It’s funny cause the Devastator seems like the least evil Batman. Yeah, he turns into Doomsday, but he seems to still have his mental faculties and even laments that he couldn’t save more people
@@crazyperson3812 He didn't really redeemed himself. Barry still somewhere in Red Death, so what happened was Barry took over control of Red Death from Bruce
These villain based on Batman nightmares Batman who laughs- when joker wins Red Death- not fast enough Murder machine- Losing Alfred Dawnbreaker- get this will of killing gets the better of him Drowned- believing the truce doesn't say that Merciless- losing his love and power gets the best of him Devastator- Superman going rogue
I actually thought the Drowned was Batman's fear of him not being powerful enough because he doesn't have superpowers. I also believe the Red Death was representative of him not being fast enough to save Jason Todd and not being powerful enough to save his parents. Interestingly enough, some of his dialogue also imply he is represent of Batman's fear of old age slowing him down.
Those seven versions of Batman are kind of proof, that Batman can be the most dangerous person to the entire justice league and the planet if he ever snapped, in those cases, he did
Watching the batman who laughs kill not only the bat family but also watching him make superman and his son jon get exposed to that black kryptonite to tear lois lane his wife was really messed up in my opinion
Devastator Batman is by far my favorite. It’s a more realistic scenario to me...instead of the usual fight where Batman always catches Superman off guard with some form of Kryptonite. It takes Batman literally sacrificing himself to become a monster. And the emotional angle is powerful! Superman was the only person Batman says he believed in, that he hoped could bring a better future. In way Batman becoming Devastator is Batman giving up the last piece of hope/humanity he had for the world.
The only problem is that he had NO reason to trust or follow The Batman Who Laughs. Batman The Devastator is still Bruce down beneath there and not some twisted version of him, straight up the regular old Batman, just in a highly mutated body. So him teaming up with The Batman Who Laughs is weird.
@@kabobawsome not just his body, he's not all still Bruce, his mind was corrupted as well, first sign is he starting to in love with the power and his only regrets didn't use it earlier. He have no reason to believe The BWL yes, but he didn't really believe him. All he wants right there is to save everyone from Superman using the virus, The BWL knows it and used it. The BWL basically tells Doomday Batman that he can't save everyone on his world, but he can still save the people in another one, where "they don't know the truth about Superman" but he does. If that wasn't enough, Doomday Batman's mind did twisted, not only from the virus, but also because of Superman betrayal, in his world, Superman is the only one Batman really trust and believe the better future Sups promised, so his betrayal make Batman lose all hope. So he didn't "team up" he don't cares nor supports The BWL, he just cares about Superman and him only....
@@kabobawsome nah his emotions are going down the drain... U can see when he says in the inner monologue... He also said he thought he would feel sad killing his best friend but he didn't
THAT and he is hands down the most powerful besides the Batman who laughs and the idea of a doomsday Batman was so ridiculous to me it made him my favorite xd
Fun Fact, each Batman is from a Negative Earth that's similar to a positive Earth in the DC Multiverse Laughs: Earth -22, on regular 22 (the Kingdom Come story) Joker dies. Red Death: Earth -52, parallels Earth 0 (the main one) the universe made after Flashpoint. Murder Machine: Earth -44, parallels Earth 44, where robots replace the Justice League Dawnbreaker: Earth -32, on regular 32 there's also a Lantern Batman Drowned: Earth -11 and +11 are both Gender-swap. Merciless: Earth -12. Earth +12 is the Justice League/Batman Beyond cartoon, where Batman and Wonder Woman are totally crushing on each other. Devastator: Earth -1. Earth One is a gritty, realistic series that started with Batman and Superman. Earth -1 ends with the two.
@@Wingcrawler That would make sense, also, the Superman's in the dark multiverse seem weakers than the ones in the prime multiverse. Even New52 Superman was capable of riping Doomsday in half
The Drowned is my favorite. I imagine that she could kick Aquaman's ass in a fight any day. And the fact that she augmented her body while she was still awake. Now that's what I call Metal.
I wish they would have elaborated on The Merciless' and The Devastator's origins because they are insanely badass. I like all the Dark Knights, but my three favorites are hands down Red Death, Dawnbreaker, and The Batman Who Laughs.
if think about it Batman The Merciless take ideas from the first god of war game, that being bruce stole the power and title of god of war from ares and killed him.
TheSilverPhoenix100 both the Merciless and God of War are owned by the DC comics publishing company, and I think the only reason as to why DC didn't go into full detail of his story was because of the Batman who laughs had to requite the entire negative Justice League in a short amount of time to kill off the positive Justice League in a short amount time.
Doomsday Batman doesn’t seem to actually be evil or a villain, he might be the most sane of them all. if anything he was manipulated by the batman who laughs into joining him in his multi-versal campaign of domination and destruction because he recently murdered his friend and his mind would be so devastated and broken. Like batman is all tough and gruff and "I'm willing to put you down if that is what it takes to keep others safe" but they are friends, batmans and superman are friends, and if he had to kill him and essentially turn into superman worst enemy just to "keep others safe"
Yeah The Devastator seems to most sane probably less then The Drowned Because All he wants to Do is save People form Superman Because in his Universe Superman went crazy And Killed a lot of people i wouldn't be surprised if He killed the Batfamily too And the thing he does is to spread the Doomsday Virus but it's Only For People can be able to defend themselves.
Jason didnt want to Go down without a fight. Hell he came closest to putting an end to him at that point. I feel like he immediatly noticed something was wrong and already prepared himself... sadly he was just not fast enough.
Red Death has to be my favourite. It shows how much responsibility The Flash has and also because Flash’s parents also died, he could just be like Red Death. Absolutely amazing!
I like how each Night represents aspects one can see with Batman. Laughs is the arugument that both Joker and Bats are one in the same. Red Death is how Batman will cross lines when his loved ones die with the lost of his family, as seen after Jason Todd died, or when Alexsnder Luthor nearly killed Nightwing. Murder Machine is his coping mechanism bring Alfred after his parents died, being flipped on IT'S head. Dawnbreaker is basically fueled by his patents death and willpower, just in the wrong direction. Merciless is how some might see Batman's method of stopping crime, as well his high moral standing, can come off as more a despot. As seen with Frank Miller's Batman in the Dark Knight Returns. Drowned is Batman's paranoia of metahumans in general. Which given the whole Doctor Kight mind erasing and the creation of Brother Eye, isn't exactly unfounded. Devastator is basically what Bats can assume of Supes, on the worst day of his life. Injustice, BvS, even the fact that Bats keeps a shard of kryptonite on him back then.
Think about this... Even the Batman we know and love could have a chance at becoming the Devastator anytime Superman goes rouge/evil/insane. Batman always has a contingency plan, and infecting himself with the Doomsday virus is his last resort backup plan for having his kryptonite destroyed.
The Red Death has got to be my favorite. Something about that bat symbol with the flashes streak of lightning going down the middle. They managed to combine their symbols and simultaneously make it look like the bat symbol is broken to represent that the Batman he use to be is no more. No to mention the sweet power combination. A person with already genius intellect given the ability to access the speed force? I mean come on. Any idea, invention or plan he has would have already been thought up, concepted, tested, retested and then created, all in the time it took you to blink. Scary stuff.
Also, Bruce Wayne watched his family being gunned down, which is one of the reasons he refuses to use guns, with bullets. That tragedy turned him into Batman. However, The Batman Who Laughs, gunned down his Bat Family with joy. That’s when you realize, that the real Batman is truly “dead”. That was freaking disturbing.
So basically these Batmen are based on his Nightmares. The Batman who laughs-If Joker won The Red Death-Not being able to save people in time The Murder Machine-Losing Alfred The Dawnbreaker-His need for vengeance getting the better of him The Drowned-If Aquaman caused a flood upon Gotham The Merciless-Losing a loved interest The Devastator-If Superman got hypnotised and went feral
So the equivalencies to the Justice league is Batman who laughs: Batman Red death: flash Murder machine: cyborg Dawn breaker: Green lantern Drowned: Aquaman/Aquawoman/ Wonder woman Merciless: Wonder woman, possibly Devastator: Superman
I think they are equivalents to each arch enemy of the Justice League Batman who laughs: Joker Red Death: Godspeed Murder Machine: Grid Dawnbreaker: Sinestro Drowned: Black Manta Merciless: Ares Devastator: Doomsday
Red Death and Batman who Laughs are just sad. In Red Death he rips Barry apart and in BWL he forces Superman to murder his own family. My personal favorite story of the lot is a tie between Merciless and Devastator
It had me equal parts sobbing and retching with goosebumps all over my body. As sad as it was, it was also sick, twisted, and horrifying. Saying that the BwL is the worst possible nightmare in existence isn’t an understatement, in my opinion.
The Red Death was mentioned in the flash show. they said that in the show: "cicada killed more people than the reverse flash and the red death" So basically red death exists in CW'S ArrowVerse. and may appear on the flash in a future episode or season
TheSilverPhoenix100 Bat Kratos is the perfect nickname for him because both the Merciless and Kratos are owned by the same comic publishing company DC comics.
The first Batman from the Negative Multiverse that I had heard about was Red Death Batman, and I really loved his character, not just because I'm a massive fan of The Flash and speedsters, but because his story managed to grip my attention when I first heard about it, even after they arrived in the multiverse/main Earth.
My favourite is actually the Devastator, because after all, it wasn't his fault. He had to become a villanous monster to stop another villain and lost everything in the process, including his humanity
@@Struth86 it's about the vulgarity of it. I don't think we've changed from the Romans . This meaning the Pinnacle of entertainment in any extent is pain. Pain is conveys all emotions when portrayed properly but most importantly it is the main ethic behind a majority of stroyies worth telling.
Most other “evil” versions of Batman were just trying to make the world a better place and saving their love ones through their twisted ways, but the Batman who laughs is just straight up a psychopath
Wow that was awesome and disturbing favorite ones are the one who laughs the Red Death and Dawnbreaker I particularly liked Dawnbreaker because it was like an interesting twist to Bruce as a young boy instead of feeling scared and Afraid there was no fear.
Every evil doer in Gotham would most likely retire en mass when word got out that a new Batman is in town with all the powers and strength of Doomsday! Actually, I bet crime rates would plummet worldwide. What's that? Batman is now unkillable and he can throw a building at you? Love, Peace & Chicken Grease. I'm out!
Should do nightmare version of other DC heroes, like Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (don't know it either Hal, Guy, John, Jessica, Simon, or Kyle), Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Nightwing, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, Robin, Kid Flash, Black Lightning, Static, or any one else?
Nightmare Superman was actually a thing a year or three ago I think. He was created from a version of Superman I think that died inside The Phantom Zone. He was a playable character in one of the DC online games that shut down a little while ago along with atomic Wonder Woman.
I thought that was they way they were going with this - Barbatos warned Bruce that all the nightmare worlds with all the nightmare versions of all JL members was coming for this version of Earth - if done right, this could be DC's magnum opus
I love how when BWL kills the bat family, the only one prepared was Red Hood. While everyone else just lookdd shocked, Jason pulled out 2 glocks and was ready. Just wasn't too fast
The details about the origins of the seven evil versions of Batmen was very interesting, and to add bizarre as well. To add they all seem like slightly possible event stories that bring a very unique out look on the portrayals; About each one of these the Batmen from the alternate realities.
my favorite of these batmen/women is The drowned, mainly because i can actually see this happening. After all Batman is the most paranoid person in the history of the world. except for maybe mad-eye moody from the harry potter series.
The one thing I always wondered after finishing the series was why the dawnbreaker looks pretty fit and healthy in his origin comic... and then on metal looks like he barely survived a lethal dose of radiation...
In a way The Batman who laughs is like their hero,sure his intentions are evil but he saves each of them from dying along with their world,if it weren’t for him they’d all be dead along with their worlds
Great video, thanks.. My favorite is the red death , you didn't mention the fact that he leaves dead bats behind when he run .. How beautiful is it not =)))
Imagine If There Was An Evil Amalgamation Between Batman And Scarecrow That Would Love To Spread Out And Invokes Fear. Talk About A Terrifyingly Deadly Combination.
The Red Death deserved a happier ending. I know what happens later, and that's alright, but really his world should've lasted longer, and it wasn't like he was killing innocent people before he signed up with the Batman Who Laughs.
Batman Who Laughs: Batman + Joker Red death: Evil Batman + Flash Murder Machine: Heart Broken Batman + Robot Dawnbreaker: Heart Broken Evil Batman + Green Lantern Drowned: Heart Broken Female Batman + Female Aquaman Merciless: Heart Broken Batman + Ares Devastator: Batman + Doomsday
You know, I just thought of something; What would happen if Owlman met the Dark Knights, or at the very least The Batman who Laughs? Do you thin he'd want to join the Dark Knight, or deem them as a threat to his goals, and seek to kill them?
Love watching your videos, this is one of my favorite series of comics. Hope to see if you would do more origin stories for characters in the Dark Multiverse! 🙌🏽😃
I just recently finished collecting all of the dark Knight metals multi-verse figures, with my last piece being the drowned. I really enjoyed the video, and I have subscribed. Thank you
I think the Batman who Laughs & Dawnbreaker are one of my coolest darks nights & Devastator’s backstory is one of the best!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SERIES
I liked the Doomsday batman cuz even tho he was on the verge of death he still had to show Superman why everyone says he can beat him cuz he's unpredictable
It’s funny cause the Devastator seems like the least evil Batman. Yeah, he turns into Doomsday, but he seems to still have his mental faculties and even laments that he couldn’t save more people
Apparently as time progresses, he loses more and more of himself and starts becoming more mindless and beast like

Red Death has to be my favourite.
It shows how much responsibility The Flash has and also because Flash’s parents also died, he could just be like Red Death. Absolutely amazing!
Red Death is essentially Flash if he allowed the pain of his tragedies to take over his mind.

2:28 I like how even tho red hood is shot in the head he’s still ready with his gun
A blue spy in the base
He was the only one who was prepared.
@@concept5631 Wasn't prepared enough though
@@Yeetmaster_2000 The power of plot armor
This is my order of the top 3 fav. For me
1.The Batman Who Laughs
2.DawnBreaker
3.Red Death
I love how jason is the one with the gun, willing to kill bruce considering he is arguably the most loyal there
The first Batman from the Negative Multiverse that I had heard about was Red Death Batman, and I really loved his character, not just because I'm a massive fan of The Flash and speedsters, but because his story managed to grip my attention when I first heard about it, even after they arrived in the multiverse/main Earth.
My favourite is actually the Devastator, because after all, it wasn't his fault. He had to become a villanous monster to stop another villain and lost everything in the process, including his humanity
*MAXIMUM EDGE*
The Batman Who EDGES.
At least they had cooler costumes.
vin cam Edge League? League of Edge?
@@CosmicErrata he's already edgy
Confused Screaming yes, and with the Joker's mindset Batman's inherent edginess becomes his amusement rather than his coping mechanism.
I like the Drowned the best. I think that her and the Doomsday Batman may be able to be talked into becoming good guys again.
Dawnbreaker, The Drowned and Murder Machine are my favorite. I think they did such an amazing job with this story.
Really poves how unstable Bruce Wayne really is. The Flash version, the Doomsday version and the Ares version I could genuinely see happening.
The best origin was the Batman who Laughs and my favorite is the Red Death
How was that the best. It relied on all other heroes suddenly becomingnextremely stupid and weak all of the sudden
@@Struth86 its just an opinion
@@Struth86 it's about the vulgarity of it. I don't think we've changed from the Romans . This meaning the Pinnacle of entertainment in any extent is pain. Pain is conveys all emotions when portrayed properly but most importantly it is the main ethic behind a majority of stroyies worth telling.

My favorite Dark Multiverse is the Grim Knight, because he’s basically Batman merged with Punisher, Deathstroke, and Deadshot.
And he’s pretty much the Batman who laughs’ personal hitman.
EVERY villain who isn't out for chaos thinks they are the good guy. Good and evil is no absolute. It's a matter of perspective.
Marc Magma Truth is a matter of perspective 😃
No
Lex, Vandal, and Ra’s are perfect examples of this thought.
@@coltonwilliams4153
Thaaan there's Joker
Most other “evil” versions of Batman were just trying to make the world a better place and saving their love ones through their twisted ways, but the Batman who laughs is just straight up a psychopath
Wow that was awesome and disturbing favorite ones are the one who laughs the Red Death and Dawnbreaker I particularly liked Dawnbreaker because it was like an interesting twist to Bruce as a young boy instead of feeling scared and Afraid there was no fear.
Every evil doer in Gotham would most likely retire en mass when word got out that a new Batman is in town with all the powers and strength of Doomsday! Actually, I bet crime rates would plummet worldwide. What's that? Batman is now unkillable and he can throw a building at you? Love, Peace & Chicken Grease. I'm out!
Batman who laughs & the Drowned are definitely my two favorites
Dawnbreaker
My Top 5 Favorite Evil Batmen From The Dark Multiverse:
1. The Murder Machine
2. The Devastator
3. The Grim Knight
4. The Red Death
5. The Merciless
DC is just dominated the animated world and the comic world......but live action.....ummm not so much
lol
Nolan's trilogy was so good. Zac Snyder and the DCEU doomed DC.
Hey come back,the joker is here.
2 years later lol but it also dominated the games market until the ps4 spiderman came
The batman who laughs is the creepiest, but his origin story is awesome
Should do nightmare version of other DC heroes, like Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (don't know it either Hal, Guy, John, Jessica, Simon, or Kyle), Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Nightwing, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, Robin, Kid Flash, Black Lightning, Static, or any one else?
Nightmare Superman was actually a thing a year or three ago I think. He was created from a version of Superman I think that died inside The Phantom Zone. He was a playable character in one of the DC online games that shut down a little while ago along with atomic Wonder Woman.
I thought that was they way they were going with this - Barbatos warned Bruce that all the nightmare worlds with all the nightmare versions of all JL members was coming for this version of Earth - if done right, this could be DC's magnum opus
some of them already have them versions
I love how when BWL kills the bat family, the only one prepared was Red Hood. While everyone else just lookdd shocked, Jason pulled out 2 glocks and was ready. Just wasn't too fast
The details about the origins of the seven evil versions of Batmen was very interesting, and to add bizarre as well.
To add they all seem like slightly possible event stories that bring a very unique out look on the portrayals; About each one of these the Batmen from the alternate realities.
I am not really into that type of comics but finding someone who can explains all this in nice and detailed way is really joyful
The Batman Who Laughs. He's the stuff that nightmares are made of.
my favorite of these batmen/women is The drowned, mainly because i can actually see this happening. After all Batman is the most paranoid person in the history of the world. except for maybe mad-eye moody from the harry potter series.
The one thing I always wondered after finishing the series was why the dawnbreaker looks pretty fit and healthy in his origin comic... and then on metal looks like he barely survived a lethal dose of radiation...
It might have been the ring corrupting him
In a way The Batman who laughs is like their hero,sure his intentions are evil but he saves each of them from dying along with their world,if it weren’t for him they’d all be dead along with their worlds
...only so he can manipulate them and be well-prepared to attack earth o in positive multiverse
@@Wingcrawler Like I said,sure he's only doing it for evil purposes,but in a way he saved them from dying along with their worlds
Great video, thanks.. My favorite is the red death , you didn't mention the fact that he leaves dead bats behind when he run .. How beautiful is it not =)))
Bats that suck away your life force.
Dawnbreaker
Evil Green Lantern Batman is my favorite, cuz the costume looks great and he's freaking Batman with a Green Lantern ring, he's damn near unstoppable.
My favorite design is red death batman
And Dawn breakers constructs are so cool
Love the love craftian look.
Imagine If There Was An Evil Amalgamation Between Batman And Scarecrow That Would Love To Spread Out And Invokes Fear. Talk About A Terrifyingly Deadly Combination.
I think there’s artwork of that actually
@@jamesvanitas ok cool right
Names For That Dark Knight:
1. Scare Bat
2. Batcrow
3. The Harvester
The Red Death deserved a happier ending. I know what happens later, and that's alright, but really his world should've lasted longer, and it wasn't like he was killing innocent people before he signed up with the Batman Who Laughs.
bryce is basically not evil untill the batman who loughs recruited her
Batman= bhl
Wonder woman= merciless
Superman= devestator
Aquaman= drowned
Cyborg= murder machine
Red death= flash
Green lantern= dawn breaker
This channel is like watch mojo but a billion times better
Bat man who laughs had the beat origin, because it provides a perfect reason as to why Batman should never kill the Joker.
Not really I mean if he don't have that nano toxin it's pretty legit that he should
Jurra who’s to say he doesn’t?
@@joeyfaircloth9308 wear a gas mask or snipe him there are plenty of ways to kill him without even being close
The toxin ain't an excuse
he could have just asked jason to kill him with his guns
I thought joker couldn't die cause he was actually the Greek god of laughter or some shit. I can't keep up with all this. Lol
Batman Who Laughs: Batman + Joker
Red death: Evil Batman + Flash
Murder Machine: Heart Broken Batman + Robot
Dawnbreaker: Heart Broken Evil Batman + Green Lantern
Drowned: Heart Broken Female Batman + Female Aquaman
Merciless: Heart Broken Batman + Ares
Devastator: Batman + Doomsday
Needlemouse: He storms Mount Olympus
Kratos: Im about to end this man's whole career
I just gotta say I love Needlmouse if I didnt watch his vids I never would of got into marvel and DC
I'm torn between the Drown, the Merciless and of course the Batman Who Laughs.
Dawnbreaker
Probably THE most underrated TH-camr
Love Batman who laughs and he so dark with that toxin and a super murder and i like it :)
The Murder Machine’s story just proves how powerful Alfred is
You know, I just thought of something; What would happen if Owlman met the Dark Knights, or at the very least The Batman who Laughs? Do you thin he'd want to join the Dark Knight, or deem them as a threat to his goals, and seek to kill them?
The Devastator batman is awesome. Bruce did it too stop Clark but now HE was the uncontrollable monster he was trying too kill
My favorite is Dawnbreaker
The Merciless
The red death😈😈😈
Mine have to be the red death
Mine are Red Death and Devastator
I love Batman Who Laughs.
Red Death is my favorite of them, since Flash is my favorite hero, but Murder Machine has the best Origin in my opinion
I like the symbolism on how all the batmen are versions of the justice league and the Batman who laughs is Joker version of Batman
The batman who laughs/The darkest Knight has gotta be the most strongest DC character that ever existed.
I love dark knights metal and I thought it was a epic event ;)
The fact that one of the Robin in chain is Billy Batson is pretty smart/sick
I wonder what the other JL members dark versions are like?
I wonder if this is why Joker is so infatuated with Batman and tries to get him to break.. just to see how much he’d snap 😳
Love watching your videos, this is one of my favorite series of comics. Hope to see if you would do more origin stories for characters in the Dark Multiverse! 🙌🏽😃
I just recently finished collecting all of the dark Knight metals multi-verse figures, with my last piece being the drowned. I really enjoyed the video, and I have subscribed. Thank you
This is how the arkham games would've continued.its literally the same exact story
I think the Batman who Laughs & Dawnbreaker are one of my coolest darks nights & Devastator’s backstory is one of the best!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SERIES
My Favourite of them all is Red Death
plot armor be taking away superman's common sense & flash's ability to dodge a punch
I like The Red Death
I love that there’s one Batman for every member of the justice league
*Dawnbreaker wants Vengeance*
Green Lantern Ring: Allow me to introduce myself.
Red Lantern Ring: Am I a joke to you?
I liked the Doomsday batman cuz even tho he was on the verge of death he still had to show Superman why everyone says he can beat him cuz he's unpredictable
