I understand that this is just about the comics, but how can you talk about the Crime Syndicate without talking about the movie "Crisis on Two Earths"? James Woods as Owl Man and the entire Crime Syndicate in that movie was amazing! Not to mention that Batman had probably one of his most badass quotes ever in the animated universe. "We both looked into the abyss, but when it looked back at us... You blinked."
You could say the same for any non-superpowered hero/villain. Batman's power is that he's Batman, Lex Luthor's power is that he's Lex Luthor, and so on... Come to think of it, if used vaguely enough as a term, you could argue that everyone's power is themselves, since nobody can do anything with literally being themselves. Your biggest superpower, is that you're you! ^_^
irish sith Their wicked too but when I read Forever Evil and saw Ultraman sniff kryptonite like cocaine, Johnny Quick throws Doom Patrol back in time and I found out the Outsider was Alfred of Earth 3 I was completely sold!
Ultraman is incredibly powerful when the sun is out, it just stings him, doesn't really make him weaker. And Ultraman is really more of a bully and super criminal than some force of nature. In fact when he went to the daily planet all he did was torture Jimmy Olsen because he could. In an ironic twist Black Adam came to save Jimmy.
Always liked the Crime Syndicate, the details showing other characters on their world was especially fun. Like the hero Jokester and the Gentleman Solomon Grundy.
It depends on the version of the Crime Syndicate's Earth. In the original Earth-Three Alexander Luthor rose to be the sole superhero on Earth-Three. Earth-Three was destroyed in "Crisis on Infinite Earths". The only survivor was Alexander Luthor, Jr., the son of Alexander Luthor, Sr. and Lois Lane Luthor who was sent to the Earth-One Universe.
Owlman (Thomas Wayne Jr.) (DC Comics) is one of my favorite Alternate Versions of "The Dark Knight" himself, Batman A.K.A. Bruce Wayne. Don't you agree with me?
history of mazahs would be cool if there is anymore details to make an episode for the character. if not then a history of the court of owls if variant hasn't already done it.
After hearing about Brightburn, I'd love to see CS origins. What are your thoughts about an Owlman movie? Power Ring would be a cool alien horror film.
I strongly recommend doing an origin story for the crime syndicate members.I looked into power ring's once before,and it's actually very interesting considering how different it is from the green lantern we all know and love,and I think other people would enjoy hearing about the variations of each members story.
Liked, favourited and commenting before watching the video because I know it's gonna be dope. The Crime Syndicate is such a badass group of villains!!!
I never got it why didn't they name it ultraman in first place? Now James gunn's working on a new project for new DC universe this movie could have played the role of a prequel for a would_happen JLA Vs CSA movie
Is December going to be Star Wars month? A history of one of the Star Wars characters would be nice. Maybe even going through all the lightsaber colors explaining when they mean like what you did with the Lantern Rings video.
Uhhhhh I mean...... The CSA is in a different universe? That means all the Justice League members are villains instead, so if anything, this universe would have the opposite of Johnny Quick. Which means that "Reverse Flash" wouldn't be evil, he would actually be good. Sinestro and Reverse Flash are in their own universe.
... go up against the Justice League the trinity counter parts match with their respected alter well but Jonny Quick and Power Ring don't interest me because Reverse Flash and Sinestro already fit the counterpart role perfectly. (Even though I love Jonny Quick's costume in Grant Morrison's Earth 2)
CRIME SYNDICATE: Evil 🙈 is the natural order of things on the alternate universe world 🌎 of Earth 🌎🌎🌎 3. Here instead of a Justice League, there's the Crime Syndicate a twisted 🥨 team of super-villains who decide to stage an invasion of Prime Earth 🌎. Although the villains seem to have defeated the Justice League, they don't capture Batman. This error leads to their own downfall! Merry Christmas ☃️🎄 Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
Aries U 4got the Crime Society (a play on Justice Society) appearance in Countdown when the 'Challengers From Beyond' of Jason Todd, Dona Troy, Kyle Raynor, and Bob the Monitor went throughout teh multiverse in 'The Search for Ray Palmer' when they hit Earth 3 and they meet The Jokester and they fight the Crime Society in Countdown Presents: The Search for Ray Palmer - Crime Society. You get some background on The Riddler Family (Riddler, Three-Face Evelyn 'Eve' Dent - Duela's mom, Duela Dent, and Jokester - Dulea's Dad).
I have actually built a 13 member Crime Syndicate in action figures. I have the original 5, plus the two newer members Atomica and Deathstorm. There were newer versions and I wanted but was never able to get the updated Owl Man, only one I got was the updated Johnny Quick. Since our Barry Allen has a science background I made that one a little smarter and use the new one as Crimson Cyclone, an android counterpart of Red Tornado, then, I take a more alien looking Martian Manhunter as Martian Marauder, then a Momoa Aquaman as Aqua Lord, a very severe looking Black Canary as Black Siren of course, new 52 Hawkgirl as Kestrel, and Zatanna dark as Zarina. Since there are wayyyy more hero figures made than villains, I use alternate versions in my displays.
I don't know if anyone has thought of this yet. However, I noticed watching this video, Arris mentions that he may do separate episodes for the members of the Crime Syndicate. Consider this the nerd in me, I thought it would be dope af if he did one about Power Ring, the evil version of Green Lantern. You already got prior videos on the various lantern corps and the power ring itself too. Why not indulge us in learning more about the Ring of Volthoom or the Power Ring Corps? Plus with the unveiling of the new Invisible Spectrum in the DC Universe, it would be cool one-shot for Villain's Month in October. Just throwing that thought out...
Sony made brightburn They should had bought the rights to crime syndicate, movie audiences received suicide squad well, I dont see why they wouldn't like evil superheroes Missed opportunity
So in a way Ultraman is slightly altered version of Bizarro and Superman at the same time? Funny thing, both Bizarro and Ultraman have a disadvantage when it comes to fighting in broad daylight.
I first read the Crime Syndicate in Crisis on Infinite Earths, where they tricked the JLA to come to their world which caused a rift to open bringing their earth into JLA's universe. Additionally, the Crisis on Two Earths DC animated movie
Bruce Wayne chose the bat to be symbol of fear so did Thomas Wayne choose the owl to be a symbol of wisdom or something? or is it because he admired their furry heart shaped faces? (I don't get it)
his name is Thomas wayne Jr who is Bruce's older brother and when he wants to shiot both his parents, bruce changes his mine though he dealt with him to erase their parents. So bruce pushes thomas wayne jr and the outsider(alfred) shoots both of his parents and bruce.
also watch crisis on 2 earth for more crime syndicate. i would love a 12 issue series on how these phychos end up working together instead of killing each other.
i looked up the movie version a while back and the character i thought was wonder woman's counter part turned out to be mary marvel's and dating owlman which brought up something even weirder
Hey Arris another great video thanks! Surprised you missed out the DC animated film crisis on two earths (then again there wasnt much in terms of continuity and significant plot to that film)
I understand that this is just about the comics, but how can you talk about the Crime Syndicate without talking about the movie "Crisis on Two Earths"? James Woods as Owl Man and the entire Crime Syndicate in that movie was amazing! Not to mention that Batman had probably one of his most badass quotes ever in the animated universe.

Devin R Superwoman was suppose to be an evil Mary marvel.
It doesn’t matter
@@studinthemaking the hell are you talking about? No one said anything that would warrant your comment.. You just wanna say something to feel clever?
Devin R FACTS
@@trod146 you're a dick
I love the Crime Syndicate, the idea of an evil version of the Justice League is just so comic booky and fun
and after that they had many more evil versions of them
Na - Naruto? Have you noticed me?
Would be awesome to see them in the DCEU
Mr. Pool of Death we probably won’t see them there for a while since the dc movies are ass
frank jovel like you
So, Owlman's power is... because he's Owlman?
Lol
Lol
You could say the same for any non-superpowered hero/villain.
Batman's power is that he's Batman, Lex Luthor's power is that he's Lex Luthor, and so on...

+Stevy Ouellette no his power is It doesn't matter.
***** you didn't get the joke, unless that wasn't for me. :X
Best evil counterparts ever made!
New 52 version is the best version so far!
I prefer the dark avengers
What about the justice Lords?
irish sith Their wicked too but when I read Forever Evil and saw Ultraman sniff kryptonite like cocaine, Johnny Quick throws Doom Patrol back in time and I found out the Outsider was Alfred of Earth 3 I was completely sold!
I love Comics Book Evil Team.
Bruce: I'm Batman
Thomas: I'm Owlman
Everyone has nocturnal names--
XD
Yup!
Also, since we have Batmetal.
We could also have Owlmetal.
😆
I’ll leave now.
Im suprised this hasn't gotten out of hand yet. We have a Firefly. Why not Hamister, or Chinchilladie?
Owls are also the natural predator of bats.
it ain't "i'm owlman", his power is.
"It doesn't matter. Nothing, matters"
Tony:im iron man
So owlman origin is
" Why Owls, master thomas? "
" Owls embolden me, it's time my allies share my bravery. "
*OWLARANG THROWN SOUND EFFECT*
That movie would be called
"Owlman begins"
the Owlarang
The owlmobile
The Owl Knight (in universe, he’s the darkest knight, but that sounds stupid.)
"it doesn't matter" -Owlman
primed salt “Nothing really matters” -Freddy Mercury
Wait dose that mean Ultraman is weak against our yellow sun?
Yes. He blocks it out in Forever evil
He's he moves the moon in front of the sun it's freakin great
ThePandaSupreme So he is only useful in the dark.
Ultraman is incredibly powerful when the sun is out, it just stings him, doesn't really make him weaker. And Ultraman is really more of a bully and super criminal than some force of nature. In fact when he went to the daily planet all he did was torture Jimmy Olsen because he could. In an ironic twist Black Adam came to save Jimmy.
it does make him weaker, at the end of forever evil when he was locked up he was a skinny shrivelled mess crying in the floor(he was actually crying).
If this will be introduced in DCEU, I would first like to see Trinity War on screen!
Would be cool to see who will oppose Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot , Battfleck and Jason Momoa lol.
Always liked the Crime Syndicate, the details showing other characters on their world was especially fun. Like the hero Jokester and the Gentleman Solomon Grundy.
I also loved Mazahs!!
Such an interesting character, plus they never revealed much about him, i hope they eventually do...:)
Batman : The Dark Knight
Owlman : The Shine Knight
C’mon Murrray
why not the light knight?
Ultraman: *exists*
Omni Man: "this...does put a smile on my face."
"It doesn't matter.." - Owlman
Just watched Crisis on Two Earths and I thought that Owlman was an awesome counterpart for Batman
Lies again? Out with ugly
I think there should be a movie showing a confrontation between the Crime Syndicate and the Justice League. Who wouldn't want to see Owlman live ?
David Navarro crisis on two earths
Abe G He probably knows that by now. That comments was 2 years ago
@@malikkelly lol, yeah
honestly bro owlman in live action would be sick
@@abrahamgonzales1888 I already watched this one. That’s why I wrote « _live_ »
How come you didn't bring up Crisis on Two Earths?
Tissan Young because we’re talking about comics not movies
Tissan Young groom that's the movie, non cannon
Tissan Young that was silver age
Mr. pool death I agree
The CW's DCETV Crisis On Two Earths basically gave us a Nazi version to the Crime Syndicate. Good Point !!!
Top 10 underrated supervillains please.
+River Robins you mean discount joker
1)Pyro
2)Onslaught
3)Purple Man
4)Kraven the hunter
5)Riddler
6)Mister Freeze
7)Cyborg Superman
8)Superboy Prime
9)Black Mask
10)Heat Wave
+Lochlann Hannon agreed with this list fam 💯👍🏾 - Kingz #RKA
+Lochlann Hannon Kraven, Riddler, and Mister Freeze are not underrated at all.
+Spicy Apple Yes they are overshadowed by other Batman and Spider-man villains.
Whenever I read comics with the Crime Syndicate in it, I always read Owlman with James Woods' voice in my head.
I like the sound of the Shazam alternate.
I love the heel turn of Alexander Luther III to Mazahs.
Because if I recall correctly wasn't OG Earth-3 Lex the only hero standing against the CSA?
Me too. I'd love to see Mazahs appear in more media
It depends on the version of the Crime Syndicate's Earth. In the original Earth-Three Alexander Luthor rose to be the sole superhero on Earth-Three. Earth-Three was destroyed in "Crisis on Infinite Earths". The only survivor was Alexander Luthor, Jr., the son of Alexander Luthor, Sr. and Lois Lane Luthor who was sent to the Earth-One Universe.
Love the Crime Syndicate. So glad you made this vid for us to enjoy.

kingofkings3651 sorry i went too far i'm truly sorry for my grammar mistake and for insulting you
I’d love to see a series centered around the Crime Syndicate! It’d probably be this great blend of action and horror.
My favorite iteration has to be the crisis in two worlds. James Wood just seriously made me love Owlman.
Owl Man looks like Nite Owl from The Watchmen
Owl man apeared first so nite owl looks like owl man
Best channel on TH-cam
Villains month is a dope idea
BrightBurn conspiracies brought me here.
Yes! Same
Favorite comic channel :)
+VariantComics It's true. I got back into comics because of your channel.
I've never read a comic in my life and I binge watch this channel
Me too!
- go to chrome
- use *incognito mode*
- search "free comic read online"
there, you don't need to buy comics and can read comics freely
Grid makes so much more sense thanks to this as I had no idea who he was in ij2
Owlman (Thomas Wayne Jr.) (DC Comics) is one of my favorite Alternate Versions of "The Dark Knight" himself, Batman A.K.A. Bruce Wayne.
Don't you agree with me?
The crime syndicate are basically DC's official version of the Seven from the boys
history of mazahs would be cool if there is anymore details to make an episode for the character. if not then a history of the court of owls if variant hasn't already done it.
check out comics explained for court of owls video or watch GOTHAM season 2.
fobudomh I realize there are other videos but still variant could do something different for their video
Andrew Brown there's no history for him,
Love the Krime Syndikate!!!
Owl mans original costume looks so Ridiculous lmao
He's literally an OWL
Definitely happy with the redesign from the 2000s and so on
Hey variant,love your work and just wanted to say keep it up.
After hearing about Brightburn, I'd love to see CS origins. What are your thoughts about an Owlman movie? Power Ring would be a cool alien horror film.

If the crime syndicate is the evil counterparts of the justice league
Then who the good counterparts of the legion of doom?!
Purple Man History?
Yes that would be epic
Who's purple man
+Tunnel snakes Rule Purple Man is a very underrated Dare Devil villian
Yea even for Jessica Jones

History of Lobo please.
Still waiting for that one......
Lobo's partner Dawg will tell you about that...
Check out the specific comic strip
Dawg was with Lobo for some time working side to side.
3 yrs later it finally came

History of Namor pleases!
Yes!!
sak davith naymar>>>>>>>>namor
I love The Crime Syndicate, And I love the DC Lego games so the fact that they are the villains just shows more and more how much the creators love DC
I think Power Ring and Jonny Quick are redundant because of Sinestro and Reverse Flash

Isn't crack the same as coke?

Missed opportunity
I agree I hope they gonna make a good version of villains
Justice Lords vs Crime Syndicate
Owlman is one of my favourite villains. He's as badass as Batman, except he's eeeeeeeevil.
+Akil manaz I want some comic or TV when he has his talon (Dick Grayson) with him, and seeing them work together.
So in a way Ultraman is slightly altered version of Bizarro and Superman at the same time? Funny thing, both Bizarro and Ultraman have a disadvantage when it comes to fighting in broad daylight.
Happy Back To The Future Day everyone!
this is the best comic channel
I ship owl man and super woman so much like of you agree
That's the way it was on crisis on 2 earths
Wut.
Why isn’t there a earth 3 blue lantern
alternate version of Cyborg.....please!
That's a great idea! :)
I first read the Crime Syndicate in Crisis on Infinite Earths, where they tricked the JLA to come to their world which caused a rift to open bringing their earth into JLA's universe.
Additionally, the Crisis on Two Earths DC animated movie
WAit, Does Brightburn explain Ultraman's Origin
Blue Knuckles considering the movie makers don’t have the rights no. But that can be your head canon
More like instead of landing near the Kents, Kal El landed in either Al Capone's or John Gotti's backyard.
Bruce Wayne chose the bat to be symbol of fear so did Thomas Wayne choose the owl to be a symbol of wisdom or something? or is it because he admired their furry heart shaped faces? (I don't get it)
Hey aris could u do a history of owl man.
his name is Thomas wayne Jr who is Bruce's older brother and when he wants to shiot both his parents, bruce changes his mine though he dealt with him to erase their parents. So bruce pushes thomas wayne jr and the outsider(alfred) shoots both of his parents and bruce.
also watch crisis on 2 earth for more crime syndicate. i would love a 12 issue series on how these phychos end up working together instead of killing each other.
Can you make a vid of the worst crime committed by a hero or villain?
