      And then what? Kill Two-Face? Croc? Ivy? What about drug dealers? And muggers? Why not pick pocketers? In fact, why not kill all corrupt politicians? They certainly have more deaths on their backs than any supercriminals. And what about all those generals with stars on their shoulders? Or the president?

    • @arturodejesuscruzcasab9502
      @arturodejesuscruzcasab9502 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      And what would happen if Batman unknowingly killed an inocent (there are many ways to make a killing vigilante do so)? Or an undercover cop? Would that be justifiable through any means?
      You have to remember, Batman is not there to replace the forces of order rather than aiding them, he can't name himself judge, jury and executioner.

    • @seanimusprime9849
      @seanimusprime9849 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Arturo Casab I clearly never said he "should" of killed him....I said it must have been hard especially after all the adventure they've had over the years that he probably thinks back to that night where he could of ended it all but he couldn't because of its the right thing to let him live. And by the way you cannot compare Two face, Penguin, and random thugs to someone like the Joker. So sparing the joker must be even harder than sparing anyone else because of all the horrible things he has done....

      David Ayer and Jared Leto keep saying in interviews things that throw back to these comics and Batman v Superman we saw Jason Todd's old Robin suit so it wouldn't be too surprising if they either turn some of these stories into live action or at least heavily mention them in the movie canons.

      As far as I read, there were 2 psycho pirates, one died before the Crisis in Infinite Earths but the second one was the one that helped the antimonitor (more like was obligated) to destroy the multiverse. After they defeated the Antimonitor and there was only one universe he was the only one who could remember the multiverse until Infinite Crisis where Black Adam killed him. He can manipulate feelings in people and make them happy or scared or nervous as much as he wants to when he puts his mask. Hope it helps

    • @captaincomic8678

      He was a criminal from Earth-2 who found a group of artifacts called the Medusa Masks, which gave the wearer the ability to project emotions onto others. He fused the masks into one mask and used its powers to fight the Justice Society. During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Monitor recruited him to help defeat the Anti-Monitor, but the Anti-Monitor promised him his own Earth in exchange for helping him, so the Pirate joined him, manipulating Barry Allen and Earths 4, S, and X, but the strain of doing so seemingly removed his powers. As one of the few heroes and villains with full memories of the Crisis, he went insane and was committed to an asylum. He was later seen in Arkham Asylum, using his powers to bring back characters who were killed in the Crisis as he had realized he was a comic book character, before Animal Man intervened, causing the Pirate to happily fade away. After that he randomly came back to life, got his powers enhanced by Neron, then teamed up with Alexander Luthor Jr. during the Infinite Crisis, trying to control Power Girl's mind before being killed by Black Adam shoving his fingers through his eyes.

    dear comicstorian. I posted a comment like 6 months back. I mentioned how your video quality went down since you guys blew up and that you use to do ridiculous voices even for serious stories like this and I was scared to watch it your videos outside while I smoked....."cigrattes". can I say as a loyal fan for.....let's call it a year I'm extremely grateful that a channel as big as yours actually reads the comments. you guys saw what I had to say but not only that you actually changed how you read the story. you guys!!!! they actually give a fuck about the fans you guys!!!! keep up the good work and don't stop producing good content!!

    No, Batman, you didn't create the monster, The Joker just tripped over his own cape and fell into the chemicals, so he created himself

  • @Bluesit32
    @Bluesit32 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The Joker voice needed work, but the sequence where you narrate Bruce dosing himself is just chilling. I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't mention how Batman was thinking things like, "Alfred...all his fault...I'll kill him..." That's what pieced it together for Bruce. Despite the smile and laughter, the toxin was filling him with an overwhelming hate and need for violence.
    Also didn't mention how this story tells of the first time he used the Batmobile.
