DC Comics Ruined It... | Problem With 

To answer 4:08, Batman didn't know about Failsafe until he was activated. Zur-En-Ar had been taking over randomly for years and building Failsafe without Bruce ever consciously knowing.

...and countdown until The Batman Who Laughs returns 🤑

I feel like Waller is starting to make DC's version of dark regin

I totally agree with you that DC is revealing too much in their spoilers and it makes fans not wanting to read how the story will go to get to big events. In my opinion, the problem with modern comics is Social Media and the Internet. People want to know things instantly because Social Media and the Internet give us information instantly. Before DC would give you just enough information as a teaser to make you want to read and find out how and what is happening. Nowadays, Social Media and the Internet reveals everything instantaneously, there's no reason to have the desire to read. Before the Internet and Social Media, DC would give enough information in their spoilers and it would make you want to read to find out what happened and why. The Internet and Social Media has really and truly messed up many things that used to be fun.

wasn't Zur-en-arrh already rebranded in the 2000s as a backup violent personality? Empathy not the same as compassion, btw darn spoilers

A Batman robot, because that whole OMAC thing worked so well.

"You just told me the whole movie!" - Batman v Superman trailer

Didn't Luthor's daughter become sort of a Brainiac type being back during tge Worlds At War storyline? She just popped back up in Superman recently too. Hmmmm....

From what I remember, Batman had had the knowledge of fail safe taken out of his mind so that he wouldn't be aware of it. In case he ever went rogue Alfred was the one that was keeping up with fail. Safe putting in the codes or whatever to keep it from coming online or to keep it from seeing a false alarm but went out for died. He no longer could do that and since Bruce had no knowledge of the robot at this point anymore, there was nothing he could do

Batman is just so boring, all this power but Twoface is still a problem?

4:06 when you're batman, there's no such thing as too many failsafes...until there is 😂

I guess Batman forgot about Brother Eye 😅🙄

Brainiac: Hey man, can I use this? * points at the female Ultron design from Mighty Avengers Vol 1 * Ultron: Yeah sure, just switch it up a bit to make it look like you didn't copy.

Controversial opinion, but I think it should have been Owlman instead of Zur En Batman. They have already reintroduced him. DC recently had an Earth-3 event, and Waller was there, creating her own league using the Crime Syndicate. Plus, Owlman is much cooler than Zur En.

DC keeps shitting the bed. First, with their event comics, then their movies, then their live action shows (barring Doom Patrol and Superman & Lois) and now their recent video games.

Can someone explain to me how Waller is still able to just do whatever she wants?

Failsafe kinda looks like a Power Ranger.

Marvel did the same thing by spoiling Ms. Marvel's death, but no one really cared.

Gotta read Grant Morrison’s Batman to understand the Zur-En-Arrh Batman. I’m surprised to hear you say people thought it was an alien parasite.

I member when they previewed Justice League Of America in Justice League Versus Suicide Squad issue 2. I was like... guess Lobo switches to the good side. Or when they did Batman Who Laughs and then did JL and Dark Metal. Or the tease of No Justice and the titans. Comics never change. 😂

5:46 wait what! That's dumbest idea I can think off

The three Jokers thing is completely stupid. The reason he may act so many ways should be that he is chaotic, and is just doing what he finds funny at the time.

Amanda waller working with failsafe. That going to be a problem

My predictions for Female Brainiaic. She's either going to be far more superior to the male version, or turn good.

I have high hopes that the public will stand up to the heroes against Amanda Waller as a huge homage to the episode of Justice League Unlimited Patriot Act.

Thank you for these videos, comics now are so dumb and wacky to me 90% of the time but I love hearing the stories. Wish they tried even a little to stay more grounded instead of all these split personalities and deaths and fakeouts and what not

Man, sometimes comics are too crazy

Can we go 2 years without a crossover event 😅😅😅

I agree especially with movie trailers trying to avoid them they still play them before other movies.

The Problem With DC Not Knowing What to do with the Legion of Superheroes

Kindda had the same feeling about the Injustice comics. Litterally nothing can happen or the Games can't happen.

Missed opportunity to pull in some fun comic book branding into the hot sauce to tie into your larger brand! I am sure you have graphic/brand designers, but if not I would be happy to help. Cheers!

I didn't get a notification for this video. Tga ks for the content Benny

I hate the failsafe comic (the one with the robot named failsafe) I like the comic until Superman showed up, and then it just made everyone incompetent apart from Batman

I just started buying comics again, mostly cause of the current Batman run. I was super hyped to see what Zur was gonna do with Failsafe's body and how it would go. Having that comic in my hand and seeing this new Failsafe Batman for the first time would have been so hype. Still cool but like you said, so many arcs I'm ok with just waiting for trades cause I already know happens in the end

Yo, we should call the female Brainiac Brandy lol lol

DC needs another hard reboot. They just need to stop this shit

I feel the current story can still have a conclusion Zur-En-Arrh can still be trapped and put in robot jail so much easier for Waller to use him later. what's really annoying me is how three personality in the same person could confuse the Mobius Chair?

Happy Saturday everyone.

Nah Benny im completely with you. And i think this is pay off why dc movies haven't worked. It doesn't need to lead to anything it just needs to have me give a shit in general about it

Waller was trying to concore Earth 3 in the pages of Suicide Squad. Is BarBatTos the catalist for Zur EN Ar? Two of the three Jokers were killed in 3 Jokers.

As J. Michael Straczynski is fond of saying, sometimes knowing the destination doesn't spoil anything because what's interesting is how you got there... hope that's true here.

Brainiac event? Oh boy. Who didn’t love the last one? Haha

I'm still not over the spoiling of the Batman Catwoman wedding why do they keep doing this

I’m still convinced Joker put an alien parasite from the Lazarus meteor fragment into Batman’s brain to make Zur sentient. Alien toxoplasma gondii. I think it’s possible this gets revealed in Batman 146. Also, correction. Bruce didn’t make Failsafe. Zur did.

10:57 you point on it, they could simply release this info when the arc end and fill the gap, with a side short history or a few one shots histories.

As a singles reader this is going to be a tough one 😅

Long shot, but have you guys considered covering Grant Morrison's _Seven Soldiers?_

Let's hear it!

Your beard is really good and inspires me.

Benny posted todays gonna be a good day

Waller has batman prep god robot failsafe

Could you do the story of Razer from green lantern

What is that Batman in the thumbnail of this video?

Oh nooo!! Benny broke himself at the end 😮 😂😂😂

When I heard about this event, I was happy because it meant this current arch is going to keep going for months, and I'm just enjoying the journey.

I hope to hear about static

Can you do Simon dark please 🙏

What about the Jurassic league returning 😊

Yooooooooooo!!!!!! You cut your hair!!!!!! Good look brotha!💯

I’m interested in dc comics again but I am not sold idea of this…

Comicstorian would you do a video on Batman The Legacy Cowl ? DC Comics first NFT Comic Book , as of now it only has 3 chapters and this is a 100% Fan Voted Comic Book. We voted for 3 Chapters.

Keep it up Benny!

They should've just shown the logo "ABSOLUTE POWER, COMING SUMMER 2024" to instill a sense of "Huh, I wonder this will be about" instead of just giving us all the info two months early :/

So I'm confused all the more with the 3 Jokers stuff. So this whole time it's been 1 guy who was trained to create alternate personalities. And seemingly from the ending of the 3 Jokers that's the one who did the killing joke. So how was there physically 2 other Jokers? Did that one Joker just kidnap 2 people and like converted them into those other personalities? I swear the more people go back and touch that story, the more and more it gets messy.

Didn't someone use that Batsuit in 'Battle for the Cowl?"

Could you cover Headline ? J.Jonah Jameson spiderman

Solicits promote stuff 3 months out Benny. Not 6 to 7 months.

Are we really still lazily misrepresenting Dissociative Identity Disorder as a source of drama? We can't find _any_ way to more believably incorporate psychological elements into a story?

And this is more fucked because Zur-En-Ar also seemingly wants to create a multiversal conversion of batmen. Converting every Batman into Zur-En-Ar. There seems to be so so much going on at once.

Brainiac building a new love doll. Who still reads this shit?

July is not in 8 months i dont understamd what you mean by needing to wait 8issues of batman

dope vid

I think failsafe is by far the dumbest idea. I'm happy that I can say I have a better look at him now that you said it was tied to the Justice League fail safe. But I still think it's dumb that Batman has a failsafe that can basically wash any hero

I think this is a problem with Marvel as well, take Moon Knight's death for example

Honestly I want to know people’s honest opinion on this arc with Failsafe and Zur en arrh

How many times is Batman going to put the world in danger, just because he can't trust anyone? Feels like these counter measures are used to beat his friends more than stop villains.

Yea even the solicits give too much away. I read all the Marvel solicits and I know more than I should put it that way!

Failsafe clearly going to get weaker

It could just be that Brainiac is making a "daughter" who is fit and can fight. So she's not intended sexy, it's a byproduct. Wow, even for comics all of that sounded convoluted. The Joker could just be nuts. He didn't need one of Batman's mentors being evil or some multiversal guy creating Jokers all over, and I'm not a fan of this take on Zur-En-Ar either. It just overly "epic" because everything has to be the biggest thing ever nowadays. I was happy with Batman just being a guy who was really smart, a martial arts and stealth expert, and just fought criminals so no other kid would suffer like he did, and even occasionally reformed crooks by giving them another chance.

The three jokers are the criminal the comedian and the psychopath identities. It's essentially a meta way to explain how different joker portrayals fall into specific archetypes in comic form. The criminal is the more mafia down and dirty fisticuffs henchmen having joker, the comedian is the deadly trickster goofy vaudevillian killer, and the psychopath is the rip my own face off dismembering scary no limits having monster joker.

3:10 that drawing of Batman is horrendous

I don't agree with the notion that a story doesn't matter if you know something spoilery involving one of the characters. I'm reading the story for the enjoyment of the story. It sucks that they spoil stuff but that doesn't take away from what may happen in the current story I'm reading. It's like when people said that since the DCU was ending then it made the last movies pointless. No what's pointless is Snyder adding plotlines he KNOWS he isn't coming back to. You can still watch those other movies for the sake of the story and your own enjoyment.

3 jokers, the first one, to me, is similar to mgs and liquid ocelot. Brainwashing someone into being a joker. Joker and ocot did it to themselves, it's not impossible to do it to someone else, look at mgs v.

Joker year one never explained why there were 3 jokers walking around

I find this funny. Man, what am I supposed to do when I follow news about comics. I know everything because I search for stuff online. Why should I be hyped? How am I supposed to care when I know everything? I look up everything. What am I supposed to be? How am I supposed be be excited by searching for news updates online? What am I SUPPOSED TO DO? Like, dawg, that’s a YOU problem. You are the one watching trailers, going to news to see what’s going on. That’s you. If you have some discipline and self restraint, you don’t go to search for news online and don’t watch trailers. [>

Triple Trouble would have been a better name than The Trinity Of Evil.

It's similar to Sony releasing the Spiderman: Far From Home trailer 5 months before Avenger's Endgame came out

Batman doesn’t use failsafe because he loves the game of Batman

I really just wanted to continue to see the Titans and Nightwing as the premier DC heroes. It'd be nice if DC just let their universe breathe and naturally have it move forward. I'd love for actual DC comics to feel like Young Justice.

Lame… this is why I let you read them for me

for me the problem with comics right now is that all the recent storylines feel anti climatic like G.O.D.S or the thanos miniseries

Joker didn't cut his own face, another villain did it.

Dr. Simon Hurt?

I will call this problem "Everything bagel", "`Cause you see, Put everything on the bagel, We becomes this. The truth. Nothing matters". If you know the movie, you know what I mean.

When didn't Batman send out Failsafe in the first place? Because robots go rogue all of the time in fiction, Benny.

i love amada waller bc shes real eating disorder representation. if they dc get oprah to play her in live action an opportunity will have been sorely missed

DC Comics Secret Crisis is Coming. The Batman Who Laughs will Return.

Wait Brainiac didn't already has daughter and what Brainiac is this, supposedly Classic Brainiac die before the metal event and his son take his place.

What ever happened to Mr. Freeze’s wife? Last I checked she was a villain.
