    The scene when Batman laughs (HA!) after Superman tells him a Joker-ized child tries to rip out the throat of a psychologist was chilling, and the first sign of Batman's descent... I think you should have emphasized that. But as always, awesome review!

      To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back. You see... A Batman who laughs... is a Batman who always wins. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

      @@victorjechart2179 it's a false quote. If superman really wanted to all he needs is one punch to absolutely obliterate the batman who laughs. Kryptonite or not the batman who laughs doesn't have the reflexes even less so the speed or strength of superman. If Superman said you know what I'm going to land just one quick punch and not hold back. The batman who laughs becomes dust.

    I just noticed that in all of these the story can be summarised as "Batman gave up" gave up on his ideals and gave up on holding back. At which point im reminded of JLU where Batman claims his one superpower is that he "never gives up". When Superman gets depowered he becomes an ordinary guy, when Batman gets depowered he destroys universes.

      This batman in particular is by far the most messed up of the group. I was probably exaggerating a bit. The rest of the dark knights just kill people. So 6 or 7 since they don't show most of the killings he does. Its great though. Instead of the normal Batman vs Justice League stuff we get Batmen who have powers to go against the Justice League. Breaks the "because I'm Batman" fluff.

    This is for ppl who didn't approve of the story.
    I don't think this was phoned in it made sense. Joker's toxins have a history of turning ppl in seconds if not out right killing them.
    He was infected when he killed the Joker. Toxins always effect the brain first.
    You ppl forget that at the end of the day, Batman is a human. Period.
    Resisting just cause his will is that strong is hilarious to me.
    His origin couldn't happen any other way.
    When he told Superman what happened, Superman more than anybody should have locked him up and had him scanned.
    Hell when they were talking Batman literally gave Supes the biggest hint he wasn't right.
    He randomly laughed at something not funny at all concerning children.
    If you know Batman, that should have been a dead give away.

      Its likely that OUR Batman has surmised a permanent vaccine to himself making him highly resistant to it while the one who laughs either forgot or dismissed the threat of the toxin once he found the cure.

      HindsightPOV okay, but fair warning to anyone else
      *SPOILER ALERT*
      I'm kinda rusty on the details since it's been a while, so if anyone spots a mistake, feel free to correct me:
      at that game, Batman kills the Joker indirectly, sort of, in the previous game...
      Okay lets go back to the 1st game first, Arkham Asylum, Joker is trucking Bane into giving him his Venom. Joker then uses it to make him this super buff version of himself and also making a lot of super goons with it. The thing is he kinda dabbles with the formula to make it his own, so after Batman defeated him, it leaves the Joker mortally ill.
      In the 2nd game, Arkham City, Joker works with Clayface into tricking Batman that he's okay, that he's recovered after their previous meeting. He planned this whole take over on Arkham that is now it's own island and basically the size of Manhattan (because making a whole town of crazy criminals is a good idea it seems) to hide the fact that he's dying. But before he died, he had scattered his blood to blood banks, tainted with his concoction of his and Bane's venom he got from previous game, long story short, they got into a fight, and it was revealed that the "healthy" looking Joker was Clayface and Joker is indeed sick and dying and he once again turned into gigantic venom infused Joker, which resulted in his death.
      At the 3rd game, the plot revolved around Scarecrow trying to take over Gotham by spreading his toxin all over the city, he's being helped by someone dressed as a military type Batman who seemed to have a grudge against Batman (Spoiler: it turns out to be Jason Todd)
      Because the Joker is dead, the main plot seemed to have no connection to the Joker, but then we see Batman have hallucinations of Joker, we first thought it was just his guilt for "killing" the Joker, but then we find out that Batman did not caught all of the Joker's tainted blood in the previous game, he missed a couple, resulting in 3 random people turning into the Joker, there was a 4th man who got it and he send Tim to find him, but it was a wild goose chase because Bruce was that 4th man. That's why he's seeing these Joker hallucinations, he was slowly turning into Joker. In the end Batman uses an overwhelming amount of Scarecrow's fear toxin onto himself to "scare away" the Joker inside him (well Scarecrow is the one injecting him, but he thought he was injecting it to make Batman died of fear, well you know it's all in Batman's plan)
      Well that's it I think, and I'm only focusing on the Joker plot, and not the whole game, because there's a lot of over arching plot in that game.

Lol The problem is that Batman would murder the Joker in that because evil placed into genius beats good placed into nonsense any day.

I mean here is this man they fought with for the majority of their lives and see as a sort of father figure, and then he murders them?! And they see it coming. Jason even realizes it soon enough where he is able to pull out both of his guns. Also, judging just from the picture, it doesn't look like they all died instantaneously; meaning they had time to process tgat they were going to die and who was responsible for their deaths. For me, the death of the Batfamily was equally as shocking as the murder of the Kent family, if not more so.

      There is no real difference though. The actual multiverse in DBS is where the second Zeno came from, the "Multiverse" Zeno is from is just a segmented Universe(think something like Battleworld).

    If Joker Batman can do this, why can't Earth-3 version of Batman (Owlman) can be this evil?

    • @BPoe07
      @BPoe07 7 ปีที่แล้ว +70

      Because it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. Consider: The Owlman is an inverted Batman, but not literally Backwards Batman. He isn't Batzarro. Only some aspects of Owlman are the opposite of Batman's at any given time, and even then the result is more likely to be corrupt/twisted than straight-up backwards.
      Basically, Batzarro is a Zen Idiot who is slick without even knowing it. His Inner Dialogue literally is his Outer Dialogue.
      Owlman is an aspiring Mafia Boss. So not the Apex Predator of crime fighters, so much as he is the ultimate Wise Guy, or inside man. He's the guy who makes it work. He knows all of the cheats and who to blackmail at any given time. So not how to stop injustice, but how to USE injustice.
      TBWL? He's entirely different. He's a form of Batman from an unstable parallel Earth that existed ONLY to create a Batman with the Joker's "moral center". This Batman's entire world conspired to, and existed to make damned sure he would become as depraved as his worst enemy, all while keeping most of his intellect and resources. Batman's money, skills and weaponry meets the Joker's impulse to depravity and anarchy.
      Owlman could be this evil, but it would look very different. The children would die first, then the dogs and cats, all in the most gruesome ways possible. Then the water and electricity would go out, followed by any and all radio or cell tower broadcasts. And nobody would know who was doing it really. There would be no proof--or the proof would point to someone else instead. And in a weekend, tops, the surviving adults would be out to murder each other out of paranoia and suspicion.

      @BPoe07 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thanks for the compliment. I'm not sure I've earned it--I'm not half the fan of comic books I used to be. I collected them once. : )
      That last paragraph about Owlman was me riffing on a _Twilight Zone_ concept to be candid.
      But it really speaks to me of that character: in both Grant Morrison's Syndicate and the _Forever Evil_ one, to an extent, Owlman was always the lateral thinker, either asking "How can I use this?" or "Who do I use to get results?" He's way less direct and linear a thinker than Batman is (seeing as how Bruce sees Deductive Logic, and Evidence, as the be-all-end-alls). Bruce solves crimes, Thomas Jr. picks victims.
      In some ways the version of him in _Crisis on Two Earths_ (the animated feature) was an aberration. That nihilist Owlman was way too direct. **lol** It was out of necessity--there's no insidious, corrupt way to build a planet-buster nuke and use it--but still. : )
      In some critical ways--laughing, using guns, mocking the Robins--The Batman Who Laughs follows Bizarro Logic almost as much as Batzarro does, being literally reversed for its own sake (using the tool of crime, not being serious, being a creep to young orphaned boys).

    I hate to disagree with you but I feel like the Joker was always this dark. after the Tim Burton Batman movie, the joker (along with the rest of the Batman Universe) got more dark and sinister. I'll agree that after the New 52 reboot series he matches with the 30s style Joker more but closely but the Joker was always relatively dark before that happened.

    Joker actually got pretty dark in the 80’s and 90’s. Also we cannot forget how Neal Adams and Dennis O’Neal brought back the sadistic/comedic Joker that we know and love.

    No one seems to focus on the fact that the things that drove every other Dark Night evil are the things that this one willingly does. I think that may be a reason why the rest turn on him
