WHAT?! This Actually WORKS? Testing BATMAN'S BATARANG in REAL LIFE. 

I just asked for this on your channel lol, how funny

Mister Rogers in a bloodstained sweater.

We all did.

Don't tell Chad but he's automatically dis invited to any and all future hunting/shooting range trips with me😅

Pretty sure Shad won. Accurately to Batman, he wouldn’t have killed anyone with those throws.

That basic formula worked for Jermey, Richard, and James for 20 years or so.

@@coreytaggart128top gear reference?!?

Sadly, yes... it got really anoying at this point. How many throws was in the video? Like 20 with "batarangs" and 5 with kunai? In 33 minutes long video? Maybe its just me, but I really did not subscriped to Shadiversity to watch childish pet peeve. Its ok a little bit, but this was just too much.

@@Mprokess go be a mood somewhere else, this was actually hillarious

And I enjoyed every minute of it! Half the fun of these videos is watching 3 guys hanging out and acting just like me and my friends did when we were teens. Brings me back to the good old days.

@@mobgabriel1767Australia is corrupt enough for such a move

And if you survive you would wish to be dead because of the permanent injuries Batman caused. Judging from the Arkham games you'll be lucky if you just get out with a limp that doesn't fully heal and you have to use a cane after all of this is over for the rest of your days. 😂

@@MaaZeus In the Arkham games, if you survive the concussion you received after hours out in the cold, not to mention the multiple chances of internal bleeding you'd be doing, chances are you're a Meta-human (DC version of super powers). Straight up, Batman is a serial killer in those games.

Ok, well Batman has literally made a guy fall into acid & snapped necks.. So yes Batman kills... Look up the info in comics...

@@DonLee-pv2kq Batman used to kill before his character got properly fleshed out. That is old silver age stuff, not valid for the Batman of today, the baseline that is. Alternate universes are a different story where they can go to town with the character. Hell we even have a comic where Batman got bitten by a Dracula and turned into a vampire.

​@@MaaZeusyeah I think they went hardcore with Batman in the 80s or 90s then roller it back after the backlash from the Tim Burton movies...and even though its kind of ridiculous that he doesnt kill people it keeps him being the hero and kid friendly

Actually a good point, if his goal were to kill the target

That and they are Australian, so if you really think about it, Tyranth won because he was the only one to hit the target rightside up.

@@Morriaphant i can get behind this

@@TemperedMedia He doesn't just go for the neck, nor are they all bladed.

@@Unknown-hb3id and?

So basically Shad's the male cheerleader, cheering on the home team of Nate and dissing the visitor team of Tyrenth! 😂😂

"There's no proper way to hold it when you throw, because on the off chance a point hits, it has a 50/50 chance of facing in the right direction to stick." That's the difference between an amateur thrower and a highly skilled thrower. For the master thrower, the random doesn't exist, because he CHOOSES exactly how much spin he puts on what he throws and understands the range and what spin is needed to get what impact. This is also why throwing knifes is so much more difficult, because you have to put just the right spin for the range on it, to make it hit point first. The problem of course, is that this kind of throwing skill is more in line with circus artists and highend performers than any normal users.

@@DIREWOLFx75 My comment was mostly about the supposed shuriken-like properties.

​@@DIREWOLFx75well Batman learned from the circus performers as well as Combat experts and hunters, ironic considering his greatest enemy is a clown.

What? Weapons laws being pointless and hypocritical? Who ever could've seen that coming?

@@1stCallipostleLOL right? Look, I live in the Chicago suburbs (used to live in the city proper) and it's just like that. And this state is getting slapped to star-land by the Supreme Court. Not exactly what they say, but essentially, "What part of 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" do you not understand, Lesser Courts?

My favourite restricted weapon law is that it's illegal to own a kusarigama in the UK. Good thing we banned those, they were becoming a real problem what with all of the illegal ninjas from 15th century Japan swimming over the English Channel.

@@yewtewbstew547 I'm just waiting to see the UK announce a ban of metal utensils in general after their last few "weapon" bans

@@angelichero6236First knives, then forks, and then they will come for your assault spoons.

They also generally weren't used as a throwing weapon. They were used for digging, climbing, and for fighting.

Yeah, lots of the traditional ninja tools aren't in pop culture. Like the rake. No, seriously. Anyone reading this and thinking I'm joking, I'm not. I'm sure plenty of people who thought the peasant with a rake and a garden trowel were jokes laughed... And then got stabbed in the neck.

@@matohibiki One of the ninja clans, after aiding the ascension of one of the shoguns, was rewarded with becoming the hereditary gardeners of the shogun's palace. This not only gave them steady work; but, also allowed them to still serve as eyes and ears (and bodyguards) for the shogun's court.

Pretty much every Asian weapon was improvised. Kunai, nunchucks, tonfas, bo

I mean no disrespect, but I REALLY wish that they were actually called batarnags, sounds as Aussie as can be

There’s a desire to use Batarangs or ninja stars in every man’s life. Naruto and Batman toys are sick but learning how to get really good with REAL Batarangs sounds like so much fun. I bet it’d.feel similar to learning something like a butterfly knife.

​@@christianguest63 It's very fun.

Ah, the memories. I once brought throwing knives and shurikens to middle school. We were throwing them at some cardboard boxes that turns out had all the text books for the year. I lost nearly all of them. Most of the group got reprimanded, and they called my parents, but nobody showed and they forgot the whole incident soon after lol.

“TYRAAAAAAAATHHHH” 😂

Tonight, on Functional Fandom, Tyranth becomes an expert at throwing upside down, Nate slowly steps into his rightful role as an average marksmen, and Shad continues to be the hype man father that his son Batman needs. XD XD

@@jonashartman3059 and on that bombshell, back to the studio

This entire thing needs more likes.

Less a magnet on a stick and just get a metal detector. The magnet has to be nearly right on it before it will make the knife move, especially if entangled in grass.

i have a magnet that would pull the knife from 2 feet away... @@benwagner5089

@@benwagner5089 Some neodynium magnets on a stick cost a lot less than a metal detector. And while magnets will not always be able to pick something up off the ground, a metal detector will never be able to. Advantage: magnets.

@@dgthe3 I haven't messed with neodymium magnets before, but if it's anything like regular magnets you still have to get damn close. Closest compromise is to borrow a roofer's magnetic sweeper that they use for picking up dropped nails. Rolling it through tall grass may be a challenge, but just swinging low to the ground you might get lucky.

But what happens if you break the stick in 2 and put a chain on it? 😂😂

Or the sound of a Gypsy Curse

Careful first it starts with batman having a batarang launcher but it'll end with batman having a wrist mounted flamethrower and powered exo suit

@@IRONMANHALO66Bat Shark Spray and Bat Lighter.

Batman Beyond shot small batarangs from his wrists.

​@@danieltilson4053 Batman Beyond and Azbats.

@@danieltilson4053 And, as noted in that show, the Batsuit was old tech, decades old at the time Beyond started. Who knows what kind of tech a current-gen Batsuit would've had? Hardlight weapons, no way Bruce wouldn't have started his own Bat Lantern Corps.

There is actually a substance that sharks excrete when afraid that will cause all other sharks of that species to abandon the area for a long time. It was discovered that, after a great white was killed off the coast of California (maybe Baja California) by orcas, all of the other great whites (that had tracking beacons) immediately swam out as far as Hawaii at high speed! Of course, this substance only seems to affect sharks of the same species; so, it won't protect you from them all.

I can't believe how young he still looks.

Stuff like that imply enough spin with the wrist when you throw and it's surprising how steady they are in flight.

I guess almost all the live action Batman directors aren't good then.

@@ToshiUchiha7 It’s not that they are bad directors, just don’t understand the character. (I guess)

TRUE XD

@@ToshiUchiha7 they aren't, it's settled

@@ToshiUchiha7 A good director meaning someone who understands the character. So far (in big budget live-action films) only Matt Reeves has been faithful to the Batman mythos... PROVIDED only if the bland characterization of the first film was a choice to specifically put a young Batman through an arc.

i forget the channel but i did see someone review some of the melee weapons but that was months ago

A lot of Warframe's Melee weapons are ultimately mundane weapons that have a futuristic twinge to it here and there, that are also being used by superhuman humans with supernatural powers and skin as hard as steel.

@@kylegivens3120 yeah, a lot of what they do is mo-cap for the melee attack chains, so it’s feasibly achievable by people, besides the slow motion jumps, and the odd out melees like bladed exploding yo-yos and rideable mega-chainsaws

@@kylegivens3120 Yeah I was thinking most of them are pretty standard fare. The giant "glaive" (I think it was called that?) throwing weapon could be fun to make and test I guess. Maybe a bit dangerous lol.

@@yewtewbstew547 I wasn’t meaning weapon’s specifically but the different stances and attack chains that they use for them to review

When you pull the trigger though you are expecting recoil. A sudden unanticipated impact is not quite the same thing. When someone has an ND they often _do_ drop the gun because they weren't expecting it.

@@WJS774 Fair point.

Good point.

that won't work the tiniest bit.

@@BayWa4eva Don't tell me that, telll that to decades of Batman Comics, or heck superhero comics in general.

That's Daredevil Batman was trained by the League of Assassins

Oh yeah I thought that he was trained by the Hand from the first Dark Knight movie reference @@noraye2500

@@noraye2500 Daredevil hasn't been trained by the Hand, he fights the Hand. Batman, on the other hAND, was trained by the League of Assassins only in the movies (I mean, probably also somewhere else, there are many versions of him; but the bottom line is that he wasn't trained by them in the main continuity).

A little note on Batman's prowess, he even learned a Kryptonian martial art somehow.. Granted they lived under a red sun so no super powers, so perfect for a human.

Everything is illegal is Australia, and if it isn't the government will make it illegal

Everything is illegal in Australia.

They'd make your fists illegal if ripping your bones out was any easier.

Just find evidence of The Great Prophet Muhammed using a shuriken type weapon, and they'll get legalized!

My 10 seconds on google says they are.

Michael Keaton Batman killed people (including the Joker) Val Kilmer Batman killed those guys chasing him in the car by letting a missile hit them Bale Batman killed those League of Shadows ninjas and Talia Al Ghul Even Adam West Batman killed a guy with an exploding octopus Only George Clooney and Robert Pattinson Batmen didn’t kill people, and they’re the worst Batmen (the latter being woke as shit). lol

I guess they aren't aware there is a multiverse in DC and the main timeline Batman doesn't kill.

No, IM BATMAN

I'm Batman, and so's my wife

Batman's no kill rule is a relatively new thing, the original rule was no guns

Burtons first batman was great tho joker was his version of Joe chill too so it's Burtons answer to the phantasm in the comics

Or maybe the directors just wanted their versions of batman to be killers? Wanting your version of a character to be different from the source =/= lack of understanding. There's this thing called creative freedom.

@@leonrussell9607 No it wasn’t. The original Batman used a gun as his primary weapon. Look it up.

@@VidelxSpopovich yeah, I shortened the explanation, but the no kill rule originally stems from the no gun rule that was introduced in a certain run of the comics, he did originally use a gun though

ooph pick up a comic. He kills plenty

S'funny, but in the original comics, Batman carried a pair of pistols around to kill unnamed thugs. You are uneducated.

So I guess to you guys, it would be totally fine to have Batman dressed up in a zebra costume because he did it in a couple of comics? You would look at him and say, "Yeah, that's Batman!" Zach Snyder portrayed a Batman who will either kill you without hesitation or brand you so someone kills you in prison. Anyone can agree that that isn't Batman. As for the guns, I don't know where you're getting the "shoots unnamed thugs" because I looked it up. The most indiscriminate Batman seems to have gotten with his shooting was with vampires. The rest seem to be situations where killing them served as a writing technique to communicate the inner conflict in Batman. In Batman Begins, he saved Raz at the beginning and he saw the consequences, so at the end, he doesn't save him because it's thematically appropriate and he sees that there are some people who are just too dangerous. In the Dark Knight he kills Harvey Dent because they happened to be near a ledge and tackling him from that direction was the only way to save the child. It also was necessary for the plot because Batman's arc was realizing that his crusade was inspiring people in the wrong way. He created the Joker and inspired normal citizens to rise up and become vigilantes which is not what he wanted. By taking responsibility for Harvey and his murders, Batman becomes a villain in the public eye so that he doesn't inspire more people to take up his crusade. It's his cross to bear alone. Again, it's done in a way that fits the themes of the story. This isn't just a Tuesday for Batman. It's generally accepted through a majority of comics that Batman doesn't kill and doesn't use guns. When he deviates from that it is because it is usually for a dramatic and thematic purpose that serves the story, like in Dark Knight Returns where he is more violent because he's old, more cynical, and the criminals have become more aggressive and stronger. He becomes more violent and brutal because it serves the story and is used to challenge your understanding of Batman. It's not the norm. There is probably some other obscure comic that you'll probably try to contradict me, but again I will just cite the Zebra Batman scenario. Just because it happened in very specific scenarios doesn't make it the norm. It's also impossible to have a character that has been around as long as Batman and keep them consistent, because there will always be retcons. But in general, it's accepted that Batman doesn't kill and doesn't use guns.

B-man stretching the rules to justify it is very much a canon thing. Normally because he's worried about snapping and killing all the time

That's the next best thing right?

That was Damien Wayne from Injustice 2.

@@Ash-Winchester Just checked and while you‘re correct, Tim said almost the same thing in Arkham Knight, only got the wording wrong

"yOu DOn'T sHiT yOUrSelf." Me looking at baby you...

To be fair that only lasted for like a year before editorial decided on the no kill rule.

And doesn't the comic Canon reset after every Crisis event anyways?

And for most of his run he didn't use them again. It's like saying Superman shouldn't fly because he didn't when he appeared first...

Batman used a gun exactly five times before he stopped, and only two were against individuals: two vampires (arguably not humans at all) and a bit later against giant monsters that were mutated humans. The whole rest of his comic career was gun free until The Dark Knight Returns, which at least arguably is not canon.
