you've piqued my interest so much that I've just gone and ordered the first book! I'll come back to the vid once I've read it! 😁
I'm back! I hadn't connected some of the threads (since I hadn't figured out the timeline) but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. Your summary made a lot of things clearer, so I'm totally going back to read it a second time. Thanks for holding this story up for us all to see!
The start of this had me completely hooked in and by the end it was a completely needless element of the story. I was quite excited to explore the world of Batman the lunatic.
this could make a really good game, something about wandering around a reality bent wasteland as a ninja with a talking head. I mean the settings not drawn really just make your mind go wild too, like a crocodile people kingdom, some imp battleground with cartoon mists (wtf are those), a failed venture by an advanced star faring civilization resulting in a graveyard of starships and so on.
Hey man I must tell you i love this new style of videos! keep it up man! the story telling the voiceover everything about it really. I almost never comment in videos, but I had to compliment you in this case.
The entire medical facility section reminds me so much of The Darkness 2 during it’s medical-amnesia portion where villains and allies are just other patients making you question your own sanity
Sometimes for a concept to work you sorta have to hand wave certain aspects because well it can't ALL fall into place. Besides super-man is a boy scout enough to put his faith in humanity. So I wouldn't put it above him to do this.
