Batman VS Thousand Owls : Bats VS Owls 

Alfred has no issues with killing I see...

Batman: I must not kill Alfred: *So anyway I started blasting*

While Batman is hugging Robin. The homie Nightwing is still pinned to a wall

Every time Batman needs help he calls NightWing that’s mad respect

I always love scenes where characters with no-killing policies get to let loose agains “technically-not-alive” enemies. It just reminds us, the audience, how strong they would really be without their moral code.

Batman, years of training. Alfred, just used shotgun.

Everybody's gangsta till Alfred whips out the shotty

Batman and Nightwing, the original dynamic duo but now both of them as adults and their own men and heroes instead of mentor and student, back-to-back when a bunch of enemies surround them. One of the coldest sights of all time to this day. So badass.

I love that Dick holds on to his parents' memory so hard that he never drops the showmanship habit. Even now at ~24 years old he's still doing tricks, flips, and flourishes (like his escrima sticks at 0:37) as though he's performing for an audience. And because of that desire to hold on to his parents' legacy, every Robin he's helped train since then has also picked up the habit of acrobatics and dramatic displays. Jason's entire persona of Red Hood is all dramatic poses and flashy displays (he did an assassination with a **bazooka** of all things and performs **so many** unnecessary flips while fighting hand to hand), Tim is always super practical but still does acrobatics and flourishes his staff like Dick does his escrima sticks and chose to use bright red and a dramatic cape for all of his Red Robin costumes (Especially the new 52 wing cape), and now even Damian has picked up the habit of being mouthy and adding flourishes during battle even though when he first started out he was always deadly serious. Even Cass kinda looks like she's dancing while she's fighting after joining the Batfamily. Dick not only kept his family's teachings alive but he turned it into a heroic legacy.

So that's why Batman doesn't kill. Because Alfred does it for him. What a boss.

Everyone's talking about how Alfred shoots people, but there's a comic where he's loading a shotgun and he says, "Perhaps you relied on my master's vow against using lethal force. Let me assure you that I subscribe to no such niceties." He's so polite while he commits murder.

I love how he fully concedes at the beginning he can’t beat Batman without an army of support

1:59 I absolutely love when Batman locks Nightwing insode the cave. It's his way of showing how much he cares about him and doesn't want him to be even more injured. Perfect writing.

Owls: "He's just an old man, he doesn't have Batman's training!" Alfred: "Indeed, and there's something else of his I don't have as well." Alfred: [cocks shotgun] "A code against killing."

Alfred using a shotgun will always make so much sense

Honestly I love Talon as a character in the comics, he gets his own series even. But it makes so much sense how this goes. He's been defeated, he knows batman's code and that his son carries it too, and he knows it will break both of them if Damien kills him. So he pulls the knife forward. He sacrifices himself for victory. He also knows that the Court just has more Talons to call on anyway so his death doesn't really change anything. Man Court of Owls was such a good read. I recommend it. But this movie seems like it really shows his original character as a devoted assassin to the Court really well.

i actually think that "youre all in my head, but where am i" line is a really good one, damian is pretty well-hated by most people because hes kinda like all the bad and external traits of batman but only those on top of his combat prowess from the league, but we dont actually know all that much what hes like underneath all the confidence and bravado that he has as robin, or if there even is anything underneath that persona, cuz he was never really allowed to have much else, going from essentially a child soldier to a sidekick to batman

Meanwhile in a parallel Earth, Owlman is fighting an army of Bats.

Any DC movie with Nightwing: *exists* Nightwing’s right arm: Ight, imma head out

I just love how realistic Talon and Batman’s fighting is and how it looks in animation

I don't read the comics but I do see snippets of them from time to time and one of my favorite ones I've seen was of Bruce being mad at Alfred about 'hiding guns in his house' and Alfred replying that, yes, he did, and Bruce will never find them all

Bruce and Damian are hugging meanwhile night wing is still stabbed up against the suit display cases just waiting for someone to help him get free lol

Imagine being a very skilled ninja, that's been training brutally for your whole life, just to get shot by a butler 5:39

Batman cussing is weird, but him being protective over his sons is just beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Batman’s physicality has been animated perfectly here.

Talon: Give up, Batman. You can't defeat an army of the living dead! Batman: Wait... you mean, you're already dead? Talon: Yes. Batman: As in... nothing I can do to you at this point would count as murder, because you're all just reanimated corpses. Talon: Yes. I don't know why you keep... oh, sh... Batman: Alfred, play my jam.

"Alfred, why did you use a gun" "I used rubber bullets, sir." "Alfred there are 54 dead ninjas at your feet" "Well, in my defense they tracked in dirt on my freshly swept floor, sir." "And yet shooting them would still track blood on the floor. Wait, none of them are bleeding, where's the blood?" "I used rubber bullets, sir."

I love how these DC animated movies really show Bruce’s love for his son.

"now I'm only gonna say this once you sons of bitches" And also "get the hell out of my cave" Gotta be the best line Batman ever said tbh It's the way Batman said it was pretty funny

On killing the bad guys: Batman: "I just cant cross that line" Alfred: ( with gun): " I am much too old to care"

Meanwhile Nightwing is still impaled to a wall while Batman and Robin are hugging.

Just to clarify for anyone who doesn’t know… The talons are undead, so Alfred using a gun on them isn’t breaking the no kill rule (That’s why Batman keeps blowing them up with explosive baterangs and cutting their heads off)

"You think you can stop him alone??" "Who says I'm alone?" Dude just admitted he can't stop batman alone.

Batman: "we fight, with our hands" Robin: " i got a sick ass dagger to slice you with" Alfred: " *gun* "

Batman- I think I forgot something Robin- If you forgot then it wasn't important Batman- yeah you're right Nightwing- 'still pinned on the wall'

Scary thing is, he's probably had training sessions more intense and life-threatening than this entire battle.

Bruce and Damian having a heart to heart. Meanwhile, Dick: "Guys, I'm still pinned to this wall up here!"

"End of the line, Bruce. Or should I say Batman?" * sees Batman * "Well, shit, I said that in the wrong order."

Batman may have a "no kill" rule...but Alfred begs to differ.

Alfred: You know, Batman doesn't kill... *Pulls pout shotgun* Alfred: Do I look like Batman to you??

that was the most tense emotional Batman scene I've seen.

No joke, I actually clicked on this thinking I was actually gonna watch the goddamn batman fight 1 thousand owls

Sun Tzu: "You must always attack the weak" *Enemy proceeds to attack Batman instead of Alfred*

Poor Nightwing. Batman and Damian down there exchanging travel plans and he's pinned with two knives to the batcave.

We deserve live action version of Batman's combat like this

i just love how vicious bats is when he knows they aren't technically alive, so he just wants them gone

Batman: No kill rule Alfred: Bro what are talking about huh. *Starts shooting*

Shoutout to Dick for fighting an army of talons, while dealing with impaled limbs.

"Damien, listen to me.....Stupid boy"

when the only writers that like nightwing are in young justice

They did Nightwing so dirty here. He is more than capable to stand up to the Talons. Batman, in the comics, has remarked that Dick is especially hard to fight because of his dexterous mastery of acrobatics and overall world class agility. He’s top 5 (probably top 3) in terms of acrobatics. I hate how much they make Damian OP in the current DCAU (he beat the hell out of Deathstroke as well). Having him put up a better fight than Dick is a disgrace.

I like how they all stand waiting for one of the to be defeated so nice of them

These are the best fight scenes I’ve ever seen. They should make more Batman movies like this.

Top 10 charecters who could defeat thanos even with the infinity gauntlet Alfred with a shotty

Nightwing: Uhh... Bruce? Uhh, heard the whole father son thing thing, but I'm still *impaled* into a wall. Can you get me down?

The animation for the hand-to-hand combat in this film was crazy

Gotta love it when there’s 100 enemies and they all come in one by one

Can we get a moment of silence for that poor soul that caught like 20 hits from night wings batons in 2 seconds like a got damn dbz combo?

Title:“Batman vs thousand owls” Nightwing: “am i a joke to you”

Batman doesn't kill he just beats you till you don't wanna live anymore.

I love how Alfred just goes at them with his Trench Canon lol.

The Owl: "Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives all the--" *ALFRED WITH A SHOTGUN* The Owl: "God help us all."

Batman be like: They had us in the first half

Batman doesn't blush, so they gave him bruses for the hug scene

How nice of Alfred to use a shotgun and make it fair for the talons by not using any of his true power

"End of the line bruce... or should I say, batman" Batman in full costume: "HOW DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT??"

*”NOW I’M ONLY GONNA SAY THIS ONCE YOU SONS OF BITCHES!”* Damn!

People be forgetting that Alfred is LIKE DAT 😤

Batman and Nightwing: * hand to hand fighting Alfred: " meanwhile i started blasting"

"Batman doesn't kill" he just gives you brain vegetable damage.

0:54 Bats gave that dude like a 12 piece combo without breaking a sweat.

Nobody’s talking about the relationship that Bruce and Damian have at the end. Damian is always portrayed as the rebel; the outsider against Bruce’s philosophy. A little bit of “I’m proud of you” and that fatherly love towards Damian would have helped him immensely.

There. I watched it. Now get it off my feed.

Alfred got a lot of disrespect in this segment lmaoo. Robin "Shut up and listen" Alfred: "i recieved some good infor-" Batman:"open the damn doors" lmaoo

Bro hit the square circle triangle combo

5:40 Alfred always stays strapped wit that 12 gauge

Wtf, so basically Nightwing is just hanging on the wall during the whole end of the video 😂

The most powerfull being in DC....Alfred with a shotgun

Lmao its so nice of those ninjas to approach a few at a tiime while the others watch judgementally from the side

Best batman fights of all time.

There are three things you dont want to mess with 1. Batman 2. A pissed of parent 3. Batman being a pissed of parent

They changed this story to make Damian look cooler. Batman beat Talon the comic after 3 days without food or water and after being stabbed in the back, yeah it was badass.

idk why people didnt like damian. I found his whole arc interesting and I dont understand how people found him "overpowered". This is someone with the blood of both batman and Rhas, not to mention he's been training since he was born. Idk seems reasonable to me.

The way Batman lops 3 heads off in one swoop... Oh my lord he can kill if he wants to

“Damian, listen to me!” *listens* “Stupid boy!” *Charges*

I love how Nightwing suffered several nothing-to-sneeze-at knife wounds. And yet he still is able to do acrobatics and other bulshittery without seeming to be in any sort of pain or having any sort of negative reaction to said acrobatics. 😂

I have never seen fight scene like this this was fire 🔥🔥🔥

I really like this batman’s design and voice

"You'll be safe here." *While slowly drowning Damien*

4:45 Finally a chance for Nightwing to shine 4:53 Goddamnit 5:20 Oh, okay, it's not over 5:26 *GODDAMNIT!*

The cut offs are perfect lol “Damian, listen to me, you stupid boy”

I love cuts in dialogue for clips like this because we get a beautiful moment like, "Damien listen to me.... STUPID BOY"

Admittedly I like watching Nightwing fight more than batman. Sure Batman’s got all the gadgets but Nightwing has all the flair, he does a lot of cool flips. Lol

biggest take away.... Bruce really hid the Batcave thermostat

When you think about it...superman can hear all this going down from like..miles away.

I come back to watch this and Batman fighting Shredder the first time

“Give it up Bruce, or should I say Batman” is it just me or is that a weird order for that, shouldn’t it be the other way?

Batman: Don't use guns guys Alfred: Ch-Chick

He said "kid" like he ain't got like 5 more smh

0:53 look at those crispy wombo combos 😩😩😩🥶
