Another note: How do we *know* the flash actually wears clothes when he's fighting? He's so fast he could just be going around streaking then getting dressed before he stops somewhere. How are we going to hold this pervert accountable??
honestly joke/in universe podcasts are such an untapped goldmine. There is so much that can be done with them in terms of comedy while also serving as a neat way to recap/talk about superhero events or characters, just like a real podcast but with a fresh twist.
100%. I used to listen to Hello From the Magic Tavern which was kinda a similar concept but in a fantasy world. I would 100% listen to something like this.
I feel like all of the bat family outside Bruce would absolutely troll the shit out of everyone, but I vote Jason to be the one to come on to be the one
wait... is this the same guy as last time? This guy said he has previously worked at the Gotham Gazette, but last time he went on a long rant about it being unreasonable for him to know anything about the newspaper world. What a hypocrite, he was just trying to cover up for the fact that he KNOWS Clark Kent is a better reporter than him, and probably cries himself to sleep every night due to his inadequacy. The world needs less Supermans and more Clark Kents
Not to mention you can't talk about Superman without Clark Kent. Like a significant chunk of sites and articles directly cite the Daily Planet and, by extension, Clark Kent's work when talking about Superman.
Read this comment while you can, our lovely host is gonna take it down and ban this guy as soon as he sees it. Ironic how he spends all his time dishing out criticism but we have *never* seen a comment response episode. Think about that next time you trust one of his "theories".
This whole "Robin is a parasitic-demon that brainwashed The Batman" Theory is convoluted at best. Obviously, Batman is a vampire that turned Robin when he was a teenager! They only work at night, Robin hasn't aged in 15 years, there are already undead in Gotham (Re; Solomon Grundy), and don't forget THE BAT THEME! Edit: Sweet Jesus Horatio Christ, thank you all for the likes! I never thought this comment would get into the double digits, let alone triple. I'm gonna be riding this feeling into 2024, thank you!
And those Bats disappear like nothing else! Poof! As if they go up in smoke! That's just not natural. I have a couple of those metal thingymajigs, I find them occasionally on my walk home from dock work (they make for mean can openers), and while they look well-made, I think it's just another diversion. What need would a pack of VAMPIRES have for ranged weapons if they can just turn into a cloud of bats and swarm through the city? Same thing with those hookshot things, what do they need those for when they can FLY? The throwables don't even seem to be good at their supposed jobs, they look all sleek and crap but I've tried throwing them dozens of times but they are impossible to aim, and all I have to show for it now are a bunch of slices in my drywall. I think they're using impractical 'weapons' in a bid to hide their supernatural nature. You may not believe me, but that's your choice. I've been taking garlic bread to work for MONTHS now and I haven't been attacked! The boss says he can't stand the smell, and I really hate to get on his scarred side, but I'm just doing what I need to protect myself.
@@heyitskarpy Didn't you listen to the podcast? I thought we all agreed that the "Batman" we see during the daytime with Justice League is just some schmuck in a costume that they hired. And that's without even mentioning the possibility of daywalkers or dhampirs.
@@sharzinlalebazri5673 THANK YOU! Just about the only thing I agree with this Jack guy on is the body double theory, and even then he's downplaying the costume budget.
I wonder what he thinks of the "green lantern being a space cop" and how he does have "jurisdiction on earth above every government on earth". The best part, it is canon
does earth know that like at all? we know there are a bunch of people who are "green lantern", most of them have similar powers, and sometimes they disappear for a while. the fact the guardians police the ENTIRE universe with moralist space cops that patrol whole sectors of space is crazy! the fact that they have more or less been in charge of the universe in one way or another since the big bang. the guardians and the green lanterns must have faced off countless alien races vying for control of the cosmos and yet are taken down and essentially destroyed by one american in an afternoon.
Look, i don't wanna say too much, cause the goonion might see this, but I've done some henching for villains around here for a while. Back in the day, i was in Iran for a job, and all the Joker needed to beat Robin was a crowbar and some doctor chick. Trust me, i think the fact that we still have a Robin is reason enough to assume that the Batman either recruits orphans or has some sort of unholy power.
The idea that Robin is a demon is absolutely ridiculous! There is someting to be said for Batman recruiting orphans though. I was saved by Robin twice now. First time at the Joker's massacre at Gotham park. Robin was this teenage boy, about 15-16, really polite, made sure I was okay, just a golden retriever of a kid. Second time was a few weeks ago when Mr. Zsasz hijacked the train I was on. Definitelya diferent kid. Shorter, looked about 13 (which was the wierd part caise it'd been a few years since the last time he'd saved me), had a nasty temper. I waved at him after everything was taken care of, and he flipped me off.
@@Yeahmydude10 I'm gonna need to talk to my goonion rep first. This job was way back in the day when Robin didn't wear pants. I remember something in my contract about a statute of limitations.
@@willmangrum3686 There are multiple Robins but they're not orphans. There's an underground cult of the rich and powerful in Gotham, they worship the Bat and offer their children as sacrifices. The Bat takes the children and uses them as its underlings.
I would love the podcast to cover something like Poison Ivy creation, or how Mr freeze is actually a member of an Antarctic race that rules from behind the scenes or smth
And Santa Claus is the father/progenitor of this race but they suffered a schism that resulted in the Arcticans and Antarcticans. Also all that nonsense about "Atlanteans" is nonsense. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Gotham UNI student here! 1. Kind of funny you got Riddler on the podcast to me since he turned some people on campus into rats inside an hamster wheel last year. 2. If Robin's a demon, he's the kindest little weirdo I've ever met. Back when he was still rocking the middle cut he talked me out of throwing my thesis into the Gotham Harbor. I think.
i had that too! im majoring in genetics, and in exchange for some free food and coffee at the coffee shop i work at (on the east side of campus - best croissants in town) he'd assist me with the part about cloning and my thesis on the ethics of it.
Wherever there is Clark Kent there is Superman, literally every decent story about the Supes has Clark involved somewhere. The man is a damn good reporter, I would recommend his essay on the Origins of Superman I plagiarized the shit out of it for my group project.
I would offer a rebuttal to the "Robin is a demon" theory: I would expect a conservative podcast like yours to bring up religious iconography. I propose that Robin isn't extra-dimensional, but rather extra-terrestrial. The colors in Robin's costume are almost identical to the so-called Martian Manhunter.
You really believe in aliens??? Obviously Martian Manhunter isn't actually from Mars, that's just his character. Unless you expect me to believe there's been super powered life on Mars and for centuries no one noticed?
THIS! I have heard Martians are shape shifters, and that explains so much, I read reports that alternately describe Robin as White or Arab looking, with some even suggesting it was actually a girl who attacked them. Sure, it was dark, but that can't account for every difference.
Ducktales 2017 did it pretty briefly; other than that, I don't know of any others that have tried. It's definitely an untapped market for sure! At best, we get podcasts OF a certain franchise specifically, but never it seems IN a certain franchise.
Guy from CCPD here again, I know some guys who administrate a foster home in Gotham, they told me that Bruce Wayne goes there sometimes to look for talented kids, and I've been wondering, what if Bruce Wayne, Batman, and every other pearson with resources is part of a group that exchange those kids?
Wayne has like 40 adopted kids man it's not that deep. I think he's fucked up over his parents and trying to make his own family as cope. Not the healthiest coping mechanism but at least it's not hurting anyone
@@emersonpage5384 true, if anything it is a positive overall, Wayne gets dealt with his family issues, and the kids get a home, family, food, some of the best education money can buy, and a billionaire as a dad, who has been shown to care for them,(comes to PTAs, shows up for their games and events etc) it is certainly better that what Lex Luthor does
@@emersonpage5384but where did any of those kids go?? Think about it man when was the last time you heard about Jason Todd? Bruce Wayne adopts him and just a few years later he’s gone? Sounds fishy as fuck to me
@@emersonpage5384 Thank you, finally a rational person! We all know Bruce Wayne is eccentric and a little weird, but anyone would be if they went through what he did. All the conspiracy theories about him are frankly disrespectful.
You think that Batman is some sort of demon, but never once considered aquaman or Superman, maybe they are demons that wear bright colors and look heroic to make you trust them more! Why would they do that? No clue.
That’s dumb, Superman is obviously Bruce Wayne, and Aquaman is a myth invented by the liberal deepstate to force “environmental regulations” on companies.
And what exactly *IS* the nation he rules? That’s right, it’s hell. Which explains why nobody can ever visit it. We’re all mortals, we can’t go to Hell until we die! Dude even has a pitchfork, you’re gonna tell me he *ISN’T* Satan?
I mean, Damien is technically air to the demon’s head. Also, I think it’d be really funny if the guy in charge of this podcast hired John Constantine to exercise Batman from Gotham.
What a nice Christmas Present you gave your listeners! Don't let Riddler's conspiracies get to you, he was put in Arkham for a reason. However, I have my fair share of doubt regarding your whole Demon theory. Gotham has been inhabited for a couple hundred years and crime has always been more or less of a constant around here, but the Bat has only been active for the past 15 or so years. If he (Or Robin for that matter) was a demon, he would have always been around Anyway, those are just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work and keep us gothamites informed!
What are you talking about? There are descriptions of creatures similar to Batman dating back thousands of years. Whackjobs insist the Justice League invented time travel, but that's just insane, no way in hell a goody-to-shoes like Superman would let the injustices of history happen if he could change them
This explains so much! Although, I'm still confused about that Nightwing guy over in Bludhaven. Is he a demon too? I was going to visit my aunt who lives there in January, but I'm worried about running into him. Anyways, great podcast as always. I wasn't able to listen to the end because of work, but I'm sure Riddler was a blast to have on the show.
I believe that robin isn't a parasite that forces batman to believe he is his child and therefore must take care of him. I believe robin is a vampire that bit batman and turned him into his vampire spawn, who is cursed to follow his every command They only go out at night. Bats. It's all there
I personally belive robin is a human who has made a deal with the demon that is batman, which grants him inhumane strength and eternal youth, in exchange to being his helper
I think he might not have gained eternal youth but instead the ability to become as young as he wants. Think about it, it feels like every few years he goes from being 16 to being 12
Ok, had to come at this a second time but you absolutely nail the role. You’re both realistic in-universe but also still come of as conspiracy nuttery. I’m really impressed with your writing
Not gonna lie, I think an episode on arkham batmans reveal with then kicking themselves about not seeing the "obvious" secret identity and theorising on wether he's really dead or not would be really intresting.
The Batman is a monster theory is In universe to, when Darksied sent him to the sanction, he went to the beginning of humanity, always getting reincarnated and is always connected to Bats,
Condiment King should come trying to get himself out there as a villain only so the host can bully him by saying they have a more important caller, then Caller ends up bullying the Host. Booster Gold seems fitting he seems like he would do a podcast. His would probably be more popular too and he would bully this host by advertising his own podcast here.
I so want to do a Spin off podcast, this is something i've wondered myself, props to you, you did it. However, I thought it would be funny to do it in El Paso, and be some dude obsessing over the Blue Beatle, and everyone calling in to troll him. Then getting HiFinn on as the "super guest" one day, to discuss how Blue Beatle is actuallly Bruce Wayne too lol. Not in that Whateversillycity from the movie.
Listen Ive worked for robin for many years, he is not a demon, he has a curse on him, he was cursed to every day have a percentage chance to change age, sometimes race and gender too, when this happens he loses his past memories but keeps his base desire, helping people, he's here to help but due to the curse usually needs some supervision, this is why robin has gotten younger multiple times, older a few times, different race a few times, different gender a few times, I feel so bad for the poor guy, and now you're calling him a demon, and stay away from riddler; he's kinda a mass murder, manipulator, and clinically insane villain, and queen's razors are incredible I also use them.
Hey, you might not remember me but you saved me from a mugger a few weeks back - thank you Sir, big fan, so happy to hear you weigh on TGC's theories, hope he has you on a podcast to set the record straight
@NintendoNun was that on a Tuesday or Wednesday? I think you're one of the two that didn't tell me to go to hell, were you mugged by the big guy with a British accent or the medium sized guy with a blüdhaven accent? Either way happy to see you're doing okay, thank you for your kind words and I hope he let's me on too
I've had a similar idea for a long time and this and the previous video have just been so fun to watch you should be very proud and i'd love to see more you've allready got me hooked
Definitely next episode you need to touch on the Batman is ManBat Theory. Idk about you but I've never have seen those two in the same room. I always carry a clove of garlic and you should too. Batman is a persona meant to lul us into a false sense of security and when we least expect it...BAM. MANBAT COMES OUT AND HARVESTS OUR BLOOD AND OUR BRAINS. THE TRUTH WILL BE UNVEILED. #BringBatmanIntoTheLight
What is going on with the joker. I get the guy has a few screws loose but you know he use to just do quirky stuff like patent a fish smile for money, or hold the mayor hostage with a whoope cushion. Now he’s all guns and explosions. Now I can’t confirm this but apparently he at one point peeled of his face and now it’s perfectly fine, he looks completely different every couple years. Like what’s going on is the Batman killing him is it a cult?
I feel like "who is the iron man" between 3 guys, it slowly degrading into arguments, and on the same day iron man reveals he is tony stark, the most shat on guys theory, and the other two fucking unloading on him is in my brain, and for sure happens in universe.
One of the robins, probably Tim, listening to this in the background when training with Bruce, and Bruce hears about Robins emotionally manipulating him and he says to himself:"they arent wrong on that."
Please more episodes! I've heard so many theories I'd love for you to look at, like the theory of Lex Luthor funding Batman! Personally, I think Lex Luthor is also a creature of the night, wearing human skin to disguise itself in the day, and the reason why he let himself become so rich and famous is to help himself and the Batman...
Inviting monsters like the Riddler is disrespectful to the real people who’ve been hurt by the atrocities he’s caused. I will be going to Twitter with this if you don’t acknowledge why this is wrong
You guys should get that Slade Wilson guy on the pod, I bet he'd have some things to say about Robin and also that Nightwing guy What a Twunk that guy is And by Twunk I mean Nightwing
I have another theory. So ya know how robin seems to change personality every once in awhile? Well Ive noticed that when these changes happen, another hero pops up. Nightwing, and Red Robin are the main examples. Therefore whoever's robin must be changing over time so Robin stays young.
That’s an interesting theory good sir but it could just be a coincidence, I mean it seems like a new hero appears like every month now so does it really make sense that that would happen
@@stegoshark5116What are you smoking, Scarecrow's fear gas??? That's so improbable - you really think Batman keeps training kids on a regular basis to fight criminals???? Have you even read what you wrote?????? It's obvious that it's just a coincidence, or perhaps the new heroes are Batman from alternate dimensions...anything else is more likely than the malarkey you wrote!
@@NintendoNun It hasn’t happened that much. I think there’s only been 4 or 5 permanent changes total for Robin. And the heroes can’t be from alternate dimensions, otherwise why would they stay? Wouldn’t they have their own gothams?
The upload was cut short and delayed 24 hours due to "technical difficulties", during which time the podcast channel was hacked and the full uncut recording was posted. Also, the "About Us" page was filled with a 3 paragraph tirade on journalistic ethics filled with bird puns that, when printed over the previous day's evening issue of the Gotham Gazette, page A5, and folded into an origami swan, spelled out "...black. ...canary in a coal mine. The idea of the lone hero... ...will not save the bank... ...parking lot, let alone the people in it." 3 days later, 38 cars in the Gotham Nation Bank parking lot were destroyed or severely damaged when Black Canary chased an unidentified woman in a very revealing green spandex outfit through it.
Theory: Wonder Woman doesn't fly an invisible jet, she was jealous of a lot of Batman's tech so she flies in a sitting position...Why would Wonder Woman need a jet anyways we she flies next to Superman all the time?!
Okay I thought this was bullshit until you mentioned the whole “work alone” thing. I don’t want to believe it, but it actually kinda makes sense. I mean Batman has been seen with sorcerers and demons many times since then
Tbh, I feel like one day, the joker breaks into the studio and takes over for a short special about the villains, like he talks about Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn relationship for a second, with the next him doing a Q&A on his jokes, and finally tells his plans to blow up Gotham or something.
Can't wait for the host to find out Bruce Wayne is batman, meaning batman and superman are the same person. Superman is just batmans day form and batman is the night form.
I came a across this video while playing Arkham City, it's honestly so funny to imagine that Batman is listening to it while fighting crime. I really hope you make more.
In the game Batman Arkham Knight there's a lot of goons you can listen in on that talk about Batman. One group of them talks about how Batman has to be a larger group of well trained military operatives funded by the government which is why he's so skilled, strong, well funded and seems to be everywhere.
