I think martian manhunter is the evil person killing important characters. "they look like us, sound like us, but they are not us. They are demons" could be referencing their shape-shifting capabilities and when superman says "they cannot be contenders" i think this the martians trying to remove anything that could threaten them. But its just a theory.
Brilliant theory, I hope you’re right because 1) sounds very cool and 2) this clears up all the contradicting behaviors such as kal el being like a brother to Bruce and super girl being genuinely confused at the murders she was accused of.
When I thought joker would get a power ring, I thought it would be a yellow ring or a black one as his ability to spread fear and death is legendary but never a green one. It shows that just willpower is not a measure of a good will
To be fair, Joker does have a strong will. Not only does he stand up to Batman, who is one of the most intimidating figures in Gotham, but he actively antagonize him without even a hint of fear. Joker doesn’t even have all that much fear, The only thing I can think of that he fears is becoming irrelevant.
@@nicholasarquilla9643 not sure a GL ring would give him those kind of powers and not make everything green. And I don't think this is an apex lex situation
It has to be him Clark and Kara do seem to be telling the truth plus it makes sense to try and kill Bruce because he's not just a detective but also a half blood. Plus Black Lightning mentions that they're demons who look human amongst them which makes me think John is in league with Trigon.
@@kwayneboy1524 prophecy might be fake or wrong like starwars but I don't think John is in league with trigon, I think he could betray the pierces but not on the level that would lead to deaths. I'm going with the prophecy being right cuz it mentions they'll come from the stars, they'll look like us, that sounds like a shapeshifter. I think the plan is to pit both sides against each other then invade when they're weak, kal and Bruce are injured, pierce and his son are dead, jor El is dead. When pierce comes back, he'd eventually go insane meaning they'd have to put him down again. Feels like secret invasion that way.
this is not the first time Luthor has been the joker. He also went isane and was Jokerized in Speeding Bullets, where interestingly Kal El is raised by the Waynes as Bruce Wayne and becomes the Batman
Man, Youre so much better than Comics Explained or Comicstorian you keep the story flowing in a way that's engaging without all the melodramatic reading of Comicstorian, yet give us the perfect amount of exposition from prior issues without going on a 5 minute tangent like Comics Explained. Your content is just superb. Keep it up Arris.
All of these channels have different styles its unfair to compare these channels and their way of storytelling when they set out to do different things
@@Kynreevez maybe comicstorian could improve abit but he earned all his subs because people like his content and i personaly enjoy comics explained the most as i think hes the easiest to just sit back and lisen to
...I'm reasonably sure that every established Green Lantern canon would have the Guardians in fucking apoplexy at the existence of a "Green Man" running homicidal roughshod over anywhere with a Lantern Corps ring.
@nemo pouncey Look on the bright side, all Batman needs to do is put him in a cell made of wood. Iirc the original ring cannot affect wood in any way. Which is why Swamp Thing proved difficult to combat.
This story and setting have so much potential...But at the same time is so unfocsed and over the top... I think and hope they an animated movie out of this story, and improve on it.
Well in the comics, Thomas and Jor-El did meet each other before and became friends, in Superman/Batman issue #50, where his mind was teleported to Krypton by a Kryptonian probe. Thomas was responsible for convincing Jor-El to send baby Clark to Earth, and even stated that he would take care of him if he reached Earth. Oh and Clark and Bruce are half brothers in this series.
If you think about it, Joker sort of works for the green lantern ring, I mean sure the guy is BATSH** crazy but he’s got almost unbreakable willpower as Batman claimed the Joker to be an “absolute”….which basically implies his way of living and his will can’t be altered or negotiated with.(Which is MOSTLY true)
Before watching the video I thought Joker would've been a perfect recruit for the sinestro corps. I mea people often say Batman is because his whole deal is to inspire fear in the hearts of criminals but Joker is just as if not more terrifying. The chalk white skin the maniacal laughter the way how he so easily and indiscriminately kills friends and foes. I mean seriously give that Clown a yellow ring already.
5:07 NO! That wasn't a mistake, it was a choice! Don’t you dare think or let them persuade you that cheating on you was just a mistake, and now they realize that they shouldn’t have done it. That cowardly act has nothing to do with making mistakes by accident. I feel so rageful with how they portray Jor-el and Martha in this series (The good never gets to stay good). They made her pined after his godly abilities and I don't know what in the world his excuse could have been. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BEHAVIOR! There has to be a reason! Anger, self-esteem, lack of love, low commitment, need for variety, neglect, sexual desire? They both have their own loving and caring spouse so how can this violation of love occur? Every action you make is approved by your brain which means YOU made a decision to make another human being feel miserable by enjoying your moment of happiness. Now for the rest of their life, Bruce will always be that symbol (not his fault) of Martha and Jor-el infidelity.
THE GREEN LUTHOR WHO LAUGHS. I'm not saying that's not a bad character but, comic writing lately has turned into who haven't we made into the Joker? Or who can we make venom? Or what about someone else becomes the hulk?
Ive always wanted joker to became a indigo lanturn as 1 he always were purple anyway but 2 hus lack of compasion is so high hed prolly be like a captain kevel threat
@@tootinabag3481 thank God, thought I was the only one😅😅😅 I kept thinking who was he talking about the way he was pronouncing the name cause I've never heard it pronounced that way.
Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Mr_Bones, Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished? Can you do history of the Atom, Major_Force, Captain Atom, Plastique, the Blackhawks, Rocket Red Brigade, Blue_Beetle, Mr Terrific and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?
I swear if wb thought outside of the box more they'd crush marvel they have so many crazy stories yet they keep bringing us the basics Snyder could've possibly brought this to life.
Game of Thrones X DC. When u said it was it was "something I never knew I wanted, so badly.", i disagreed so hard until i watched the rest of the vid. Holy crap i want more now lol. gg
How much history does Carrie Kelley have? She's a hetero-friendly Robin because of Frank Miller being Frank Miller even before we knew exactly what "being Frank Miller" meant, and those of us who have read The Dark Knight Strikes Again, pretty much the consensus is that Crazy Steve is cognitive distorting something major and one of his old victims is trying to rescue Crazy Steve's latest victim. She was Damian's tutor in the main universe, and she once appeared in Teen Titans GO! (Can that be Earth-π?)
Only in the universe where Thomas Wayne is Batman the Joker is not really a problem mainly because Martha Wayne is the Joker, but then again I could be wrong because that story of the universe within the DC Multiverse hasn't been flushed out yet.
So in this set of ComicBook stories it has an evil Green Power Source, the villain (Lex Luthor) becomes Joker, and he is a powerful Evil Green-Lantern too.

I feel like Joker could be a white lantern because he can literally embody everything
how can I read/watch Batman Unburied being deaf?

They are demons" could be referencing their shape-shifting capabilities and when superman says "they cannot be contenders" i think this the martians trying to remove anything that could threaten them.
But its just a theory.
I just came to that conclusion moments ago.
This theory holds weight given what has happened.
Plus manhunter is one of the few other people with rhe capabilities to do what kara (supposedly) did
Brilliant theory, I hope you’re right because 1) sounds very cool and 2) this clears up all the contradicting behaviors such as kal el being like a brother to Bruce and super girl being genuinely confused at the murders she was accused of.
Forgot this but when Bruce was stabbed, Clark did not react at all to holding kryptonite.
When I thought joker would get a power ring, I thought it would be a yellow ring or a black one as his ability to spread fear and death is legendary but never a green one. It shows that just willpower is not a measure of a good will
Rage would make sense too.
@@coolbeans3752 Joker doesn't really get angry easily.
Maybe a pink ring for his love of Batman lol
Sinestro had a green ring, they have nothing to do with being good
@@coffeelover0876 it's their willpower
To be fair, Joker does have a strong will. Not only does he stand up to Batman, who is one of the most intimidating figures in Gotham, but he actively antagonize him without even a hint of fear. Joker doesn’t even have all that much fear, The only thing I can think of that he fears is becoming irrelevant.
I was going to crap on Joker with a green power ring.
But you make great points.
Or facing marvel's punisher
hm I think he might have strong will power to bring chaos. I think Joker's true element is chaos.
I think he should be Indigo.
When you remember the Indigo Tribe do not naturally feel compassion but are instead forced to, it makes more sense.
ye but he could easily be a yellow lantern. He doesnt have much fear but still instills/gives fear
I really hope they continue with this version of these DC characters. It's refreshing to see a medieval take.
That's what I'm noticing out of both DC and the MCU they're both starting to lean more into the multiverse which is giving us all these new stories.
I'm calling it, the fake Clark and Kara is a Martian. It fits the prophecy, and I can't think of another shapeshifter that can fly.
or it could be Lex using the ring to disguise himself

I haven’t been excited for a DC series in a long long time and this is the perfect one.
this is not the first time Luthor has been the joker. He also went isane and was Jokerized in Speeding Bullets, where interestingly Kal El is raised by the Waynes as Bruce Wayne and becomes the Batman
The Joker should be Indigo. Complete sociopath, forced to feel some compassion for once.

This just amazing that this exists. Hope to see an animated movie adaptation at some point
At this point it seems literally ANYONE can become a Green Lantern
...I'm reasonably sure that every established Green Lantern canon would have the Guardians in fucking apoplexy at the existence of a "Green Man" running homicidal roughshod over anywhere with a Lantern Corps ring.
Funny, I always thought he would either be a Yellow or Black Lantern.
I think it's not a green lantern corp ring but the old orignal alan scott's ring
@nemo pouncey Look on the bright side, all Batman needs to do is put him in a cell made of wood.
Iirc the original ring cannot affect wood in any way. Which is why Swamp Thing proved difficult to combat.
Indigo. Or if there's an Infrared Corps based on pride the way the Ultraviolet Corps seems to be based on shame, God knows the Joker is arrogant.
This has been epic hope to see more characters in this universe
"You wanna know how I got this Lantern ring".😂
Never in my life would I ever expect a version of Joker to get a Green Lantern ring
This series really needs to be animated for real!!!
I already read all of these newest comics issues, thanks to Arris🤣
It was a ton of fun🤣
This story and setting have so much potential...But at the same time is so unfocsed and over the top...
I think and hope they an animated movie out of this story, and improve on it.
Yes! I agree
And make it a series rather than a movie
If becomes a series they'd definitely focus it and polish up the narrative.
Wow Jor-El and Thomas Wayne as friends man never thought two of our heroe's Furthers would ever be friends
Well in the comics, Thomas and Jor-El did meet each other before and became friends, in Superman/Batman issue #50, where his mind was teleported to Krypton by a Kryptonian probe. Thomas was responsible for convincing Jor-El to send baby Clark to Earth, and even stated that he would take care of him if he reached Earth.
Oh and Clark and Bruce are half brothers in this series.
Really
Gotta keep posted on this one. Don’t think I’ve been this invested Ina comic in YEARS
If you think about it, Joker sort of works for the green lantern ring, I mean sure the guy is BATSH** crazy but he’s got almost unbreakable willpower as Batman claimed the Joker to be an “absolute”….which basically implies his way of living and his will can’t be altered or negotiated with.(Which is MOSTLY true)
I like how they casually breezed over Kal stabbing Bruce
I’ve been moving reading this series so far it’s definitely one of my top 5 favorite most recent series

13:34 Titans!!!! How had no one else been talking about this they might give us a ton of b list heros which is so cool
I'm loving this whole story. Amazing stuff.
Joker never struck me as the will power type.
The man taunts battle man on a regular basis and has little to no fears he has it in tons
Joker is a Green Lantern?! GAME OVER, MAN!!! GAME OVER!!!
Plus he's a luther 😭😭😭
Surely a yellow lantern would be more appropriate 😂
This issue has peaked my interest this year. it's great
The twists are unseeable
Love this !!! Such an awesome storyline, thanx for these vids man it’s really helpfull to catch up on the cool comics these days ! Respect 😎🤜🏼🤛🏼
Aw Hell what has the world come to when the Joker becomes a Green Lantern 😂😂
Yellow lantern makes sense
Luther becomes joker becomes green lantern

Best thing from DC in a long while
5:07 NO!
That wasn't a mistake, it was a choice!
Don’t you dare think or let them persuade you that cheating on you was just a mistake, and now they realize that they shouldn’t have done it.
That cowardly act has nothing to do with making mistakes by accident.
I feel so rageful with how they portray Jor-el and Martha in this series (The good never gets to stay good).
They made her pined after his godly abilities and I don't know what in the world his excuse could have been.
I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THIS BEHAVIOR!
There has to be a reason! Anger, self-esteem, lack of love, low commitment, need for variety, neglect, sexual desire? They both have their own loving and caring spouse so how can this violation of love occur?

Absolutely amazing story! I would love to see it animated. . .🤩🤔😎👌🏾💯

PLEASE OH PLEASE MAKE THIS AN ANIMATED DC FILM, 6 PART ARC! WOULD BE EPIC!!!
Joker as a Green Lantern now that's a nightmare
Interesting take on Batman and Superman in this storyline, but I wanted to see more of Joker Green Lantern! Absolutely crazy!
Nah this shit has so many twists and turns. Please DC Gods & Comic book God turn this into an animated movie or series (that sticks to this plot) 🤞🏾🤞🏾
Ive always wanted joker to became a indigo lanturn as 1 he always were purple anyway but 2 hus lack of compasion is so high hed prolly be like a captain kevel threat

^ Possessed by a Green lantern ring…that’s not how that works🤔
It would be awesome if they animated this in a movie like they did with Gaslight, or even have a 2 part movie

I hope they make a show of this...
Appreciate your channel 🦇

Game of Thrones X DC. When u said it was it was "something I never knew I wanted, so badly.", i disagreed so hard until i watched the rest of the vid. Holy crap i want more now lol. gg
This is acc my favorite comics story rn
Kara & Kal were Martian Manhunter in disguise at the time.
This man is actively refusing to say Ra's al Ghoul's name properly.
yeah it's odd since he showed a clip of how to properly say it a while back
Joker should have his very own type of ring. A ring of chaos or insanity. That's pretty much his element: Chaos.
chaos aint really one of the emotions on the spectrum tho. could see a type of insanity ring tho (altho that may just be a red + black lantern)
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
How much history does Carrie Kelley have? She's a hetero-friendly Robin because of Frank Miller being Frank Miller even before we knew exactly what "being Frank Miller" meant, and those of us who have read The Dark Knight Strikes Again, pretty much the consensus is that Crazy Steve is cognitive distorting something major and one of his old victims is trying to rescue Crazy Steve's latest victim.

It's like DC mixed with Game of Thrones and I love it
I still can't believe in this universe Bruce and Clark are Brothers
I am loving this story can’t wait for the next part ❤️
Finally, been waiting forever
I don’t know about you guys, but this would be a great Superhero/RPG video game
Only in the universe where Thomas Wayne is Batman the Joker is not really a problem mainly because Martha Wayne is the Joker, but then again I could be wrong because that story of the universe within the DC Multiverse hasn't been flushed out yet.
This series has me soooo intrigued! I'm in
I guess the Green Lantern Corps is evil in this universe
I cant wait for the next variant podcast episode 😃
I absolutely love this series
I always suspected he'd be a red lantern given his back story in Killing Joke.
when this series ends they should let an Anime studio adapt it like Ufotable or MAPPA. It would be cool af.
So in this set of ComicBook stories it has an evil Green Power Source, the villain (Lex Luthor) becomes Joker, and he is a powerful Evil Green-Lantern too.
It's great... Only thing I can't seem to get with is the Bruce's illegitimate link with Superman
I'm loving all the plot twists
Just finished the first batman unburied and it's so gooood!!
Sounds like a Game of DC Throwns.
Joker getting a green lantern ring!? The hell?!
I love these issues reading them was great I wanna see more of them
The Green Lantern Who Laughs.
General Waller I have forgotten about that
My brain will not accept this.
