Man, someone really needs to investigate that Bruce Wayne fella. His kids seem to keep dying... then coming back. There's gotta be some kinda tax scam going on.
This video probably had the funniest change of thumbnail and title that I have ever seen. The whiplash of going from "Batman's son get's shish-kebab'ed" and a super gruesome artwork to "Grief." and an apporpiratly sad Bruce with his dead son in his arms.... Honestly kinda incredible.
Jason: "How dare you brought me to the place I had the second worst day in my life?!" Bruce: "Second?" Jason: "Yeah...That day Artemis told me she saw me just as her "best friend"...That sh*t was just too much..."
I know a lot of people rip DC for resurrecting Damian after the stages of grief, whether it’s the timing or for doing it at all, but regardless of our individual feelings for that, after reading these issues, a part of you likely can’t help but feel glad Bruce manages to get his son back.
This video brought a very, VERY sad tear to my eye,not a single batman story has got me this emotional except for this one,especially during the panel where alfred was doing the simulation, god, so well done.
The stages of Grief issues I think are some of the strongest issues ever written. And Pat Gleason and Mick Gray’s art brings it to life in such unforgiving detail. The expressions are heartbreaking. The melancholy pervades every panel. And the scene where Batman says he’s sorry for not seeing the depth of Alfred’s pain-for not seeing that he wasn’t the only one who lost a son-gets me every fucking time. Alfred’s pain is so real.
Honestly, that first issue of B&R you touched on is up there with my all time favorite single issues of any comic ever. The absence of any text or speech bubbles is staggering. Some of Patrick Gleason’s best work too.
The beginning was hilarious and yeah Batman has a history of losing Robin such as Jason Todd the first Robin he lost. But I think Tim Drake died too, I can’t remember how he died tho. This video made me feel sorry for Robin and we now know how he really feel about his son. Or should I say sons ❤🖤
I really appreciate the work you put into these man! I know many others do as well, I’ve been a big fan of yours for almost a year or so now, and your videos just keep getting better. 💪
What I never understood abt Jason’s death is how did his corpse survive the dynamite blast. Like, you would think Batman would find nothing left of Jason 💀
Damn this story was actually to much I had to stop myself from crying at the end. It's kind of a chilling reminder that even though Batman is a hero , he is also just a really damaged man he has suffered and continues to suffer through it all. It also reminds me of a quote he ounce said to Catwoman about superman that " deep down I know he is a good man and deep down I am not".
I remember reading this story and having tears run down my face in the first part of it. Somehow there not being any text hits hard. Something I didn't expect is burstig into tears a moment ago when you talked about Alfred and the simulation. Not "oh this makes me sad" type tears, straigh "someone I loved died" type tears. I'm not really one to cry in movies and such but this comic, this story, this artwork is doing something to me
To think, at the end of all this, Bruce beats the shit out of motherfucking Darkseid to bring Damian back. A father's grief is a powerful thing indeed.
The serious looking thumbnail paired with the single word title of "Grief." made me think this video was going to be more personal than the rest of what you've made. Needless to say, the intro absolutely dickslapped me across the face with mood whiplash.
I love how the death of Jason Todd was supposed to be a JOKE. DC left readers on a cliffhanger on the issue prior, asking them to vote on who they should kill off--Jason Todd or the Joker. People wrote in voting to kill off Jason, not expecting DC to actually do it. But they did, and it actually helped turn Batman into a more tragic hero (as opposed to the goofy Adam West version).
The comic written by Peter J Tomasi in Batman and Robin right in the after math of Damian’s death is a master at his craft in visual storytelling. Literally no dialogue but you feel every once of despair from Bruce who just lost his son.
Well now we need a video for what happens directly after this cause I don't have a clue (don't read the comics, guessing a revival but I want the detail dammit)
Not sure how to feel about everyone else dealing with the death but 😅 it is good focusing on showing human emotions and how the bat family would go about it. Batman:I want to use the resources around me to bring my son back. Everyone else: just because you can bring someone back doesn't mean you should....it always means you shouldn't tho. Always don't do it. No matter what. Me: idk red hood seems to be doing ok. turning him into zombies to be trapped in boy boddy forever...bad. giving him the red hood bath.... reasonable. Im not sure why not. Crippling the bad guys...is just always a good idea. dead son or not Batman should do that more.
this video really made me appreciate Damian and I’d love to see more of him if you have any plans on doing videos about him and what’s happening after this event :>
I love and hate Damian. He can be such a complete dick for no reason and it makes me sad that this is my favorite Damian story Not because he died but because he fought for something worth fighting for *Family*
Bruce: "I can't believe Damian died... It's something I'm just unable to process..." Jason: "Don't worry, Bruce. I'll take care of everything." Bruce: "Really? You really are a great brother, Jay.." Jason: "No need...I'll make sure to buy the best chsmpan" 😉 Bruce: 🤬
I read this entire comic up to the point of his revival because I thought it had some continuity with that offshoot story about the joker screwing with damian
