Wow. At 1:46, it's like he is talking directly to DC for rewriting his world. That's a great bit of dialogue. Psycho Pirate has become one of the most interesting characters in DC simply because of how much he knows. Incredible.
It's very telling that when you recount the history of the DC Multiverse you give Crisis on Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, and Final Crisis so much more attention than Flashpoint, Doomsday Clock, DNM, and DNDM which also changed the Omniverse in DC. Because, in the grand scheme of things those new reboots are so unpopular/underwhelming that nobody cares. At this point, DC reboots its universe so often that even characters within it who have 4th wall awareness of the reboots don't really care about the recent ones.
DNM was widely popular. You still have people talking about the Batman Who Laughs and Red Death. Also, DNM also brought into light the entire dark multiverse and the forge with the idea that things need to be a certain way in order to be stable. Flashpoint was also very popular and very important as well. They keep bringing Thomas Wayne back because of how popular he is. I will give you doomsday clock though. That one doesn't live up to the others.
I'm still confused with all these crises and references, but thanks for patiently explaining these to us every video. This will eventually make sense. :)
Crisis 1 - No more Multiverse - Main Characters think its all one Universe Crisis 2 - Return of the Multiverse - Main Characters STILL think its all one Universe Crisis 3 - Multiverse still exists - Main Characters now know the Multiverse Exists Interlude - Flash Point - Barry Allen Almost messed up the entire multiverse Crisis? 4? - Dr. Manhatten uses Barrys mess up as a way to rewrite details of the Multiverse Crisis 5 - Dark Knights Metal and Perpetua and Wonder Woman becomes a god Crisis 6 - This current Crisis Hopefully I didnt miss one :D
@@ArakkoaChronicles oh Zero hour!! Thank you. Didnt DK metal, death metal and then perpetua all come back to back? I know they are "seperate" but the batman who laughs being from the dark multiverse kinda felt like it was all purposely building into perpetua
That new 52/dcyou Earth 2 series was fire. It's too bad those specific earth 2 characters get pretty much ignored now. Alan Scott being the guardian of the green and a lantern - was amazing.
(Now I’m being annoying for the sake of the joke 🤣) Is inaction an action in itself? Like Batman Begins: “I won’t kill you but I don’t have to save you.” In any case, Manhattan was messing/manipulating something so that means at least some culpability. 😆 (Just having fun here because Manhattan is such an unemotional but fun character to read)
It's a concept call The Omniverse where you've got multiple Multiverses I know it's hard to wrap your head around but imagine a hundred multiverses all of which have an E2 and some of them have a CoiE but others don't simply due to the laws of probability, someone like Extract could leave her multiverse and travel to a new multiverse where things are both much better & slightly worse at the same time. You know what I mean like a place you love doesn't exist but pollution is a thing of the past, minorities never experience racism but.......THE PURGE is a thing.
As much as I didn’t care for Doomsday Clock, it plays a signings part in the Dark Metal event, so if DC ignores one and look at it as an out-of-continuity storyline, wouldn’t/shouldn’t they ignore the other, which by account is in -continuity? Or is this a case where they cherry-pick parts that works for the story, which in turn, puts them back in the perpetual cycle of having to rework their universe because the long term continuity starts to fall apart? 🤔
Well, to play Devil's advocate Batman did explain The New Gods were "abstracts" or ideas given form so when people say "True Form" that's what I believe they are referring too
So I have a side note question. I've been thinking about this for a while. So Barry Allen can travel between universes by vibrating to different frequencies. Has it even been addressed that he wouldn't have to just vibrate to that particular frequency in order to travel, he would have to continuously vibrate the entire time he wants to stay? Because if these alternate universes vibrate at different frequencies, if he stopped, he would immediately pop back to his own universe.
@@moosec6782 fair point. Although I would love too see it addressed in a story. I think it would be cool to have him discussing with someone how he is able to travel between universes. And him mentioning how he has to maintain his concentration and keep up the vibration constantly while he's in the alternate universe.
This Assumes Psycho Pirate Is OmniVersal. That He Exists Outside The Timeline And Knows Everything And Anything That Has Happened In DC Comics. Psycho Pirate Is Basically Sasha From Casually Comics
You know... I don't mind the idea of a continual Crisis that can happen in the background without interupting regular series. It will be when it starts interrupting with the main universe that I start casting side-eyes. And then, it will depend on frequency and quantity of issues when they do decide to dip into current runs.
I guess it took them a while to redo all of the twists and turns that they had kind of done in the past. Or they just had a really really good story that that took them 12 years to bring to pass right now. Whichever one it's a good outcome hopefully in the end
All the confused comments really show how damn complicated it is to figure out DC's history It's basically a mess, it's not even like a reboot could fix it because they just make the reboot Canon and you'd need the history to make sense of the next major event 🙃
I don't know for sure cause this is a lot of retcons hitting each other with rewrites the writers were not aware they were making, I approve of the removal of Doomsday clock ( DC can't act like they originally wrote the Watchman series its confusing and greedy it's just always been part of DC). Rob tried what I can establish is the Golden age or the next decade apart from issue one of DC comics is where Psycho Pirate comes from; he tricked Roy Harper to be a catalyst for releasing misery in the chains that is Darkseid's embodiment at the time restraining the captured heroes right in that spot.
Multiverse movies: [grosses 100s of millions of dollars] DC: hey guys, we heard you like multiverses, so we put a multiverse inside our multiverse. And... 【ＣＲＩＳＩＳ】
I think it’s stupid that there are multiple versions of Darkseid. He’s just like Doom the same person in every reality who no matter the situation will always attempt to seize absolute power and control. It would be so much more interesting if there was one and only one Darkseid across the multiverse. A singular being that exists in every reality. Everything around him is different such as Apokalypse and other characters but the one constant that’s the same is him.
You have post Infinite Crisis Earth 2 and a post Flashpoint aka New 52 Earth 2, those r not same Earth 2's as well. SO there r at least 3 Earth 2's. The New 52 Earth 2 Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman were unalived by Darkseid army. Jay Garrick and Alan Scott r waaaay younger as well, the latter power work diff as well. Plus Thoman Wayne of that Earth was alive as well, he was a Batman for a bit as well. According 2 the Death Metal event they DO member thing from BEFORE 1st crisis. There were ordinary ppl in the Infinite Frontier talking aboot the red sky and shadow creatures. Earth 2 Cameron Chase 1st appeared in these comics though.
The comic writers have said that the existence of hyper time allows them access to any and every character that has ever appeared in DC, side from characters that don't belong to their IP.
Bit of a retcon with the black lantern rings yes? What happened to Nekron, why is it looking for someone who suffers instead of who is simply dead, etc.
What if Ra's al Ghul got the Ten Rings What if the Anti-monitor invaded the Marvel Universe What if Amazo fought the Avengers What if Doctor Strange got the Helmet of Fate What if Darkseid got the Cosmic Cube What if Deadpool got the Mask What if Darkseid fought The Avengers. What if Thanos got the Anti-Life Equation What if Shang-Chi was the Iron Fist What if Superman landed in Asguard What if the Batman Who Laughs invaded the Marvel Universe
Roooob I got a question and I know this has nothing to do with this video but ur the only one tht I think may know this. What is powering doc Oct metal arms . I get the nervous system link to control them but what's powering them?
Darksied: "I have infinity power, so now you can never beat me superman, ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa.... HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA..... Superman: ... Soo.Darkside: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *3 shonen jump episodes later* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HA HA HAAAAAaaaaaaaaa" Random popular green lantern of the week: "Oh yeah dark side, well now I have this fancy golden ring with a white center and now im infinity, PLUUUSSSSS OOOONNNNEEEEE!!!"
I thought DC would have learned about event exhaustion. I feel like killing myself reading some of the more recent stories. Time to read Marvel again lol
i do not know bout you guys , but honestly i am not feeling this infinite frontier" which is post rebirth " and i must admit rebirth was the best thing to come out of detective comics in a long time , i mean every titled comic in rebirth was rich with eventful stories except shazam (for me it ust was not it ) , fingers crossed , i hope the story gets better , but Dark crisis is loooooooooooooooking pretty good , i was not expecting it to , but mehn i am impressed @comics explained
I do like that Darkseid has his old school design rather than something flashier.

Welcome to the DCUniverse
Crisis 1 - No more Multiverse - Main Characters think its all one Universe
Crisis 2 - Return of the Multiverse - Main Characters STILL think its all one Universe
Crisis 3 - Multiverse still exists - Main Characters now know the Multiverse Exists
Interlude - Flash Point - Barry Allen Almost messed up the entire multiverse
Crisis? 4? - Dr. Manhatten uses Barrys mess up as a way to rewrite details of the Multiverse
Crisis 5 - Dark Knights Metal and Perpetua and Wonder Woman becomes a god
Crisis 6 - This current Crisis
Hopefully I didnt miss one :D
@@cleaveuntome42 Zero Hour, and also you merged Dark Knights Metal and DK Death Metal. Also the Perpetua thing was kind of separate.
There was a point where I just gave up trying to understand it, it makes the story a little more enjoyable
@@ArakkoaChronicles oh Zero hour!! Thank you.
Didnt DK metal, death metal and then perpetua all come back to back?
I know they are "seperate" but the batman who laughs being from the dark multiverse kinda felt like it was all purposely building into perpetua
All I know about True Darkseid is that he was pretty much demoted to becoming the Goldar to Perpetua’s Rita Repulsa.
So there is no True Form Darksied???
I read all of your comments in the voice of producer Dan. It just seems to fit.
So he jobs and complains on how he’ll kill them next time?
@@BigReuben97 there is darkseid molds avatars to move around in different dimensons
Dddaaaammmnnnn!!
That new 52/dcyou Earth 2 series was fire. It's too bad those specific earth 2 characters get pretty much ignored now. Alan Scott being the guardian of the green and a lantern - was amazing.
I'm glad Psycho-Pirate is getting a bigger paycheck in the villain community
THIS IS THE BEST THING COMING OUTTA DC REBIRTH!!
(Pushes glasses up nose and in nasally annoying voice ) Actually Rob Dr. Manhattan killed Alan Scott not Jay Garrick 😅
Beat me to it nerd lol
Technically he didn't kill Alan Scott he just didn't let him be saved by moving the lantern. It's not like Dr Manhattan atomized Alan Scott.
(Now I’m being annoying for the sake of the joke 🤣)
Is inaction an action in itself?
Like Batman Begins: “I won’t kill you but I don’t have to save you.”
In any case, Manhattan was messing/manipulating something so that means at least some culpability.
😆
(Just having fun here because Manhattan is such an unemotional but fun character to read)
Derp derp derp
I was gonna say that
So much to process. This on of those videos you have to watch a few times to take it all in.
How do people manage to keep dc continuity straight? It's so freaking convoluted with all these reboots and Crisis events.
It's a concept call The Omniverse where you've got multiple Multiverses I know it's hard to wrap your head around but imagine a hundred multiverses all of which have an E2 and some of them have a CoiE but others don't simply due to the laws of probability, someone like Extract could leave her multiverse and travel to a new multiverse where things are both much better & slightly worse at the same time. You know what I mean like a place you love doesn't exist but pollution is a thing of the past, minorities never experience racism but.......THE PURGE is a thing.
Keep this series comin
I wanna see Dr. Manhattan fight Darksied. I know it wouldn’t be much of a fight but still I’d love to see it.
I wonder if the darkness is gonna be the new enemy. A being that doesn't really show up much 😕
We need an update on any Doomsday related comics. It's like DC put him on the shelf after killing Superman.
Facts.
As much as I didn’t care for Doomsday Clock, it plays a signings part in the Dark Metal event, so if DC ignores one and look at it as an out-of-continuity storyline, wouldn’t/shouldn’t they ignore the other, which by account is in -continuity? Or is this a case where they cherry-pick parts that works for the story, which in turn, puts them back in the perpetual cycle of having to rework their universe because the long term continuity starts to fall apart? 🤔
As soon as Darkseid came in I knew the video was coming to an end!! 😡cliffhangers!!!
I dunno why but the way they are naming these comics now are like champion of the universe titles.
Thanks Rob for this awesome video. And on my birthday too today is gonna be super amazing
Well, to play Devil's advocate Batman did explain The New Gods were "abstracts" or ideas given form so when people say "True Form" that's what I believe they are referring too
Love Infinite Frontier!! Top 20 most powerful DC characters hierarchy please.

I'd assume that his body acclimates to that frequency the same as your body acclimates to floating in water.
@@moosec6782 fair point. Although I would love too see it addressed in a story. I think it would be cool to have him discussing with someone how he is able to travel between universes.

Damn! Psycho Pirate was done dirty.
Rob you have to cover Reginald Hudlin's Black Panther run.
These crisis vids make my head hurt.
ROB....IM YELLIN YOU...you need to interview Eric July on this channel or your geek culture explained channel and definitely cover The Rippaverse
This Assumes Psycho Pirate Is OmniVersal. That He Exists Outside The Timeline And Knows Everything And Anything That Has Happened In DC Comics.
Psycho Pirate Is Basically Sasha From Casually Comics
HES GOT A MACHINE HEAD! Better than the rest, HES GOT A MACHINE HEAD
I hate that my brain has associated your voice with sleeping and now I fall asleep whenever I try watch a video
Dark Knights death metal turned the dc multiverse into an omniverse, so its possible the original multiverse is apart of it.
You know... I don't mind the idea of a continual Crisis that can happen in the background without interupting regular series.
It will be when it starts interrupting with the main universe that I start casting side-eyes. And then, it will depend on frequency and quantity of issues when they do decide to dip into current runs.
DARKSEID AND VANDAL SAVAGE GREATEST VILLAINS IN DC HISTORY…BEEN WAITING ON THIS STORY FROM ROB CANT WAIT TO SEE WHATS NEXT
I guess it took them a while to redo all of the twists and turns that they had kind of done in the past. Or they just had a really really good story that that took them 12 years to bring to pass right now. Whichever one it's a good outcome hopefully in the end
What??? This has never been seen before! The 5602nd return of Darkseid!!!
Speedy's hitting that speed🤫
19:25 in your coverage of infinite frontier 0, Darkseid specifies it is his true form. Darkseid is...a villain
All the confused comments really show how damn complicated it is to figure out DC's history
It's basically a mess, it's not even like a reboot could fix it because they just make the reboot Canon and you'd need the history to make sense of the next major event 🙃
Actually DCs Timeline is more consistent than Marvel.
Even their Multiversal map is more organize than Marvel.
Salaam. Good breakdown
With all this stuff going on I don’t even remember what happened to the Batman who laughs.
@threedoubleyou dotcom OH RIGHT I forgot she basically became goddess of the multiverse

Mmmm yes believing Darkseid and grouping up with that guy is always a good idea. Said no good guy ever.
Rob Daddy I come once more to ask for the long awaited part 3 to Umbrella Academy
Jay Garrick wasn’t the one killed in train crash. It’s Alan Scott, mate!
The reboots always confuse me thank god for this channel
The train crash thing was Alan Scott
I think it’s stupid that there are multiple versions of Darkseid. He’s just like Doom the same person in every reality who no matter the situation will always attempt to seize absolute power and control.
It would be so much more interesting if there was one and only one Darkseid across the multiverse. A singular being that exists in every reality. Everything around him is different such as Apokalypse and other characters but the one constant that’s the same is him.
There kind of is, if you want to talk about true from darkseid.

can u make about cosmic armour superman comic explained or his abilities

Should be classed as Omaga Darkseid...

Nice
Ok I need to write this down to get the order of things: this crisis, that crisis, crisis.....😬
I thought DC would have learned about event exhaustion. I feel like killing myself reading some of the more recent stories.
Time to read Marvel again lol
Rob didn't you do a video on True Forn Darkseid
How does Convergence fit in where it was supposed to have changed the original Crisis of Infinite Earths?
Sweet 👍
Omega Lantern does sound pretty badass, ngl.
~_~
i think you meant to say Quintessence not Octessence at 6:12, that would be in marvel good sir.
Darkseid is a beast
Superman fought a sand version of himself? Didn't that also happen in Future's End?
0:38 who is the lady with the golden claws?
I know it's kind of new but can you do Wonder Woman: Dead Earth?
Fans didn’t make up true form darkseid, dc published it in their official encyclopedia.
DC is like, “If we just confuse the frick out of people they won’t know if anything is good or bad.”
Are you gonna cover characters from the RIPPAVERSE

DC stands for Directly Confusing, with that said this story is very interesting
