Lord Death Man would be a perfect addition to the Suicide Squad, even in a new movie, and having him be a running gag of dying but always coming back and then immediately dying again would have a lot of potential
Brilliant!
@@ComicDrake Man Waller would have no way to insure Lord Death Man would just leave because the bomb trick won't work, but LDM will just stay for Harley.
@@AnnHiroCh she could always just threaten Harley if he doesn't obey her
LDM calls amanda waller out on some bullshit and walks off the mission and waller detonates the bomb collar and as his head goes flying he just keeps walking away
he'd be the only volunteer since Waller can't just kill him
I'm shocked Lord Death Man isn't one of Red Hood's rogues. Can't break the no killing rule if the guy you're dealing with is immortal.
That would be convenient as hell but I also would love to see that cause I expect Jason would get fed up and keep going bigger and bigger to try to kill him
I think a very entertaining comic could come out of deathstroke being sent to kill the unkillable target
*writing that down*
Shit that is a good idea
I love that it was used as a convenient excuse for Batman to do to Lord Death Man what he refuses to do normally. He can’t die so let’s throw him from a building, run him over and stuff him in an airtight box and throw him into space.
How did the writers imagine Lord Death Man’s voice after the New 52? Because I don’t think there’s any other way to imagine Lord Death Man’s voice other than Skeletor’s voice
If the guy has an over-the-top design and a skull head, the only voice you should be hearing is skeletor!
@@evanlight2550 I hear a toned down version of Skeletor for Papyrus’s dialogue in Undertale, it literally is the only option for over-the-top skull-headed characters
I actually always read him with a very deep voice, fitting for a japanese supervillain.
@@sarafontanini7051 so when he said “I double-dog dare you!” You still heard a serious deep voiced anime villain voice???
@@v.v365 In all fairness that is frickin hilarious to imagine. I mean cmon!
I saw the thumbnail and said to myself "ThePandaRedd's gonna like this one" and then I saw the title and holy cow
Batman's neeeeeeeemesis
I thought the same thing when I saw it too
"It is I, Lord Death Man! Nyhehehehehe!"
You got this larry. You are both a master of yoga and disguise
I can name every single Pokemon and thier evolutions
Shout-out to Batman: The Brave and the Bold for being possibly the only time Lord Death Man was adapted outside of comics or manga.
yeah sucks he hasn't been adapted yet in anything out of comics surprised he didnt get adpated in the gotham series that was on fox i weirdly feel like he would have actually fit really well there with how weird that show got
Wait which season and episode
@@DALEKCHANNELYT it was the episode Batmite Presents: Batman’s strangest capers
That's probably where I first heard of him, along with Ambush Bug.
I swear that show did EVERYTHING, lol.
Lord Death Man actually has a ton of potential to be a top tier batman villain, honestly you just need a cool design and gimmick and you're pretty much set
Also Batman has an excuse to do things he wouldn’t normally do because he won’t die from it anyways.
Pretty much all of his top rogues gallery were originally just gimmicks that became popular. Joker was just a criminal that used primarily gag weapons, killer croc is literally just a crocodile man, bane is just a villain who is also a drug addict, two face is just a guy with chemical burns , the riddler yelled riddles at you and mr.freeze just used ice weapons. I’m pretty sure the only one who came in as a serious threat was Bane.
Honestly? I think a really fun idea would be to have Lord Death Man take over the Joker's operations after a comic run where the Joker dies again, which has the potential for some amazing scenes with the clowns dressed up as skeletons like in his original run. And it's set up perfectly so that when the Joker inevitably comes back, we can get this wonderful scene of the Joker trying everything in his power to kill him, including smilex'ing him, to no effect cause his head's a fucking skeleton, can't laugh himself to death like that! So now Joker has another hateboner rival and it cements LDM's place in Batman's rogue's gallery forever, partly because the joker would prioritize LDM over Batman at times because he pisses him off so much xD
@@Broomer52, more like an excuse for the writers to explore how Batman approaches otherwise-deadly tactics. Guy's dedicated to non-lethality, so what's his psyche going into putting down LDM as close as possible? How does he adapt his resources for that task? Does this rattle him, those around him, or the people of Gotham who rely on him?
And a better name
I love how that ai generated batman comic could have 100% been written by lord death man lol
The um.... Two Face and Joker attacking the Batcave one? I still can't listen to that without breaking down laugh-crying.
@@RickReasonnz I think you mean Two-Face and One-Face.
@@skin_lizard Ohh stop it you got me giggling again
The man is every old school hammy super villain from Japan brought to life. Mustache twirling, super exaggerated personality and some of the most incredible lines. The fact he orchestrated a death room from Tentacle Hentai perfectly illustrates who this man is.
I mean it sure wasn't written by an AI
I cant believe there hasn’t been a scene where lord death man has pretended to be dead after being attacked by batman and batman just freaking out thinking he actually killed him
Why can I imagine this in an Arkham style game?
Lord Death Man is the epitome of “too stubborn to die”, which I believe makes him a great supervillain. Because he knows he’s unkillable he does the extreme shit his does because he knows that there’s no consequences for his actions. Yeah you can kill him, but it never sticks. I like to imagine that the first time that he died he just annoyed Death so much that he refused to collect his soul and sent him back, and just does it every time he dies just so he doesn’t have to deal with him.
Would love to see him be another aspect of Death
Nekron (Emotional?)
Death (The Endless)
Black Racer (Inevitable)
Lord Death Man? Death being annoying
@@l0sts0ul89 I would say inconvenience
@@l0sts0ul89 I can just imagine Lord Death Man annoying everyone down there in the afterlife to the point where they throw him out.
Oooohh, maybe every time he dies, the fatal injury is replaced by bone as a side effect, and the first time he died was decapitation?
Those lord death man quotes cemented him as the greatest character to ever exist in every medium
Even funnier if he'd correctly said the sound effect of his size 12 boot as "ga-LOSH!" instead of "gah-loosh!" Cause galoshes are a kind of boot, y'know?
He knows all 1008 Pokemon.
Impressive.
@@pixellord2370 I mean when you can't die you have a lot of time to learn things.
And now you've introduced me to my new favorite Batman villain. An immortal dork with a skull head that can't die and wants nothing more than to be a supervillain sounds like the PERFECT set up for his own series. Give him a Skeletor voice and a deadpan snarky ally who just calls him Larry and you've got something.
I'd kinda have a morbid idea... what if Batman kept LDM around so that's his murder anger punching bag outlet? Like after years of suppressing all the murderous rage he can have against rhe criminals he just kinda takes it out on LDM as therapy, cause it's fine he'll always come back.
To be fair that is effectively his current story purpose. I think I understand sneider fans now. I never thought I’d laugh Watching the most morally staunch and unflinching character throw a otherwise normal human being out of a skyscraper and into an oncoming semi-truck.
Or what if LDM's constant appearances make Batman lose discipline slightly and put a mortal actually close to death? Like 50/50 chance they'd live or die and Batman has to contemplate this.
It'd prolly have to fit earlier Batman continuity; I doubt his discipline can be uprooted as easily nowadays.
That. ..would not be healthy and probably just makes batman's murderous tendencies just worse if he did have them....would be a cool alt universe Batman story tho
TOO MUCH ANGST!!!
I think the fact that he can give facial expressions with a skull for a head, makes him a million times scarier.
This character is wild. I think comics need more characters like LDM in certain titles. Can you imagine how much fun the creative teams would have???
Yeah, not all villains need to be serious
@@pedrocesarsakihara1853 agreed
How is he wild? His power is not special literally almost every comic character is immortal at this point
I mean, yes and no. The problem with characters like Lord Death Man is that it's an archetype that gets tiring quickly if it isn^t used sparingly. It's okay to not have characters like him appear frequently, and to only have a couple of them around.
@drakegrandx5914 tbf I think they're talking moreso about having more fun characters that you can do whatever with. LDM is fun because you get to cook up ridiculous death scenes since he's immortal
It think it would be hilarious if it's revealed LDM gets a DBZ-like zenkai boost every time someone tries to kill him. He's just casually wildly powerful and out there.
Just to be clear, they may have cannonically moved Gotham City to NJ in the modern DC universe, but that was not always the case. Early Batman stories practically call Gotham New York City, with New York landmarks and icons having direct parallels in Gotham. I would say that in 1966 when Death Man made his debut, Gotham was still squarely situated in Manhattan.
It gets me so mad whenever this part of Gotham is forgotten! New Yorks nickname is literally Gotham
Gotham has been said to be in NJ since the 70s. It's been in NJ longer than any other location.
I’ve always used Metro City rules from Street Fighter. It’s basically in the same universe as New York, so it’s just across the river from it so you can have roughly the same landmarks.
If anyone deserves to have faked Moon Knight panels as canon lines and have it make sense, it's going to be the guy who has experienced the trauma of death over and over again in the solitary confinement of a safe launched into the vacuum of outer space.
Don't forget that he memorized the names of every Pokémon.
AND their evolved forms!
@emeraldhillzone1992 But has he mastered Mega Evolutions? Checkmate Lord Death Man!
I'm so happy for Panda, this is one of the best collabs on the internet
Lord Death Man is the funniest comic character I've ever seen. I say the more over-the-top the better, it helps that his Skeletor-esque design makes him inherently funny.
He’s basically Skeletor a hammy villain that’s nonetheless a threat and his head is a skull and he’s (kind of) magical.
NYEH!
And just like that, Lord Death Man is my new favorite Batman villain.
Same
As somebody who considers the Jiro Kuwata Batman manga to be one of their favorite iterations of the character, this video was really a delight to watch. I had no idea LDM's had such a revival, for lack of a better term, in modern comics!
One slight correction though, Lord Death Man was not the first villain that appeared in Kuwata's series. Modern reprints of the Batman manga are collected out of their original publication order, with the LDM storyline usually listed first despite it happening halfway through the series' initial run in Shonen King. The story arcs though are mostly self-contained so it doesn't matter what order they're read in more often than not.
One of the reasons Lord Deathman was chosen as the first villian in the Manga adaptation is that he bares a nonsignificant to an already popular Japanese character at the time, Golden bat. In the same year that Deathman first appeared, there was a live action movie based on Goldenbat as well as the first Goldenbat anime being released in the following year in 1967. Interestinl enough, he first appeared in 1930s as a paper theater character, predatting both Superman and Batman and is often refered to as "the first modern superhero"
there is old unreleased Superman comic from 1933, which predates golden bat. So he isn't really a first modern superhero.
@cesarzpontu8886
Key word there being unreleased
“Panda, what the fuck?” Was the highlight of the video for me. Super glad this video exists, this is a really neat character and the type of people I like hearing/learning about
The fact he is talking about him in a MCR shirt makes this video 10 times better
13:32 I like how you can tell that it's supposed to be a Lord Skeletor impression, but I can't help but wait for Lord Death Man to just go "VENTURE!" and show off his giant flying coffin
If Lord Death Man shows up in the Harley Quinn show, I know who I'm pushing to voice him
I need for him to sound like skeletor because it makes it so much fucking funnier😂😂😂
This guy is like a mix between The Golden Bat and Skeletor and I love him
I'm suprised someone remembers the golden bat
@@kenshirolucario2836 Kenny Lauderdale makes some good quality videos
He says that his only power is that he can die, but he's also a master of yoga.
He also knows all of the Pokémon and their evolutions.
12:54 only an immortal would have enough time to learn EVERY POKÉMON NAME as a side hobby to being a mob boss.
We need a petition to make Lord Death Man the villain of Harley Quinn Season 4
That or suicide squad movie 3 member
@@prototyped1531 would love to see him in SS3
I agree
A Comic Drake/Panda Redd Crossover is the team up we needed and deserved.
Bat-Manga came out in the 60s, Shotaro Ishinomori's Skull Man came out in 1970 (and would lead to the creation of Kamen Rider, which lead to the creation of Super Sentai, which lead to the creation of Power Rangers and toku Spider-Man)
I don't think this is a coincidence.
Would love to see more videos on the histories of characters widely considered jokes. Maybe one for the Great Lakes Avengers? That could be a fun topic.
Yeah they could mention that one of the members was killed instantly after joining the team or some guy who thought it was a kink group
D-Man, D-Man
I refuse to believe his full name isn't Larry Deathman
who's also japanese for some reason
Sir Larry 'Lord' Deathman... Esquire...
Glad we still got a little bit of Panda's LDM voice! Also, "Not the guy. Stop asking." is a great lower third!
0:53 I love the fact that the guy with the Tommy Gun in the background of that cover looks like he's saying, "We're in the middle of a tense situation here, and Batman's posing for a _photo op?!?"_ lol
If they ever do another "Superman and Spiderman"-style crossover between DC and Marvel (which I know will probably never happen these days...) they should definitely have an issue where Deadpool is hired to kill Lord Deathman. And despite Drake's misgivings, I think it should be full-on crazy LDM, just to compete. Yeah, it's not going to please those who are reading for intricate storytelling and high concept art, but it'll be a riot for anyone who enjoys the slapstick funny-books and can be the fan-service face-off moment in an otherwise more serious and gritty limited run - sort of like DP being involved in "Civil War" where there was an actual serious event going on but there was this little corner of it all with the wacky antics as a comedy break.
Also, it'll just be fun to see how they resolve it.
@@kdisley Since DP and LDM would be unable to kill each other, I can only imagine that the issue would end with an anticlimax, and/or a dialogue between the two about the nature of suffering and how being immortal gives a broader perspective on the human condition, and thus their mutual disregard for collateral casualties.
@@OddmanoutreOr it turns out the way Lord Deathman got his powers was also by being in love with death, only she was the one to cast him out for not being able to handle him.
I love Lord Death Man. I’ve only read his appearances in the Joshua Williamson Robin run, but I loved what I read.
The DC universe does have their own super lawyer like Daredevil and She-Hulk. Her name is Kate Spencer, AKA Manhunter and she's awesome! She's the one who got Wonder Woman off for snapping Maxwell Lord's neck. Also she's a mother with a very comlex relationship with her ex-husband and kid. Honestly, She should have a show.
Thank you! I was honestly surprised he didn't even know about her, it's not like she's an obscure character... she was even in *Arrow* .
Does that mean Comic Drake has never read the amazing *Batman: Streets of Gotham* ? Nor Gail Simone's *Birds of Prey* (I know Simone is kinda controversial, but she writes some mean comic books)? Or *Green Arrow: Rebirth* ? Or *Manhunter* 's own title, that ran from 2004 to 2009? Or *Event Leviathan* ? Or *Gotham by Midnight* ?
_HOW EMBARRASSING_
I preferred Kirk DePaul (Power Company), but Kate's top-notch
This whole first appearance of Lord Deathman is pretty much adapted beat for beat in the brave and the bold show, in what is supposed to be a speed racer esque Batman show from the 60s
Man, talking about Lord Death Man remind me of that scene when he said "I am Lord Death Man! Now you are Dead, man!"
Funniest shit I ever made up
i liked the scene where he lorded all over the place
11:06
Panda Redd: Freaking EXPLODING IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE would be the death of any lesser…any *less ridiculous* supervillain. I mean, ask Palpatine.
Sheev: Finally, a worthy opponent.
You might want to double check on Established Titles, they've had some pretty credible accusations of scamming thrown their way and several other TH-camrs have already cut ties with them and apologized for promoting a scam.
There better be a live action Lord Death Man debut in the next 10 years
FlatlineRobin
Also, Batman sounds like the perfect counter for LDM.
LDM: "Ha, I cannot be killed!"
Batman: "I do not kill."
LDM: "CURSES!"
My only guess as to why Lord Death Man was chosen for the manga is that he has a striking resemblance to the beloved Japanese superhero Ogon Bat (Golden Bat).
“Eventually, Lord Death Man stopped think- Oh wait, he’s all right”
LDM's depiction in Morrison's initial Batman Incorporated run is my favourite version of the character. It's like the perfect balance of sheer ridiculousness and keeping LDM a genuine threat.
5:05 im pretty sure he chose Deadman because he kind of looked like Golden bat, even more so in this manga
Lord Death Man sounds like he's Batman's greatest nemesis, as well as He-Man's nemesis.
Yeah, Lord Death Man kinda played himself, because now Batman can enact any form of torture he wants with no repercussions because he will never break his no killing rule
Oh no established titles sponsorship just a few days after ☠️ rip drake
Never heard of LDM before and now I am in love with him. Now one of my favorite DC characters ever!
DC does kind of have their own lawyer Super Hero - Manhunter (Kate Spencer, she was like the sixth or seventh person with that name)
Unfortunately she has only been sporadically used since her debut series from the early 2000s (Bendis used her a little in his latest 'Checkmate' series but it's Bendis so it's not worth talking about)
Which is a shame, since she has some interesting aspects, like being a single mom and the fact that she's related to some b-tier Golden Age characters (she's the granddaughter of Iron Munro and the original Phantom Lady)
Thank you! I was honestly surprised he didn't even know about her, it's not like she's an obscure character... she was even in Arrow .
Does that mean Comic Drake has never read the amazing Batman: Streets of Gotham ? Nor Gail Simone's Birds of Prey (I know Simone is kinda controversial, but she writes some mean comic books)? Or Green Arrow: Rebirth ? Or Manhunter 's own title, that ran from 2004 to 2009? Or Event Leviathan ? Or Gotham by Midnight ?
_HOW EMBAAARRASSING_
It would be even better if whenever he dies dies(like disintegration or inescapable imprisonment), he just simply respawns. Somewhere. Anywhere. So you couldn't get rid of him.
And whenever someone inside the universe asks how he came back, the answer will always be "idk, I died. I got better tho."
FOOOL! LORD DEATH MAN CAN NEVER DIE!

@@sarafontanini7051 DIM MaK technique on some testicles
Lord Death Man is the kind of comic characters I think about, a nobody from old school comics that’s a sudden cult classic outta nowhere, its awesome
been waiting for a full collaboration with these 2 . You're some of my favorite creators and this video was really informative and creative :] you 2 are genuinely some of the most entertaining creators i seen keep the amazing content up
Dude, the MCR shirt and Cheetos mug reveal was a PERFECT choice for this character 👌 I love themed outfits for videos like this. It's a small touch, but it really does make a difference
1. I thought he made out with Ra's' mom, not grandmother
2. Bruh I feel cheated because I didn't hear one thing about his appearance in Batman: The Brave and the Bold
I clicked on this video expecting a completely bland, forgettable villain with a really stupid gimmick. I was NOT expecting a character with this wild and crazy history, and now I freakin love him.
8:30 “I won’t kill you… But I don’t have to save you.”
7:06: Mother Soul is Ra’s Al Ghul’s mom (and therefore Talia’s grandma and Damian’s great-grandma).
Honestly, if I also learned how to become immortal through the power of yoga, I feel like my confidence would also shoot through the roof. He probably found out he was immortal and immediately located the nearest Spirit Halloween to get the costume for his crusade
Really liked the portrayal of Lord Death Man in the Batman 66 comic. That series and its crossovers deserve a lot more attention.
2:46 it’s probably because they take a plea deal because public defenders are the most overworked workers in the legal system.
oh my god it’s happening. The colab. Everyone stay calm…. Stay calm… STAY F&$@ CALM
I remember panda redd confirming this is an actual villain which made this sound hilarious
You using Skeletor's voice for Lord Death Man was fricking hilarious 😂
I think he could be a very interesting villain. I wrote this backstory for him that would explain his immortality but also turning it into a cruel punishment for his avarice and greed. I’m not the best writer and I’m sure someone else could write a better motive for him, but I think it’s pretty good:
Second rendition: Lord Death Man was a cruel and sadistic pirate Lord that lived in the 1700s. His insatiable thirst for power led him to his most costly and deadly voyage for the Fountain of Youth, there he would stumble across a powerful kingdom ruled by the elusive and equally as ruthless Henri Ducard, Ra’s Al Ghul in disguise. The Pirate Lord’s determination and arrogance amused Ducard, and because of this he was spared from his wrath. In return for Ducard’s generosity, he was given a very difficult task of infiltrating and intercepting a British Cruiser that housed a notable figurehead within the Kingdom. The pirate lord agrees and sets out across the Indian Ocean with his newly acquired crew, there the fleet of ships patrolling the cruiser spot the requisite Repose Ship inching closer and closer, and lay siege on the infamous vessel of tyranny. The Pirate Lord is able to make a sharp turn with the help of an anchor and allow the crew below to start firing back, as the assassins manage to swing onto the deck of the Cruiser. In the distance, The Pirate Lord sees an even bigger fleet in the distance heading towards their way. On board of the ship the crew members manage to eliminate the guards and secure the target, Bronze Tiger. Once the package is secured, The Pirate Lord cuts the ropes and steers clear of the volley of cannon balls and bullets flying his way, as he sets sail to a remote island in The Indies believing to have escaped the Assassins. Once the ship docks on an island, The Pirate Lord takes to the streets and celebrates his freedom by staying at the local inn. Later that night he is awoken by muffled screams and an assassin cloaked in black grabbing his throat and dragging him onto a ship. He is tied up and blindfolded, only occasionally being fed and given water, and what ever little light he could see from a broken piece of hull, is shrouded in an everlasting flame emanating from the island. The voyage back to Ducard is long and arduous, and once the ship is docked, he is brought further into the land, deep underground. He is awoken by the blinding light of the Lazarus Pit and there he spots the true face of Ducard sitting atop a throne that towered high above him. In a low and menacing tone the Demon addresses the Pirate Lord, “I spare your soul, and this is how you repay me? You abandoned your crew and fled as they were left to face the wrath of the British Empire. Because of your cowardice and selfishness, you have shown me the true side of humanity and the poison it leaves behind on the earth. I should have you flayed and buried in rock salt for what you have done, but I believe I have a much better punishment for you”. The Demon rises from the throne and descends the flights of stairs as the demon stand up the traitor so that he may face his fate. “When you return to your pitiful life, you will come to find that your life will be meaningless, food will turn to ash in your mouth, water will burn and scorch you from the inside, you will watch as those you have ever loved turn to dust and become one with the earth. Death will seem like a miracle and no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you shall never be spared from your eternal cycle of suffering”.
The Demon proceeds to skin the Pirate Lord with a sacrificial Dagger and push the body into the pit, the Pirate Lord screams in persistence agony as the pit seeps into every orfice, both new and old, infusing itself into his circulatory system, pumping his heart and blood with eternal youth and pain. Until he rises out of the pit with his skin and muscles fully healed and intact, but now fueled with an insatiable hunger. The Demon, cruelly invites the newly reborn Lord Death Man to a grand feast, filled with all sorts of delicacies and delectable entrees of all kinds of cuisines from around the globe. The assassins all gather around and feast and feast, and The Demon laughs with a vicious cackle, as Lord Death Man tries desperately to consume even a crumb of what he believed to be what was left of his humanity.
13:47: I like the fact that Drake is sitting on the throne reading an indie comic while Panda Redd is talking about Lord Death Mam.
Ironic he was fleshed out in manga, when another Superhero manga Kinnikuman his villain is essentially a parody of Lord Death Man. Outfit and all.
People keep bagging on him, but his sidekick accomplished the impossible: she made Damian interesting.
"Nyeh heh heh, I'm immortal and am going to rob banks!"
14:08 this is incredibly chaotic and wild and I love it
2:08 I mean this is Gotham city they have to find some way to reduce the 15449549437 + more crimes done every single second.
Dumbest? HE IS THE MOST AWESOME VILLAIN!!!
I like the idea of him locking horns with other members of the Bat-Family). That's where there's even more spark of fun begins with the character. Sure he fought Damian, but I want to see him tango with Red Hood and Batgirl (Cassandra Cain). THEN we're talking some glorious fun!!!
He did fight batwoman in one issue , she trapped him in concrete
I can’t wait for lord death man to have a spot tier glow up lmao
I'm only mildly surprised that Grant Morrison had a part in making Lord Death Man cool... They're one of those few authors where you can definitely feel the love they have for the medium and still embrace the weird side of comics.
Pandas impression immediately came across as papyrus from undertale because that is the voice I use for papyrus because it fits him so well and it also fits lord death man
Lord Death Man in the Robin series has been a very good edition and Flatline I think was a fun sidekick for him.
If he ever gets in the movies, DDP should play him. The master of Yoga and Violence
"Kind of extreme since Gotham City is located in New Jersey". According to Young Justice it's in Connecticut since it's a coastal city equidistant between New York and Boston.
Cool. That's a completely different universe.
"Lord Death Man" sounded like my old 00's internet username.
got to say that Pokemon line had me laughing harder than id like to admit
I AM NOT DUMB!!! And that PANDA guys impression is oddly accurate.
I think I love this villain.
The only thing about him I would want to experiment with in character writing is to make him more and more extreme. Not in a Deadpool kind of way, I think I would make him ironically funny with a good comedic presence (Maybe in like a Deadpool and Cable dynamic, where he would be mostly serious all the time, but funny things happen to him while he stays deadpan serious; not where he goes out and looses his demeanor as he dies or gets hurt, but where he stays serious, but something funny happens to him sort of way... maybe like a less bombastic parody of Dr. Doom)... but make him more extreme as every time he comes back his threat level and insanity kind of rises to the point where now he's the wild card at the worst time. Make him do something insane like potentially Kill Darkseid for some period of time and rule Apocalypse (Because he comes to the understanding that Darkseid is just a Mob boss from the New Gods).
I'd also want to make him a Plasticman villain, a lot of Plasticman's rogue gallery are silly or parody based. For Plastic Man, I think he could be fun if you make him kind of like the MCU Antman, mixed with Deadpool, maybe a bit Booster Gold as well, but give him a title like "The Man Who doesn't Break", while you can have Death Man get a cool title as "The Unbreakable Man". (Kind of describing Plastic Man that can be twisted, contorted, chewed up, melted, stretched, spit out and still be fine, while Death Man is described as being able to be chopped up, torn apart, dismembered, decapitated, burned, and blown into pieces and still be fine (So a bit of changes to both of their powers). Plastic Man would kind of be a "Rehabilitated" Criminal, someone who was originally a goon, but worked themselves into being a one time Batman Rogue's gallery villain, but captured, put in Arkham, and then got out for "good" behavior much like some other Batman Rogues getting out of Arkham, maybe played for comedy or laughs, but also organized intentionally by Hugo Strange. Still being like a criminal he would plan to commit a crime, but on the day he executes his plan, another crime is already taking place and Batman is in a Pinch, but because of Plasticman's strange sense of honor and little heart of Gold, he can't leave batman to die and helps Batman take down the criminal, leading Plasticman to a Justice League invitation. From there on, Plasticman would be a conniving conman of a character that somehow fails upward, with the desire to be the greatest underground boss.
I think he could even convince an old friend to becoming his fake nemesis to give him a arch rival and rogue gallery villain that he can foil over and over again to look good with the league under the guise of "Dr. Dome" that he uses to con them over and over. It can work, making them both fail upward until now Dr. Dome is a big enough name where now he gets targeted by the mysterious Lord Death Man, and now Plastic Man has to actually be serious for once and rescue his friend before he gets killed, risking everything from his position in the league, to everything he's ever accumulated as this Lord Death Man in contrary is the kind of guy that works really hard to earn his way to the top. Not through cheap schemes to get himself there in the simplest way possible, but through brutality, hard work, and meticulous plots, almost in hopes of out working his sometimes bad luck. Thinking about it, I guess their dynamic would be like Homer Simpson and Frank Grimes from that classic episode, just no friendship or comradery outside of slowly realizing they are becoming each other's arch rival.
Lord Death Man's got me laughing hard with that Skeletor voice! Joker, eat your heart out!
You could honestly say that "He always comes back."
Well… Batman going extra now? Lord Deathman sound like a lot fun and I want see more!!!
I love lord death man so so much, he just brings me insane amounts of joy. I want to write Batman comics so bad and use him
Let’s just agree that Larry is the best batman villain and bring it up when anyone talks about who’s Batman’s best villain and then we will refuse to elaborate
Ah yes, Batman's greatest Nyehmesis! A master of Yoga! An encyclopedia of every pokemon and their evolution! The banger of Damian's great-grandma!
Crazy to see Batman in Manga form so early in his career.
I love how he went from a brutal mob boss to being a shitposter
I have been waiting for this video ever since Panda teased it on his tiktok! Holy shit I didn't think LDM could say much crazier than the Pokemon thing or dating Damian's great grandmother, but I apparently knew nothing when it came to what Panda's taught me about Larry.
Tbh, immortal putting bounty on himself for fun is hilarious
But yeah he isn't villain that will beat superman's ass, but his immortality allows him to pull off stupid shenanigans and he does have flashy style
Maybe they chose him for the manga because he somewhat resembles golden bat in appearance
You know I just realize that power wise, Lord Deathman is basically just Deadpool with consent!!!
LDM is my new favorite character. Also great job Panda!
If DC and Marvel ever crossover again, Lord Death Man NEEDS to fight Mr. Immortal.
Amalgam variant:
Immortal Death Man
that's great! didn't know about the Japanese aspect
as for looking like a Japanese villain, he actually looks like 'golden bat', a Japanese Super Hero from the 30's.
maybe this is the reason from Death Man has been the villain of the Batman manga
"Breath deep the flatulence of oblivion" is a quote made for O'Malley from RvB
I wonder if he is based on the character golden bat. A very early superhero of a similar nature, with the ability to not die and having a skeleton appearance with a cape
