Meet THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS | Joker Fused With Batman - Dark Nights Metal 

Well, I'm sure Jason's helmet is crowbar proof.

I now want to see Joker and Batman do the fusion dance.

I want a story where batman die's and the joker gets turned into batman with bat gas

Everytime either the Joker stop laughing or Batman starts to laugh, you know something is very wrong and things will be messy very soon

I love how Jason’s voice is muffled in his helmet.

Your Batman voice is a never-ending source of joy.

10:21 I liked the small details like Jason being able to get one shot in before being gun down. There also the references to the plans Batman made to take every member of the JLA and when it comes to him he says using his family against him is their best bet... so in this one he takes them out first. Also you are right, Martian manhunter wasn’t burn. That was another reference to Batman’s contingency plans, he basically used a chemical that made his skin combust when in contact with oxygen.

Honestly, Sasha going off on a tangent to praise Conrad Veidt is one of the most relatable things I have ever seen. (And the green-lined cape is fabulous, obviously.)

There's a lot of Pinhead in The Batman Who Laughs design as well.

I'm suffering Joker burn-out. They use the character way too much. In all his different forms.

she goes from topic to topic. quite hypnotic

Sasha's impersonates Batman, Joker, and The Batman Who Laughs (with a Sponge Bob reference). I can't stop laughing. If Sasha keeps this up I will either be her all time biggest fan or recommend a good therapist. Kevin Conroy needs to watch out for Sasha taking his job for the next cartoon or video game. I will love any video Sasha impersonates Batman. Comedy Gold my friends

That Jason Todd voice was amazing

The way you voiced TBWL was...hauntingly good. Like, almost like he has a lump in his throat and the constant heaves in how he extends certain words was just so goddamn good. Bravo.

Your personality and presentation is always so humorous your videos can be labeled the Sasha Who Laughs.

The fusion of her batman voice and her joker voice is so perfect. It on the razors edge of silly and awesome.

I honestly liked the costume in the flashback way more than what he wound up wearing. Also I just love the art for this issue.

The green-lined cape and symbol in the flashback look so much better than his actual design, which looks like it should be on the album cover for a bad 2000s nu metal band's debut

I very much liked the parallel with injustice. It’s like they did a dry run of dark knight metal with superman as the big bath and then tweaked it back with Batman making a more compelling character in his dissent into madness.

Funny enough, I love her Batman Who laughs' voice

A version of the Batman Who Laughs almost happened in Arkham Knight when Batman was hearing voices of the dead Joker in his mind because of the infection he had inside of him. In the end he got healthy and continued being Bruce Wayne and stopped being the dark knight

Your plot synopsis are great. But your Bat voice is everything 😅

Just wanted to say it's really nice chillin' out here and listening to Sasha talk comics. I've recently purged my subs of channels that are pretty much just toxic negativity now. It makes me really appreciate channels like this one.

Your Batman Who Laughs voice just earned you a new subscriber

The green bat symbol is actually pretty awesome. I like it on an evil batman.

Sasha, you are legit, mate. I think you're doing for comics what someone should do for journalism, you show the facts, you say your opinion, you leave us to our own opinion, incentives the debate. Seriously, you incredible, funny, controversial(the good way), smart, yes you are beautiful too(not that it makes you any less), and a mother, you're like my favorite hero, and, in my opinion, what feminism should be, congrats for being an incredible person AND RU-vidr, go on with your vids, I must have binged your whole channel in a week, thanks for reading, if you did, keep up the good work 😊

Find yourself a girl that reads you comic books in various voices like Sasha does.

XD Jason's helmets, man... it's like he just buys disposable ones in bulk for how often they just end up crumbling off his face - of course they wouldn't be bullet proof. You *would* think the guy would invest...

Hey, Batman Who Laughs, Judge Death wants his look back.

I didn't expect your Jason voice and it is infinitely wonderful. Also Batman having colored lining in his cape is always amazing, wish when he made the switch to his Hellraiser cosplay he kept the green lining.

Okay but imagining this skinny creature of a man with this chest rumbling deep voice just with this wheezing cackle of the joker. Just chilling.

So in the dark multiverse heroes forgot to wear their plot armor

Sasha, those voices were awesome (even Puberty-Batman)! I had no issue with BWL in the Metal event, but then afterwards he's been popping up and affecting things all over: Batman, World's Finest, JL, Hell Arisen, so on and so forth. And he was taking out people from Super Monitor to Phantom Stranger so it was really pushing the whole "Bruce can do all things!" I think teh worse for me was Hell Arisen since the Infected played absolutely no significant role in the book to have impact.

Why is it when Joker get killed Shit the fan. Injustice and then this.

That issue with the giant owl is one of my favorite issues in comics. Turning the comic as you read is such a creative experience.

This is one of my favorite DC storylines. I fell in love with this event the second I saw his fusion with The Flash and the moment I saw The Batman Who Laughs....I was in it for the long haul lol When a friend of mine sent me a link telling me the DC Deck-building game was releasing a Dark Nights Metal expansion, I thought it was a joke....but then I clicked the link. I had to buy it. It pulled me in, and I'm glad it did. Playing a game of it was amazing and the art chosen, the characters involved, it was amazing. It led me to get the trade where Batman faced off with The Batman Who Laughs using his cowl and its one of my favorites

Your passion for comics is a joy. Thanks.

Sasha, your Batman Who Laughs voice is a triumph in damn creepy. I'm transfixed and disturbed and somehow delighted all at one time.

I thought the 'Metal' event was just okay overall though it did have some high points, such as this issue. You've mentioned most of what makes me like it so I'll mention the one thing that really irked me and still does whenever TBWL appears- his speech bubbles. Not that I've a problem with them changing when Batman does, that was indeed a nice touch, but I found the mostly tiny, red on black lettering really hard to read a lot of the time. I mostly read digital comics as I am once again without a local store and found that having to magnify the bubbles really irritating in that it spoiled the flow of the stories. I know at least one other reader who had this problem. He is almost as old as me but I don't think it is an age thing. I had no difficulties with everyone else's speech bubbles after all. Sorry to go on about this but I'd managed to forget about it until the 'Death Metal' comic came along to annoy me all over again! Anyway, great video again! Have you increased your output since the virus lockdown thing started or am I just all the more appreciative of them just now?

Yippee! Just here to say Imma huge fan! Haven't even watched yet, lol. BATMAN WHO SHREDS.

Thank you so much for this channel. I love your take on these characters and stories. For me, it’s the perfect balance of reverence for the material and acknowledgment of the basic underlying absurdity of comic books. I love that you’re having fun with this stuff instead of picking it apart to the point where it’s joyless. Your simultaneous irreverence and love of the medium is just the best balance in my book. This is the only RU-vid channel I’ve ever subscribed to!

First, thanks for the video. Your Batman voice is fun, but I enjoy your take on the Joker a lot more. It was nice to see a fusion of the two in the video.

You asked for little known tidbits. How many people know about The (almost) Decade Without a Joker? Loving all your vocal impressions(is that the right word?) of the characters, even your English accent. Also, can we have more about DC/Marvel crossovers?

Your videos are great and really helping me get through quarantine. They're so fun and I love your presentation and character voices. I'm thinking the way Bruce ultimately defeats the Batman Who Laughs isn't by thinking like him or the Joker. It's by doing something neither would ever expect Bruce to do: Team up with Booster Gold!

I liked this comic, yeah i know the fusion between the two has been done before but i like how crazy they went with it. It's also interesting to read along with the Batman: White knight /Curse of the white knight where Batman is kinda out of control and drugs Joker which makes him become sane and the good guy in a kinda polar opposite concept

Not gonna lie, your videos are some of my favorite ones to watch in youtube!!!! Please keep it up!!!

I could watch a supercut of your Batman voice all day 😂

As in my fifties nowadays, I grow up with a completely different style of comics. My daughter was in the states last year and purchased am issue of The Batman who laughs for me as a gift. I love The Dark Knight Returns from Frank Miller, but i really had a hard time to wrap my mind around this Story Arch. The drawings are intense, the coloring is way beyond my head and the story mirrors the insanity of the Joker inside Batman without any filter. It's pure, rough and sometimes to much for my taste. I guess i have to adapt...

Yes, I think he's the type of character like Doomsday. You can't use him too much. You're storytelling is something else, that voice 😂and can you please do a video on the Hawkman and Hawkgirl please???

I've actually always liked the idea that the Joker's craziness is primarily the chemicals in his system. The reason I like this is because it makes the Joker sympathetic and explains why Batman doesn't want to kill him. Batman understands the Joker is also the victim here, and from a certain point of view the most sympathetic of all of the victims of Ace chemicals, because this poor innocent now can't help himself but to have an atrocity level of blood and evil on his hands, and it really wasn't his fault.

Your Batman Who Laughs voice is awesome, Sasha! I think you nailed it! When I try to read him, I kept coming up with just a Joker voice. You did the perfect mix! Bravo!

Absolutely my favorite comic book commentator/reviewer of all time! Your delivery is delightful and your commentary is smart and creative without being judgemental. While I am a huge fan of pre-Crisis DC, you have singlehandedly made me want to pick p where I left off in 2017. Great work!

Hey Sasha love your channel and you are so fun smart and entertaining that I watch videos about titles I never read, i.e. I collected mostly marvel back in the day. Anyways there is an oft overlooked X-Men run that I would enjoy hearing you cover; it's the Brood series by Chris Claremont starting in issue #156 but the main story is in issues #160 - #167. On the surface it is an Alien trope horror story, however it is a very introspective run in which each team member struggles in their own way with their mortality and Wolverine with rationalizing killing his friends. Hope you check it out, keep doing you!!!!

Well, thanks for getting the Picard Song stuck in my head. (It's really quite hypnotic)

With the mention of the films being the inspiration for the name, would it be wrong for me to want to see Edgar Allan Poe influences on The Batman Who Laughs. Batman was conceived in Poe Park in The Bronx, so a few references would be neat. Among the thoughts for Batman Who Laughs would be chaining up several people and burning them alive as in Hop Frog, or burying someone alive behind a brick wall as in The Cask of Amontillado.

I love seeing how much this channel has grown

I enjoyed Dark Nights Metal because when I read it, I thought it was a non-canon having-fun elseworlds style thing. It's a bit too 10-years-old-cool for me to want that to be the main flavour for DC going forward, but I definitely went out of my way to read it. The green inner cape is glam. My biggest sadness is that he went and got new attack robin kids instead of Jokerising all of his family, but I think he's going for more of an Emperor vibe, and subordinates that aren't immediately obedient might get in the way. Would love to know if he stumbled on Damien while wiping out the League of Assassins, or how he convinced him to play along since he's been doing a convincing turn to the light. Did he torture all his pets? Did he make Damien kill his pets? You hit the nail on the head when you called him cruel.

Sasha Wooo, I was nervous to see you. I was slightly expecting that Slurpee color hairdo. I'm glad your back with your bicolor hair. Now all seams right in the world.

Loved this one! First time commenter long time watcher/liker. This channel rules and I love all of the videos I've peeped so far. Excellent content! I can't wait to continue the comic journey here!

6:00I almost person my dog. I love your impressions. You're the modern day Rich Little!

Just came across your channel and I love it! I love your cryptic read of the dialogue 😊

Sasha is becoming my all time favorite youtuber fast! Lol

I love what you're doing here, although I am not a big francophile I love how you tied that in. Please keep doing this.

Dark Multiverse as a concept still doesn't work the negative outcome favoring was already covered in the revamped earth 3 "Earth-2" and the multiverse already covers variation since positive outcomes aren't a positive universe exclusive.

Kinda reminds me of Jerome and Jeremiah from Gotham...

I got the Dark Metal TPBs at a 2019 comic-con (if you're reading this in the future). I don't think I've ever read a more nightmarish DC story and that includes the horror titles.

I love both of your Batman voices!

I know everyone else is saying it, but your batman voice is

The only thing better than Sasha's gravelly Batman voice (which is a riot applied to Golden Age World's Finest Batman), is her gravelly Batman Who Laughs voice.

HAHAHA the combination of Christian Bale + Joker voice was amazing hahahaha

I felt like the Batman who laughs was just ripping off Judge Death.

I love your videos. You do the best break-downs ever.

Another awesome video! Thank you!

I think the dark multiverse provides an interesting explanation on why the world of DC has events that play out like a well written sorry where all conflicts have a resolution. Like a meta reason why the DC universe is parced into concise stories. If there is a portion of the multiverse that is destined to tend towards bad things, the main multiverse should logically tend towards good things. Like there is a higher power that made the main 52 has statistically unrealistic tendencies towards good endings.

Don't know if this is the best place to leave a suggestion - I vaguely recall you saying to do so in other videos? Anyways, I was wondering if you could do a future video on issues #60-62 of the 90's Punisher series. AKA, the storyline where Punisher briefly became a black man due to a surgery and teamed up with Luke Cage. I know this story has been already covered by some other comic channels, but I would love to hear your take on it :P

I can't stop staring at the microphone. It's like the mole in Austin Powers. Mole. Don't say Mole. MOLE! Moley, moley, mole. Urrrrrggggggg....mole.

Scott Snyder is great with Batman. He really likes to dig deep and go dark. His Batman Eternal run is still one of my favorites.

Jason's helmet voice fucking killed me

I have to say my favorite part of all these videos is when Sasha voices the characters. Her Batman and joker are my favorites.

The Batman who Laughs is arguably my favorite new character since Damien Wayne

hahahahaha - not the BWL voice in my head, but appreciate the commitment to the bit!

"In the Dark Multiverse, events will always end badly..." So basically, the Dark Multiverse is like real life, but with powers and kinky costumes.

You had too much fun making that Batman Who Laughs impression 😂

Can you talk about how Jean Grey death became a joke and why the animated serious treated her like the damsel in distress when she's the most powerful member of the X-Men and why people find her sexy

challenge! Identify all books, omnibus', and collected works behind Sasha with out ever hitting pause.

that green lined cape look was way better than his final look, no one can change my mind XD also I kinda enjy how over the top this origin story is, like its so damm dark im there like like wow careful with that edgeXD

i like how the green lined costume is blacker than Bat's normal costume too.

Another great one. I just found out about something that is so your wheel house. Superman built a Superman robot to spank Louis. So have fun with that one.

Your show is the cake and you are the icing! “Like”

I couldn't read it with rolling my eyes since got my fix of god-tier Batman since the 90s Morrison JLA run. Jokerized or not the whole thing felt like it was way out of Batman level. Only Batman I really dug was the Drowned one since that one was built from the ground up.

I tend to hate giant event books but I do like the aesthetics of the Metal covers when I see them on Instagram or whatever.

Your impersonations are hilarious 😂😂

Your Red Hood voice kills me! Love it!

not first, but i'm back for more of your mellow tones. i swear, if you started a channel just reading classical literature from around the world, it would be bigger than this one. your voice is equal parts soothing and expressive. like, if you were a hostage negotiator, you would have the culprits surrender and buy YOU a plain ticket to cuba.

Ah, Sasha. If only I was 30 some years younger. Love your take on comics and your presentation.

Thanks for the video. It's really helps us Newbie's!

New favorite channel

Tangent time: I feel a little like Supes and Wondy's tarot cards might work better reversed, but they're both generic enough to apply to each of them. I guess I ascribe that sort of fresh-eyed optimism about humanity to Diana since she's often portrayed as being a little newer to man's world than Clark. Who can say?

Wow..your french is very good. I love the voices...ha ha ha...thanks

The World: The Batman Who Laughs is such an original look! Me, pointing at picture of Judge Death from the "Judge Dredd" comics: *IS **_NOBODY_** ELSE SEEING THIS?!?!?*
