@@Anti-HyperLink what’s crazy for me. I stopped reading in like 98 and only started back up in 2018 so getting back into everything was sooooo confusing. I had no idea what was what. Everything changed so much. Last time I read Superman was blue hahaha. So I made a channel trying to get back into comics. It’s been fun but confusing.
I liked towards the end when Bruce makes it back to the cave, he gets a little bit of post traumatic stress when Alfred turns on the lights and the Talon suit literally scares Bruce. Alfred is one of the few people who’ve seen Bruce at his lowest, I wish they could translate the Court of Owls story to live action
I remember reading this for the first time, I was 14 at the time and this was my first real introduction into comics it FUCKING blew my mind. For years I would just read my cousins old back issues but this is the first comic that drew me in and made me follow it as it was released, and after this I've followed the DC universe ever since. I'll never forget or regret that.
KJ Norlander that's a tough one. Dr.Doom is like the evil batman of Marvel. From his Body armor that is the equivalent to batmans belt but better. to his planing to deal with problems solving skills. I think if we just send him to mars we would win.
Rob I love you, but there were a couple of things I think you missed; -Unlike last time where you mistook the photos of people aging on the wall, you skipped it. Which sucks, because it is awesome. -His parents don't become bats, they become owls. I would assume this is to show how much the idea of the owls killing his parents torments him. -Skipped the creepy child telling the talon to kill Bruce, so much creepin'. Other than that, I really like your idea of re-kicking the N52 off in order to make an easy to follow Rebirth playlist.
Rob I can say I've watched your videos for a few years now, longer than I've actually been physically reading comics. I've been sober for a month and have been high off of my local comic book store instead. I have started with DC rebirth Flash & Secret Empire and I don't think I'm going to backtrack so I appreciate you doing The New 52 plus pre Secret Wars!
When i was a kid I spent about a year growing up in the Nassau area in Texas. I would occupy myself by riding my bicycle around to various areas and - often - riding the elevators in large office buildings. It wasn't long until I discovered that, at that time at least, that nearly all buildings had a secret 13th floor where they would typically store their construction tools, certain teams would be staged there (security, facilities, etc). It's really fun to see that fact called out in the video.
Dude! You are probably the hardest working content producer I follow, love your work! Thanks for going through all of this trouble to organize everything. =D
If this is considered classic DC then absolutely...keep on giving it to us. I'd love to see you cover the new 52 as a giant story, hit the main plot lines and titles
i love this arc!!! im soo glad your doing this. i literally come to your channel to find ANY comic info im looking for. Thank you sooo soooo much rob (im new to comics and im starting my collection for about a year amd a half now)
The first time that I heard the story of the Court of Owls was on the Gotham TV show; I must admit that I find the topic very intriguing. Batman is my personal favorite DC character.
you know, I've always wondered about Earth 3 owlman. I can never get any more info than he is a alternate version of Batman. my question is do you think that, in earth 3, he chose to join the court, maybe became the boss, and took up the name owlman since Talon is the title for more of a hitman/subordinate sort of guy?
I mainly watch all the Marvel vids, but I like Batman and Injustice too. I think the balance on your channel between DC, Marvel and indiecomics is very good.
Robb, loved hulk and red lantern ring episode, u should make more "what if " type episodees!. also, take a look at my Hulk statue i made from clay pls (on Spare time G). I will appreciate it!
just got done watching some of your old videos, at the time I thought they where good but compared to how you do them now, it's crazy how much you've improved proud to be part of the Rob Core
The Court of Owls has pervaded Batman related media throughout the 2010s, and now it is getting a mainline video game appearance from rocksteady studios. The famous creators of the Batman Arkham series are doing their take on The Court of Owls, in wake of Operation: Knightfall at the end of Arkham Knight. I am reminded of the League of Assassins when I hear about the Court of Owls, mostly because I first heard of them in the animated film Son of Batman. While Damien does appear in the original story, that film did NOTHING to cover how pervasive, unnatural, and sadistic this rival assassin clan really is. In real life, I went to a university where owls are the symbol of knowledge, fellowship and tenacity... but my loyalty concerning night creatures in Gotham has always been with the bat.
The Court of Owls is getting so good in the series Gotham. Even though it all feels rushed to get Bruce to be Batman or at least a version of him. I saw the Court of Owls animated movie first. Would have been better to read the comics first :P
Definitely one of my favorite stories from the New 52. My other favorite characters from the New 52 were Animal Man and Swamp Thing, their stories were amazing! Even though getting a lot of good acclaim, it wasn't enough to dig new 52 out of the hole, lol Hope you're able to cover those stories one day!
Potassium chlorate, not chloride. A quote from a government website says it is "A white crystalline solid. Forms a very flammable mixture with combustible materials.

Dude! Your channel is so good. Keep doing your thing. The love you have for the comics you cover is obvious in how excited you sound sharing the stories with us. Love it. :)
You forget that superman is actually super smart. He's smarter than batman and lex luthor but is only hindered by wanting to always stay as a symbol of hope. Superman has out tricked a 5th Dimensional Imp... who has literally god powers as well as an understanding of higher dimensions of which we cannot even comprehend. He's much more than just raw strength.
Lol book smart and ingenuity smart are two different things. Plus tbh Superman is dumb let’s be real, if he wasn’t then he wouldn’t have to do half these comic book storylines at all
The Kill Bill quote was actually stating the opposite of this. It was saying that Bruce (a normal man) is pretending to be Batman, while Superman is pretending to be Clark (a normal man)
Growing up and realizing that one of the most captivating Batman stories or best stories of all time I got when I was in 8th grade from Greg Snyder when he visited my middle school literally went and reread it as soon as I pulled it out of a storage bin dude this story is great
So Rob, I have a question for you. Do you think that these New52 stories were designed from the beginning to lead in to Rebirth as part of a grand plan, or do you think that the Rebirth storylines take advantage of all of the different pieces throughout the DC comics in order to try and get their market share back from Marvel?
I always thought Court of Owls was the modern take of the Ra's Al Ghul and the league of Assassins Like you had "immortal" enemies Enemies that have deduced Batman's secret identity A world changing plan
Ohhh shit. Rob's about too hit 1million subs. I'm sure he'll hit that mark before the week's out. So I'll give him a congrats now, before then. Keep giving us that fire 🔥, and thanks for everything. I finally love comic books again.
Batman: The Court of Owls in my opinion, is brilliant storytelling. Of course it demonstrates Batman's effectiveness in physical "altercations" with villains' and crooks... but also how great a detective Batman is. This book really gets into his thinking process and sponge-like memory and how he can easily and logically connect dots. His multi-disciplined approach to fighting crime is on full display in this book! Snyder, Capullo, Glapion and team... are truly gifted artists and knocked it out of the park!
Look Rob, people will complain about the sun shinning .. the way I caught up with your videos is I watched what I didn't watch already... yeah it's pretty rough finding what I want to share with other people on facebook... (groups) but hey it is what it is..
Oh my GOD, Rob. I've been working to catch up on the backlog of your videos for the better part of a year now, and I've FINALLY caught up! Now to just keep up to date.
The Court of Owls is what got me into comics. Probably my favorite Batman story of all time.
Also worth noting Owls are the natural predator of Bats
noobslayer135 Very true, they are the natural predators of bats
Me too. First comic I actually really read. Loved it so much
And there's Earth 3 Owlman and Talon. What's that about?
@@Anti-HyperLink what’s crazy for me. I stopped reading in like 98 and only started back up in 2018 so getting back into everything was sooooo confusing. I had no idea what was what.

One of the natural predators. Snakes are also included .
I liked towards the end when Bruce makes it back to the cave, he gets a little bit of post traumatic stress when Alfred turns on the lights and the Talon suit literally scares Bruce. Alfred is one of the few people who’ve seen Bruce at his lowest, I wish they could translate the Court of Owls story to live action
They just might my friend.
@@Fr3sHbOi1000 They have..probably.
@@lextalonis839 Gotham season 3 loosely adapts The Night of Owls storyline. Emphasis on loosely.
New battinson movie hints at some court of owls reference
Hey bro, hope you’ve seen the new The Batman trailer, I think they are going to adapt the court of owls storyline for this film series.
This story was so BOMB!!! I mean DOOOOOOOPE! Easily one of Batman's best!
Lok sucks
@@mistergibzzz1948 said nobody ever. To even have that type of opinion, you probably haven't even read it.
DAT PART... THE FOREAL "DAT PART THOUGH 👀👀👀👀👀😏
Amon is amazing btw I love him so much he's an amazing character
Testing the waters on some classic DC stuff to see how people respond. Don't forget to check the updated schedule in the description.
so since nightwing ancestor was a assassin Dnt that lay the ground work for him
ComicsExplained Hey Rob love your work, can you please do history of Fantomex, you the man!
ComicsExplained you are awesome Rob!!!
ComicsExplained Please do how to unalive doctor manhattan
ComicsExplained unalive doomsday
The Court of Owls storyline was amazing. It's sad that the animated movie, Batman vs Robin took a crap on it.
I remember reading this for the first time, I was 14 at the time and this was my first real introduction into comics it FUCKING blew my mind. For years I would just read my cousins old back issues but this is the first comic that drew me in and made me follow it as it was released, and after this I've followed the DC universe ever since. I'll never forget or regret that.
Im still sitting here like... THAT BUTTON CLIFFHANGER OMG.... Please help me rob..
The court of the owls it was an absolutely amazing arch.
Pretty much nothing in Gotham City can run away from the owls eyes.
This story is freaking amazing, but man does it give me chills. I feel like bow I'm being watched by someone
When you dont care what stories are being told you just enjoy everything lmao thats me
How to UN-ALIVE Doctor Doom
KJ Norlander I've been wanting a How to "Un-alive" Dr. Doom for weeks
You can't.
KJ Norlander *how to UNALIVE
Same really wanna see if we could pull this off lol and what he would do to stop us. I fixed to un alive
KJ Norlander that's a tough one. Dr.Doom is like the evil batman of Marvel. From his Body armor that is the equivalent to batmans belt but better. to his planing to deal with problems solving skills.
I think if we just send him to mars we would win.
I want a rob corp T-shirt with "Best thing coming out of DC rebirth" on it.
Rob I love you, but there were a couple of things I think you missed;

The Court of Owls have yet to make an appearance in any of the Arkham games. It'd be cool to see them in the next Arkham prequel.
Jacob Collver Arkham Knight was the last game. I don't believe there are any plans to new ones any time soon.
Jacob dude you were right a year before rumors surfaced. so cool

This is my favourite batman story and it was one of the first batman story's I've read I've read it like 8 times
The first time that I heard the story of the Court of Owls was on the Gotham TV show; I must admit that I find the topic very intriguing. Batman is my personal favorite DC character.
Man this was great, I have not been able to keep up with all the new stories. I would like it if you continue with this
you know, I've always wondered about Earth 3 owlman. I can never get any more info than he is a alternate version of Batman. my question is do you think that, in earth 3, he chose to join the court, maybe became the boss, and took up the name owlman since Talon is the title for more of a hitman/subordinate sort of guy?
One of the greatest Batman stories ever
Batman definitely doesn't always stay sane. That's why he had Zur-En-Arrh in place.
Man, love the court of owls. please keep on discussing it.
The Button videos were awesome as hell. The 2 Batmen fighting together was poetry.
congrats on finally reaching that million mark Rob!!
I mainly watch all the Marvel vids, but I like Batman and Injustice too. I think the balance on your channel between DC, Marvel and indiecomics is very good.
Can you do an explanation how powerful was the lorax?
He's more powerful then Franklin Richards. Maybe even as powerful as Kirby.
Robb, loved hulk and red lantern ring episode, u should make more "what if " type episodees!.
also, take a look at my Hulk statue i made from clay pls (on Spare time G). I will appreciate it!
Agree
i love hulk!
Spare time G YES a series of those kinds of videos would be awesome
just got done watching some of your old videos, at the time I thought they where good but compared to how you do them now, it's crazy how much you've improved proud to be part of the Rob Core
It's always nice going in the backyard and watching your videos in the cold.
i dare to say that The Court of Owls,is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth right now!
The Court of Owls has pervaded Batman related media throughout the 2010s, and now it is getting a mainline video game appearance from rocksteady studios. The famous creators of the Batman Arkham series are doing their take on The Court of Owls, in wake of Operation: Knightfall at the end of Arkham Knight.

In real life, I went to a university where owls are the symbol of knowledge, fellowship and tenacity... but my loyalty concerning night creatures in Gotham has always been with the bat.
I really enjoy your new format with you putting out a set schedule of uploads
Rob here is something to think about why doesn't scarecrow have a yellow lantern ring even bat man had one at a point in time
I always start smiling whenever Rob said "The best thing".
Ress dude, Batman is the best thing in ANAD marvel
Keep it coming @ComicsExplained your hardwork is appreciated
Rob Corps we bout to hit 1 million! So glad I discovered this channel, keep it up Rob!
There's no way you're going to keep to the schedule
Rob you can't go wrong doing stories about the Batman.......LOVED it.....
you made this story cooler than it should have been. very nicely done, sir.
Your subtle music was freaking me out XD
This is my favorite Batman story, and it’s the story that got me into Batman.
Love this story! One of my first dc comic books I've read. Thank you for making this!
love the new schedule rob, much appreciated big man
The Court of Owls is getting so good in the series Gotham. Even though it all feels rushed to get Bruce to be Batman or at least a version of him. I saw the Court of Owls animated movie first. Would have been better to read the comics first :P
20:48, THAT SONG ROB! nice choice man! xD
I'm more of a Marvel guy myself but god fucking damn this story is great.
Thanks for the vid. my fav batman run. keep doing these rob.
One of the best Batman stories I ever read.
More Court of Owls! More Batman! More Comics Explained!
i kind of knew you were not gonna tell these stories in the best way i wanted you to
Definitely one of my favorite stories from the New 52. My other favorite characters from the New 52 were Animal Man and Swamp Thing, their stories were amazing!
Even though getting a lot of good acclaim, it wasn't enough to dig new 52 out of the hole, lol
Hope you're able to cover those stories one day!
The animal and swamp thing run was incredible and honestly my favorite thing to come out of new 52.
this was so AMAAZZZZINNNGGG!!!!
Congrats on 1 million subs!
Rob Corps, you should make a Wiki page for the Rob Corps!
Rob for classic marvel could you do maximum carnage or the dark Phoenix saga? Thank you for the great videos:
I've never been like actually excited to see a channel hit a million before

The new Batman video game is going to bring a lot of people to this channel.
I loved this story arc. I have the Court of Owls mask. I wore it when I took my nephews Halloweening.
Dude! Your channel is so good. Keep doing your thing. The love you have for the comics you cover is obvious in how excited you sound sharing the stories with us. Love it. :)
awesome schedule. you've got me back into comics, thank you.
You forget that superman is actually super smart. He's smarter than batman and lex luthor but is only hindered by wanting to always stay as a symbol of hope.

the story starts at 3:09
The court of owls is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth Rob, love this story and the video!
Love the New 52 stuff and listening to your videos! Keep them coming!
I like this new scheduling of your videos.
I'm late but congrats on hitting 1,000,000 subscribers!
First video that didnt have a Rob cliffhanger lol
Great great work Rob, thank u.
I love that loose artwork. This and Nightwing were the best of New 52. Such good reads.
The Kill Bill quote was actually stating the opposite of this. It was saying that Bruce (a normal man) is pretending to be Batman, while Superman is pretending to be Clark (a normal man)
You forgot the line so it's true you practice brooding it was hilarious
Finally doing a video on the first comic I ever read, I'll never look back
I remeber reading this for the first time. It was great to see Batman out of his mind.
great video Rob! I see the court of owl appear on Gotham Tv Show so it's cool that you covered a bit of them! thanks!
Wow Rob you did it! One Million Subs! May 17, 2017!!! You're the man!!!!
Nice Video rob i really like this story i think its a great concept,of batman not knowing every thing in gotham, anyway i love the new schedule.👍
I agree, Court of Owls is one if not the best Batman story of all time. I rarely buy single issues, only trades. This one was an exception.
Growing up and realizing that one of the most captivating Batman stories or best stories of all time I got when I was in 8th grade from Greg Snyder when he visited my middle school literally went and reread it as soon as I pulled it out of a storage bin dude this story is great
So Rob, I have a question for you. Do you think that these New52 stories were designed from the beginning to lead in to Rebirth as part of a grand plan, or do you think that the Rebirth storylines take advantage of all of the different pieces throughout the DC comics in order to try and get their market share back from Marvel?
Good job covering the story I loved the story, although idk about your new schedule
more of the 52 series ! batman and Geoff John's Aquaman for sure. They were probably the best parts of the 52
Nice job! I like the switch up
I always thought Court of Owls was the modern take of the Ra's Al Ghul and the league of Assassins
Like you had "immortal" enemies
Enemies that have deduced Batman's secret identity
A world changing plan
Ohhh shit. Rob's about too hit 1million subs. I'm sure he'll hit that mark before the week's out. So I'll give him a congrats now, before then. Keep giving us that fire 🔥, and thanks for everything. I finally love comic books again.
please do the one where bruce wayne was never born so the his parents adopted superman and he grew up to be batman
a gathering of owls is called a parliament
Awesome awesome awesome! I love this Batman story. It is one of my favorites.
Batman: The Court of Owls in my opinion, is brilliant storytelling. Of course it demonstrates Batman's effectiveness in physical "altercations" with villains' and crooks... but also how great a detective Batman is.

I have been waiting so long for this! thank you so much, rob!!!
Rob CORP RULES!!
holy shit!! first!!!
I choose to view 11:49 as a flashback to when Rob used to pirate comics. Thus, his origin. Now only doing good as ComicExplained.
Oh my GOD, Rob. I've been working to catch up on the backlog of your videos for the better part of a year now, and I've FINALLY caught up! Now to just keep up to date.
