A fun bit of trivia: the 'blue' Batman suit of the early iterations was usually meant to be seen as black (in the same way black hair in old comics often has blue streaks.) The old cartoon given as an example was made in an era where black and gray paint/ink was expensive and not practical for coloring in animation cels.
Yeah! This is actually the same reason that Spider-Man is now depicted as red and blue. Originally, he was supposed to be red and black but constant iterations from this effect just gradually turned him blue
The batman wearing different colors is like the shit speed runners do. It makes no sense to non-gamers/speedrunners but for _some unholy reason_ it makes the run faster than any other route.
"Batman, why are you wearing garish colors?" "I'm manipulating the crook's poorly programmed AI." ".....What?" "You see, the criminal mind is a cowardly and superstitious thing...."
Interesting fact about the target bit and shooting where the steel plate was. It's later referenced in a few movies/comics/games that the bat symbol on his chest is the strongest part of the armor on his suits. Why? Because people are more likely to shoot the symbol, thus ignoring the rest of the weak spots in his armor. A few people are aware of this, particularly Commissioner Gordan, which comes in useful when he is forced to shot the caped crusader off of a building. He shoots the bat-brained buffoon in his chest, right on the bat symbol, thus causing batman no harm, but tricks the villain into thinking he's killed batman.
@@JesseTwillaTUBA Yes it was in Arkham Knight. The Arkham Knight also talks about him knowing that about Batman's suit and he shoots Batman in a weaker spot of his armor point-blank.
That kind of bugs me still, like wouldn't a shot in the middle of you chest not kill you unarmored? I mean he would have to get good medical attention but like he should have top of the line n stuff? If I was a villain in no way I would assume Batman is dead from a shot in the middle of his chest.
I honestly thought the idea was gonna be that the criminals were gonna hide a gun in the camera or something, and when Batman went out in his stupid outfits, all the cameras would look at him except for the one pointing at who they were gonna kill, and that’s how they would know who the bad guys are. God that was so much worse lol
Actually, Mr. Huggbees, the entire reason batman wears that bright yellow sigil on his chest is for the same reason he claimed he wore a target. In the mass of black and grey and dark blue cloth that is the batsuit, the only two bright points are his face and his chest. The big fat symbol instinctively draws the eye due to the principle of contrast, and in draawing the eye, it draws the aim as well. This is also why his cape is so massive. Beyond making him look batlike when he glides, the giant swooshy cape breaks up his outline and makes it hard to find his body in the dark. And if you can't see anything to aim at in a dark mass but a bright yellow spot. then you're going to aim at it.
Unironically, this is why I'm so bad at shooting Mercy in Overwatch. While flying, her wings are spread out but don't have a hit box, and everything is outlined obnoxiously, so I end up shooting right behind her and getting butt frustrated.
That's actually... quite clever, and makes sense, he is a shady, hard to see figure most of the time, so by giving a clear spot on his body, people will be more likely to aim there, thus... making that spot specially armored/visible is actually not a bad strategy. I mean it won't be foolproof, some people might be aware of it and ignore it. But sure as heck I'd end up aiming at the one easy to see spot on my target, if I was in the imddle of the night and trying to stop him.

They took a whole set of those spinny stool chairs from the restaurant, and they were BOLTED DOWN. These guys literally, in plain view of sight, UNSCREWED THESE CHAIRS AND STOLE THEM.

I'm loving that more of the more obscure DC characters are getting live-action adaptations (Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey, Peacemaker, to a lesser extent Aquaman with Black Manta, etc.) because it really takes the dumbest-looking outfits and stupidest characters in theory (characters that when you take a step back you realize how dumb they look or how dumb they are; there's a lot that fit this and most of them were in the two Suicide Squad movies and Harley Quinn movie; I didn't watch the new Superman show, Doom Patrol, The Flash, Arrow, or Titans, I have seen the stand-alone Harley Quinn show, but knowing there's a character called Robot Man, I kind of get that that's the same kind of stupidity-in-hindsight) and they're making these action-packed drama-adventures out of them while making you root for these costumed cooks. It's like going back not even 10 years and telling a gamer that Steve from Minecraft, Banjo Kazooie, Sans from Undertale, and Sora are going to be in a Super Smash Bros game together, except with D-list DC characters, it's that level of absurdity and I love it. I had zero fucking clue who any of these characters were before these movies and shows and I love them. If you told some comic book nerd 10 years ago that he'd be crying over Polka-Dot Man, they would laugh at you.
This is one of the reasons I loved the recent Harley Quinn show. They had plenty of weird, obscure characters just coexisting with normal people and it was the best thing ever.
I love that they were able to make Aquaman and Black Manta look cool without changing their looks too much. I’ve had a soft spot for Aquaman since I saw Superfriends on Boomerang.
Probably been mentioned, but in the Arkham games they say that the armour is stronger near Batman’s symbol, because people shoot at the symbol more. So he really does wear a target with armour underneath it on his chest all the time.
I mean, I still appreciate Spiro Agnew jokes and I was born in 1985. It's not really special or necessary to remember 8... 12... holy fucking cow 14 years ago. Okay maybe that is worth mentioning.
It's supposed to be shining on the side of a skyscraper if it's not cloudy. My guess is it's so fucking smoggy that they're shining it in the sky anyway
13:24 I mean, that's the very reason many iterations have the Batsymbol on his chest such a contrasting color to the rest of the suit. It makes for an easier and larger target than his head, and that part of his suit requires the least flexibility so it gets the heaviest armor built in. It literally is a target for thugs to aim for, just much more subtle than a literal target. Same goes for Punisher's bright, white skull. It's painted onto a ballistic vest so they won't be as likely to aim for the head...
there's been multiple times in batman media that says the bat icon on his chest is a bulleye and its where his armor is strongest so yes he basically always does that
Batman Nipple-Suit Time. Oooh but what mysteries will I learn of. Edit: "Because the people of gotham have never seen the color blue before" As usual I am incredibly happy, as much as Id love a rainbow Batman that meant something, i think this will now be my go to of stupidest outfits.
Okay, Batman Zur-En-Arrh is a lot more cooler, because he's basically Bruce Wayne alt persona but even more unhinged. Like, actually close to killing unhinged. Edit: Did a little bit more research on Zur-En-Arrh, and I was basically right about the stuff I said before, but there's even more cool stuff about him. He's basically a backup personality for Batman if he was ever badly psychologically damaged, so he can keep on going and Bat-Mite (Yes, the 5th dimensional trickster imp), is a kind of imaginary figure made by Batman's last rational thoughts to stop him from doing things like killing (Bat-Mite isn't real in this Batman comic run, I think, but I could be wrong.)

I want to mention that Brave and the Bold also made fun of the movie costumes by pointing out the bat nipples (the costume forms on Batman and they shoot out before going back down on the costume) and how hard they were for him to turn his neck in as struggles to move when he's put in one.
The bullseye thing isn't that weird considering many modern stories have made it clear that the BAT LOGO on the chest of the Batsuit is intended to draw enemy fire as the chest portion is heavily armored! So yeah, while the Bullseye Batsuit is silly, the concept has actually been incorporated into the lore of the Batsuit that the bat logo serves the same purpose as the Bullseye on the Bullseye Batsuit!
You forgot Zebra Batman's Lego figure. It's worth a couple thousand bucks cause it was a Comic Con exclusive. There are several great/goofy Lego Batman figures though; Money Suit, Wizard, Fairy Princess, Mermaid, Glam Metal....the list goes on
Fun fact that pretty much everyone that keeps up with Batman comics knows, Zur-En-Arrh was remade to be an alternate personality created by Batman himself in case he was attacked mentally. Pretty sure the last appearance he made as the alien has been in Brave and the Bold.
“Joker is putting joker semen in the water supply and two face is chewing on a battery long enough to make himself into 3face” How do you come up with this nonsense?! It’s amazing!
The target chest costume is redundant because the bat symbol on the chest is meant to serve the same purpose (as it's the most armored part of the suit).
And here I thought the reason for the different-colored suits was going to be that, if they ever got their hands on footage from the stolen camera somehow, they could easily date/place it based on what color Batman was wearing and thus place the thieves as well. Silly me.
I have a poster on my wall that has a bunch of old Batman comic covers on it, and the rainbow Batman cover has always been my favorite for some reason, others include Batman with Santa, Robins first appearance, Batman #1, and Batman and Robin being imprisoned by giant robots
16:30 I used to work at an art museum that actually did that a couple of times when I worked there, in addition to having a collection of bronze age Mediterranean coins. And yeah, it was pretentiously weird
I actually liked the "Azbat" suit, it showed how Azrael wanted to be better, with a heavier more intimidating (with the claws and all) suit. It was good to see Bruce come back in his traditional costume and fight Azrael with the contrasts between them. To me, it shows the insecurity of Az how he wants more protection than the normal batsuit, also he was probably scared seeing what Bane did to Bruce. I might be looking to hard into this but in some parts he looked cool as fuck
About Batman wearing a bullseye on his chest, he sort of does that on a regular basis with the Bat logo. And it's the exact reason you think: to direct fire to his chest.
I think Batman was just jealous that Robin would get more attention than him with his broken arm so he dressed up to keep him out of the spotlight Batman's a narcissist

One was based on the Animated Series and it was like, Sky Diver Batman or something, and the other was based on the Batman & Robin film and there was a pair of Batman and Robin in like orange "heat" suits. For as many weird suits have been in the comics, the toys have like ten times more lmao
The bullseye is actually just a more extreme version of what he already does. His bat symbol is more armored than anything else on his suit, because people will automatically aim for the most prominent target on a person.
*I look at my Pop vinyl collection and shed a tear as I exhale at Hugg's admittedly funny jokes bashing Pop vinyls.* "I regret nothing." I say, still in denial.
whats funny is the reasoning for the bullseye suit (wanting them to aim at his armored chest) is the same reason they usually give as to why he has a bat symbol on his chest.
Batman’s plan with the colorful suits is basically that meme where there’s an image with a red circle and arrow pointing at nothing, and then you don’t notice Goku in the corner of the image because of it.
All Star Batman: Where Batman and Black Canary bone while a group of thugs burn to death in a gasoline fire. Nothing gets him harder then the screams of the dying and the smell of melting flesh.
goes in the weird comic sex Hall of Fame, next to the post-apocalyptic sex scene in Watchmen and the one with Magneto's weird kids as Marvel's favorite incestuous couple.
Maybe it's because I did just come from the All-Star Batman video, but it's actually ridiculously endearing to imagine Batman walking around in broad daylight wearing a gaudily colored and themed suit. He's having fun.
I'm gonna defend that Brave & the Bold "plothole", the Rainbow Monster fired the green ray at Robin which hit him on the yellow part of his suit. Since the cape was covering the sleeves, the attack couldn't be deflected
@@Rad-Dude63andathird The colors are all vertical, not horizontal. So no matter what ray hits Batman he's fine, unlike if the rainbow was horizontal or if his costume pieces were color-blocked

Thanks friend. I've had this backlog of weird shit for too long. It's time I finally discussed it

It reminds me of those things that used to exist.. yknow, websites? They were great. You could have a website with a variety of different content, and you never knew what was getting covered next, or in what way. It was fantastic but it didn't make anyone enough money so they're gone now.

Are you a time traveler from the 90’s?
@@mileshill7196 what does that imply?
@@84everfan90 that your stuck in the 90s and cant grow out of it or are from the 90s and time travel here and are unable to realize that azbats batsuit is pure over the top over designed edgy 90's trash that doesnt age well at all and has no substance to it ..and was actually made to parodyand satire over the top and edgy superheris/redigns manycharacters faced in this era of comics at the time in the 90s that people who genuianlly liked the suit have no idea that it was intentionaly desinged to be dumb make fun of and mock the over the top edgeyness of the 90s all style over substance...
hell just about every charatcer in the 90s had a imageification of superheros/comicbooks image being the 3rd big comic company that poped up in the 90s that was notrious at the time for being over the top edgy shit like youngblood and any thing rob liefield made in the 90s outside of cable and deadpool which was 90s but was given greater characterisation and depth after rob left and others took over the charatcer..when rob made deadpool he was jsut a 90's deathstroke rip off but then jerry dugon came in and gave deadpool the uniqe personalty and characterisation he has today so he survived this era due to better writers and creators fixing him and cable later....
and then the imageifcation of comics in the 90' then infested both marvel and dc causeing them to make " radical" updates to "old timey characters" and the azbats suit was made by the creator team at the time to parody how dumb the over the top edgyness trend of the 90s that was souless and was about style over substance and the azbat suit was made to satire the medium at the time and evenutally changed back to the orignal batman as the azbats suit ran out of style and never really appeared again much and was scene as one of batmans most embarassingly bad peirods in batman history and wasnt long lasting or timeless like the og batman based charatcer/design is because it wasnt made to be timeless it was made to satire the state of the comicbook medium at the time and the more we move a way from the 90s the more irrelevent and purposefully dated azbats gets as its so over designed and is literally trying to hard to be edgy to satire the style over subatance approch of the 90s...azbats is a relic of the dark times of the 90's period in comics and ususally 90s kids didnt realise that azbats was surpost to be satire and took it seriously and unironicly liked it and cant except its garbage and dus are stuck in the 90s and cant accept that its poorly made and aged edgy 90s trash... made to satire poorly made and aged edgy 90s trash

I'm loving that more of the more obscure DC characters are getting live-action adaptations (Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey, Peacemaker, to a lesser extent Aquaman with Black Manta, etc.) because it really takes the dumbest-looking outfits and stupidest characters in theory (characters that when you take a step back you realize how dumb they look or how dumb they are; there's a lot that fit this and most of them were in the two Suicide Squad movies and Harley Quinn movie; I didn't watch the new Superman show, Doom Patrol, The Flash, Arrow, or Titans, I have seen the stand-alone Harley Quinn show, but knowing there's a character called Robot Man, I kind of get that that's the same kind of stupidity-in-hindsight) and they're making these action-packed drama-adventures out of them while making you root for these costumed cooks. It's like going back not even 10 years and telling a gamer that Steve from Minecraft, Banjo Kazooie, Sans from Undertale, and Sora are going to be in a Super Smash Bros game together, except with D-list DC characters, it's that level of absurdity and I love it. I had zero fucking clue who any of these characters were before these movies and shows and I love them. If you told some comic book nerd 10 years ago that he'd be crying over Polka-Dot Man, they would laugh at you.
This is one of the reasons I loved the recent Harley Quinn show. They had plenty of weird, obscure characters just coexisting with normal people and it was the best thing ever.
I love that they were able to make Aquaman and Black Manta look cool without changing their looks too much. I’ve had a soft spot for Aquaman since I saw Superfriends on Boomerang.
Highly recommend Doom Patrol, very fun. I've also enjoyed Arrow, and The Flash.
Finally, someone's finally talking about my poor fashion sense
Probably been mentioned, but in the Arkham games they say that the armour is stronger near Batman’s symbol, because people shoot at the symbol more.
So he really does wear a target with armour underneath it on his chest all the time.
So basically the brave and the bold batmans explanation for the rainbow suit is pokemon type counter picking
The Azrael Batsuit is fine bc it's supposed to ellicit that reaction of "what in the name of God am I looking at, that's not Batman"
"Hold the fucking Bat-Phone"
Best possible line for this video. 😂
"A doctor, played by Dick Cheney". As a man who remembers the Dubya years, I appreciate this joke.
I mean, I still appreciate Spiro Agnew jokes and I was born in 1985. It's not really special or necessary to remember 8... 12... holy fucking cow 14 years ago. Okay maybe that is worth mentioning.
Bullseye Batman killed me. I'm deceased. I've been dying of laughter for the past 10 minutes and this has been the best 10 minutes of my life
The silver age was fucking wild.
9:25 How the hell is the Bat-signal shining in the middle of the day?
It's supposed to be shining on the side of a skyscraper if it's not cloudy. My guess is it's so fucking smoggy that they're shining it in the sky anyway
13:24 I mean, that's the very reason many iterations have the Batsymbol on his chest such a contrasting color to the rest of the suit. It makes for an easier and larger target than his head, and that part of his suit requires the least flexibility so it gets the heaviest armor built in. It literally is a target for thugs to aim for, just much more subtle than a literal target.
Same goes for Punisher's bright, white skull. It's painted onto a ballistic vest so they won't be as likely to aim for the head...
Playing a dangerous game with the different color Batman joke, I like it
there's been multiple times in batman media that says the bat icon on his chest is a bulleye and its where his armor is strongest so yes he basically always does that
Huh I just thought it was just because Batman put his logo on everything
A small plot point in Arkham Knight, too
I was already aware of Rainbow Batman.
I was not aware just how ridiculous the story is.
Batman Nipple-Suit Time. Oooh but what mysteries will I learn of.
Edit: "Because the people of gotham have never seen the color blue before"
As usual I am incredibly happy, as much as Id love a rainbow Batman that meant something, i think this will now be my go to of stupidest outfits.
Okay, Batman Zur-En-Arrh is a lot more cooler, because he's basically Bruce Wayne alt persona but even more unhinged. Like, actually close to killing unhinged.
Edit: Did a little bit more research on Zur-En-Arrh, and I was basically right about the stuff I said before, but there's even more cool stuff about him. He's basically a backup personality for Batman if he was ever badly psychologically damaged, so he can keep on going and Bat-Mite (Yes, the 5th dimensional trickster imp), is a kind of imaginary figure made by Batman's last rational thoughts to stop him from doing things like killing (Bat-Mite isn't real in this Batman comic run, I think, but I could be wrong.)

I would forfeit How It’s Actually Made to see a series of you reading the stupidest 20th century comic plots we can find.
3:11 I actually do own a few funko pops, and I bought them when I was a teenager desperate with depression. You’re absolutely right.
Honestly the “One handed driving controls” is probably just an automatic transmission.
Would love for this to become a recurring series, with Huggbees breaking down some of the worst silver age stories from his favorite heroes.
That panel with snowflame at about 1:10 was foreshadowing none of us expected
"I should cover all-star Batman" yep, I think I know what's up to BAT next!
If you pop Rainbow Batman, it spawns two Zebra Batmans.
I'd pay to see 1,000,000 dollars. That's a lot of cash.
That's the kinda money you expect to see on half of the things you can't afford in GTA Online.
And that’s $1,000,000 in 1957.

I want to mention that Brave and the Bold also made fun of the movie costumes by pointing out the bat nipples (the costume forms on Batman and they shoot out before going back down on the costume) and how hard they were for him to turn his neck in as struggles to move when he's put in one.
I just imagine the "Red batman, my immersion is shaken" just goes on for several minutes after Hellbat but is cut for viewing lol
9:58 if Vizziepop wrote Huggbees.
First thing I thought of when heard that bit lmao
The bullseye thing isn't that weird considering many modern stories have made it clear that the BAT LOGO on the chest of the Batsuit is intended to draw enemy fire as the chest portion is heavily armored! So yeah, while the Bullseye Batsuit is silly, the concept has actually been incorporated into the lore of the Batsuit that the bat logo serves the same purpose as the Bullseye on the Bullseye Batsuit!
If I found a crap ton of Funko Pop I would melt them to recycle and reproduce plastic mold.
Reproduce 🤔🤨
You forgot Zebra Batman's Lego figure. It's worth a couple thousand bucks cause it was a Comic Con exclusive. There are several great/goofy Lego Batman figures though; Money Suit, Wizard, Fairy Princess, Mermaid, Glam Metal....the list goes on
I would be genuinely interested in a Michael Bay Version of Rainbow/Target batman.
With or without megan fox?
Fun fact that pretty much everyone that keeps up with Batman comics knows, Zur-En-Arrh was remade to be an alternate personality created by Batman himself in case he was attacked mentally. Pretty sure the last appearance he made as the alien has been in Brave and the Bold.
13:26 isn't that also why the punisher wears that skull on his shirt?
I like the foreshadowing to snowflame a year prior at 1:00
“Joker is putting joker semen in the water supply and two face is chewing on a battery long enough to make himself into 3face”
How do you come up with this nonsense?!
It’s amazing!
See, this is why I just stick with Scarecrow. Every girl's crazy 'bout a burlap dressed man.
At least his outfits are consistent. Relatively, anyway.
The target chest costume is redundant because the bat symbol on the chest is meant to serve the same purpose (as it's the most armored part of the suit).
he was sneaking in snowflame(the cocaine powered supervillain) for years and we didnt even know it
And here I thought the reason for the different-colored suits was going to be that, if they ever got their hands on footage from the stolen camera somehow, they could easily date/place it based on what color Batman was wearing and thus place the thieves as well. Silly me.
This is the type of content that inspired Manga...just want you to realize that.
Have you seen the Joker manga. Because they made one, and it’s art.
I have a poster on my wall that has a bunch of old Batman comic covers on it, and the rainbow Batman cover has always been my favorite for some reason, others include Batman with Santa, Robins first appearance, Batman #1, and Batman and Robin being imprisoned by giant robots
You're telling me that the RAINBOW Creature was being used for evil by Firefly AND NOT CRAZY QUILT??
16:10 I'm the Old Norm, I want normal Batman.
Shame on you huggbees for the Clickbait
Batman was not wearing a hotdog in any point in the video. I am disappointed
16:30 I used to work at an art museum that actually did that a couple of times when I worked there, in addition to having a collection of bronze age Mediterranean coins.
And yeah, it was pretentiously weird
I actually liked the "Azbat" suit, it showed how Azrael wanted to be better, with a heavier more intimidating (with the claws and all) suit. It was good to see Bruce come back in his traditional costume and fight Azrael with the contrasts between them. To me, it shows the insecurity of Az how he wants more protection than the normal batsuit, also he was probably scared seeing what Bane did to Bruce. I might be looking to hard into this but in some parts he looked cool as fuck
"Meanwhile, AT the mobsters hideout!", that was totally from the Super Best Friends XD I love your references
I love how even the mobsters back in the 50’s though they rainbow suit was gay.
Am I the only one wondering how they flashed the Batsignal during the day?

It's because it's always dark and gloomy in Gotham, even if its a nice day

@@llewelynshingler2173 This is true :D
"The confusion of setting our equipment up" damn, they lost track of the camera during the set up of the camera.
About Batman wearing a bullseye on his chest, he sort of does that on a regular basis with the Bat logo.
And it's the exact reason you think: to direct fire to his chest.
I think Batman was just jealous that Robin would get more attention than him with his broken arm so he dressed up to keep him out of the spotlight
Batman's a narcissist

One was based on the Animated Series and it was like, Sky Diver Batman or something, and the other was based on the Batman & Robin film and there was a pair of Batman and Robin in like orange "heat" suits.

@@metaforth "ahh yes my favorite Batman comic from 40+ years ago, I can finally buy a pophead" said no boomer ever
The bullseye is actually just a more extreme version of what he already does. His bat symbol is more armored than anything else on his suit, because people will automatically aim for the most prominent target on a person.
That money show may as well be called the "Come and Get It Exhibition".
TH-cam autoplay made the transition from the newest Batman video to this that I didn't realize I was watching a different video
*I look at my Pop vinyl collection and shed a tear as I exhale at Hugg's admittedly funny jokes bashing Pop vinyls.*
"I regret nothing." I say, still in denial.
My favorite silver age story is where batman proves in court that Bruce Wayne is not Batman by wearing Supermans pants
whats funny is the reasoning for the bullseye suit (wanting them to aim at his armored chest) is the same reason they usually give as to why he has a bat symbol on his chest.
Batman’s plan with the colorful suits is basically that meme where there’s an image with a red circle and arrow pointing at nothing, and then you don’t notice Goku in the corner of the image because of it.
I thought for SURE the reason behind the colors was gonna somehow connect to the stolen camera being a "futuristic" color camera
"Asbat, more like ASSSSbat!" Made me think of AVGN, you channeled him
4:00 I only saw him in the show, I thought he was just mildly obsessed with batman so dressed like him and fought crime
Watching and listening to Huggbees rant about the weird and bizarre comics from back in the day is a delight and I hope to see more of it.
All Star Batman: Where Batman and Black Canary bone while a group of thugs burn to death in a gasoline fire. Nothing gets him harder then the screams of the dying and the smell of melting flesh.
Thanks, I hate it!
goes in the weird comic sex Hall of Fame, next to the post-apocalyptic sex scene in Watchmen and the one with Magneto's weird kids as Marvel's favorite incestuous couple.
But can we talk about Spider Mew instead? What would a Spider Mew do?
Maybe it's because I did just come from the All-Star Batman video, but it's actually ridiculously endearing to imagine Batman walking around in broad daylight wearing a gaudily colored and themed suit. He's having fun.
I'm gonna defend that Brave & the Bold "plothole", the Rainbow Monster fired the green ray at Robin which hit him on the yellow part of his suit. Since the cape was covering the sleeves, the attack couldn't be deflected
Hardly explains why the rainbow suit works regardless of what color hits what though. Just iffy writing all over.
@@Rad-Dude63andathird The colors are all vertical, not horizontal. So no matter what ray hits Batman he's fine, unlike if the rainbow was horizontal or if his costume pieces were color-blocked
@@ncisfan1002 Ah okay I see what you're getting at, the cape's a separate piece whereas the suit is multiple colors yeah, but is one big piece of clothing. That does make more sense to me.
The target made me laugh so hard. Just the fucking boldness to wear a target to a shooting range is so unbelievable.
