Dude, Batman is grimacing because his secret Batcave on the moon got trashed by their problem and repairs are going to cost 10 billion. I'd be pissed too.
I'm glad you did these videos. I adore Superman and have been frustrated as all hell with DC in how he's been portrayed in comics and the cinematic universe lately. So naturally, I haven't been following what they do as often. These videos and the existence of Johnathan Kent may have just convinced me to start reading my favorite my favorite super hero's comics again.
+Sergalt What he's angry about, is Superman stealing his idea of getting his son into the family buisness, and having a sidekick. You know. Batman's thing.
As a big pre 52 superman fan these stories make me smile cause you really get the feel of him being the old superman but much more matured and as a dad which jist is all great and i cant wait to see his boy get older
gino peñaflor Lana Lang and Lois Lane both have super powers. Lois is pretty much a female Superman and Lana is the female version of Red Superman. Lex is a "good" guy and considers himself a Superman too. There is also a pure human Clark Kent i.e. no powers at all.
technically they are both, remeber, the new 52 is basically post crises with 10 years stolen from it, resulting in a bent out of shape world lacking in the elements of what made the post crises earth
God I just loved every issue of this arc. some may say that they kind of pro longed this fight with the eradicator but I just enjoyed every panel of it even with the little things like introducing bibbo back to the picture.Honestly, Supersons is the series I am most looking forward to reading cause I would just love the dynamics a joyful farm kid like jonathan teaming up with a battlehardend individual like damian(Out of curiousity, I am assuming they are both the same age am I right, I mean I know damian is 13 now, but jonathan I kind of forgot)
I have to give credit where credit is due you did an awesome job it was like i was actually reading the comic myself with out actually reading it. I'm glad DC is doing it this way cause i missed the humbled Superman
As I recall, the original Eradicator was not feeding on the regenerating Kal-El. It did use the genetic material in much the same way Henshaw did, but it was acting to preserve Krytonian culture, just as it was programmed to do so by Kal's ancestor. The Eradicator of that time was able to access the tech The Cleric had set up when he was trying to turn Earth into a New Krypton (FoS of the time.) (Was it The Cleric that programmed it?) The Eradicator became a dark hero version of Superman. "You're a bad guy," BwaZAP, was his M.O. When the Cyborg struck him down, he rushed back to the Fortress to be reconstituted and fried the place to get back in shape to get back to the fight. I do recall 1 scene during Reign where Eradicator had some kind of low-level gangster, or something, and decided to let them live out of respect, or something. It only happened once, that I can recall, so I'm hazy on the details. Seemed, at the time, to be out of respect for the real Kal-El's beliefs. I think Lois was involved. Yeah, look of horror, and such.
You keep focusing on how Lois is different from her 40's iteration. About how she's resourceful and gutsy. I think you missed the point when she rummages around the Batcave and finds the Hellbat Suit. It isn't about Lois Lane's resourcefulness. Eradicator messed with Jon, so now Mama Bear is going to bite and claw with all her might to protect her cub. It's really about Lois being a mother and how fierce mothers can be.
I love this story it's so awesome and badass i am also happy that they are basically retconing the stupid erradicator from the horrible return to krypton story arc out the window which makes me super happy in my opinion because that story was awful
It is a good thing Kryptonians age slower than humans. Superman is going to need ten lifetimes to pay the repair bill on that Moon Batcave. He may need more than that given that he has a reporter's salary.
By the way, Rebirth Supergirl is much more grounded but her past is mostly the same as pre-crisis, with the story focusing on how she is assimilating into a primitive world. With the popularity of the show Cat Grant is back in and the Danvers are both established DEO agents, assigned to Kara as handlers. there is not too much promise in the story other than the current arc's villian, who is Cyborg Superman, possessing the body of Kara's body, and he's currently inhabiting a pre-destroyed 52 Fortress.
Quick summary in case new viewers are confused Pre-crisis Superman: supposedly living his life as normal Post-crisis Superman: trying his best to be the hero he’s always been in a world he doesn’t quite understand New 52 Superman: dead Eradicator: destroyed Superboy: learning to be a hero despite the challenges that might stem from it
I listen to your videos esp at night to help me fall asleep cuz it's hard for me. so thank you. love your channel btw it's my favorite out of everyone else
Hey that bartender bib is also from the old reign of supermen. The first comic I ever read was the first superboy after superman died and bib had a side story in it where he saved a dog from drowning. This homage means alot to me cuz it was my first comic growing up
I didn't know about this story but love it. The interactions between Superman and his are just amazing. That and bringing mom in? Just wonderful! I know DC has a habit of ruining good things but right now this is just great.
Absolutely love it you were right about it being one of the best superman story's but I would love to see it become a animated film I think it would be great.
"Batman's just grimacing because...he's Batman; that's just what he does." Truer words have never been spoken. However many universes are ever created or destroyed, that is one constant in all of them you can always depend on... ~_~
Batman's probably thinking about how much money Superman owes him.
He can't pay it all on a reporter salary ...
He pays him, him and Jon go to the moon to repaired the batcave,
according to the comic, close to 10 billion dollars. I kid you not.
+Yami Marik “Melvin” Ishtar on a "farmers" salary
+Yami Marik “Melvin” Ishtar I know I was just referencing his current job
Batman isn't grimacing because he's Batman, he's grimacing because their with the Eradicator just cost him 10 billion and a bitching Moon Batcave.
Oh snap!
He's mad because superman is actually smarter then batman at the moment
No, he doesn't care about the cave at all. He's grimacing because Lois took the Hellbat Suit home with her and won't give it back.
I must've missed that
it's a joke,she didn't
in the last pages batman is thinking "you owe me a new batcave"
Dude, Batman is grimacing because his secret Batcave on the moon got trashed by their problem and repairs are going to cost 10 billion. I'd be pissed too.
lol, but His Batman
Lmaooo
HES BATMAN
someone said it
not only that, he's got another Kryptonian's ass to kick if he steps outta line
Cover the epilogue too please! This is a sweet story.
help
Good
Nice
Yes, cover issue 7. I read that with the biggest smile on my face, it was *perfect*.
agreed
more of any of his videos is a good thing
how to do that bold letters in comments?
*this way* ->* on both sides asterisk
*like this?*
I'm glad you did these videos. I adore Superman and have been frustrated as all hell with DC in how he's been portrayed in comics and the cinematic universe lately. So naturally, I haven't been following what they do as often. These videos and the existence of Johnathan Kent may have just convinced me to start reading my favorite my favorite super hero's comics again.
Go for it, it's worth it
Totally stopping by my local comic shop after a grocery run today xD
Update: Made it through the 7 issues of Superman and the first issue of Trinity. I'm happy. Lol
My favorite thing about Superman is back, his heart and wisdom is what I always admired. Superman fan for life.
Jonathan: why do you look angry batman
Batman:.....BECAUSE IM BAATMAAN *Christian Bale voice*
then wonder woman smacks him and the laugh track plays
I think he's more angry about his super secret moon base being wrecked :P
+Sergalt I still can't get over that
+Sergalt What he's angry about, is Superman stealing his idea of getting his son into the family buisness, and having a sidekick. You know. Batman's thing.
HISHE voice
This storyline is amazing. Erradicator is pretty cool. This is the best coming out of Superman DC rebirth.
As a big pre 52 superman fan these stories make me smile cause you really get the feel of him being the old superman but much more matured and as a dad which jist is all great and i cant wait to see his boy get older
DC Rebirth Action Comics and Superman are fucking amazing. I was so damn hype and engaged reading each issue. Crushes everything from New 52.
are there any changes like characters or earths to this rebirth issue besides the continuity of pre 52 superman? im a little confused..
gino peñaflor Lana Lang and Lois Lane both have super powers. Lois is pretty much a female Superman and Lana is the female version of Red Superman.
Lex is a "good" guy and considers himself a Superman too. There is also a pure human Clark Kent i.e. no powers at all.
how about batman and WW. are they from pre 52?
No, they're the New 52 characters
technically they are both, remeber, the new 52 is basically post crises with 10 years stolen from it, resulting in a bent out of shape world lacking in the elements of what made the post crises earth
More Superman. He is the reason why we have comics, marvel and DC
iTS OFFICAL I'M PICKING UP REBIRTH !!! this is the best one i've heard you tell in a long time and i've been wanting to start getting comics again
Glad I caught this! Love the work that you put into these post!!
Batman frowns, Superman whispers "he's a big softy" to Johnathan! 😂😂
Please continue with the series. Maybe it gets me to read superman.................You are entertaining and educative as always
The Hellbat suite is bloody awesome, was so good when Bruce goes to Apokolips for Damian.
I saw the HellBat suit and I yelled
"NO!!!! NO IT ABSORBS YOUR LIFE FORCE LOIS DON'T WEAR THAT SUIT AT LEAST GET A DIFFERENT ONE PLEASE GOD WHY?!"
chill
LOLOLLLOLLLL
Chances are Batman may have worked out the whole life force thing and made it almost impossible for the suit to steal life force
my thought when I saw her find it was "yup... the doods dun screwed the pooch here, mama bears pulling out some claws son.... run."
shoot batman probably got a lot of suits like ironman he just doesn't use them as often
YES! Lois! Krypto! Superboy! am officially a fan of this run and have to buy it
Thanks Rob!
OK. Strange prediction. Bruce, Damian, Clark and Johnathan. Superb at camping trip.
Oh thank goodness he saved Krypto.
I wonder what will happen to all the kryptonian souls
Rick Smith Superman is super possessed now. Maybe they will reincarnate on Earth? I dunno.
lol. Super possessed.
lol, Superpossessed. Niiiice
they moved on
Two names.
Goku and Gohan.
That's some GOOOOOOD western assimilation!
Superdad is the best thing ever.
Definitely one of the best Superman stories. One of my favourite.
God I just loved every issue of this arc. some may say that they kind of pro longed this fight with the eradicator but I just enjoyed every panel of it even with the little things like introducing bibbo back to the picture.Honestly, Supersons is the series I am most looking forward to reading cause I would just love the dynamics a joyful farm kid like jonathan teaming up with a battlehardend individual like damian(Out of curiousity, I am assuming they are both the same age am I right, I mean I know damian is 13 now, but jonathan I kind of forgot)
Superman is back. Heck yes.
This would make a coooool Superman film!
the narrator's enthusiasm is so contagious. the comic would not have felt so enjoyable otherwise
I have to give credit where credit is due you did an awesome job it was like i was actually reading the comic myself with out actually reading it. I'm glad DC is doing it this way cause i missed the humbled Superman
I love love love the Superman Rebirth series so far! Johnathon is awesome. What's the song at the end?
Literally just finished watching part 1 and part 2 was posted. Sweet.
I'm luv this dc rebirth hope you do more on superboy and superman
That story was awesome! I was against this whole bringing old supes back, but man... I am on board now.
Never liked Superman before this. So good.
As I recall, the original Eradicator was not feeding on the regenerating Kal-El. It did use the genetic material in much the same way Henshaw did, but it was acting to preserve Krytonian culture, just as it was programmed to do so by Kal's ancestor.

Yeah, look of horror, and such.
I'm 38 years old and cried like a baby when krypton was saved......best Superman series in years.....
awww... you didn't talk about the scene where supes told krypto to SIT on the eradicator. That was priceless.
Amazing art.It fills my heart with warmth that they arewriting Superman this way again
superman makes a comeback and he does it by being the hero
I predict a Superboy and Damian team up.
I had the same thought...Sons of Titans.
ot just teen titans lol
its called SuperSons that issue will be coming out later
+KilgraveMadeMeDoIt By latet you mean 2017?
Yeah no shit Sherlock
Well you have too love what Lois does when she puts on the HELL- BAT Suit!!
You keep focusing on how Lois is different from her 40's iteration. About how she's resourceful and gutsy. I think you missed the point when she rummages around the Batcave and finds the Hellbat Suit. It isn't about Lois Lane's resourcefulness. Eradicator messed with Jon, so now Mama Bear is going to bite and claw with all her might to protect her cub. It's really about Lois being a mother and how fierce mothers can be.
So glad I subbed to this book. Easily one of the best things to come out of Rebirth.
I love this story it's so awesome and badass i am also happy that they are basically retconing the stupid erradicator from the horrible return to krypton story arc out the window which makes me super happy in my opinion because that story was awful
Definitely loved this one!! Superman being my favorite super hero! This was a great narration and story!!
These comics so far have been so good.
superman better cut that check for the moon batcave. that mustve been Hella bread to make XD superman is grimy for that lmao
supes will have to squeeze some coal into diamonds for batman
hi. is the new 52 superman dead here? or still alive? the emotional superman.. (not pre 52 superman)
new 52 sups died so pre 52 sups is replacing him because the world needs it's icon.
Aaaah I remember that one lol
It is a good thing Kryptonians age slower than humans. Superman is going to need ten lifetimes to pay the repair bill on that Moon Batcave. He may need more than that given that he has a reporter's salary.
So well done! both part 1 and 2, with all the "side information" and not just reading the comic.
By the way, Rebirth Supergirl is much more grounded but her past is mostly the same as pre-crisis, with the story focusing on how she is assimilating into a primitive world. With the popularity of the show Cat Grant is back in and the Danvers are both established DEO agents, assigned to Kara as handlers. there is not too much promise in the story other than the current arc's villian, who is Cyborg Superman, possessing the body of Kara's body, and he's currently inhabiting a pre-destroyed 52 Fortress.
This story was amazing and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
Excellent music usage, Rob. Helps add to the tone quite well
this just made me really like superman more than I used to
Omg, this morning I caught part one before work, and I come home to this one. Sweet!!
Really enjoyed this story that I never knew existed, Thank you Rob!
"Superman really starts giving him the business" lmao
Quick summary in case new viewers are confused
Pre-crisis Superman: supposedly living his life as normal
Post-crisis Superman: trying his best to be the hero he’s always been in a world he doesn’t quite understand
New 52 Superman: dead
Eradicator: destroyed
Superboy: learning to be a hero despite the challenges that might stem from it
yes quite possibly the best superman story in a long while. pretty cool
what are you talking about? n52 Superman was great...
I don't have access to these comics so I really love watching your videos. You provide really in depth summaries. Mad props!
Batman is just pissed of that Superman got to him first, there's a Robin suit waiting in the batcave for him
was so hooked when you were telling the story. Great job sir
This has been my favorite of your series so far man!
I listen to your videos esp at night to help me fall asleep cuz it's hard for me. so thank you. love your channel btw it's my favorite out of everyone else
Did anybody notice the guy with the prosthetic hand in the bar was Hacken from the Hitman series of the 90's. Possibly the best comic ever written...
great story I don't read comic books anymore but with your amazing videos I can keep up with my favorite superheros
love this story made me smile
they knocked it out of the park with this Superman
The Eradicator !
and Superman heads to a bar to flick peanuts lmao. Great Vid man, enjoyed it quite a bit

I don't know what it is but comics always find a way to put me in a good mood.
Great Story!!! Thank you so much for uploading it!!! Can't wait to see more Superboy/Johnathan Kent.
I can't afford to keep watching robs videos, every time I finish one I drive down to third eye and buy it...
Hey that bartender bib is also from the old reign of supermen. The first comic I ever read was the first superboy after superman died and bib had a side story in it where he saved a dog from drowning. This homage means alot to me cuz it was my first comic growing up
I didn't know about this story but love it. The interactions between Superman and his are just amazing. That and bringing mom in? Just wonderful! I know DC has a habit of ruining good things but right now this is just great.
omg that scene of Johnathan after krypto dies gives me shivers
Thanks for these Superman vids. I'd love for you to do the epilogue!
I've been watching you for a long time. This video was probably your best done. Really nice!
I wonder if John Kent and Damian Wayne will become friends? It would be kinda cool IMO, Kinda like Gon and Killua from hunter x hunter.
They will, supersons comic on it's way
Also there's issue 12 for Superman showcasing Damian Wayne and Jonathan finally meeting each other
its issue 10 of superman
Jezreel Garcia oh issue 10 my bad i got my numbers mixed up whoops

Absolutely love it you were right about it being one of the best superman story's but I would love to see it become a animated film I think it would be great.

More Superboy please. Thanks for all you do.
Poor Batman...10 billion USD.....he can't ever have nice things because of Superman.

masterfully done, as always. your explanations are always captivating.
I think Batman is grimacing because his moon cave was trashed.
Popping in to give a view but I'm Gonna wait until the series is done to watch them all.
You are one of my favorite creators though! Thanks!
Batman scowling in the end is awesome. That's all he does is scowl.
The art was soooo good in these comics.
yes please cover issue 7! I've bought and read it already but i love the way you explain comics so it would be cool if you did it too
awesome story superman rules once again !!!!
"Batman's just grimacing because...he's Batman; that's just what he does." Truer words have never been spoken. However many universes are ever created or destroyed, that is one constant in all of them you can always depend on... ~_~
Dude, that story made me wanna pick up a DC comic for the first time in like 10 years.
I would actually love to see John and Damian teaming up in a mini-series.
