I really wish stuff like this happened and was more permanent. Scarecrow gets a Yellow Lantern ring, makes sense in Batman and Green Lantern mythos and makes the comics feel more whole and connected. Maybe Cheetah joins the league of assassins, or Heat Wave and Firefly team up as they're both extremely obsessed with fire.
Re: Batman as an intimidating presence - I would love to see another Batman movie with just an ounce of humor left in it. Nothing too silly. For example: The audience watches obvious but small drug deal go down. Next shot, one of the guys on the corner is in a back alley, smoking a joint. He quickly finishes, turns a corner, and Batman is a few yards back in the shadows but still barely visible. Stoner pauses, makes eye contact with Bats, awkwardly points at himself as if to admit his guilt, and Bats shakes his head without breaking his gaze. Stoner counts his lucky stars as he quietly and swiftly gets the hell out of there. Bats jumps into unrelated action moments later. This scene brought to you by marijuana! Keep up the great videos, Rob!
No argument there. A few years ago I had to give up beer (weird stomach issues) but when I initially thought I had to give up alcohol in general I would seriously walk around muttering "I'll burn Gotham to the ground" under my breath. No alcohol turns me into a super villain. I don't want to think about what no weed would do to me.
We all know already that this is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth ..........................................................................................................................................Rob
@@floogon_gameing6987 No, it is his musuem of sorts. He has collections of all the most notable moments in his life. Like the large penny in his Bat's Cave (originally what it was called). It was connected to a villain that was so awful. The creators of the guy just killed him off the first time he appeared. That villain "Penny Pilfer". He only stole pennies. Though after they ran that guy out of existence. The new story. That Penny is connected to Two-Face. The T-Rex. The Joker used it once.
You missed a very cool idea. The Lanterns think Batman's crazy that Sinestro Corps is involved, and believe it's just Scarecrow Batman thinks it's not Scarecrow, it's too big for him. It's Sinestro Corps or something similar. Truth is they are BOTH right and BOTH wrong, meaning despite they didn't like it, they actually complement each other quite well, building up to the ending.
Whenever I hear rob say "Let me tell you something Rob core" I can imagine him being a old man yanking at my ear like he is about to give me one of those grandpa lectures.
DUDE FINALLY YOU START READING SINESTRO COR WAR!! I first read the entire book about 4 years ago and it took me about 9 hours to read the whole thing, but I didn't appreciate it's awesomeness till just this year's after learning about all these origins and stories
@@Ashephalt That was Injustice. Which is a totally different Universe. Green Arrow calls his little hideout...Arrow Cave...yeah he was never an original character. Even creators commented on it to. He was supposed to be "Poorer version of Batman means Robin Hood."
@@Qardo He wasn't supposed to be that, he literally was. When Green Arrow started, he was literally Robin Hood with another name. And then they added the Arrow Cave, Arrow Signal, Arrowmobile, and a young sidekick that makes you question the sexuality of the superhero in question. Question.
Blackest Night is my all time favorite comic book related story in any medium; comics, animation, movies etc. I'm jealous of anyone that gets to read it for the first time.
So this takes place shortly before Bane comes to Gotham. I love the tidbit about Bats preparing for his arrival as well as him telling Simon Boz about joining him. That part was ominous.
Yup, it was only a matter of time before Scarecrow harnessed the ultimate power of fear. I was a bit disappointed however that it came down to such a tawdry motive. You'd think Crane would become one of the most powerful yellow lanterns ever. An arc requiring much lengthier story telling. Then again, even with such power, I doubt he could beat Batman, so maybe it's appropriate it went down like it did.
Simon Bazz:I'm gonna dual wield a Green Lantern Ring and Gun in combat Bruce:actually no you don't,I mean it would be cool if you use a lantern ring to battle a foe while simultaneously firing bullets from a distance,but you pretty much only use the gun after your defeated,which makes the gun completely useless to someone like Bane
+Comics Explained Could do some Star Wars Legends comics like Tales of the Jedi, Legacy I and II, and Dark TImes or some Archie Sonic comics like House of Cards?
Blackest Night is even better if you can read all the singles in the order of release. The trades good, but you can miss a few scenes that are in the companion trades. Needs an Omnibus. Brightest Day is a great follow up. More of a conclusion to Blackest Night. You are in for a treat Rob. Can't wait for the video!
I liked this story it was short and very direct. you did a excellent job conveying the point of growth in Simon's character as a green lantern which was the main focal point. keep up the great work bro and ill keep liking and commenting on your awesome videos!
The best Green Lantern test of will came in the 1980s GL Corp comics. Some Green Lanterns would dive into a yellow star to test their wills. If they're strong they'll come out fine, but if they waiver or weak they would die. It was really cool! Other cool facts is these issue of backstories have Alan Moore as a writer. In one of them is where Blackest Night comes from along with the Red Lanterns planet.
What if the actual reason Batman is trying to help Simon is because he's afraid he might become a villain. Think about it he has a green lantern and he's relying on something else for strength. People like that are more likely to blame themselves for something they had a small part in. Which could later in turn influence his change of heart to be a villain
I never understood Simon Baz's logic. What good is his little handgun when his ring goes out and he's up against Solomon Grundy, or a Sun Eater, or Mongul? There's a plethora of powerful villains that would piss their pants laughing at his pea shooter.
Well, Solomon's powerlevel depends on the incarnation. Also GL don't always deal with bulletproof threats. The gun's not a bad idea, but for Simon it's obviously somesort of comfort blanket.
Great! Yet again Scarecrow gets a ring and he still remains featless... I want to see him do something badass, you know, since all he lives for is to feel fear... Maybe overthrow the Sinestro corps kinda like Guy did with the red lanterns?
Rob, Scarecrow also got a Sinestro Corp ring for a second time during the Sinestro comics when the Pale Bishop attacked earth and the Sinestro Corp defended earth against him.
I know you can't but damn dude I would love to see pure Batman content from you. also amazing job dude. If anyone is reading this, does Rob have a patreon or any independent way I can throw some cash his way? Dude has easily passed my benchmark for someone I want to support.
Could you do a video on unworthy Thor. I'm interested in what they are doing with hela and thanos especially since they are introducing hela in the marvel cinematic universe and death and thanos always have a interesting dynamic.
I really liked this story, not a lot to offer, but it was cool...the exchanges were fun. And as far as I know the rings can kill anyone deemed an enemy of the corps
Dude, may I know the tunes you used before the video ended? It has chill beats. Also, I read Blackest Night before Gods among Us, and yea, it is one of the best stories DC has, hope you can find time to read and make a video of it.
Hey rob. Love your vids man. You know I had a thought. What if lanterns went the way of dual emotion? I only ask cause a concept presented itself to me. Guy Gardner can manipulate both a green and red ring.
Its surprising to me that they havent created a story where Batman gets a yellow lantern ring, the whole thing behind his character as well as his most powerful weapon has always been fear.
Actually, Simon's right for having a gun as a "last resort". The lantern rings have a finite power reserve & there's 1 thing the ring can't create in which the user can think of.....a lantern power battery.
rainey I have a belief the human mind is fickle so for your their may be a pebble but someone else they have a mountain to climb so even if this psychological problem is nothing to you its bad for them.
The lanterns couldn’t harm members of Sinestro’s species, because the female Oans took refuge with the males of that species. In order to prevent it from looking like they were being petty, the Guardians set the main power battery to explode if they or one of their agents harmed one of that species
Simon Baz is fine. It is a little weird that there are so many earth lanterns, especially since they'll inevitably all be active at the same time at some point - but he character himself is totally fine.
I'd love it you'd keep doing BATMAN stuff that's not expressly "classic" Batdude stuff. What I mean is, the stuff that has him out in left field, like the Metal series and this one. Batman is really the only thing that keeps my interest when it come to DC,.
Simon has the gun just in case his ring loses power on a mission. That happens to Hal all the time and he never has a back up plan. Simon isn't an idiot, he recognizes that the 24 hour time limit is a serious weakness and he's taken a step to insure that he's not caught defenseless. It's not about seeing himself as less capable.
Purnell Collins that's what he was saying but that wasn't the truth and batman saw right through him but he could still carry the gun around as a back up just in case his ring does fail
Well, if I saw Batman staring at me I'd think I'd gone mad or there was a crazy person staring at me. If Batman was staring at the DC comics version of me (which is weird to think about), I'd be happy! It's Batman! I'd be like "Yo, waddup B-Man!"
I have an idea I'd like to see you too old story arcs like fall of the mutants things along that line with your new style of station that would be f****** awesome
Scarecrow + yellow lantern powers = true terror
they should really make him a mainstay lantern already or give him a underling that turns into a lantern permanently
I agree
I seriously think they should make scarecrow a permanent yellow ring
Bane + red lantern powers =
Idk
Bane and green ring, he has alot of willpower
I wish they would have done more with Yellow Lantern Scarecrow, The ring of fear suits him so well..
The Lanterns do not get a cave ... They should get a Lighthouse.
LOL

I love how enthusiastic he is and how much you can tell he loves comics and doing these videos
I really wanna know the story of why batman has a giant mechanical t-rex in the cave.
Are you saying that you wouldn't if you were ritch?

"We should get a Lantern Cave!"
Don't you have an entire planet?

Yes Rob, the Geoff johns green lantern stuff is the best! I'm so hyped for the videos will make on them.
Last time I came this early my girlfriend left me.
Hahaha, damn

feel awful that I just understood this joke.
Should have told her to be more generous.

To read Blackest Night and Brightest Day again for the first time...wow, they're absolutely incredible lol.

@BBnanner Can't the same argument be made for all of Batman's batarangs and small level explosives?
Crystal Lantern corps debuting in August.
I'm very excited, their costumes are freaking boss as hell.
Rob you need a T-shirt with "If God were writing comics right now..." on it.
Awesome video rob
Great! Yet again Scarecrow gets a ring and he still remains featless... I want to see him do something badass, you know, since all he lives for is to feel fear... Maybe overthrow the Sinestro corps kinda like Guy did with the red lanterns?
Ooh, just wait ;D Blackest Night will blow your mind!
Read Sinestro's solo run too! So good!
Rob, Scarecrow also got a Sinestro Corp ring for a second time during the Sinestro comics when the Pale Bishop attacked earth and the Sinestro Corp defended earth against him.
Simons gun is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth, FANBOYYYY YAEAHHHHH
Love your videos man!
how to kill apocalypse would make a great video rob! what do you say?
Unleash FOX on him! He'll never be the same
Love this channel
Love Geoff John's GL stuff.
That spinal tap reference was spectacular!
ComicsExplained You gotta do Blackest Night!!!! Pretty Please with a little Nekron on top? 😇😇
love the review! and can yah bring back Infinity Wars series?
Your excitement is great
there have been multiple moments when lantern ring have failed that is why Simon carries a gun
Holy shit. batman gave a compliment?! Simon baz must be pretty damn special
I love Rob XD Like everything is the best thing coming out of something right now XD
Sinestro Corp War is amazing better then anything else in the Geoff Johns run and that says something
Would love videos on the Sinestro Core War at some point :P
You should do some red lantern stories they're really good.
Batman's always looking for someone to control/mold. He saw an incomplete man and took advantage
Can you do a ComicsExplained Oneshot? or maybe a RobCorp Oneshot?
This was good and all but can we please talk about the BEAT DOWN Guy gave Arkillo?
5:07... huh now I know why J.K. Simmons has the Com. Gordon role, it literally looks just like him in that panel
I know you can't but damn dude I would love to see pure Batman content from you. also amazing job dude. If anyone is reading this, does Rob have a patreon or any independent way I can throw some cash his way? Dude has easily passed my benchmark for someone I want to support.

💯
I am now going to totally check out Stoney River!👍
I really liked this story, not a lot to offer, but it was cool...the exchanges were fun. And as far as I know the rings can kill anyone deemed an enemy of the corps
Rob, the Lanterns have an entire PLANET. They don't need a cave haha
You should cover Alan Moore's Abin Sur Blackest Night Prophecy One Shot, it's really short and a good classic story from the 80's
hey Comics explained do you live in Louisville Kentucky???

"If god were writing [insert comic]"
I really want this to become the next RobCorps meme
That spinal tap reference though!!!
Loving the green Lantern series so far. Is this offically the next series you are gonna be working on??
Batman might end up calling when the whole Watchmen thing comes into play full-force. I feel like that's where everything is building up to.
So, will you eventually cover those other GL story arcs?
Its surprising to me that they havent created a story where Batman gets a yellow lantern ring, the whole thing behind his character as well as his most powerful weapon has always been fear.
Scarecrow being a yellow lantern is awesome. I like this direction, but maybe tone back the crazy a few notches.
Actually, Simon's right for having a gun as a "last resort". The lantern rings have a finite power reserve & there's 1 thing the ring can't create in which the user can think of.....a lantern power battery.
Please do a video on the character Deaths Head! Cool character that not many know about.
Intergalactic GL Simon need's a gun is silly, why not get a energy handgun from some exotic alien civilization NOPE just a regular ol'9mm
I really enjoy Simon. He juked most of the justice league when he first started. Including the flash.
FANBOY! I just bought a black lantern hat too! GOD I LOVE THE GL MYTHOS
Love the Stony River name drop
Sinestro Core War is the best thing coming out of DC Pre-rebirth.

Purnell Collins that's what he was saying but that wasn't the truth and batman saw right through him but he could still carry the gun around as a back up just in case his ring does fail
Batman "seeing through him" is just writers trying to make Simon abandon his piece.
Joe FixitTM This seems like a slight retcon on their part.
Yeah, the story is too contrived in terms of the gun issue (imo).
Well, if I saw Batman staring at me I'd think I'd gone mad or there was a crazy person staring at me.

Hey rob will you be going over I am bane? When it does finish
