8:29 “who wouldn’t wanna be Batman’s mom?” She’s gonna regret saying that next time she walks in a dark alley
LMAOOOOOO!!!
I'm dead 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💔
I see what you did there.
@@masteroogway3055 not as dead as Batman’s mom
Cursed comment
Hot take, Batman looks so much cooler and scarier with mouth covered up.
But the cops will shoot him if he does that in the comics
Like the Matthew Fox version.
I don't think most would disagree, but that's part of the point of the mouth hole. It let's the people of Gotham know he's human and not some Bat Demon. Combat wise if you can hit Batman in the mouth you deserve too.
@@cjdude46 helps with his ninja breathing
@@cjdude46 yes
as a kid My dad had a giant music mixing computer, a Mercedes with a hidden phone and track player. And he had a Michael Keaton Batman suit. He put it on display next to the computer in his office growing up and whenever he would go out of town on business he would hide the suit. And he had me convinced for years when that he was secretly Batman!😂 good on this guy! Doing his thing and being positive in his community!
Looool
A Mercedes with a "hidden track player"?? Do you mean like a 6 CD system in the trunk?😂
@@mikewebb7807I think he meant the phone was hidden, not the track player. A Mercedes in the 80s-90s with a phone would’ve been a huge flex lol.
My uncle used to live in NYC and convinced me that he was actually Spider-Man when I was like 4 years old
@@Squidgyy_ melhor tio. O nome dele não seria por acaso, Ben ?
The most amazing thing about this is that he manage to do a live action batman beyond suit that doesn't look ridiculous
I love how all the hate comments are basically just slandering him for not being a superhuman bat who glides off buildings and has millions of dollars worth of tech
Right! Based off a fictional character. Not the fact maby he might have a slight form of autisum himself while dealing with a broken marriage trying to raise his sons that need the help as well. But hate the dude who does something to keep him away from all tge dark shit this world acctually puts in our way.
bruce wayne was just a regular guy who experienced massive trauma at a young age just happened to be stupid rich too
@@deadshot4245 People always say Bruce is a regular guy, but he inherited a multi-billion dollar empire, had a Genius-level IQ naturally, and is a born athlete. He always would've been something or someone great even if he didn't become Batman. There's nothing average about him at all and there never was. Batman is inspirational, not relatable.
@@WarriorBoydon't forget he was also trained by The League of Assassins
@@WarriorBoy Yeah but they said that. He’s just a normal guy who happens to be stupidly rich. I woulda just said “well yes also a genius”. lol
The cool part is that he is really ripped
and he can design his own cool costumes
just imagine if he was like a black belt in taekwondo or muay thai or something
@@ridgefrost there are no belts in muay thai buddy
More muscular than ripped tbh
Too bad he can’t fight
It’s crazy how his bat suit looks more comic accurate, and more high quality than the movie iterations.
Nah it’s the Arkham knight suit with the Arkham origins mask, it’s not from a comic. It’s from a game lmfao
This guy is awesome. This man has the balls to do what all us nerd/athlete admixtures want to do. Be Batman
Until a psychopath crosses his way, thinking he is Batman, and shoots him. God forbids that would ever happen.
@@raulcitraro live by the sword you die by it.
@@thediaz07 Too many psychopaths. He has to be careful.
@@raulcitraroit's suburbs he should be fine for the most part 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@lj-jf2xt Hopefully, he will stick to the suburbs
the best part is that this guy actually seems like a genuinely good person
Lol what a joke 🤣 reminds me of Elizabeth and Theranos she is such a great person inspirational. Jumping to conclusions on social media is part of the reason we have a clown society
@@jarjarbinks4243 my guy people wanna hope and you are not helping because at the end of the day the fact that 90% of people like you have not hit the ground is because there is some form of peace in all this. That people dont just pull out a gun and put a bullet into next guys head is because we are civilised enough to not do that so stop with that fake joker shit there are far worse places to live than in your rural household at ohio
@@arkhealos7947 impressive u missed my point and assumed "joker shit" interesting assumption BTW ur wrong stop showing everyone ur butt 😉
@@jarjarbinks4243 did you just like your own comment? bruh
@@jarjarbinks4243 Shit comparison bro. Elizabeth was supposed to be a businesswoman, visionary, and an innovator, but instead turned out to be just all talk. This guy just tries to be a good dad and bring an overall uplifting mood about, and he does that perfectly, he accomplishes what he set out to do.
Wow! The suit practically looks better than the ones in the movies. He actually doesn't look stupid. Even during the day.
It’s modelled exactly from the Arkham Knight video game
better than Gotham that's for sure
@@recklessnewb9949 how can a show fuck up worse than a cosplayer
It's the Arkham Knight Suit with the Origins mask.
@@guy2090 Well to be fair the show had a very limited budget from WB for the suit as Batman would only appear at the end. The cosplayer can spend as however many thousands of dollars as he wants on the suit, so it makes sense it looks far better. It's also made easier by the fact that Gotham had to create an original design, while this suit was taken from the games.
Him walking around as batman is not what makes him heroic...it when he is looking After his two sons. That's what makes him a HERO!
I salute this guy for being what we all are embarrassed to do and live the life. “Obviously not to the comic book extent” but being a icon we can all relate to in some way in not letting our dreams die and being who we wanna be regardless of the backlash. 🥂 my friend
"You're not saving shit except for pictures..."
These idiots do realise he's not a real superhero, right? I mean, my man has two special needs kids, stops for photo's with complete strangers and entertains children. Look at the smiles from random peoples faces. There's more than one kind of hero and this guy is one of them.
the only idiots are people like you that dont realize doing cos play during a protest against unjust murder is a bad thing to do. also this guy is cutting himself to look like Wayne. I like this guy and I love batman but these are deep concerns. he's missing a few screws.
@@lowlowseesee The protestors seemed to be pretty happy with him, they were even cheering. Which means it's people like you who didn't even attend the protest that get butthurt behind the screen over a guy in a bat suit.
lowlowseesee, plus he was trying to stop the riots. If a normal guy were to say that people would be like, "ok lol" but as a symbol like Batman he is striking fear and stuff you know.
@@lowlowseesee something tells me your missing teeth
Why do you have to strip away the happiness in the only piece of Hope people have all because you want to point out the obvious what the hell is wrong with you this guy is doing this to boost up people's lives to make people feel like there is hope out there Batman is a symbol give me the symbol of bravery and he inspires children and adults to feel strong
This probably the definition of a symbol. The Batman has become a symbol for him. Maybe not the particular symbol like in the comic, but a symbol nonetheless that inspire and make eveyone happy and cheer up. With his background about him raising 2 sons and his wife had left him, he had risen up and become a Batman. That's inspiring. Not everybody can do that. Heck even myself still having issues of abandonment and aloneness.
A hero can be anybody. A hero can be the one who do a simple thing like put on a Batman costume just to make everyone smile and happy.
Hear hear! 🙌🏻
That's kinda what I came to conclude myself. As long as he doesn't actually think he's the kind of Batman that fights crime where he'd very likely die, it's cool.
Yeah. If the symbol was Attention Seeker.
@@chairmanwumao1768 The dude has 2 special needs kids, has never drank a beer, and never did drugs. Pretty sure he's the opposite of an attention seeker lol - he's probably a really shy, introverted guy who feels some sort of purpose when he wears the suit. You might not think it's normal, but your opinion means shit if what he does makes other people happy.
@@ivanooze1049 people pleasing goes hand in hand with attention seeking. "Look at me, I m such a great person."
If he just focuses on the kids then what's he doing dressed as a vigilante in the riots? Why he released his identity to the whole world if he is not attention seeking?
“Batman’s my favorite character of marvel” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
8:00 Thank God Batman's parents are still alive in our universe ❤
Seeing Batman on a swing with a kid is so wholesome
*Batman and Ace flashbacks*
@@XanthosAcanthus I was just thinking about that...
@@XanthosAcanthus same
Ikr
And hilarious
He's an admirable guy. Cooks breakfast for his kids in that suit just to make their day brighter.
That makes him a better Batman in some ways than..... Batman ('cause in the comics Bruce can't cook worth a sh**. He once served Tim an inedible tuna sandwich back in his early Robin days. Lol I dunno if that's changed or not, though)
Until a psychopath crosses his way, thinking he is Batman, and shoots him. God forbids that would ever happen.
It was only a matter of time honestly. This dude actually pulls it off EXTREMELY well. Like I actually buy him as Batman. He’s even got the walk down. The mouth covering is a great idea, looks mor intimidating. Also holy cow, he’s got one of the coolest collections I’ve ever seen!
The way this man lives and mentality is something i strive for i hope ill be just like this guy hes really cool
"Who wouldn't wanna be Batman's mom?" Clearly she's not familiar with Batman's origin story.
RIP lmao
My thoughts exactly 😂
If she IS Batman's mom, that means she's alive.
At least she isn’t Bruce Wayne’s mom
@@soundwavevr6164 well she was the joker
He's already a hero to me, he's walking around making somebody's day by just seeing him and agreeing for a picture.
you could say his wife leaving him probably caused him to get further into this
@@deadshot4245 What's more important is, that he is a good father
right about that 👍🏿
@@franz_. absolutely
Until a psychopath crosses his way, thinking he is Batman, and shoots him. God forbids that would ever happen.
Man I loved this short documentary, it was so wholesome and sad at the same time tbh, fuck it was overall perfect
I was always a huge nerd and a Batman lover, I’ve been working out since I was 16 to look like Batman, I’m 19 now and I’ve made decent progress, I’m just glad I’m not the only weirdo that goes though all the pain and hardship of working out just to look like a fictional character. This video made my fantasies come to reality
This Guy is SUCH a GOOD DUDE!!!!! I LOVE this guy. He's a Father just like and He UNDERSTANDS the Value of SPENDING TIME with Kids and being an Inspiration to His community. This man is A REAL HERO!!!!!!!!
3:12 A toy gun for his kid, which is a freaking Dominator from Psycho Pass.
Just got envious of his kid there, he has a Dominator and Batman as a dad.
I was looking for a comment that noticed this.
Batman be training robin be judge jury and executioner with that dominator 🥶 imagine if it was the bigger version of the dominator 💀💀
I want to know where he bout that.
i was looking for this comment ahahaha
No one is talking about how sick that guys joker design is
The Joker dude is DOPE with the hair, face paint, purple clothes and motorcycle!🔥🔥🔥
Thought that was Playboi Carti
Even the mouth piercings
His fkn cool , ' joker: where's my money ngga ,,, me : w wh what ? Joker : did stutter......me : batman help.... joker : so you a snitch huh ? 😂😂😂😂
It was crap
This was awesome 👏🏼!!! Mad respect 🫡 for this man. Batman is my favorite super hero n he is living the dream!!!
He is amazing!
Not only does he remind people to "stay good and nice" by just walking around them, he also "puts a smile on the face" of children (Joker pun intended).
I agree, he is a positive influence to the community and I hope he does that for a long time. I do love it that he does support also projects and involves others (like the Joker and awareness for cancer and asian hate).
In my eyes, he is a superhero. Yes, he doesn't "fight" crime in the comic way but he does fight. In his ways.
And even when he take away the reminder for being good and the projects he supports, he walks in front of kids who see him as Batman and put a smile on their faces.
That alone is enough to be amazed of him!
And with this, you see... everyone can be Batman. Be it just to make one kid smile
When that black guy says
"My favorite character in MARVEL"
My head went nuts😳😳😳🤔🤔😆😆😆
He spiderman was his favourite in marvel
I was cracking up at that what an idiot lol
He said Spider-Man is his favorite hero at Marvel.
@@furiousstylez8888 He said SPIDER-MAN
He said Spiderman is his favorite character of Marvel SMH
Im gladd the costume he took inspiration of are from the Arkham Knight Game... Awesome design ...
Isnt that arkham origins? :0
@@applehazeva2739 he used arkham origins helmet
@@the_wolt the Arkham origins outfit is 100 times better than the Arkham knight outfit
@@o-blocked6169 I like black version of it
@@o-blocked6169 the arkham knight suit looks more technological while the origins makes batman look more like a brute they are perfect from the different eras of Batman these games portray
I have no gripe with this man. He has been working since he was 10, and finally has the opportunity the enjoy the things he loves. Good on him.
This guy has so much dedication for the thing he loves, thats absolutly astonishing and inspiring. The Haters should take an example on him and find a own thing where they can show the same amount of dedication than he does as Batman.
You’ll never know what I said.
What about Phoenix Jones?
@@GangstaStan010 He was for a while, till his corruption was discovered.
@@cjdude46 Wait... Bro. What?! What did he do?
@@GangstaStan010 Turns out he was superheroing by night and drug dealing by day. Taking out the competition I suppose.
@@GangstaStan010 Here's a documentary about his career if you want to see his fall for yourself:
th-cam.com/video/F8CkDrhZw14/w-d-xo.html
He pays someone to scar him? That’s a bit worrying…
That’s what I was thinking
Does he not know criminals do those for free? I mean look at daredevil s1. Dude gets fucked up a lot
Thats sick man! I rather he be a bouncer looking for a fight.
Still probably in a healthier mental state than the actual Batman
No different than tattoos but I can see how it's weird. I'm just saying scars look cool it is what it is
This guy is a legend Batman is a huge character and helping the people there is so beautifull to see❤
Good work man. I love it.
He walking through the smoke was majestic
"I'd like to be shot" -Please don't say that man.
So wholesome, it's great.
The fact the guy is out there with the intention to help and not hurt is already a blessing. Most people live each day looking for something to exploit or take advantage of.
Dont listen to bashers or negative comments. I like what you do
The only thing weird about this is the scars he intentionally puts on his body, other than that what you're doing is really cool!!
he says id like to be shot....
He’s a sadist
@@Diamon.d you mean a masochist
Scarification is just a type of body modification it’s not weird when you look at how many cultures have done it over the years
@@peytoncrosby5892 just cause others do it doesn’t mean it’s not weird af. There’s probably a tribe of cannibals somewhere in the forest rn and that’s weird as fuck.
Love that this guy does this
This is a super dope costume! I'd love to see this iteration of batman on film. Loved Robert Pattinson's batman, costume very similar to this one.
2:45 batman is my favorite character of Marvel. Indeed he is.

2: not wearing any actual bullet proof gear

Also, go on Vice.
I understand you're pain I don't see my daughter everyday either, continue on being head strong you are awesome
best vid I've watched today
A hero can be anyone even those who do something as simple as putting on a costume for others.
I see what you did there
He inspires people and puts a smile on each person's face. I see nothing wrong with what he does. He is happy and he makes others happy.
man this is so cool! love this!
The embrace and commitment thos guy puts in
Just a normal dude who like to bring good energy
and he gets scars on his back intentionally
@@marcosegovia940 yeah that part is kinda crazy, but we're all free to express
not really normal, but yeah he’s got the good energy
@@marcosegovia940 He did say that batman has scars so
Of all the multiverse, they always have a Batman.
But in this universe, his origins is about to start.
The government is the joker. Lying and scheming against people. The goons are the extremist. Both leftist and right-wing.
I hope we aren’t one of the death metal Batman universes 🤭. That would really suck
@@santi_super_stunts2573 it’s okay I’m the duke Thomas of this universe
There actually are people who learn martial arts and fight crime. There was a guy in London who they called the British Batman and he kicked a guy who had a knife and was robbing another guy. They interviewed the victim who was happy Batman saved his life.
Dude wicked costume, love the way you cover your face makes Batman look even darker
Good for him he making a difference in his community while doing what he loves
I was batman once. Superman as well. Then I turned 12 and put my capes away. I still hear the calling.
Dude this is so sick I love the dedication, if i saw him i would think i traveled to gotham
2:43 Good to know its his favourite charector from Marvel and not DC 🤣🤣
It's great that we get to hear from Batdad and Batmom. Stay safe out there.
"Who wouldn't want to be Batman's mom"? Lmao
I was with him until he said he gets those scars on purpose.
well it makes him feel more like the damaged character while exercising, I don't agree with it but I get it.
there is a whole scene about this type of body modification. It's kind normal compared to dress up like a cartoon
I know right! He should earn those scars!
He doesn’t think he is actually Batman
@Cassette tech Well, he wants to be a heroic fictional character, so it is not bad
Love this guy, I literally wanna go to Philly just to meet him
You have awesome stuff !
8:28 “Who wouldn’t wanna be Batman’s mom?” Yeah who wouldn’t
"I don't do birthday parties" ...Good for you Batman
Joker on the other hand, does
he's living the life we always wanted!!
wow those last two lines were super good. i love these two versions of batman and the joker. would be cool to see a film with em
Thanks for making people smile and giving them positive vibes. Much respect man
i have mad respect for this man
Both these guys are amazing. They have my approval 👍🏻
Awesome very inspirational 🖤
Dude just casually showed off his Psycho-Pass Handgun like it was nothing
That's some Bucks County money right there. He probably lives in Newtown, Doylestown, or Yardley areas.
I didn't know Batman walked around at night, taking selfies with everyone lol Sounds more like something spiderman would do.

2:44 “Batman is my favourite character of Marvel.” 🤣
He said spiderman
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It always feels so good when you see people from other cultures adoring something from your culture like icon.
The suit looks great !! nice that the pectoral chest muscles dont look like triple ds !! Very cool placement of amour plating, great fitting cowl, Well done !!
So goddamn wholesome. I love it
When I seen him walk through the smoke I literally had tears in my eyes
That's really cool the suit looks real, maybe make it real bulletproof and functional and put armor on your legs too.
thats cost more money🤣
You know how much money that would cost?
@@Supl3xcity true ….but fuck it we ball
@@Kai2times wearing bullet resistant clothes doesn’t make you Superman. It will still be deadly and painful to be shot
@@xxxod Fuck it bro
Pain or trauma will make you want to help others not experience that same pain. Abused kids, kids that lost their parents, people who live crime filled areas, all tend to grow up with the most conviction and want to help others. That is what makes you a hero in your own mind, and that manifests physically through training your body and mind so you can go out and help those who can't help themselves all that well.
Also 07:45 was hilarious to hear out loud lol
09:42 is the answer to why someone would become a hero or villan to those around them. One bad day can make you crazy, and that crazy turns you into either a Batman or a Joker. Ultimately it's up to you to decide which you become. Be brave and laugh in the face of danger.
This is so wholesome actually, but also could talk about the lil kid at the way he look at him was so funny 😭7:57
Great way to be a positive influence and role model! Great job Bat-Dad 😎
Absolute hero, huge respect to this man
I wish him the best
In the end this guy puts a smile on peoples faces and that is what matters.
Batman to this guy..
IAM NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS!
The guy is literally living my dreams!
You’re a living legend 👍🏻
The Arkham Knight suit with the Arkham Origins cowl...it's a perfect! And the cover his mouth with a Beyond style...more than perfect :)
I wish there was a joker cosplayer appear whenever he appears and they just stare each other menacingly.
I mean...based on what I've seen, unless there is a more qualified/equipped individual who wants the title in real life...all he needs to do is save one person and he is Batman lol
Don’t think , don’t talk save one and than go from there, Batman’s advice to Flash.
And flash just runs and saves them like Batman said.
I’m paraphrasing of course.
7:54 the kid want no smoke🤣
7:24 Batman tells Robin to contain his powers and hes like "NO!!!"
