and Brainiac got outsmarted by Lex Luthor in Red Son. Who's Superman's archnemesis. Also what good is wisdom of Solomon when it's barely ever useful in the comics? Nearly every foe Batman had faced are genius compared to any rogue-galleries and with Super-strength on both sides the playing field is just as equal, if not in Devastator's favor. Beating Devastator would mostly take thinking as tactical as Batman and not a forward fight.
KillerArmyStyle Superman is pretty easy to outsmart, especially this version who is like comics ,explained said, emotional and less rational. Not only that but Batman is probably a better fighter then new 52 Superman in terms of technique, Superman just has too much power for those techniques to work. Now that they are on a even playing field, Batman should be able to beat Superman
"I want you to know that I saved them, Clark. Lois, Jimmy, all of them, your whole damned city. I finally gave them the strength they needed to see through that easy smile and that damned colorful shield. I hardened their hearts so that they will never believe in the cruel fairy tale world you told them was the truth." - The Devastator.
He turned his body into a weapon and hardened his heart to others. Even to hope. Definitely nothing like our Batman. And he did it all at the cost of never being able to reach his back ever again.
This was an easy guess for me. A doomsday Batman, is so very terrifying. Like legit scary. Honestly, all of these Batmen are scary. Killing Machine was the scariest to me at simply because the Human side of Batman was the only thing that didn't make him a walking horror movie. But Devastator? What are you going to do?
"See, down in our realm, worlds are created by all you people up here. You fear or hope for something, and it births a world. They tell us we're your Bruce's great fears come to life. Like say, oh, I don't know, one day you get out of control and he experiments with the Doomsday Virus to stop you and destroys the planet? The thing is, each of us has killed you - all of you - on our worlds. We cross the lines he's scared to. Which actually begs the questions... Are we really his fears? Or are we his desires? Food for thought."
Seeing as Devastator is basically Batman with Doomsday's physique and powers, I think a fight between him and Shazam would come down to Devastator's intellect being the deciding factor
Rob, this idea of the “Doomsday Virus” comes out of a story in the New 52 I believe is called “Superman Doom” where the New 52 Superman was exposed to said virus...
He already made a video on that comic, and I’m guessing he didn’t mention it because it wasn’t important enough to the story at large. Also Devastator Batman is from a different universe than Earth prime so the Doomsday Virus in his case may be entirely separate from the doomsday virus your talking about.
Balloushop13 First of all, I don’t think he covered it and for good reason, Comicstorian did though from where I’m looking, and second they called The Devastators condition not a matter of DNA Splicing but a virus in the Dark Knights Metal comic I believe in issue 3 the Batman who laughs called it a virus especially with all of metropolis turning into Doomsday, there’s no other word besides plague or virus to describe The Devastator and of what’s happening in metropolis...
I'm not sure if I remember clearly or I'm just assuming at this point. But if I recall, when I played DCUO, I remember fighting Doomsday as well as many others in Smallville who were infected with the Doomsday virus. (This is just a little tid-bit just because. Doesn't have anything to do with Metal or Devastator but I just wanted to show another time when the concept was used)
Seriously, like how in the collective fuck are they supposed to come back from this, Superman and Wonder Woman, practically got one-shot by BarBATos, and all the other heroes all just getting their asses kicked. Forget the Doomsday Clock Event for Dr. Manhattan and finding out who the hell Mr. Oz is, it's all about figuring out who the hell The Batman Who Laughs and BarBATos is.
Honestly, I feel like some version of Injustice: Gods Among Us exists down in the Dark Multiverse, since it's technically a nightmare scenario, and that's what the Dark Multiverse is all about.
@@praveenvijeyakumar741 Am I the only one who wants to see The Batman Who Laughs and his partners (Like Doomsday Batman) as the main villains of Injustice 3 (The Final Boss Of That Games Story Mode)? If Not them. Then I want to see Anti Monitor as the main big bad threat in Injustice 3.
@@dylansmith5206 If The Batman Who Laughs showed up in the Injustice universe, I guarantee that he'd kill everyone in less than a month. After all, in TBWL's universe, he killed off The Justice League for no other reason that because he could. In fact, now that I think about it, if TBWL showed up in the Injustice universe, he'd probably kill everyone except for Superman, then make Superman his mind-controlled slave or something (A Superman Who Laughs?), like a reverse of the bad ending of Injustice 2.
You forgot to mention that IMMEDIATELY after the Devastator breathed Kryptonite onto Superman, some crazy spines burst out of his chest and killed him instantly. That's OP.
RemixZX correct me if I'm wrong but can't doomsday emit those spikes out of his body through the ground and into stuff? Because it was pretty sure that it looked like a whole bunch of spikes just burst out of the ground in the next frame
Rob, it's like reading a comic with a buddy man! Def my fave channel! I know I heard you say that no one quite knows what the dark multiverse is and you have said that you think its a place where all the bad stuff happens. My theory based off the comics so far is that it is where everyones worst fears manifest and unlike the positive multiverse there aren't 52 universes but it is unlimited. Yes, Damian IS THE BEST ROBIN! My fave too man!
Or like Rob says is a universe where every wrong decision is made rather than a good one. And DC was pretty adamant on the fact that there is only 52 universes after infinite crisis.
dubiehouser i have to give my favorite to dick. Super awesome character. Definitely now in rebirth, wadnt great in new 52 i will admit but still decent still love knightwing
Kasim I heard that! But I notice the comics keep having these nightmare batmen say “were your worst fears” its a recurring theme. Just a thought brother! while they do say there are only 52 universes, i think thats true for the positive multiverse, but nor for the dark multiverse. If you notice when Kendra turns over the map of the 52 universes and shows the back, it doesn’t show 52 parallel universes its just all black.
Travis McElroy Nothing wrong with that pick man! I got a nostalgic love for Dick Grayson. Tbh Im not a huge night-wing fan, but he is def a good character. I think Damian embodies the most likeness to Batman and is closer to what I always thought Robin shld and cld be.. a BADASS! but Dick Grayson is still a solid pick bro!
I've got a theory too. Since Devastator Batman comes from Earth -1, I think what happened was a reverse of an Earth 1 story involving Batman getting possessed by the Dark Entity. Instead of him, its Superman who gets possessed and we see how the rest unfolds. The Dark Entity's form or name is never revealed and it would be amazing if it was actually revealed to be Barbatos himself. The parallels with the Devastator's story are there: 1.Batman goes insane and Superman believes whatever is controlling him can be fought and throughout it never gives up on Batman. (while Devastator first believes the same he eventually gives up hope) 2. The Dark Entity makes Superman go into dark despair to believe hes failed everyone and will fail everyone (Failed Krypton, his parents, will fail and Batman) Devastator believes just this. 3. Batman believes Superman gives everyone hope despite how dark things get (Devastator believes this is a lie) "Superman, don't listen! Yes, you've failed, we all have..but think of all the people you've helped..THEY need you..I need you..the WORLD needs you!" 4. The Dark Entity and Bartbatos come from a different universe, both use Batman as essential to their plan and have OP Batman duplicates as their army, both are demons, and were both summoned to the world via occult magic, are worshiped as gods etc.
When I read each of the one shots I use a different Batman actor's voice to separate them and make them more unique. Also I noticed how each of the dark knight's seems to have an amplified quality if Batman resulting in them doing something radical. Red death: his desperation The Dawnbreaker:his will and darkness inside him The murder machine:his bond with Alfred The drowned:his trust issues The Devastator:his view of superman The merciless:his warrior side
i love how i got into this series and bought this exact issue yesterday and anxiously awaited for rob to cover it and get his thoughts on it, thank you for the inspiration to get back into comics man
I've been waiting for this tie-in to drop and for Rob to cover it, also it's bad enough Doomsday is already Op as shit, now there a Batman version of him, he can practically singlehandedly take out the positive DC universe by himself if he wanted.
Batman with prep time alone is beyond Omega level... Now that he has a (possibly enhanced) version of Doomsday's powers he's "at least" on par with cosmic entities like the Celestia's. The thing is that he isn't bound by cosmic laws because he's still 'technically' a mortal... so if he were to say go for something like the Infinity Gauntlet or Lantern Core battery then who could really stop him?
Gray The Odd I'm gonna laugh my ass of when the justice league unite return and rip these dark knights to shreds with nth metal. Dumbest weakness ever. Basically hawkgirl can solo these guys
I need more of this story!! Keep it coming! Marvel will always be my first choice but man these stories coming out of DC the last few years are on point!
People forget the doomsday vs hulk video. Hulk can get stronger than doomsday and will ultimately be way stronger physically. Then there's Batman, I feel he could come up with a way, butbi have no idea how, bu5 considering he'll always come back to life I think he wwould win in the end
I think Devastator Batman comes from the injustice universe. Batman upon seeing what he thought was The Joker says,” I thought he killed you” referring to Superman. The only DC Universe out there where Superman kills The Joker and goes rogue is the injustice universe which would also make sense as the injustice 2 comics are still being released so the concept of this happening is still fresh in the writers minds.
Robi J. Javelosa plot twist, it's actually Alfred after watching batman get killed. idk haven't seen anyone else say that theory yet so spread the word.
Why isn't Comics Explained, not just the official source for everything comics, but the ONLY source? Rob's knowledge of comics is by far superior than any other "comic book" channel, that it makes any other reference irrelevant. Having Rob's content available online isn't good enough. Humanity needs to focus it's resources to at the very least, preserve Rob's brain, even though he deserves to have a young body every generation, by having society sacrifice it's youth for the privilege. We live to follow the Word of Comics Explain.
Hey rob what is better : Dark knight or the ozz effect? Sinestro corps war or blackest night Long halloween or killing joke All star superman or for the man who have everything? And infinity gounlet or crisis on infinite earth?
Dark Knight > Oz effect Blackest Night > Sinestro Corps War imo Killing Joke > Long Halloween All star Superman > For the Man who have everything Crisis on Infinite Earths > Infinity Gauntlet Just my opinion...
Oz effect had been a disappointment so the only Dark Knight stories it would beat would are Frank Miller's post Dark Knight Returns ones and that's not too hard either (minus may be Master Race which I heard was good). Blackest Knight is either better or equal to Sinestro Corps war. Killing Joke and Long Halloween are great stories, but the former takes the cake. All Star Superman and For the man who has everything both are equally good. Crisis beats infinity by several steps.
I'm not going to lie at all. Metal is just so good that every issue is like gold. You just want more of it and for it to never end. Just so damn amazing.
A curious thing is that injustice was never clearly stated to be part of the dark multiverse or the 52 .. so if you think about it and it's actually a 'positive world' all things considered. Especially with the other Justice league coming from the main universe 'i think' . Then there's a dark multiverse version of that works.. and as we know what happens varies but with metal and death metal we know there's a lot of evil batmen... So in my head canon unless they say it. With how the batman who laughs and it's watcher tempest something-naught said each have a a dark parallel.. for me the dark injustice world instead of Superman going dark it's Batman that does.. It's read the crap out of this story and still listen to it later if they made it lol
@@wugglesx Honestly, I feel like Injustice itself would take place somewhere in the Dark Multiverse, since it's a nightmare scenario where Superman snaps and turns evil.
@@praveenvijeyakumar741 tough to judge really in the first inside Batman wins but 2 is left open with a bad end and 'good' end in the bad end with Superman winning i would be on the dark multiverse side 100% but the Batman ending even with all the losses had more hope than any of the dark multiverse stories we've heard so far
Am I the only one that was picking up on the Batman v Superman nods in this issue lol the spear, Doomsday growing back his right hand and Superman getting stabbed in the chest
Devastator Batman reminds me a lot of General Wade Iling from JLU. Unlike the general, however, Batman's actions were justified. I can't fault him at all.
The One Who Laughs has to be the Batman from Death In The Family. When he first shows up the Robins all look like the Grayson Robin but Jason also used the same style of uniform. When they start eating the Owls they all keep saying crow. They only stop when he says bar. Crowbar. After Jason's death he killed the Joker and when mad. Hoping this is a segway that bring Red Hood and The Outlaws into the event.
Awesome, you believe the theory I gave you in the superchat! Both the Batman who laughs and the Joker from TKJ reference the "one bad day" scenario. It's something that's likely popped up with other Jokers by now. But I think, given the circumstances, Batman killing the Joker in the Killing Joke, then turning into the Joker himself is the most satisfying conclusion -- so why not? Lol. We can dream.
The Batman who laughs is a Batman that killed Joker. When Joker died, his heart released a gas that slowly turned Batman into the Joker overtime. And he kills all the members of the Batman family.
Sharil Shahed Billy Batson is just a 10 yr old kid even though he has the wisdom of Solomon. I think if shazam uses his power to its potential n superman being weak to magic he can beat him. If Dr fate has capacity to beat superman then y not shazam??
Hey, Rob. What every happened to all the Watchmen stuff? We got the Jor-El reveal, but what came of that? Is that related to Metal at all? The only way I can think of for the good guys to win is to have Dr. Manhattan to do it...
Devastator Batman, because you are giving Batman, one of the most intelligent people on earth, with the strength and immortality of Doomsday. Shazam would be fucked.
Hey Rob trying to read Batman., been away from comics for awhile ., any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Love the show. Keep it going man!!!
The scariest thing about the Devastator is that adapting the Doomsday strain to be used and controlled as a contingency for a rogue Superman not only sounds like something that our Batman WOULD do, but it's entirely possible that he HAS, but hasn't had to use it yet.
I’m curious, has Shazam ever fought doomsday before? I mean I understand Shazam is a bit of a power house I think he could take on doomsday but the devastator is umm a whole new level. But damn I would like to see Shazam and devastator fight it out!
Rob I think there is a comic where lobo and doomsday fought. And I think it's in convergence. I could be wrong on that but I think that's where lobo and doomsday fought one on one.
In a “taking everything I’ve red and seen” from justice league tv adaptations to comic issues. It would be an easy win for devastador. Shazam has one of many signature moves that stands out where he literally bear hugs you from the back and calls out Shazam to strike lighting at you without you being able to brake free “depending on who your are superhero wise”. But Batman being Batman and having the strength of doomsday he would easily apply some of his knowledge to the fight and flip Shazam around like Superman did in justice league unlimited I think and turn him back into billy. Billy has the wisdom of a god but the character of a kid still and would inevitably die.
I need a Devastator vs Lobo Round 2. Also, Robb misses his important point of Superman's Stories (or most of them). Superman ALWAYS saves Lois Lane. But in this Dark Universe, Superman Kills Lois Lane with his own hands, Batman didn't lose his hope because of the betrayal of his friend, he lose his hope because Superman Kills his own family, something that Batman despise in the order of the dead of his parents, and how his relationship grows with Clark. It's a sad but interesting story for Superman's fans. Can we trust in the hope that Superman give us or we are just let in us be tricked in ilusions? Damn... that was a hard good METAL Tie-in.
A fight between Devestater BATMAN and Shazam? I'm guessing the winner would be Whoever the writers would want to be. Isn't that how it's always done? Appreciate you Rob!
Shazam, since Doomsday was created by adapting to the harsh environment of Krypton he's for all intent and purposes, a monster version of an evolved Kryptonian. And this mean, since one of the biggest weaknesses of Kryptonian is magic, Shazam could beat Devastator Batman, since he has magical powers.
When "DoomsBat" was questioning the Batman who Laughed, he calls him Joker and says " I thought he killed you ..." . That implies rather heavily that Devastator Batman's origin align very closely to the Injustice story line where Superman kills Joker. Superman going rogue and killing Lois then, with no explanation killing other heroes and villains fits almost exactly to Injustice. Which also acknowledged Doomsday in its own canon . You're welcome Rob.
Ok so this may be a total dumb question, but is there a way for me to just get this storyline somewhere? Or is it a set or maybe all in one book somehow? Im totally new to comics, and don't have anywhere to get them other than the internet where i live. I am so blown away by what I'm learning here on this channel that there are a few storylines that id love to acquire but have no idea how to go about getting them without crossing over or getting the wrong thing.... THANK YOU!!!!
Devastator would win for sure. Doomsday as smart as Batman? You kidding me? That shit's broken.
Superman defeated a Doomsday who was as smart as Brainiac in a story called the The Doomsday Wars.
Not to mention Shazan is not stupid, his as wise as Saloman
and Brainiac got outsmarted by Lex Luthor in Red Son. Who's Superman's archnemesis. Also what good is wisdom of Solomon when it's barely ever useful in the comics?

I've got a theory too. Since Devastator Batman comes from Earth -1, I think what happened was a reverse of an Earth 1 story involving Batman getting possessed by the Dark Entity. Instead of him, its Superman who gets possessed and we see how the rest unfolds. The Dark Entity's form or name is never revealed and it would be amazing if it was actually revealed to be Barbatos himself.
The parallels with the Devastator's story are there:
1.Batman goes insane and Superman believes whatever is controlling him can be fought and throughout it never gives up on Batman. (while Devastator first believes the same he eventually gives up hope)
2. The Dark Entity makes Superman go into dark despair to believe hes failed everyone and will fail everyone (Failed Krypton, his parents, will fail and Batman) Devastator believes just this.
3. Batman believes Superman gives everyone hope despite how dark things get (Devastator believes this is a lie) "Superman, don't listen! Yes, you've failed, we all have..but think of all the people you've helped..THEY need you..I need you..the WORLD needs you!"
4. The Dark Entity and Bartbatos come from a different universe, both use Batman as essential to their plan and have OP Batman duplicates as their army, both are demons, and were both summoned to the world via occult magic, are worshiped as gods etc.

I think Devastator Batman comes from the injustice universe. Batman upon seeing what he thought was The Joker says,” I thought he killed you” referring to Superman. The only DC Universe out there where Superman kills The Joker and goes rogue is the injustice universe which would also make sense as the injustice 2 comics are still being released so the concept of this happening is still fresh in the writers minds.
ARMAG3D3N56
Very nice eyes there buddy you picked up on that too
ARMAG3D3N56 I agree.
It sound like injustice but The superman of injustice didnt Kill Loïs like this one, the Joker did it. But its certainly a reference
What if the One-who-laughs is Bruce Wayne/Batman that fell into the chemicals instead of joker (red hood at that time)??
Robi J. Javelosa plot twist, it's actually Alfred after watching batman get killed. idk haven't seen anyone else say that theory yet so spread the word.
hmmm that would actually be interesting to see
I'm 99% sure it's Joker pulling a heavy fuck you to Batman.
Ahaha if he says that..that would be helarious
SuperShanko no it's clearly the Batman from the end of the killing joke
One of my favorite channels of all time. I hope you do this foerver and I'll watch it foerver
But wasn’t the doomsday virus from the new 52 superman series
Tevya Smolka Yes it was
Even if its new 52 and its a crappy reboot, The virus is still a good useable asset.
Freshly Memed you may have a good point with the doomsday virus being a good asset to use
new52 Justice league is the best
Rebirth is relaunch of new52..... it's The same universe With same history... Rebirth is new52
the new52 was a dark time for DC but we're past that now
Why isn't Comics Explained, not just the official source for everything comics, but the ONLY source? Rob's knowledge of comics is by far superior than any other "comic book" channel, that it makes any other reference irrelevant. Having Rob's content available online isn't good enough. Humanity needs to focus it's resources to at the very least, preserve Rob's brain, even though he deserves to have a young body every generation, by having society sacrifice it's youth for the privilege. We live to follow the Word of Comics Explain.
Hey rob what is better :
Dark knight or the ozz effect?
Sinestro corps war or blackest night
Long halloween or killing joke
All star superman or for the man who have everything?
And infinity gounlet or crisis on infinite earth?
this blick Boi believes it is the whites who should rule
Oliver Meza
What?
Oliver Meza really? When did he say that? I almost unsubbed
Dark Knight > Oz effect
Blackest Night > Sinestro Corps War imo
Killing Joke > Long Halloween
All star Superman > For the Man who have everything
Crisis on Infinite Earths > Infinity Gauntlet
Just my opinion...
Oz effect had been a disappointment so the only Dark Knight stories it would beat would are Frank Miller's post Dark Knight Returns ones and that's not too hard either (minus may be Master Race which I heard was good).
Blackest Knight is either better or equal to Sinestro Corps war.
Killing Joke and Long Halloween are great stories, but the former takes the cake.
All Star Superman and For the man who has everything both are equally good.
Crisis beats infinity by several steps.
dude your content is amazing. i dont have the time or money to keep up so your synopsis of these things are a great listen.
I want My SHAZAM
Spoona Benson me too
BatZam? ShaBat? The Marvelous Batman? Captain Bat?:)
Emrys Wledig No he meant Shazam...that old name never really fit a guy with mystical powers anyway..
I'm not going to lie at all. Metal is just so good that every issue is like gold. You just want more of it and for it to never end. Just so damn amazing.
Rob, did you skip Merciless Batman?
uverdog no he didn’t. He made a video already
all these different batman is kinda awesome
A good alternative would have been a variation of the Injustice world where Batman was forced to use this to defeat Superman
A curious thing is that injustice was never clearly stated to be part of the dark multiverse or the 52 .. so if you think about it and it's actually a 'positive world' all things considered. Especially with the other Justice league coming from the main universe 'i think' . Then there's a dark multiverse version of that works.. and as we know what happens varies but with metal and death metal we know there's a lot of evil batmen...
So in my head canon unless they say it. With how the batman who laughs and it's watcher tempest something-naught said each have a a dark parallel.. for me the dark injustice world instead of Superman going dark it's Batman that does..
It's read the crap out of this story and still listen to it later if they made it lol
@@wugglesx Honestly, I feel like Injustice itself would take place somewhere in the Dark Multiverse, since it's a nightmare scenario where Superman snaps and turns evil.
@@praveenvijeyakumar741 tough to judge really in the first inside Batman wins but 2 is left open with a bad end and 'good' end in the bad end with Superman winning i would be on the dark multiverse side 100% but the Batman ending even with all the losses had more hope than any of the dark multiverse stories we've heard so far
I'd love for someone to ask the worried so we could hear their take on it
Lobo is so badass, loved that they made him an injustice character
So, when is the Merciless coming into play?
James Clark the second set of tie ins, starting with the Flash last week and then justice league crossover this week.
His origins already out if thats what your asking
That's what I was wondering, he did all the others in order and then skipped THE BEST ONE!
He already did Red Death, he did them all in order except for The Merciless
Slite Lee to be fair, he did murder Machine out of order too. But yeah I need to see him cover Merciless asap
Your channel is very well done, Rob. To it. 🌠
The real question is:
What if Doomsday became Batman?
All Roads lead to Darkness.
This made me laugh. All I can picture is a super intelligent Doomsday sitting down with his chin in his hand, pondering the meaning of life.
Am I the only one that was picking up on the Batman v Superman nods in this issue
lol the spear, Doomsday growing back his right hand and Superman getting stabbed in the chest
That was absolutely intentional. Good observation.
Devastator Batman reminds me a lot of General Wade Iling from JLU. Unlike the general, however, Batman's actions were justified. I can't fault him at all.
Explain "Batch H" and "Weapon H"
Kind of need that for some of the discussions going on below.
This Dark Knights Metal i$, by far, the greatest literary work of our generation.
Dark Knights Metal is just getting better and better!
What about a dark nights version of batman where he doesn't always get his origin story in every movie?
Dat Boi so basically any Batman movie that is a sequel
O shit waddup!
Dat Boi That would truly be a game changer.
MARTHA!!!
Literally BvS had no origin. Jeffery Dean Morgan and Maggie from The Walking Dead get shot. Martha.
Akanda Jenkins nope it still had an origin
Jon and Damian are amazing, that's why Superson's is so great!
What next batman becomes mogo (can’t remember how it’s spelled) the living planet
Ginger Nation Gaming i got you mate it's called ego the living planet
yours truly DEATH ego is marvel im talking about the GL planet
Ginger Nation Gaming thats oa
Oa is the Green lantern homebase but there's a conscious green lantern planet called Mogo, who is bad ass
ohhh yea I remembered him from the first blue lantern
The batman who laughs look like a combination of Judge death and chatterer (cenobite)
And i fucking love it!
Wait.. how did he keep the bat symbol on his chest?
Ginger Nation Gaming because he is bat doom
Scot Snyder:Fuck u that's how
"Cause I'm Batman." Is always the answer when handling those questions.
He might have Mutated as a Doomsday while in his Batsuit.
Freshly Memed - Don't try and bring logic to this. Away with you.
Hey Rob love your Channel do you have your coverage of dark metal listed in order some place?
This is to over powered this is to much
The One Who Laughs has to be the Batman from Death In The Family. When he first shows up the Robins all look like the Grayson Robin but Jason also used the same style of uniform. When they start eating the Owls they all keep saying crow. They only stop when he says bar. Crowbar. After Jason's death he killed the Joker and when mad. Hoping this is a segway that bring Red Hood and The Outlaws into the event.
devastator batman......... Please do a beyond omega level vid about Jirin from DBS......... ROBCORP!!!!
otaku Rob already say he is not doing anime series at this moment . So it might going to be awhile for we seeing any anime characters
He also didn't know who Jiren was about two weeks ago. That may have changed, he intended to do some research I believe.
Jiren is beyond DC Universe level
It's quite disturbing how many times Superman has been drawn getting impaled or whatnot in recent years. Not to mention the movies...
Mah boy SHAZAM! Would win
Awesome, you believe the theory I gave you in the superchat! Both the Batman who laughs and the Joker from TKJ reference the "one bad day" scenario. It's something that's likely popped up with other Jokers by now. But I think, given the circumstances, Batman killing the Joker in the Killing Joke, then turning into the Joker himself is the most satisfying conclusion -- so why not? Lol. We can dream.
How does DC metal and DC story with the button and rebirth add up
Metal takes place BEFORE Doomsday Clock.
Trevor Paris no it doesn't.
It's after?
So how does the mr. Oz of storyline fit in
We will see, Action comics is telling that story now. It just makes sense it takes place after Metal more, as it's a larger event.
Dammit...
You already said my theory of Killing Joke Batman
DB would win
This was a really good video 🔥
The Batman who laughs is a Batman that killed Joker. When Joker died, his heart released a gas that slowly turned Batman into the Joker overtime. And he kills all the members of the Batman family.
Magic might vs Devious brutality... I'd hope for Shazam, but would have my reservations about it. Batman in any form isn't to be taken lightly.
Shazam aka captain marvel would win
Tevya Smolka hell he won't
Against who?
why not captain marvel aka billy bastion has magic on his side and plus he has his marvel family by his side
Shazam can't even beat Superman on his own most of the time and Devastator just steamrolled through many other equal or close threats. Very doubtful.
Sharil Shahed Billy Batson is just a 10 yr old kid even though he has the wisdom of Solomon. I think if shazam uses his power to its potential n superman being weak to magic he can beat him. If Dr fate has capacity to beat superman then y not shazam??
Hey, Rob. What every happened to all the Watchmen stuff? We got the Jor-El reveal, but what came of that? Is that related to Metal at all? The only way I can think of for the good guys to win is to have Dr. Manhattan to do it...
Devastator Batman, because you are giving Batman, one of the most intelligent people on earth, with the strength and immortality of Doomsday. Shazam would be fucked.
Ethan Legg he can still die
Ethan Legg right that is true
RaginDXDemon They both could die but the question is Batman doomsday what stay dead for long and would come back much stronger before and dangerous
He wouldn’t exactly be the same Bruce or even Bruce at all if that
Rob I love these videos keep them coming. I would have to say shazam I have to believe. I have to have hope..
Boomsday.
So glad I found this channel, you saved my sanity, Rob!
Hey Rob trying to read Batman., been away from comics for awhile ., any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Love the show. Keep it going man!!!
The scariest thing about the Devastator is that adapting the Doomsday strain to be used and controlled as a contingency for a rogue Superman not only sounds like something that our Batman WOULD do, but it's entirely possible that he HAS, but hasn't had to use it yet.
Shazam....!!!
But it would be close.
Magic over might
I love how the artist of the tuning fork put R2D2 in the shot lol
Devastator Batman over Shazam for sure my man Rob you're the best keep up the good work brother
I just want to say that this comic's art is so dope
You are the best, kind of remind me of my grade school year when we had to discuss comic.
no one can read comic like Rob
I’m curious, has Shazam ever fought doomsday before? I mean I understand Shazam is a bit of a power house I think he could take on doomsday but the devastator is umm a whole new level. But damn I would like to see Shazam and devastator fight it out!
Rob I think there is a comic where lobo and doomsday fought. And I think it's in convergence. I could be wrong on that but I think that's where lobo and doomsday fought one on one.
Hey Rob @comicsexplained will the Merciless' origin come out next week, in between this and The Man Who Laughs?
At 1:05 if you look to the top left of Martian Manhunter it looks like R2-D2's head lmao
In a “taking everything I’ve red and seen” from justice league tv adaptations to comic issues. It would be an easy win for devastador. Shazam has one of many signature moves that stands out where he literally bear hugs you from the back and calls out Shazam to strike lighting at you without you being able to brake free “depending on who your are superhero wise”. But Batman being Batman and having the strength of doomsday he would easily apply some of his knowledge to the fight and flip Shazam around like Superman did in justice league unlimited I think and turn him back into billy. Billy has the wisdom of a god but the character of a kid still and would inevitably die.
As much as I love Shazam, I doubt he could compete with a doomsday with the mind and fighting prowess of Bruce Wayne.
I need a Devastator vs Lobo Round 2.
Also, Robb misses his important point of Superman's Stories (or most of them). Superman ALWAYS saves Lois Lane.
But in this Dark Universe, Superman Kills Lois Lane with his own hands, Batman didn't lose his hope because of the betrayal of his friend, he lose his hope because Superman Kills his own family, something that Batman despise in the order of the dead of his parents, and how his relationship grows with Clark.
It's a sad but interesting story for Superman's fans.
Can we trust in the hope that Superman give us or we are just let in us be tricked in ilusions?
Damn... that was a hard good METAL Tie-in.
A fight between Devestater BATMAN and Shazam?
I'm guessing the winner would be Whoever the writers would want to be.
Isn't that how it's always done?
Appreciate you Rob!
been waiting for this one
4:17 I believe the term you are looking for is “mom friend”
the joker-batman is a fused version of the joker and bats, dunno how they merged together BUT! he is actually the good guy ;)
Possibly because they both can't die. Their fight would cause many planets destroyed.
It is really sad you know to see Batman say I won’t let you hurt me anymore at 8:02 and how he loved Clark at least the way I picture Batman saying it
Shazam, since Doomsday was created by adapting to the harsh environment of Krypton he's for all intent and purposes, a monster version of an evolved Kryptonian. And this mean, since one of the biggest weaknesses of Kryptonian is magic, Shazam could beat Devastator Batman, since he has magical powers.
When "DoomsBat" was questioning the Batman who Laughed, he calls him Joker and says " I thought he killed you ..." . That implies rather heavily that Devastator Batman's origin align very closely to the Injustice story line where Superman kills Joker. Superman going rogue and killing Lois then, with no explanation killing other heroes and villains fits almost exactly to Injustice. Which also acknowledged Doomsday in its own canon . You're welcome Rob.
The tuning fork is originally from crisis on infinite earths not infinite crisis
The Joker's the last one, right? Can't wait!!!
The Devastator, because he still has his mind intact. A batman with hulk like strength, poor Billy
Ok so this may be a total dumb question, but is there a way for me to just get this storyline somewhere? Or is it a set or maybe all in one book somehow? Im totally new to comics, and don't have anywhere to get them other than the internet where i live. I am so blown away by what I'm learning here on this channel that there are a few storylines that id love to acquire but have no idea how to go about getting them without crossing over or getting the wrong thing.... THANK YOU!!!!
