Which will then lead into INFINITY CRISIS . . .which will then lead into MAXIMUM CRISIS . . . which will finally culminate in REIGN OF THE NFL SUPERPROS!!!
The way I always assumed the Dark Multiverse worked was that each Earth was a copy of Earth Prime's timeline. Everything happened as it did in Earth Prime, UNTIL Azrael won the rematch with Batman. Everything happened the same way UNTIL Blackest Knight went horribly wrong, etc, etc.
To my surprise, I enjoy the name Tempus Fuginaut. Mostly because of the language in it. "Tempus Fugit" means time flies. And "naut" is the suffix for explorers. So he's the explorer of passing times. But then, if you look at it again, "Tempest" means storm, and "Fugitive" means someone who needs shelter. So his name could also be "Seeker Of Shelter From The Storm".
39:10 Ethan: You can't move an island! An island is land! Ben: Well, you can if you separate it from its base. Ethan: NO YOU CAN'T WHAT?!?! Ethan's had to deal with a ton of bullshit science throughout the course of the Back Issues show, but I think this moment finally broke him. XD
Honestly they should go the other way, and say that Tempus won. You don't ever hear from his upcoming crisis because he and his team averted it. You're welcome, everyone!
You should do Dark Multiverse - Infinite Crisis. It works because the actual crisis (Alex Luthor bringing back multiple Earths) doesn't get to happen in the Dark Multiverse version. He's dead before he gets that far. In order for IC to happen, Alex Luthor needed his tower, plus raw MAGIC to power his tower, specific heroes, and the Universe had to be off it's axis (SBP was moving planets around in space). He was also counting on having access to Brother Eye. Ted shuts that down right quick. Ted has control of Brother Eye. He captures the society before they capture the Heroes. He stops the Spectre / Eclipso, so there's no fuel. He also stopped the war in space, so if any planets started moving around on their own, everyone would notice. I loved it.
You know what's also funny? I skipped over the Tempus openings and just read the comics. So the fact that he was warning about a crisis was news to me.
Literally as Sal was describing Temptess showing up in Death Metal to seemingly save the day only to be murdered. All I could picture was Ground Keeper Willie being killed by an Ax in that one Tree House of Horrors episode with the Shining.
I'm so glad that you guys uploaded this. I'm going through some rough stuff right now, so you guys uploading this definitely helps me out. I just want to say thank you guys so much
Wholly be Jesus this was not tge early release patreon back issues! Or did i miss it. TIS A SURPRISE!. Plus bat issues are some of the best back issues
This and Dawnbreaker were the only ones of these dark multiverse books I read, they were interesting, but reading two was enough to get my fill. Love to see Back Issues on them though
I would love to hear you do the other Tales of the Dark Multiverse (maybe not the Judas Contract). Have you ever thought about doing the Superior Foes of Spider-Man?
I love the Tales from Dark Multiverse issues. The Death of Superman episode issue would make a great follow up if Ethan and Ben are ready for more dark shenanigans.
Definitely do the rest of these! Especially Blackest Night! And upon second reading, add Infinite Crisis to the list! You can skip Judas Contract, though. It's not great...
Thank goodness you are covering this particular issue. I was very confused by Batman by the end, not sure what he became or why that was the way it went.
Really excited to see your guys' take on this. Love Saint Batman's outfit so cool. The art was very interesting. My brother had the same complaint that all the endings had to be dark which left a bad taste in his mouth. I enjoyed almost all of the tales. Wish there was a team-up of the characters in these tales.
There was a strangely large number of people who swore up and down Tales from the Dark Multiverse was absolutely nothing like What If back when these were coming out. That got a laugh out of me then, and it's still funny now.
I think DC should have named their What if titles "Perhaps instead?" Has a refined ring to it
"Shrugs" by DC
DC Comics “Howbou’ Dat?”
“Maybe this”
"Something different"
"Let's Try-"
Azrael: Why won't you die?!
Batman: NANOMACHINES SON!
Batman "your pretty good"
Nice Godzilla Mendoza reference
I was going for metal gear solid
“I played college ball!”
“At some cushy ivy league school no doubt!”
“HA! TRY UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS!”
NANOBATS SON!
At the rate we're going we might get The Tempus Fuginaunt Who Laughs.
I want there to be a league of stupid rebirth characters who laugh including Rogal Zar or however you spell his stupid name
Fuck it. We got The Darkest Dr. Bathatten Who Laughs
😂😂😂😂
at this rate we're going to get three Harley Quinns, each one for their respective joker
14:40 The Watcher: “something big is coming”
30 years later:
“ BENDIS IS COMING”
Torn, you fool! You should've let Bruce die a hero! Now you've given him the means to live long enough to become the villain!
Now I'm imagining Torso Bruce growling in Bale Bat voice while Torn lugs him around replying in Hardy Bane Voice.
I definitely think you should do ALL of the Dark Multiverse tales. As you said Sal, they go WAY out of left field!!
I feel like the judas contract one is so light on story. Though I'd enjoy Ben/Ethan reacting to "and then superman shows up to punch Terra l"
What about Adventures of Super Sons it's super wild.
What about Tales of the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis
Yes, absolutely do all of them!
I liked Bane's son in this comic.
Only commenting so the algorithm knows that this epiaode is doing well.
Thirding that
tempus fuginaut must collect the 6 eternity ingots to destroy half the multiverse in DC's new event
*CRISIS WAR*
*Secret Dark Crisis War
@@Insane-Howl-Cowl of course
I wouldn't be surprised if Dc does a movie or comic event called crisis war at some point
Which will then lead into INFINITY CRISIS . . .which will then lead into MAXIMUM CRISIS . . . which will finally culminate in REIGN OF THE NFL SUPERPROS!!!
Now that darkseid has collected the a million glove he can finally destroy all legacy characters
Omg why Sal gotta do the terrifics like that 😂😂😂 IM DYING
I was not expecting that 😂
The way I always assumed the Dark Multiverse worked was that each Earth was a copy of Earth Prime's timeline. Everything happened as it did in Earth Prime, UNTIL Azrael won the rematch with Batman. Everything happened the same way UNTIL Blackest Knight went horribly wrong, etc, etc.

Well. At least Mr. Terrific lives on in Tom King's Depressing-Man 3: Space War Crimes aka Strange Adventures.
So yaaay?
I mean knowing Tom king it’s not gonna be terrific just someone dressed as terrific who acts completely different and doesn’t resemble the character.
The blackest night was the closest thing to a happy ending
Nothing like happy ending the the god of that universe is screaming "LET ME OUT! PLEASE! HELP ME!"
@@priceyyeti4058 por comparação, meio que é.
If you see the other's,it's kind the closest
Ive been looking forward to this - Count Dooku
You FOOL
Hey can you get back to teaching me the jedi arts?
My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.
Jonathan Shaw good, twice the pride double the fall
"I sense great FEAR in you, Sal!"
St Dumas just be like: No Knight of mine is gonna be a Goddamn Bat! Get out of that suit before God sees.
Ben's reaction to the term "Crisis Energy" really sums up my reaction to it as well.
Amen to that, brother. Although, I feel like Ethan my have an aneurysm when he hears who is now tied into this "Crisis Energy" business.
One thing that is undefeated from comic pop is their editing. The quick cut to the batom assassinated me
39:10
Ethan: You can't move an island! An island is land!
Ben: Well, you can if you separate it from its base.
Ethan: NO YOU CAN'T WHAT?!?!
Ethan's had to deal with a ton of bullshit science throughout the course of the Back Issues show, but I think this moment finally broke him. XD
6:50 Dangit. I actually LOVED the Terrifics.
It's weird that they gave this watcher clone the same name as the Clock King from BTAS.
Sal pointed this out on another show, but it's also weird that he kinda looks like The Living Tribunal from Marvel Cosmic.
I was going to comment the same thing. Could they have planned for him to be the same character or just an homage? Guess we'll never know
Honestly they should go the other way, and say that Tempus won. You don't ever hear from his upcoming crisis because he and his team averted it. You're welcome, everyone!
*me watching the entire time* “Well like this is gonna suck at the end.”
I'm going to have to watch this on repeat because I need Sal to do the other Dark stories. He sounds so excited for them that I need it!!!
I always thought that the crisis referred was Death Metal and these characters were going to fight our main heroes. Guess I was wrong
6:54 oof
Please do the rest of the Tales from the Dark Multiverse! They are all just wonderful dumb fun!
Have we gotten an Elseworlds Exchange with Sal and Joel pitching their own 5G since it's not happening?
You should do Dark Multiverse - Infinite Crisis. It works because the actual crisis (Alex Luthor bringing back multiple Earths) doesn't get to happen in the Dark Multiverse version. He's dead before he gets that far.
In order for IC to happen, Alex Luthor needed his tower, plus raw MAGIC to power his tower, specific heroes, and the Universe had to be off it's axis (SBP was moving planets around in space). He was also counting on having access to Brother Eye.
Ted shuts that down right quick. Ted has control of Brother Eye. He captures the society before they capture the Heroes. He stops the Spectre / Eclipso, so there's no fuel. He also stopped the war in space, so if any planets started moving around on their own, everyone would notice.
I loved it.
When Sal and Ethan did their "hurr, hurr" I LOST IT
This is evidence we are not in the Darkest Timeline: Tempus Fuginot did not became a mainline DC character.
You guys are getting funnier and funnier every episode! 😂
You know what's also funny? I skipped over the Tempus openings and just read the comics. So the fact that he was warning about a crisis was news to me.
Literally as Sal was describing Temptess showing up in Death Metal to seemingly save the day only to be murdered. All I could picture was Ground Keeper Willie being killed by an Ax in that one Tree House of Horrors episode with the Shining.
I'm so glad that you guys uploaded this. I'm going through some rough stuff right now, so you guys uploading this definitely helps me out. I just want to say thank you guys so much
I LOVE the Bardic Broadcasts horn sound easter egg at 6:51 !
coming back to this I just realized they predicted Tempus Fuginaut's tragic end in Dark Multiverse: Metal
If we ever get another batman game, itd be super cool if we got the st.batman suit as an alternate
Wholly be Jesus this was not tge early release patreon back issues! Or did i miss it. TIS A SURPRISE!. Plus bat issues are some of the best back issues
This and Dawnbreaker were the only ones of these dark multiverse books I read, they were interesting, but reading two was enough to get my fill. Love to see Back Issues on them though
I would love to hear you do the other Tales of the Dark Multiverse (maybe not the Judas Contract).
Have you ever thought about doing the Superior Foes of Spider-Man?
I want all of the Tales of the Dark Multiverse Back Issues.
One of my favorite recurring motifs is when Ethan is listening to wackadoo comics science and loses his mind. The last sane man.
I love the Tales from Dark Multiverse issues. The Death of Superman episode issue would make a great follow up if Ethan and Ben are ready for more dark shenanigans.
Please do the rest guys, I loved these ridiculous stories, and more Harbor Patrol, please.
Ben's face when Sal said "you mean like the B-Rex from Death Metal?"
I always wanted them to do "full what if...?" stories like quarterly in trade paperbacks or something. so we'd get a full fleshed out stories.
Oof. That cancellation burn for the terrifics lol. This was lots of fun!
I like the idea of someone doing what ifs of classical literature
@Jay Ess that or league of extraordinary gentlemen
WHAT IF?!?! . . . The Joad family struck oil, loaded up the truck, and moved to Beverly . . . Hills that is.
@@joezilla6615 what if heathcliff wasn't sasuke levels of dickish
@@benhramiak8781 What if Holden Caulfield was a Skrull the whole time?
I tought the "greatest crisis ever" that Fugonaut talks about was Death Metal??
Relistening to this makes me want the gang to do an episode on Nightwing the New Order sometime
Speaking of “What If”, I can’t wait to see the “What If” stories portray in the MCU as part of Phase 5! You guys rock, Sal!
love the short episode, more time to watch more back Back Issues
Perfection within the first 10 minutes.
I WOULD LOVE IF YOU ALL DID THE REST OF THE TALES
Definitely do the rest of these! Especially Blackest Night! And upon second reading, add Infinite Crisis to the list! You can skip Judas Contract, though. It's not great...
This video drops, then DC drops they got TFTDM Hush & Flashpoint on the way
Perfect timing
6:52 That hurt my soul
Thank goodness you are covering this particular issue. I was very confused by Batman by the end, not sure what he became or why that was the way it went.
Ah, so Batman did absorb people.
I loved how you guys were making fun of Tempus.
What is your guys favorite Elseworld or What If story?
Mine is Kingdom Come and What If Newer Fantastic Four vs Thanos.
I love how fast you guys were giving Tempest a hard time XD
What If Wolverine met Conan was cool. Time travel, Red Sonja, The Dark Phoenix Saga, everything in one tight issue from the 80's. It's really fun.
I definitely support doing the whole series! And keep on keeping on!
Ah summer of 2022 Dark Crisis
PLEASE DO THESE ALL!!!!
Really excited to see your guys' take on this. Love Saint Batman's outfit so cool. The art was very interesting. My brother had the same complaint that all the endings had to be dark which left a bad taste in his mouth. I enjoyed almost all of the tales. Wish there was a team-up of the characters in these tales.
40:55 damn, 10 years? What a milestone indeed.
Sal wanting to do more of these just made me think, GBU?
It'd be awesome if you guys did all of the Tales from the Dark Multiverse stories!
A week or so late, but I'd love to see more of the Dark Multiverse
Tempus Fuginaut sounds like an awesome Warhammer 40k Space Marine name
love that you guys did multiple episodes from this failed initiative, made for great episodes lmao
Man. I hope that we can get the other stories too! The Death of Superman one was crazy!
Do them all!
Do them all. I want to see you guys do Dark Multiverse!
Awesome episode! Definitely didn’t expect this one, I hope you guys do the rest of them!!
Best episode to date, please do all of the Tales of the Dark Multiverse
Man, I really enjoyed Sideways and Damage.
Sounds cooler than I thought it’d be
Please do more. These what ifs are quite interesting
I almost choked on my saliva when I saw the title :D I actually like some of Tales of the Dark Multiverse stories
"Nomos like Nomos like"
I hope they do all the dark multiverse stories
I swear they've talked about this book before.. I distinctly remember Bruce being just a torso.
Either way, more than happy to hear the story again!
I want to see all of these! Please, yes!
Do all of this, this is amazing.
Hope you get to do more!
Please do more of these Tales from the Dark Multiverse.
I read the Darkest Night issue after Sal mentioned it and it was great.
Tempus Fuginaut a watcher that do something that prevent shit happening to other multiverse
PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE
Sweet thanks guys! Hope to see more tales from the dark multiverse.
Definitely wanna see the others on here
There was a strangely large number of people who swore up and down Tales from the Dark Multiverse was absolutely nothing like What If back when these were coming out. That got a laugh out of me then, and it's still funny now.
Oh I really want more of these!
I kind of want more of these Dark Universe books.
Loved it. Hope to watch y’all talk about all of these!
23:00
Does he become robo cop
No he doesn’t become robo cop.
Uhhhhh but doesn’t he XD I love that sal kept
ending a secret
I am also commenting to prove to the algorithm that we want more Tales from the Dark Multiverse stories
I especially loved TALES OF THE DARK MULTIVERSE version of INFINITE CRISIS. Superboy Prime was my favorite part.
Ehh, i honestly wished that the evil character to come out of infinite crisis was superboy prime. But okay.
