I get the feeling he started when he learned of his existence. Batman is the kind of guy who could automatically see him as a threat even if he learned of him through news reports
The fact he wants it on his desk is a power move. He lives in Gotham, however many miles away, so he’s telling *Superman* to deliver that coffee every morning, not just “Morning Commute Clark.”
"Number 3" clearly means this was anti-superman contingency number 3. One of the less lethal but still very effective means of getting him under control.
@@JustMarty to be honest I would prefer to be Superman, sure I lost my parents as a kid but it is not like I remember them so Kents are basically my parents. So not even getting into : I can just locate a piece of gold if I ever need money part I have a job that I like a woman I adore parents that cherish me healthy relationship with my co-workers plenty of friends what does batman have? A broken psyche, nightmares after death of his parents and yes ungodly amount of money that he can do nothing with since he is far to busy being batman to enjoy life.
Mostly because Bruce probably hates phrases like "know your place" to my understanding. At least I can't think of him ever saying it. Let alone to Clark who's like his friend usually. Calling him Smallville when their alone together though? That I can see.
The way Superman just casually gives away where the murder culprit was located immediately after Batman just begun to look for fingerprints was absolutely golden in both voice acting and comedy.
@@raviolipatchouli9290 Big fax man. First they start advertising weird ASMR links and now this? At the point where the bots might spew out links with viruses now.
The problem with making a realistic skit like this, is that Superman couldn't actually just drop off the criminals at the police station, because they would still require the EVIDENCE that Batman was gathering to even charge them with a crime. Batman wins again!
The police could detain the criminal and get on the crime scene to gather evidence. Detaining someone "because superman said so" might seem silly but the guy is basically a god, what is officer jeremy going to say? No?
@@c.m.6487 Unconstitutional? The police are very much allowed to detain a suspect based on reasonable provable suspicion. Superman saying "he bad" is pretty reasonable given his track record and not only that again constitution doesn't matter much against superman bro. There are quite a few super hero parodies where superheroes are actually dickheads you can see how shit goes in those.
The issue is, SM could do anything to criminals in those 2 seconds except "glue" them to place where they are. SM one who can stand consequences of super-speed/-strength, criminal would be torn apart at first attempt
Number one, I love how Superman knows there's a system about criminal justice but doesn't know that that system requires the evidence that Batman gathers in order for anyone to actually be found guilty, and number two, I love how Batman just says "I love you too" as he hangs up the phone, very cute, and number three, I love how he then immediately just turns to "I own the building where you work. Know your place Smallville"
I love the tiny detail where Superman clarifies that he didn't just throw the murderer in prison, he adheres to the structure of the criminal justice system.
@@sean668 Modern era will do it too. They just have all charges dropped by the DA and are back in the streets before he can finish changing back into his Clark Kent disguise.
What I find great about the Solid JJ videos is that, even though comedically exaggerated, the characters still have their original personality traits. Superman comforting Batman by saying that he has a bit of an advantage is how Superman would actually act in a similar situation. He knows he is the most powerful and always tries to not offend the rest of the League.. while Batman, on the other hand, has an inferiority complex when it comes to him and Superman.
@Viktorian If by "mainstream" you mean an adult with a healthy relationship with fiction, without letting it consume most of my free time, then I guess I am.
Well tbf Superman is entirely stupid as a concept just for the sheer power he wield but I do imagine Batman being salty about that in a funny way so ya know 👍
I'm an immigrant from a ruined country who works a pretty standard job at a tech company owned by an asshole multi-billionaire. Yeah, he's pretty relatable.
Can we talk about how all B-man had to say was "number three"? He has a list and buying the Daily Planet was number _three_ . He planned this long before Clark showed up.
The way Batman and Superman met in the comics is actually pretty funny. Clark and Bruce happened to be on the same cruise ship, and the ship was crowded so they had to share a room. Then some crime happened and they both tried to change in the dark without the other noticing, but the room was illuminated unexpectedly and they caught each other in the act.
Is that the one where Bruce tried to tranq dart Clark to get change and it bounced off him? and they only had to share a room because Lois kicked them both out of the big cabin with the extra beds?
@@ahmetkarl1229 Ever try to speak and pay attention to what someone else is saying at the same time? The only time Clark's hearing can be avoided is when he's running his mouth.
Fun fact: Once the Flash saved everyone from a burning building, put the fire out, demolished it, went to the library to learn everything he could about civil construction, came back and built a whole new building, with better furniture and electrical wiring. All of that during the timeframe it took the firefighters to arrive.
Can you imagine the sheer air pressure generated by him running to manage all that? There should be like hundreds of thousands AT LEAST annihilated by just shock wave alone.
@@janielrin4471 Bruce paid for the building, which probably costed him millions, especially if we are talking about the technology included within it. The amount each person (maybe) pays to use it is very likely barely a fraction of that cost, so he's being paid back for it's construction by the other members of the league at a deficit, especially with it's upkeep (electric, gas, maintenance, etc). Also, if Batman is paying for the league's expenses (food, water, and the like) then they are paying him back literally with his own money he's spending on them.
@@janielrin4471 Oh, you mean in this video. Well, if you look at the other videos made, the quote I made is from this guy's same work, which could apply here when it comes to how Batman could have further made Superman look smaller by Batman's inferiority complex shown here now that he owns "The Daily Planet". Anything Superman spends on company time and card would be giving back to Batman his own money he spent buying the company. Do you need further explanation?
Well I mean he could be rich if he wanted to. He'd just have to use his x ray vision and strength to mine giant gems. Fuck he could Lazer a hole to them. He wouldn't get dirty because of his force field. Thing that makes him bullet proof.
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Not really, there are loads of versions of him where he isn't rich. And his first introduction was basically "evil scientist". The whole point of Lex Luther is as a foil to Superman, a man untouchable both due to his wit and public image one that wants the same as Superman but views Superman as the biggest threat to humanity. A man that has no issue with going as low as possible to get what he wants. Superman shines brightest when he can't just punch his way to victory, and Lex Luther provides that contrast. Granted like superman himself, Lex is often poorly written as basically evil batman without masks and robots instead of martial arts.
Superman came in with the classic "no superpowers?" but Batman, being the world's greatest detective, swiftly found the counterplay through the niche "I now own your coverstory" gambit.
Similar to what Kingpin actually did to Spiderman when he got thrown in jail. Kingpin just bought Spiderman's IP cause it wasn't copyright so every time Spiderman do something and becomes more famous, Kingpin legally makes profit out of it. Yeah you can jump and fight and I just literally bought YOU. Know your fucking place pizza boy.
I love how Batman was chill with Superman at the start and even let Superman to watch him do detective work. And then Superman started showing off to Batman and of how obsolete he is.
Lois Lane: "So Mr. Wayne, what lead you to buy out the Daily Planet?" Bruce Wayne: "I heard you make a mean cup of coffee over here." (They laugh. Clark does not)
This might be the best Batman scheme I've ever seen. Screw glowy rocks and red lamps, it's time to hit Clark Kent where it _really_ hurts; the paycheck
"He threw me in jail. He literally threw me right into the yard of the state prison and he shouts up to the warden, 'looks like this one won't be causing any more trouble.' Then he flies off with this gay salute. Apparently he's never heard of due process"
I know the comic panels aren’t in correlation, but I just love how in the middle of their one-on-one conversation Wonder Woman is just frozen in the background and they don’t seem to care or notice.
Hysterical! I was cracking up so much at Superman outdoing Batman at every turn that I didn't see that ending coming. I guess I should have, as we all know Bruce's true superpower is that he's rich.
@@emilmadsen8286 In the comics canon he's outright just removed criminal goons from their bosses in front of their faces by having a video message play of Bruce Wayne offering them a job with benefits.
I love how Baan buying the Daily Planet is not only a power move because of how rich he is, but it also speaks to how well he understands Clark's personality. Superman's powers basically make exposing his secret identity near useless- but Superman is too good natured to abuse his powers.
Superman was able to see trough batman's mask and recognise the face of a celebrity. Batman had to track superman's identity down to just some random guy and determine where he works.
That's the one thing that I don't like about most "When Batman and Superman first met" stories. One thing is being a great detective and think "that Clark Kent guy does look a bit like Superman", and another is think that the unassuming reporter and the godlike alien are the one and the same. It's the reason why I like much more how Superman: The Animated Series handled this, with Batman putting a tracker on him which lets him know where Superman lives (and with that he can safely reach the conclusion that he's Clark Kent).
Solid jj makes an excellent point, Super Man is a super detective. Now I want to see a Superman game thats designed to be like the Arkham series, but during the detective phases, you just use super sight to follow their trail instead of dicking around at crime scenes. Honestly I feel like it would be amazing, especially with his powers and some of his enemies.
That ending personifies Batman as a character perfectly. He doesn't need to punch you to break you. Just knowing how to ruin your life, take everything you own, and make you unable to prevent it, that's real power and he knows it.
@@jonathantadlock-stein2023 you didn't enjoy it earlier because films like that aren't even supposed to make you enjoy themselves. It wasn't your random MCU flick which try to 'entertain' you or give you a 'fun' time throughtout the whole runtime with unnecessary jokes.
@@TheManOfTomorrow he probably didn’t enjoy it because it was shit, Luthor was a terrible casting, Doomsday was rushed and then wasted, and the characterisation was extremely… odd
The rogue: "Ooo! I finally get to use my magnifying glass and all my Investigation skill!" The cleric: "I cast True Seeing, then Scrying, then Locate Creature. We can use Wind Walk to fly straight there if you guys want!"
@@Nat-ri3ip And how would Scrying help when you know neither who the target is, nor where they are? Same for Locate Creature. OP really didn't think this through. Every step of the way is wrong. (These spells are very powerful and helpful in many situations, but the one he's describing is specifically the situation in which they're worthless.)
@@theuncalledfor A: I was moreso mimicking the abilities and order of operation mentioned in the video than an in-game D&D crime scene, B: it's an imaginary elf game, there are plenty of fantastical situations a DM can make where these spells would and wouldn't be useful, and C: to keep it concise, I decided to just list three easy-to-recognize spells rather than every single potentially useful one. I personally don't think my comment is worth overanalyzing, so I don't know why I wrote this reply.
@@JustMarty Do you know what is fun about Superman? He does everything out of kidness of his heart. Batman does what he does because he is traumatised after the death of his parents, it just mentally broke him. Superman had healthy childhood, he noticed that...he is not exactly like other humans and what is he doing with that? Helping people, because it is the right thing to do.
@@JustMarty As a batman fan, I'm with @JM 1 here cause yes, he did accomplish amazing, actually be a good human being despite all them powers. Plus idk what your talking about privilege, his life had humble beginnings compare to batman. The only reason why we don't call Batman privilege though its cause his an orphan with dead parents.
Pov this was all a lead up to the line "I own the building that you work at, you are paying me with my own money" gag from the "batmans continiuncy plans" video.
