Do Real Batarangs Work like the Movies? 

I am aware that More throws are required and there are a lot of variables here but hey this one is just for fun 👍🏼

*in throatiest voice possible* "I'm not wearing gambeson"

To be fair, Batarang's are based on shuriken, and shuriken aren't especially deadly. They were primarily tools of distraction and that could give minor injuries to open up the target to a follow up attack. Killing with them is possible. But not easy. Like if you had amazing aim and power and targeted someone neck, then yeah, sure, you'd kill them. But you'd more likely use them to cut someone's exposed hand or face so they drop their guard or just use it to make a noise in the opposite direction of where you want to go. The lethality of shuriken (and by extension Batarang's) is massively overstated. Btw in Batman The Animated Series, Batman uses the "Bat-Star" in "The Last Laugh" and "I Am the Night". Which have a more practical and more shuriken like design.

I feel like as Batman doesn’t “kill” a 50% of not hitting the target with the sharp bits is a good thing especially if you don’t want to kill them

I wonder if anyone else remembers when Batarangs weren't stylized throwing blades and used like actual boomerangs with a cord to ensnare badguys.

Really like this channel, it's different enough from the main channel that it's always fun to watch even when the topics overlap. Keep up the great work T!

Love the Batman transition! I was hoping for The Animated Series Batarang. Specifically the long thin one. Not the one that is more like half a disk. Though, I think the disk one would work well with practice as well.

2:53 I'm gonna say this because I haven't seen anyone else has, but dang Tyranth looks good in that getup

I can see this being a nice series project. Do groups of three Batarangs per video and when you have them all (all the interesting ones) then do a head to head/ finale video.

7:08 I think you nicked the top of the squash before hitting the tree

"A Shad is coming. . . . Someone like you, some to rattle the Nates. . . "

Yeah, but you need way higher amount of testing throws to get any form of significance. 10 throws each from 4 different distances and you would have "enough" to get a good idea. (can be off camera- so less time spend)

Nice choice of background music. I've been missing some good R&B.

Tyranth content! I was so confused that you mentioned making these in the Shadiversity video a while ago, but hadn't seen them here yet.

Almost 10k already. Well done.

I have the testing music stuck in my head.

It's actually quite interesting seeing how the different Batarangs fit their respective Batmans. Batflecks' Batarangs stick into their target much more easily as he aims to inflict as much damage as possible. Bale's are able to cut but not severely injure and Arkham's Batarangs are mainly used to knock out or simply incapacitate foes, not injure them.

Your throwing accuracy is scary amazing.

Man doesnt realize that hes doomed himself to eventually test all the batarangs😂

On your next test video, test for range. See if the smaller or lighter ones can go as far (and as straight) as a bigger/heavier one.

My favorite Batarang is Batman Beyond,cool design and ,i think would perform well. Great video.

By the end, dude really got pretty good at slinging those wacky things!

The channel has serious grow potential! I subscribed. The concept all about screen testing gadgets, a novel RU-vid channel idea.

I’m really enjoying the channel so far, keep up the good work! Oh and I would like to formally suggest the name of the dummy to be Iron Dan.

It’s amazing that you have that old Shogun Marvel comic on the shelf. I got them when they came out. I don’t think I was really reading yet.

It would be fantastic if you could invite some *shuriken expert with you to test your batarangs* and to explain different functionality. You could find them from ninjutsu, chihou, and some European knife masters. Nice video, I would love te see more of this!

If you take the akham one, split it in the middle, mirror one half and put it back together you get the same effect as with the blade knife. It just works soo much better.

Batarangs are probably carbon fiber. With the amount Batman carries, any metal would be too heavy.

this was entertaining. i'm curious, as to whether or not most of the original Lego ninja weapons from the mid 80s to early 90s, would scale up to workable props for testing. that would be interesting, especially since the main three weapons, were a katana, a kunai and a ninja star, also called a surukin or throwing star. i know that having those things, outside video usage can be problematic, however i'm curious enough to suggest this idea.

you should design your own one based off the Blade throwing scythe thing you did before, maybe a batwing pointing in each direction. Seems like that would give the most effective bat-erang

These videos are great. Keep it up brother

"Nope, nope, nope, nope. Alright, first try!" -Lego Batman

I think I would say there was a clear winner, if Arkham hits 50% of the time its bang in the middle, however on a human sized target it is probably more reliable getting both prongs stuck in the target rather than just the one of the batfleck"s

I think that would be very interesting to test not just diferent batarangs but the way you throw them, you did all the same way, but you could try different techniques. One that I find very interesting is the way experts throw poker cards (and manage to pierce and cut things).

Be honest..... the big gorgeous looking Batarang on the thumbnail for the video. Did you get that in the Batman Arkham Asylum video game that came in the special edition Batman emblem plastic box that had a doctor's Journal and the dossier of all the profiles of the most serious criminals in Arkham Asylum???🤔...😅

While in modern vernacular they are batarangs, originally batarangs were blunt and these would be razor bats. He didn't start using these till after Moon Knight started using his crescent darts and the Frank Miller gave Batman something similar in Dark Knight.

The main use of the bat shuriken... that's what these are, different from the batarang... was to be used to pin clothing to walls, or inflict only minor wounds, like throwing a ring a keys at someone, without seriously wounding or, possibly, killing someone. They were never meant to be high damage items.

Loved the video my only criticism really is for the arkham batarang, there's a lock in the middle to keep it from folding on impact, but that's really just more of me being a nitpicking nerd than it is a criticism. Can't wait for more in the future!

You can tell that Tyranth really enjoys his work. 🤗 I love it!

Probably difficult to test in a grassy field, but how about distance throwing? Which is more comfortable? Which is easier to use? How far can each fly? Do they stay accurate over distance? etc. They all look beautiful, btw.

Ok, I think it would be cool to test distance accuracy. Like how far away can you be from the manikin and hit at least 3 times in a row. Every 3-5 meters should be a good reference. "Though it would be a lot of walking back and forth." Honestly, I thought Batfleck was going to do poorly. Less pointy things and all that.

Not bad but can be much better if "wings" are in opposite directions :) Just watched blade video and now I know a lot about throwing weapons lol

I would be curious if one design over the others had a better effective range.

To be fair, if any of those hit me in the wrist while I was pointing a gun… the guns going down lol and I’m probably nursing a broken bone.

More throws of the saw blade would have been good. Because being circular and the sheer number of sharp points, it has more potential to cause cuts and sharp pain then the batarangs. Even better, remove every other or every 3rd tooth and try again... maybe less likely to bounce?

The quality of these vids obviously deserve way more views. Perhaps us fans should help out for reals, at least once in a while.

Trying to do a batman voice i somehow sounded more like Schwarzenegger instead :D Anyway great video, that was a lot of fun to watch.

now I know why Batman throws Batarangs even with the no kill rule. they can hurt when they hit but the chances of killing someone with a batarang is slim

Definitely want to see more baterang designs i think it would be fun to have a definitive list of baterangs which ones work and which don't. Although it's not really a list since most of them would probably either work or not work.

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Those seem wicked!

2:44 You know, you could put some Batman music in there, right? From Batman Arkham series for example. Just to get the mood and tone of the video right. As for the Batarangs, they are all deadly. You just have to understand how to throw them so that they actually get stuck in the target. Cause when you throw it in the wrong way, then it just gonna bounce off.

man I wish I could have seen this sooner!!! Also, 10K views! CONGRATS MAN! And c'mon, guys, give the channel a like if you watch it!!! YOU REALLY NEED TO if you want to see more content!!! These creators are getting SLAMMED by RU-vid!

Background music you used when making the Baterangs 2:10 to 2:50,sounded fantastic!...name please.

The real issue was the throwing technique. Often times you threw the arkham design backwards. I think if you did some practice with the different styles you might get different results. Cool video

*recalls something about throwing rotating metal objects into trees*

Damn dude, I'm constantly impressed by how good your aim is!

Beautiful craftsmanship as always!

How about the Adam West version...out of wood. Looking back, it makes sense for the era. Kid oriented show from the '60s, so they were meant to knock out the henchmen. But now that I've suggested it, I wonder what to bother testing about it. 🤔

Nice vid. You filmed it before Chad, right? Keep it up.

Rubber batarangs with razor blades mounted on the ends are better because it could bounce back into the target

Really enjoy your videos. Always appreciate seeing the fabrication. Keep up the good work

Tyranth is an amazing shot! Goes to show that the bat symbol makes a great throwing weapon!

It all comes down to the Speed, RPM and Distance. With enough practice...They all should work.

More than just using more designs, you need to do more throws. No way of knowing what the margin of error for this is, but you're *well* within it. You have a hit rate of 50% on average and are within one throw of that on every single one of them!

Could you make Jetstream Sam's quick draw assisted scabbard done with airguns or co2 cartridges?

If only modern Batarangs could return if they missed like a boomerang, though becoming shuriken like did made them look cool on screen and in games.

I have no idea if this effected anything but I noted you threw them all, for want of a better description, it was in an ears front grip I have no idea if a change of orientation will effect anything also your Arkham baterang may need adjustment as the game one seem have a flatter orientation and yours more resembles the Blade glave with a more hooked shape. In a little side note the Baterang from the 60's batman was more of a bludgeoning weapon

I enjoyed this and think you are correct. I throw shuriken and depending on the point styles all work pretty much the same. Thanks for all you time and efforts. Take Care and Stay Safe.

The standard you hold yourself to is as high as ever! Always incredible content when you're involved, brother 🙏🏽 With that said though I'm here praying you make some Bloodborne trick weapons to test 😂 I know they might be dangerous to the user in most cases, but man they are cool

Awesome Video! Keep up the good work and really looking forward to the next Batarang test!

Great video. Small note, you threw the Arkham batarang wrong throughout the video. Look at how Batman throws them in the game. Not sure if that’s an aesthetic thing or an aerodynamics thing though.

Great tests of batarangs, the dark knight is the best of the three , yu should make test of call of duty BO4 knife or red hood knife. It should be amazing.

I got the switch blade one stuck in my foot after it bounced off the tree I was trying to get I can guarantee it will not kill just hurt

Neat video! I’m curious to see more designs tested!

Awesome video! 😊

I like how he recognizes that sawblade steel is very tough If you don’t have the money to buy proper high-grade steel, just use an old sawblade 👍

Just wish the midsection on the Arkham's one where more in the games style

In relations to lethality, I feel like the Arkham batatang would have a higher chance of actually killing someone due to its size and deisgn where you could have an inch of steel embed itself into 2 different points versus the one point that you'll get from the Bale/Affleck variants. But Batman doesn't kill so that point is irrelevant. I personally prefer the simplicity of the Bale design though (which could be my bias towards his version of Batman as a whole), but I can see Affleck's variant being potentially easier to throw and the Arkham variant would be better in close quarters fighting as you can actually hold it somewhere that isn't sharpened.

name for the dummy: david the deadman

could be an idea to try out Riddicks Furyan Ulaks

Now to follow in the wings of Arkham you need to make a few with cameras on them and a few with shock and various other attachments. Ok I'll settle for the bat shaped pointy things .

For one of your future videos, you should test the glaive from Krull.

nice cool vid!

Next up. The sawblade gun from far cry new dawn ❤

It comes down to the throwing technique, Bro. All are weapons. Just gotta figure out the best technique for throwing them.

impressed by your use of the saw blade. like the native americans, you used all of the buffalo.

Is today Batman day for me? I happened to grab my Batman shirt today before finding out about the OSP detail diatribe on Batman and then watching this video too.

With only 2 ends that can really stick in, distance matters so much.

Got the QMX replica at home. Thing would legit cause a TBI, definitely a weapon. *It's a Batfleck

I think the Arkham is much heavier and needs more force in the throw. but when it hits, the damage is significantly greater. the Bale is small and dense, best at weak-medium target. the Batfleck seems to be in the middle. you need force to throw it, but it stronger then the Bale

Basing one of the Batarangs on the Arkham versions? Well got 4 games to choose from.

As a union welder, i know that was a lot of grinding

3:09 HIS NAME TONY‼️

I would like to suggest "Ironmir" for your test dummy (in honor of long suffering Boromir on Shadiversity).

"Where are they" - the 10k subsribbles

Please make the Batman the Animated Series batarang come to life. Honestly of all the batman actors Kevin Conroy gave us the best and most amazing performances as batman. May he rest peacefully.

Rather like the Aussie batarang, it keeps returning to you.

anyone else get slight Jedi vibes from Tyranths testing clothes?

Nice video... but where's the Adam West representation?
