Lois Lane going to Gotham isn't weird if you know the character of Lois Lane. She literally chases the big news. What would be the current big news in this story? A bulletproof man who dresses up like a bat.
It’s funny cause this was the beginning idea for a Superman/Batman role reversal. In a way this story sets up Batman getting Superman’s powers not once, nor twice but three time and two of them are elseworld stories while one is part of the main DC universe
In Superman The Animated Series, Superman dressed up as Batman after finding out Bruce Wayne got mind controlled by Brainaic. During that time, he strengthened Batman's reputation by using his super strength and super speed that terrified the Gotham's rogue gallery.
This is one of my favorite comics of all time. The only Superman comics I love more are All Star Superman, and Red and Blue # 5 "You are special. I love you. I am proud of you" 🥲🥺❤🔥
This concept of Batman should've been a part of the DC Rebirth. I mean, they could've let him stay as Batman and Lois didn't complain about the fact that she was saved but it would've been beyond words of how great this version of Batman can be.
After hearing Rob describe Lois Lane as "she a tall drink of water, she's not that bad looking". I'm reminded of the end of Invincible "Son, Son, Son. You want to KNOW what happened to Atom Eve. I'LL tell you what happened to Atom Eve. She got THICC, YEAH SHE'S LOOKING GOOD." Rob my brother. Great choice.
4:07 that's Batman's character, most people don't realize it. Batman is heavily flawed but is a hero despite his flaws, that's what makes his story so compelling. Batman, at his core, is a child who feels guilty about his parents death. This is the same story as just showing that if Bruce had power's they'd corrupt him. One of the most famous lines,( absolute power, corrupts absolutely)This is just another story showing us that Bruce is too unstable to have power's. Doesn't really change the base characters in anyway, just further pushes that Bruce is mentally unstable. He is btw, if he assumes that killing Joker is equivalent to killing every rogue, then he's mentally insane. Batman is not a good person, and a Clark raised like him won't become a good person. Not very surprising, Bruce is an amazing father, but he is 100% a terrible person.
I would love to see a cross blend between the two. A Superman who has Batman's fears and insecurities but has all the power of Superman. But he still has that Superman kindness to him, the one that often gets overlooked by Batman's writers. Someone who's kind and warm but never able to really trust himself around people for fear of being hurt. Not broody but slow to commitment.
Rob, I actually thought this was a great story. Not traditional but the elements of the original story were still very much impactful and lead to the rise of a true and capable hero. And that’s what all superhero comics are and should be about. 9/10 hands down
I had heard of this story over the years... but never had the chance to read or HEAR it in full, a story of Bruce Wayne(Kal-El) becoming not just Batman, but Superman. I'm surprised we haven't seen ANYTHING of this particular Superman in a long time. I'd kinda want to see another comic of this Superman to see where he has been to.
I was watching the animated series like 20 seconds prior to this video dropping. Literally saw the scene of superman doing his precise muscle control thing and copying batmans voice AND robins
Off topic... BUT... CAN YOU PLEASE... make a video on when Black Widow gets her symbiote. It's literally my dream come true story. Perfection! Thank you, please sir!
So basically Batman is proven to make a better Superman he would literally take over n stop crime to a point he can predict it but you telling me Clark is a good but not just good a better Batman had to click this 😂😂😂
This little escapade in my opinion, does nothing to detract from the fact that the real.bruce actually got his hands on Lois despite not liking batman. And Clark couldn't do not nothing about it because it was her choice
This is such a great role reversal in so many ways. Kryptonian Batman is worse at being Batman but so much better at being a human than the main Bruce Wayne. Like, he's actually helping the city with his money, and he's actually a caring dude. But as a super hero he sucks. It's very interesting
Marvel and DC need to sit down, set aside their differences and revive the Amalgam universe. I'd love to see Nightclaw (Wolverine & Batman merged) again.
I'm not sure if you've already done this one before, but after seeing you do this story I kind of want to see you do In Darkest Knight where Bruce ends up being chosen by the green lantern ring instead of Hal Jordan. It has another villain mashup type deal like this story except it's Joe chill and Sinestro being fused together to create the Joker. I think I'm remembering that correctly...?
@@darkarrow3683 Yeah, that's the one!...character had the powers of both of them...AND the whole Justice League! Our brother Comics Explained here, does have a video about him, from 4 years ago.
@@reliableandrew Ik just been a while since I’ve heard talk about him but he was an interesting character with two of dc’s biggest heroes mixed together with the entire leagues powers
Is Batman as Superman one of the top 20 most powerful characters in all of DC. I mean, even with prep time, Batman can beat just about anyone. Makes me think that you should do a DC most powerful characters hierarchy… like you promised!!
I really enjoyed this story of Kal El becoming Batman, particularly taking into account the emotional baggage that comes with taking that role. Unfortunately, I really can't go into details of my issues with the story, and there are a few, without too many spoilers. Regardless of the ending, that emotional baggage is still there, even though he'll have Lois to keep it under control. The identity of The Joker is just weird, though. Yeah, I suppose it's inevitable - Superman's rogue's gallery is nowhere near as interesting as Batman's, and there's only one person who it could be - there ARE issues that I really can't discuss. Suffice it to say, he looks like Marvel's Kingpin with green hair, and that's ... just kind of crazy.
Cool idea but it just make me imagine his life if he woulda have landed in other cities. Like if he landed in atl and was raised by Gucci Mane parents he’d be some wiggah calling himself Supeemane
Mmm. So...is Super-Batman analogous to some of the X - men in Marvel then? Because some of them get their powers at moments of heightened emotion in their lives, right? Interesting. :)
'WHO ARE YOU??' ..
'I'M BATMAN' - SUPERMAN
"I'm the last son of Gotham"
"I'M SUPER-BATMAN!"
That final Superman suit goes kind of insane, I dig it
Batclark needs an Uncle Ben to learn about responsibility for his power
I think that would have been Lois.
@kali3665 yeah.. I shoulda let the video finish BEFORE I commented lol. Oh well. It worked out
This was one of my favorites back in the day. Glad to see the is being reviewed. I always wish they animated this.

I like the medieval version where Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are brothers and the superman's parents are royalty.
In Superman The Animated Series, Superman dressed up as Batman after finding out Bruce Wayne got mind controlled by Brainaic. During that time, he strengthened Batman's reputation by using his super strength and super speed that terrified the Gotham's rogue gallery.
He one shot Bane
@@StandUpPenguin No really?
@@allknighter5791yes he did but the most craziest part, that bane has the same strength as superman. When he start to flew more Venom on his veins.
@@iamlouis1495 Ok that makes much more sense lol. Ordinarily venom puts the user at Killer Croc level of strength.
Him messing with Tim Drake is probably my favorite bit in Bruce Timms Universe
Every time, Joker is saved in any story. People lives are lost.
Batman looks DOPE with that full mask and flying! Batman should get a jetpack and fly more cause it looks so awesome!!
Batman beyond…..
@@DarkDemur Omg, how could I have forgot! YES! good call haha...
I don't think he can afford one
This is one of my favorite comics of all time. The only Superman comics I love more are All Star Superman, and Red and Blue # 5 "You are special. I love you. I am proud of you" 🥲🥺❤🔥
Could you imagine if he had the power of plot armour on top of his regular set of powers? 😄
This concept of Batman should've been a part of the DC Rebirth. I mean, they could've let him stay as Batman and Lois didn't complain about the fact that she was saved but it would've been beyond words of how great this version of Batman can be.
Superman: Speeding Bullets was one of my favorite Elseworlds stories. I bought it shortly after it came out.
Of course she’s smitten by Bruce Wayne. He’s rich lol
Hypergamy.
It’s something about that cave- anybody that enters it wants to be Batman 🦇
*stumbles into cave*
“I’m Batman?”
…
“I’m Batman.”
Must be all the guano.

Rob my brother. Great choice.
Bane: I'm bane
[superbat]: l am
Crushing is chest by casually grabbing his pinky
Comics explained is the 🐐 🔥
Should have been Vicky Vale in stead of Louise
Yeah, the Lois Lane part felt forced. If she's there, it needs to make sense that she's there.
I like the new Superman suit myself
I would LOVE a deeper exploration of this character and this world.
i was lowkey expecting clark kent to show up as "superman" but its actually the original batman, had he had supermans up bringing minus the powers.
I love the Speeding bullets costume with the full mask
4:07 that's Batman's character, most people don't realize it. Batman is heavily flawed but is a hero despite his flaws, that's what makes his story so compelling. Batman, at his core, is a child who feels guilty about his parents death. This is the same story as just showing that if Bruce had power's they'd corrupt him.

I wish this could've continued as more then a one shot, Imagine super-Batman in the multiverse like whoah
I would love to see a cross blend between the two.

Someone who's kind and warm but never able to really trust himself around people for fear of being hurt. Not broody but slow to commitment.
I'm trying to introduce my friend to comics explained. He said, why is superbat😅 wearing a utility belt😅😅😅. I don't know what to tell him
“Why are you doing this?”
“Why not?”
That’s got to be the most joker thing I’ve ever heard.
1:42 For all seasons is another good Superman pseudo origin story
goon: who are you
clark as bruce: i m knight wing
This is pretty much Nature vs. Nurture: the Comic.
This is so awesome
18:31 “can you read my mind?….”🎶🎵
Superman becoming Batman is one of the darkest Elseworld stories ever. Second only to Superman: Red Son.
Just commenting to say I love your content and to thank you for the quality shit you consistently put out. Your hard work is recognized
Good video bro
Helicopter Umbrella: Penguin: Batman the Animated Series.
Guy's superpowers come from sunlight, so he fully covers his body and only goes out at night. I detect a flaw.
I have that issue some where around my bedroom. I'll have to look for it again!!.
This was one of the nuttiest, but greatest stories ever lol Also, incredible narrating on your part once again
Enjoyed your summary and your usual "hahahehe"
This prolly how most people in gotham probably see batman normally

Awesome story. Wish it had a part 2
The art looks very reminiscent of the early 90s.

Lois lane & most of traditional comics: “I know they were about to grape me, but don’t hit them so hard!”
You speak my mind. Exactly!
It's what was the problem with the "what if" style storylines they're not given time to breath
My absolute FAVORITE Elseworlds title
Will you cover the Jean-Paul Valley story or Witching Hour Wonder Woman?
Superman is the New Batman. But this Lex Luthor is closer to Norman Osborn / Green Goblin in this case.
Also That Batman Suit is Smooth.~
At least they could keep the same name for his Mom lol
Lois is WEAK for preventing Batz from offing Joker
10 minutes in and loving the story already.
This story is a great example of nature vs nurture
Hey Rob can you cover Batman: Off World? I think it’s up to issue 5 now
This was my favorite elseworld.
I'm not sure if you've already done this one before, but after seeing you do this story I kind of want to see you do In Darkest Knight where Bruce ends up being chosen by the green lantern ring instead of Hal Jordan.

Even when you’re superman be Batman.
The Lois Lane that for decades got fooled by a pair of glasses in the OG comic, figured this out just like that?
I had this comic when I was younger.
Brilliant story, loved reading this.
I love the McFarlane figure for this character.
Lois with red hair looks strange to me, I'm more used to her usual black hair. She honestly looks like Mary Jane.
Fact check: Can't be Kant; it's Einstein's quote.
Did they touch naughty bits Rob? Lol, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years bro!
Correct me if I'm wrong on this. Wasn't the helicopter on the back used by the penguin in the Adam West Batman series?
Composite Superman...that freaky supervillain is what this video made me think about! I know some of you remember...
The weird Superman/Batman amalgamated character right? Yeah that was something
@@darkarrow3683
Yeah, that's the one!...character had the powers of both of them...AND the whole Justice League!
Our brother Comics Explained here, does have a video about him, from 4 years ago.
@@reliableandrew Ik just been a while since I’ve heard talk about him but he was an interesting character with two of dc’s biggest heroes mixed together with the entire leagues powers
I don't suppose in this comic there is a nod to a vigilante in red and blue patrolling Metropolis?
If she didn't like the way Batman handled that she would have really freaked out if it was a policeman who just shot them dead
Can you do a video on the demon Etirgan??
Is Batman as Superman one of the top 20 most powerful characters in all of DC. I mean, even with prep time, Batman can beat just about anyone. Makes me think that you should do a DC most powerful characters hierarchy… like you promised!!
Hey rob could you cover some of the old superman//batman comics from the early 2000s
Mutli-Verse Batman Awesomeness

Me: where’s the music
Hey Rob can you make a video on Val-Zod? (Earth 2 Superman) (Video 15 of asking)
This felt like the stupidest fun story in the nicest way
Kinda always liked the full mask on this Bat Suit.
~_~
You gonna do Superman, Inc next?
You’re meant for the streets 😂
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?
DO MORE ELSEWORLD!!!
WHAT IF : Super Man and Bat Girl had a Baby ?
or
Super Man and Cat Girl had a Baby ?
I kinda love this.
What if Batman had the super solider serum
How much would if impact gotham as a whole
Why does he look like Uncle Fester? 😂
Cool idea but it just make me imagine his life if he woulda have landed in other cities. Like if he landed in atl and was raised by Gucci Mane parents he’d be some wiggah calling himself Supeemane
