I love the format for a history lesson on different comics. Very chill and informative. I legit never knew that Batman was almost canceled permanently.
Theres a lot of characters like this in fiction. Where they were almost cancelled, changed, scrapped, accidental, etc.. Its amazing what can be conjured up in the flash of a thought or split second decision.
I dig these indepth looks on the industry just as much as I like hours long rundowns of series or characters. A lot of people forget what these characters were like when they started and how, by both planning and chance, they still survive to this day.
I don't think I've ever been glued to one of your other stories like I was to this. These "history of" type stories are super interesting. More of these, please.
@2:01 Batman does not "glorify" violence. It is a means to an end, nothing more than another tool in the tool box or in his case, belt. The Batman character personifies what COULD happen to us all when the Law cannot defend us or fails entirely. Criminals do not follow the law, destroy 1 in a public and brutal fashion and 1000 will never violate the law.
I honestly like this video more than the normal comic reading videos, not that i dont like those too but my interest in comics has always been huge and learning things about beloved and even other characters is always a joy for me. Appreciate the work y'all put into this.
Hey, old Robs voice is back. Cool, cool. This is how you narrated videos when you 1st started also when I was severely addicted to heroin and was in a constant state of withdrawal and...not. awful terrible time, and these videos were one of the few things I remember providing me with any semblance of sanity. That being said, I love the new robs voice, where your enthusiastic about what your reading, garralous and the love for what you do shines through.
Do a most powerful DC characters hierarchy please. We all know Batman with prep time could beat the Presence somehow… but the rest of the list should be amazing.
I love these little history-of-a-character and/or history of the industry videos with Rob. Is this information out there? Yes. But do you have a huge platform and tons of people who probably have never heard of this minutiae before? Absolutely.
I love it when you do bios of superheroes and comics and culture. It feels educational instead of sensational and for old old nerds like me. It just makes my favorite past past time so much richer. Thanks.
I really enjoy your regular videos, but these deep dives into the history of a character and the influences from the real world that helped shaped those characters into how they are portrayed today is a nice change of pace
If you are a fan of Neal Adams he actually founded an entire comic book company called Continuity Comics that ran for ten years from 1984 to 1994. My favorite character from that line of comics was Armor. He would go on to join a team of heroes composed of himself, his brother Silver Streak, and a precursor to Luther Strode called Megalith. I was pulled away from Marvel and DC for a while mostly reading Continuity Comics.
Man, lemme tell ya somethin...this was great! It reminds me of your older videos on the channel from a few years back with the calm tone of your voice but im always expecting hype rob to make an appearance 😂
This was probably the best video I've seen you put together. You broke down the history of the Batman and how we almost lost the Batman exquisitely. I'm actually going to Subscribe to your patron, keep this type of good work up.
Books, comic books, music, video games, anime, there are tons of things that corrupt children. The only things that can prevent this corruption are government intervention, lazy parenting, and social media.
Dude this historical stuff is awesome. I've never been into comics, I find the way they tell stories to be....annoying....but I love reading novels based on pivotal storylines, and the history of how these characters developed, as told in this video, are fascinating. The way huge moments in comics affected the industry and the wider environment (Death of Superman, introduction of the X-Men, stuff like that) is always interesting....more please 😁
In addition to Batman’s behind-the-scenes history in this video, The Adventures of Superman radio did feature Batman and Robin on occasion. Batman had the 1943 serial movie, in addition to the comic books, never had a radio show. 539
I'd be all over his comics if he started going Punisher mode. Its never fit the tone and setting of Batman for him to refuse to kill a sex trafficker or mass murdering psycho like Joker.
Batman is awesome and so are his bat-mobiles. I have over 110 die-cast models of different model batmobiles, plane/wing, bike, helicopter, tank, boat, even a rail car, I've even multiples of some models in different scales, 1:64, 1:43, 1:24, 1:18. I think the animated series batmobile is the nicest, although the 89, tumbler and arkham knight ones are awesome too. Ive a few different lights that shine the bat signal and a desk lamp of the 89 plane, I have it mounted on top of a shelving unit shining up the way, so it looks like that iconic scene of the moon shot. I've batarangs, light up symbols, why have I all this and more? cause he's BATMAN!!!

I love these deep dives into the comic industry with a focus on specific comic lines.
Try to look up the senator from Tennesee and you will see how deep the dive is.
Not very deep, is the answer.
Yea this is my kind of content
Me too. Rob definitely knows his stuff .
Theres a lot of characters like this in fiction. Where they were almost cancelled, changed, scrapped, accidental, etc.. Its amazing what can be conjured up in the flash of a thought or split second decision.
We need more content about comic history more
@@yaqinmalul6467i agree. So much treasure in there
@@Enzo575 yeah bro👍

Definitely one of your best vids, Rob. Thanks for this. This was amazing.
Very nice Rob, I love when you go into a character’s real life history like this!
agreed i love these videos
All of a sudden he goes back to his old school story telling style…..this is what I miss!!!!
I love how it's documentary like. Your voice is really fitting for something like this
Really liked the chill, historical retelling style of this vid, man.
Plus that background beat is a banger.
I’m really liking this different style of video showing the history!!
I honestly like this video more than the normal comic reading videos, not that i dont like those too but my interest in comics has always been huge and learning things about beloved and even other characters is always a joy for me. Appreciate the work y'all put into this.
He's my favorite superhero ever. Batman is just the epitome of Bad Arse.
Ass. Only clowns say arse my g
Preach
This was awesome. More of these please.
That was incredible Rob. Loved hearing about that and had no idea batman was close to being cancelled. The video i didn't know i needed. Thank you.
I love all you videos but my favorite is when you explain the history of something.
Agreed!

Really dig this style of video.
Bro you have the BEST voice for this type of comic book content. I thought I got enough the stories.
He had prep time to make sure his comics would be published.
Do a most powerful DC characters hierarchy please. We all know Batman with prep time could beat the Presence somehow… but the rest of the list should be amazing.
i loved this video man, it was like a callback to your videos from when you first started doing this. good work.
This was a fantastic video essay. Thanks, Rob!
Rob! We need more videos like this! Please make them!
Holy crap Rob! That was amazing! I loved this video. I hope to see one on the X-Men one day. 😉
Loving this video format. Well done
Well said, Tom King's run on Batman is perhaps my favorite deconstruction of an icon in any medium
I love these little history-of-a-character and/or history of the industry videos with Rob. Is this information out there? Yes. But do you have a huge platform and tons of people who probably have never heard of this minutiae before? Absolutely.
I love this new style of video, this is so informative and entertaining and your voice just makes it more captivating
I love it when you do bios of superheroes and comics and culture. It feels educational instead of sensational and for old old nerds like me. It just makes my favorite past past time so much richer. Thanks.
Rob these types of videos rock.
Would love to see your take an explanation on a deeper dive of the CBA. You are comics explained after all.
THIIIS VIDEEEO WAS SO GOOODDD...the story, the visuals, the actual tv show reference ...loved it
I really enjoy your regular videos, but these deep dives into the history of a character and the influences from the real world that helped shaped those characters into how they are portrayed today is a nice change of pace

Please continue with videos like this Rob! This video was a great idea!
This video was fantastic rob, you should really do more of these history of comics videos
I love these more polished video essays of yours, Rob. They feel super refined and well focused.
Man let me tell you something Rob! Without out a doubt one of the best deep dives on Batman.
I like the new mini-doc format, man. Nice job!
Rob, this video style is awesome. Would really like to see more stuff like this
I love this video format plz make more content like this🙏🏼
more vids like THIS is needed by rob i love it when he dives into a character and it’s history like this
It’s crazy to think Batman at one point was losing popularity, he’s so popular now he can carry a universe by himself
Excellent video. The vibe was great and the information was well delivered. Thanks Rob
I love hearing about the history behind comics. Hearing about why writers decide to do reboots is so cool to me.
Thats was a good listen, please do more.
Solid editorial, thank you Rob! Overdramatic at times but hey its your show:)
I actually like this style of videos. Good job!
Rob, this is a great format. Look forward to more of this style of videos.
Man, lemme tell ya somethin...this was great! It reminds me of your older videos on the channel from a few years back with the calm tone of your voice but im always expecting hype rob to make an appearance 😂
Rob got that OG comic explained vibe going love it brother 🙌
I think this may actually be from that Era
This is one of my favorite videos of yours, well done!
Very cool video. Love the chill historical lesson. A perfect companion to your review videos. You are fantastic narrator in both formats. Cheers!
Long time listener I love this video essay style of video the slowed down tempo really suits your sultry voice
I rarely comment on videos, but please Rob, make more videos like this one. I enamored by this.
That was a very interesting video. I love it! Hope you get to do more of these Rob
This was probably the best video I've seen you put together. You broke down the history of the Batman and how we almost lost the Batman exquisitely. I'm actually going to Subscribe to your patron, keep this type of good work up.
Rob this was a beautifully craft video. Thank you for the history, nostalgia and breakdown of this beloved character, keep it up brother.
This type of video that goes through a character’s history is definitely a fun change of pace from following current storylines.
Excellent video as always Rob.
Great video rob. amazing dive into the history of DC and batman.
Books, comic books, music, video games, anime, there are tons of things that corrupt children. The only things that can prevent this corruption are government intervention, lazy parenting, and social media.
Really enjoy this type of content. Keep it coming!
An excellent documentary - lots of detail and a strong narrative thread. Very impressive. Well done. I learned stuff!
This format is excellent. More like this! :D
Please, more chill history lessons. This is what I've been wanting for a while now.
I thought I wouldn't like this but it turned out to be an excellent video. One of the best
Yay, love video essays and you add Rob's voice ? Hell yeah
Nice Rob! I love this style of video. It goes well with your catalog videos.
Need more videos like this ! Great job Rob!
Man I miss this documentary style of your videos. I really like your history of the dc universe videos and other like those.
I love that this video has the tone of his older ones. I miss those.
Great vid as always Rob. He's not a hero, he's silent gardian, a watchful prtector. The Darkknight,

extremely informative yet concise! more of these Rob!
This type of video is awesome. Thanks Rob!
Taking it back to the old school days of CE... and I am here for it! 🔥
This is so back to the roots for you. I like it.
More Rob-umentaries plz this was great helping my mom comic friends understand a bit of comic history
This was a pleasant surprise. Very well done.
If it wasn't The seduction of the innocent, Batman would've been like the Punisher or the Thomas Wayne version...
Damn, this format of video and the topic is 🔥 keep at it Rob
love this new style of vids from u
I love these types of videos….the history is intriguing and interesting
These videos are cool for someone like me who got into comics a few years ago and love them but know nothing of the older comics
Nice Friday evening history lesson. I was totally clueless about this... Loved it !👑
I'd be all over his comics if he started going Punisher mode. Its never fit the tone and setting of Batman for him to refuse to kill a sex trafficker or mass murdering psycho like Joker.
This was really good 👍 I like the format you created of it all.
