"Controlled by Harley Quinn and her plants." You can tell Rob is having dumb amounts of fun with a story when he makes mistakes and doesn't cover them up.
ComicsExplained sometimes the hot women of comic books all run together in our thoughts and fantasies and we might be thinking about how hot it would be if Harley was taking you on an adventure while you're talking about poison ivy, also let me know if you saw my comment about my friend Paolo Rivera who works for marvel who i just found out about and if you have seen any of his work
I like this story, because after so much fucking "because i'm Batman" syndrome, it's nice to remember that Batman actually is just a man who doesn't want what happened to him, happen to others, to help criminals, not just beat them up.
Thats why i think the animated Batman series was such a Gem! We had a batman who more or less did everything to help the criminals in his rose gallery who all were humanized to have real motives to being villains.
Yeah I also appreciate the comic gave Gotham more REALISTIC reasons for being a bad city, not just make it some magic magnet for every type of horrific serial killers but instead show the crime is caused by realistic things like the whole Detroit parallel. Also your “because I’m Batman” I think that also shows the big problem, people have been trying to get rid of the concept of Bruce Wayne and just have Batman when really they are two sides of the same coin that are important to both
I love how simple this story is. There's no supervillains trying to take over the world, just Batman helping a kid. This is now in my top 3 favorite Batman stories.
Its what Batman does best in, these street level situations. Batman has become so over the top that it's REALLY hard to enjoy the character. He's depicted as far more than just a man these days, which devalues everything that made him special as a hero. A man among 'Gods'.
We need more street level Batman stories, because personally it kind of gets boring reading certain Batman stories involving science fiction, mysticism, or military plots. Batman: War on Crime is prime example of how to do a Batman story.
Brandon Scott Exactly, it’s why Batman TAS and the Neal Adams Stories were so popular back then. Batman was a street level vigilante who can beat up gangsters (Batman TAS episode "I am The Night") serial killer (the comics with the Grim Ripper Holocaust Survivor), child abusers ("The Underwellers) and can change the mind of the little populace (See the episodes "It’s Never too late", where Batman try to reform a mob boss, the comics "Appointments in Crime Alley", where it’s the birthday of his parents death) We tend to forget that Batman is born in Crime Alley a shitty Avenue where his parents were killed by a little punk, he’s here to protect the streets and his city, not the planet. It’s a Basic difference between Superman and Batman. Superman can protect a planet, Batman can protect a city.
That's true this is his stories in there core always was he's only like that in some jl comics or version when they want to give him powers for some reason
@@adonis7626 well yeah that's true always been like that but he could definitely help with jl and stuff he doesn't protect the planet alone .but as stories his own ones are the best easily definitely
This story and Superman: Peace on Earth, are both fantastic. These stories make them feel so human. I personally think Superman: Peace om Earth did the whole "what would the world think of Superman" better than BvS. It did what Snyder tried to do, in a much more effective way. Great read
This line of stories by Alex Ross and Paul Dini are, in my opinion, the truest essence of these characters ever put to any comic book/graphic novel format. This includes: "Superman: Peace on Earth", "Batman: War on Crime", Shazam!: The Power of Hope", and "Wonder Woman: Spirit of Truth."
Definitely a SICK take on Batman. Because it remains true to his concept. Fast paced is great and all, but you're right, it took away from the IQ and EQ of Batman.. The writer basically gave the "Nolanized" touch on the Comic Series imo......I've seen the artwork but never knew that was a comic!! I wanna buy this now..GREAT vid Rob, I"m glad you discovered this!
Definitely I throughly enjoyed this story honestly it was refreshing seeing Batman written this way..I am NOT a huge fan of Batman stories cuz his mythos gets to be too much fr I’m more of a punisher /daredevil fan …
Yeah a lot of Batman stories just miss that, true his storylines are more dark/death but the whole point is that Batman fights against that tragedy, just because he wore black doesnt mean he was meant to be any less hopeful as Superman
I love stories like Batman :War on Crime. You can have any superhero come into a situation, use their powers or skills, and stop a crime. But you rarely see one open themselves up to someone in order to keep a bad situation from getting worse, instead of pummeling them. That is the best fucking superpower ever.
If ever there was a story I needed to personally seek out after watching your take on it, my gosh, this is such a story! I love Alex Ross and his clean, timeless Rockwell-like depictions of our favorite heroes. The art on display here is quintessential Batman (that chin!), and the humanitarian spirit Bats and Bruce embody is one I think all heroes in their greatest moments should be capable of passing on to others. Exemplary stuff!
Batman has no hero to save him? That's pretty much the point of the Robin's. It isn't helping him fighting crime, is helping to endure the life he chose to live.
Mario Tovar I mean, I would think that would be the point of the bat family?! They aren't just there to help out when Batman can't, they are also there to celebrate in his triumphs as well as their tragedies as well and vice versa. It is a literal family you know. albeit, a strange one at that :-)
Nicolas Hunt thanks man :-) I try to, at least. kind of mid and obsessive attempt understand all of the bat mythos, since I can't actually read the comics myself... :-) this channel though, and another one, comicstorian go a long way to helping fix that as well as a lot of Googling :-),
If there was no Alfred, No Bat Family then there would be no Batman, Alfred saved him from going down a dark path and was a massive part of turning Bruce into the man he is today, The Bat family are people he can relate to, he sees himself in a lot of the robins and they all help each other cope with their losses.
Omg I remember these comics, they were great. Wonder woman being a diplomat, Shazam getting to grips with being a hero and Superman realising that he can't always help the entire planet.
Rob, I truly love it. DC was what gotten me so much into comics. I am a fan of Marvel, but DC is like home. this shows the human element. tremendous art work, awesome story. it ranks in my top 3 Batman stories of all time. I'm glad DC found their mojo.
This Alex Ross series, there were four, one on Batman, one on Superman, one on wonder woman, one on Captain Marvel/shazam, were great!!!! I think Batman war on crime is one of the best batman stories ever told. And that's what Alex Ross brings to the table, is a return to the golden age era stories of old. His work in DC, kingdom come, justice league 'justice', and these four stand alone stories, are some of the best stuff ever done by DC. It's just nostalgia, and Darwyn Cooke, RIP, also falls into this category, with his artwork mirroring the golden age style of superheros. Justice league new frontier was an amazing story!!!! Just a call back to a simpler time of super heroes. Good stuff Rob!!!
Ah... the Shark Repellent Bat-Spray. The Batcopter also included other marine life repellent sprays as well. Including Manta Ray and Electric Eel if my memory serves me correctly.
I always love the deep cut, kinda techy Batman. Snyder's run is my go-to. But hands down, the. best. Batman stories are the ones where it slows down and takes a moment to show us Bruce Wayne the man.
After watching the recent Batman movie, and seeing this...damn. This story is probably one of the deepest and most adult understandings of the character while simultaneously promoting a message that doesn't feel shallow or forced. I don't know if Hollywood would be able to make a story as mature as this, and that honestly says something about the blockbuster film industry, as well as how amazing this story Alex Ross and Paul Dini created.
Rob PLEASE NEVER STOP what it is that you're doing. I literally continue to re-watch ALL of your every single video. We are the same type of comic and worldly nerd!
I feel like these are the Batman stories that we all thrive for. The dialogue and inner monologues of breaking the cycle are great from a typical batman tale. The simplicity of Batman in his element without plot armor.
This is the simple Batman the cinema needs. World's Greatest Detective and World's Greatest Ninja. Those are his super powers, short and sweet. And he uses his abilities as a Detective Ninja to fight crime.
dasuberedward that's the joke. If you watch any of Robs D.C. Rebirth vids he states that in most of them. Keep in mind I am not making fun of that fact in a negative fashion.
Yeah, this version of Batman is far better than what we have now. Sure the one we have is really cool and tough, but there's not really a human side to him. This story makes him relatable, just like the other stories from 'The Worlds Greatest Superheroes' book collaboration. Rob i hope you do them all, because they're all masterfully drawn and wonderously told.
It's crazy simple but this is the best type of story. When the story is made to be compelling more than complex, the character can always shine through so much better. I love this story and you've inspired me to find it and purchase it.
Absolutely loved it, came across it from a newer vid. Batman being more of an example to some good men and not just a reason to fear being criminals. Saw this good and understanding nature through the Bruce Wayne component in Snyder's run with the charity work
Batman on the "War on Crime" storyline connects to reality more. I was surprised that the storyline is very far from the Batman storyline in the 'Suicide Squad' movie and the Dark Knight movie trilogy. I have connected more to the "War on Crime' storyline than any other Batman storyline I had encountered before. Every video from this channel is amazingly comprehensive and informative. Thank you for making this kind of videos. I'm a subscriber of your channel. I wish more power and subscribers to your channel.
Love these stories and the art that brings them to life. It's so human. Rossi is a masterful blend of Rockwell and Kirby and I love it. Keep the stories coming.
I loved this. I agree with you, this is really good and falls under the top 3 for me. But there still are good batman stories now and after this story.
I like both sides. But I'm a firm believer in the fact that "All great stories must begin, and end, with the human element." and this story does exactly that.
I have to say that to me, the best part of Batman is his compassion for children. He understands that often times they are overlooked because most people believe that they can get over issues that they experience early on, but Batman understands that pain and how it affects someone young. Moments like this between him and Marcus, or the moment where he sits on the swings with Ace from Justice League Unlimited are probably the best written Batman scenes because it shows the man more so than the bat.
this is second time I believe ever commented on TH-cam about this is beyond brilliant thank you for this enlightenment anybody who doesn't believe this I am so sorry for your loss of sight connect to the mind and soul
I'd never heard of this book before, but less than a minute into your review of it, I had to pause it until I get myself a copy and read it. This looks amazing!
This is my favourite Batman story. And probably why I hated Batman vs Superman so much. The depiction of Batman in that movie was totally removed from the character that I know. The production team for the next Batman movie needs to read War On Crime before even writing a script.
I watch this when it came out, then Shazam and Superman. Thanks for sharing this amazing stories, it warms my heart and inspire me, to be brave and live by my ideals :)
great video boss, Alex Ross is amazing. I love comics, but when I see this its like he's too good for comics. Like museum quality. The facial emotion, unparalleled.
"Controlled by Harley Quinn and her plants."
You can tell Rob is having dumb amounts of fun with a story when he makes mistakes and doesn't cover them up.
Harley Quinn controls plants, Poison Ivy hangs out with the Joker :-)

I’m Batman is dope

@Chi he does
i wish he made it a bit more armored but i see the vision
We need more street level Batman stories, because personally it kind of gets boring reading certain Batman stories involving science fiction, mysticism, or military plots. Batman: War on Crime is prime example of how to do a Batman story.

We tend to forget that Batman is born in Crime Alley a shitty Avenue where his parents were killed by a little punk, he’s here to protect the streets and his city, not the planet.
It’s a Basic difference between Superman and Batman.
Superman can protect a planet, Batman can protect a city.
Also grounded psychological stories like The Killing Joke and Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth.
That's why I love Batman Under The Red Hood movie
That's true this is his stories in there core always was he's only like that in some jl comics or version when they want to give him powers for some reason
@@adonis7626 well yeah that's true always been like that but he could definitely help with jl and stuff he doesn't protect the planet alone .but as stories his own ones are the best easily definitely
This is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read
The bird Of Blüdhaven love your name man
Fire Bucket 1557 thank you
The bird Of Blüdhaven your welcome
I'm finding you on all of these vids looool
CompoComics I'm nowhere and everywhere
Batman's superhero is Alfred, in a lot of batman stories Alfred was the difference between him becoming batman and him going down that dark spiral.
Yup
or robin
When Alfred died recently I cried. He’s Bruce’s Dad. The way Bruce is dad to all the robins.
Yuhu
This is Batman in his truest form.
This isn't even his final form.
His final form is golden. /s
Agreed
The art is honestly insane
@GeorgeC Totonjie I know who he is, haha.
It is by an artist named Alex Ross, check him out
Yes art is one of the best
This story and Superman: Peace on Earth, are both fantastic. These stories make them feel so human.
I personally think Superman: Peace om Earth did the whole "what would the world think of Superman" better than BvS. It did what Snyder tried to do, in a much more effective way. Great read
Perfectly said
Well said.
These are the kind of Batman stories that make me love Batman.

the stories exploring Bruce Waynes humanity and compassion are by far the greatest Batman stories
this Batman is more relatable
he's just more of a hero, not a human God like he's often misconstrued nowadays
This is how Batman should be
Definitely I throughly enjoyed this story honestly it was refreshing seeing Batman written this way..I am NOT a huge fan of Batman stories cuz his mythos gets to be too much fr I’m more of a punisher /daredevil fan …
"Now here's why Batman: War on Crime is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth"
this story paints Batman as surprisingly hopeful. it's very Superman like
Yeah a lot of Batman stories just miss that, true his storylines are more dark/death but the whole point is that Batman fights against that tragedy, just because he wore black doesnt mean he was meant to be any less hopeful as Superman

you misspelled alfred
Batman : Night Cries is one of my favorite one shot stories. Being a survivor of child abuse, this one really hit home for me.
Omg I remember these comics, they were great. Wonder woman being a diplomat, Shazam getting to grips with being a hero and Superman realising that he can't always help the entire planet.
I could've swear that Rob was going to say "Batman War on Crime is the best thing coming from DC Rebirth right now" lol
Awesome video, Rob!
This is the essence of Batman which none of the movies have been able to capture. Loved every moment!
When your chillin watching TH-cam videos and you get hit with some deep batman stuff.
I have been looking for the story arc for about five years. Thank you so much for making this
Rob, I truly love it. DC was what gotten me so much into comics. I am a fan of Marvel, but DC is like home. this shows the human element. tremendous art work, awesome story. it ranks in my top 3 Batman stories of all time. I'm glad DC found their mojo.

I absolutely love Alex work. His kingdom come is for me the pinnacle for comic book art
Tyson Phillips agreed, the scene at the end after the bomb goes off and superman is just on his knees screaming. I saw that and was just like, fuck.
I swear I was waiting to hear Rob say: "Alex Ross's art is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth right now!"
Except the shark repellent wasn't on his utility belt..... it was in the helicopter.
It was on his belt in the surfing episode.
That Which Smashes. but the helicopter its self is kept on the belt...
ArkSilent or the Bat Anti-antidote
That Which Smashes Shut up
Ah... the Shark Repellent Bat-Spray. The Batcopter also included other marine life repellent sprays as well. Including Manta Ray and Electric Eel if my memory serves me correctly.
Behold, the only Batman comic that has made me cry
I absolutely love hyper realistic art. These are my favorite DC comics in terms of art, but the grounded story doesn't hurt either.
I always love the deep cut, kinda techy Batman. Snyder's run is my go-to. But hands down, the. best. Batman stories are the ones where it slows down and takes a moment to show us Bruce Wayne the man.

He doesn't have plot armor it's a dumb overused joke that turned into a whole misconception
I want Kevin Conroy to narrate Alex Ross's work
love this story. Alex Ross always knocks it out of the park. It's always a good day when Rob drops some "out of no where" stories.
"Who's Batman's savior?"
There's always Alfred
this is awesome because how human the story is
Rob, you magnificent beast! Blessing us with another video.
Rob deserves well over 1 subscribers. I'm sharing these videos to fb every chance I get
6:55 The sadness in that kid's expression, it's... oh my god... it's so raw and moving.

gave a thumbs up for the art. story was a nice change of pace but couldn't imagine a whole series like that.
The image of batman hugging Marcus is a beautiful picture.

But War... War never changes...
The CONCEPT of war never changes.
3.14 Dragon no the ppl who cause the wars and their agenda never changes but should and eventually will
Paragon you know what else doesn't changes? the need of help for our settlements being attacked by raiders. here, I'll mark it on your map.
The power of Mods compels you.
3.14 Dragon & Paragon, War does, (Swords & Shields --> ICBM & Nukes) its horror doesn't 'nuff said
This was beautifully written I love this story rob It gave me another side of Batman I never knew
We need more stories like this..man rewatching has only showed me that when superheroes were like this it was better.
Great story, thanks for highlighting it
Beautiful, so so so good, thank you for making this video
I think it was a truly honest take on batman, there are times that I wish more stories were written like this
I'd never heard of this book before, but less than a minute into your review of it, I had to pause it until I get myself a copy and read it. This looks amazing!
I remember reading this story and crying 😭 on how beautiful and touching it was
Batman takes you to unheard places except its called blackgate prison😂😂😂
This is my favourite Batman story. And probably why I hated Batman vs Superman so much. The depiction of Batman in that movie was totally removed from the character that I know.
The production team for the next Batman movie needs to read War On Crime before even writing a script.
Alex Ross art is a gift from god.
I never saw something that beautiful.
that story was amazing.It's a nice change from the more regular no emotions disconnected batman
This is the artistic direction DC cinema needs to go in.
This is a beautiful story. I think I never heard of this, thank you Rob
Wonderful story! Simple, yet powerful. My humble opinion, this is the best type of comic
just brilliant. love this channel! keep it up!
My favorite Batman story of all time
what you said around 1:24 is exaclty what i want for the movies! i just could never articulate it as well as you did
this story is amazing. This is the kind of character that i love to read.
I watch this when it came out, then Shazam and Superman.
Thanks for sharing this amazing stories, it warms my heart and inspire me, to be brave and live by my ideals :)
I really need to read this now.
Thanks for the introduction!
"This is the best thing that came out of batman comics." I was hoping to hear this.
this is a great change up from regular gadget batman. More base emotions and ground level stuff. really love the premise of this story.
Seems like a really awesome story and the art work is great!
I cant wait for the Peace on Earth video
All of these artworks are an asthetic to look at. Alex Ross is an ABSOLUTELY TALENTED GENIOUS.
A great introspective piece about the shared life of Batman and Bruce Wayne.
This is BATMAN. Such a great review. I am an illustrator as well and Alex Ross artwork it's soooo beyond. Thx again for sharing.
great video boss, Alex Ross is amazing. I love comics, but when I see this its like he's too good for comics. Like museum quality. The facial emotion, unparalleled.
I really really liked this take on Batman would love to see more of these types of stories
