A great writer can make the silliest character interesting. Calendar man is goofy, until you realise he's actually pretty much become a distilled raw embodiment of how many of the worst serial killers think and act.
Fun fact he actually DOES show up in Origins briefly, he was the one who was in the gas chamber before "Black Mask" freed him and put the Commissioner Loeb inside to die. He was so cruel he was about the be executed and that tells you a LOT in that universe where none of the villains every receive death penalties.
Maybe no judge dared to have any of Batman rogues on death row after Calendar Man, after being freed from the gas chamber before execution, immediately went after Judge Harkness (the judge that sentenced him to death, despite being declared insane by the state), hanged him with his christmas lights and making a christmas light display with the body on the roof of the victim... It does kinda sent a message not to try to execute the criminally insane in this city...
I read some of the older Calendar Man comics (Pre-Long Halloween). I was surprised to see he was actually treated like a legit threat, and could pose a challenge to Batman in combat. He wasn't depicted as a joke character until "The Misfits" storyline with Killer Moth.
Calendar man A character who was an incompetent goofy villain in an old comic, only to be turned into an interesting villain thanks to Long Halloween I'm not saying he's actually a great villain, cause he still isn't, even with him being reimagined in Long Halloween parts 1 and 2
I feel like it would be cool if calender man had all his crimes repeat themselves every month and he essentially kept the same routine of breaking out and doing the exact same things and in a sort of super natural way it just happens like fate every time and maybe batman would eventually get tired of it to a point where he might even finish off calender man for good to end the cycle but calender man somehow even comes back on these dates after death
Snowflame would be awesome rewritten as a psychotic drug addict/dealer. His powers laid dormant and could only be activated when he got the feeling he does from cocaine
Calendar man, great white shark, ratcatcher, killer moth and Prometheus are the most underrated villains ever they need love and attention in the future
I feel like a good addition to the newer more psychotic Calendar man would be if he actually recreated horrible events from previous dates. Like big disastrous events, possibly events caused by other villains, and tricking people into thinking the event is happening for the first time as though they were sent to the past and could stop it.
Honestly Calendar Girl's introduction in TAS was genuinely intimidating. I remember being a kid and being freaked out by her mask and how half the shots just looked like a creepy mask in a person shaped void.
Hey James Gunn, for the next suicide squad can we get White Flame as a main character who dies in a heavy combat scene where there’s a huge enemy and He steps forward, does a massive rail to fight the massive monster, and then quickly dies from the overdose, leaving the rest of the team to actually fight the villain. He can awaken in the post credit scene and then quickly do another line to properly wake up.
I think his appearance in Arkham City shows how dangerous he is. The whole plot of the game involves a city prison for criminals to run free, yet Calendar Man is still kept in a cell. He’s so dangerous that he has to be kept away from other dangerous criminals!
I feel like I prefer him as a silly villain rather than what he is in The Long Halloween as I also believe there is some untapped potential for what he originally was, a goof obsessed with dates,he could be a fun character.
He is the nicest guy at arkham and for his own saferty should be moved somewhere eles. Guess a cool backstory for him would be he was an assasion that specialed in killing via food allergies after Hugo strange cured him with electro shock therapy he became what he is a harmless nut that can't think right
Idea for Calander Man.... Calander Man does his usual gimmicks over holidays, CM tires of the routine and hires zoom to do him a favor... its now June 26th and zoom returns... batman is responding to a crime overheard on the police radio... its Calander Man, batman is faced with the murderer of his parents but from a week before the murders take place... its a "no killing rule" take on the "whether or not you should kill baby hitler" What would Batman do? How much of Bruce's past clouds his judgment as Batman?
To be honest only based on theyr costumes from the pannel shown (with the green Killer Moth suit) I want to see The Misfits be in a gritty sci-fi space advanture as a crew of bounty hunters or something. Killer Moth is the securety guard and wappons specialist Calender-Man is the Mapper/Planer and pilot Cat Man the Leader and scouter or survivalist that is good at taming animals so he has an exentric pet cat (wich can turn into a monster) that's part of the crew And Chancer the new Commer protagonist of the group maby filling a role of tech and hacker Idk.....just seemed intresting to me.
Batman's worst adversaries, a psychopathic clown, a dwarf mob boss, an intellectual equal, but the absolute worst monster, someone who is worse than a pedophilic Stalin? The man who counts dates.
Most people overlook his full name. Julian dates are representative are the number of days since 1/1/4713 B.C. and Gregory representing the Gregorian calendar which we use today. Day should be obvious.
Well all this time I thought that calendar man was a joke villain, some one not even worth of arkham, I mean it seems to me like the writers just looked at the wall for inspiration
Do you mean dialogue from the comic panels? They're purposely made blank to avoid copyright strikes. Because basically TH-cam has a system that scans videos when you upload them. Then flags them for having images that could be considered plagerism, harmful, and/or explicit. Removing the text seems to be a loophole around that for comic panels.
I like how a guy like Calendar Man can actually be an interesting threat if he’s written well.
A great writer can make the silliest character interesting. Calendar man is goofy, until you realise he's actually pretty much become a distilled raw embodiment of how many of the worst serial killers think and act.
A great writer can create something new rather than revamping things.
Fun fact he actually DOES show up in Origins briefly, he was the one who was in the gas chamber before "Black Mask" freed him and put the Commissioner Loeb inside to die. He was so cruel he was about the be executed and that tells you a LOT in that universe where none of the villains every receive death penalties.
He also shows up as a refrence in the cells in arkum asylum there is a caland3r room
Maybe no judge dared to have any of Batman rogues on death row after Calendar Man, after being freed from the gas chamber before execution, immediately went after Judge Harkness (the judge that sentenced him to death, despite being declared insane by the state), hanged him with his christmas lights and making a christmas light display with the body on the roof of the victim...
It does kinda sent a message not to try to execute the criminally insane in this city...
He’s probably the best example of a joke villain becoming one of the darkest and serious villains ever
I like how Batman villains get a face lift every so often like, Calendar Man, Maxie Zeus and Mr. Freeze
Another silly villain who was a joke and is now creepy as hell. Is the 10 eyed man ! Do a video of him next !
I read some of the older Calendar Man comics (Pre-Long Halloween). I was surprised to see he was actually treated like a legit threat, and could pose a challenge to Batman in combat. He wasn't depicted as a joke character until "The Misfits" storyline with Killer Moth.
Fun fact: on the Arkham comics, he is the reason why Batman makes the Knightfall protocol
What did he do so that batman can make the protocol ?
Yeah. What?
Why?
The fact hes also there for knightfall
Calendar man
A character who was an incompetent goofy villain in an old comic, only to be turned into an interesting villain thanks to Long Halloween

I'm pretty sure Victor Zsasz already had this angled covered. I am so happy that Myx fixed him up back to his pre edgy teen 90s design!
Most characters can become awesome characters if written well
Snowflame would be awesome rewritten as a psychotic drug addict/dealer. His powers laid dormant and could only be activated when he got the feeling he does from cocaine
Thats just my origin story. But my power is that i can do loads of cocaine when im on cocaine
The Whitney Houston dude was the first ‘cancel’ of the cancel culture 😂
Day would be a great villain for Peacemaker since he's a D-Lister
Calendar man, great white shark, ratcatcher, killer moth and Prometheus are the most underrated villains ever they need love and attention in the future
Ratcatcher could be amazing if written correctly
I freaking love Great White Shark. Dude is sick!!
Calendar Man's first appearance was in 1958 it took 21 years before he made his return
Almost like instead of using the riddler in the movie . It would made more sense to use calendar man
@Paraone Ngatai i heard rumours that in The Batman 2 the “villain” will be the court of Owls
@@lobaandrade7172 false rumors its what fans want but its not likely
random man : *get hurt or injured by other people
that man : ight imma get a silly costume and become either a villain or a hero
it's interesting to see how drasticly diiferent some characters are portrayed for kids vs. adults
I feel like a good addition to the newer more psychotic Calendar man would be if he actually recreated horrible events from previous dates. Like big disastrous events, possibly events caused by other villains, and tricking people into thinking the event is happening for the first time as though they were sent to the past and could stop it.
And that's the story of how batman stopped the holocaust
I've never heard antithesis pronounced as anti-thesis. I like it.
The Arkham games version is scary.
I would like to see Myx’s true form. I’ve always felt like he was just another mask of Nyarlathotep
Isn't Nyarlathotep a lovecraftian deity, does it show up in comics?
Calendar man is like the zodiac killer i think.
Honestly Calendar Girl's introduction in TAS was genuinely intimidating. I remember being a kid and being freaked out by her mask and how half the shots just looked like a creepy mask in a person shaped void.
Long Halloween really showed how intelligent and calculating julian is
You forgot to mention the calendar man on the long halloween animated movie (voices by the polka dot man actor)
would you guys ever do a video on comic book origins for evil ernie?
Hey James Gunn, for the next suicide squad can we get White Flame as a main character who dies in a heavy combat scene where there’s a huge enemy and He steps forward, does a massive rail to fight the massive monster, and then quickly dies from the overdose, leaving the rest of the team to actually fight the villain. He can awaken in the post credit scene and then quickly do another line to properly wake up.
The long Halloween made calendar day man a interesting villain
I love how The Long Halloween completely revamped the Calendar Man.
Thanks for the Story Video 📖🙊🫢🤐😬😱😎🤩💖💝💞💕🥰😊💐🌟🥇🏆😇🙏🏿🕊💎💟☮️✝️✡️🛐🕎🌈👑🛡🗡🤍🌟🥇🏆

He’s so dangerous that he has to be kept away from other dangerous criminals!
calender man is a gold mine
Weirdly enough, Calendar Man from the comics that write him well rather than as a joke, is my favourite villain after Joker. ESPECIALLY IN ARKHAM!!!!
Part with his money, lol, so true.
Also there is no Calendar Man in The Batman Animated Series just Calendar Women who is a X-Model
I feel like I prefer him as a silly villain rather than what he is in The Long Halloween as I also believe there is some untapped potential for what he originally was, a goof obsessed with dates,he could be a fun character.
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉
Different versions of calendar man
Arkham Asylum-Big boy
Thumbnail-fit/normal boy
Comics-lookingLikeAJoke boy
SNOWFLAME KNOWS NO PAIN!!
-Linkara
I'll see your Calendar Man and raise you by a Condiment King. ^^;
He is the nicest guy at arkham and for his own saferty should be moved somewhere eles. Guess a cool backstory for him would be he was an assasion that specialed in killing via food allergies after Hugo strange cured him with electro shock therapy he became what he is a harmless nut that can't think right
Julian, from Julius, who was the namesake of July.
Gregory, a reference to the modern, Gregorian, calendar.
Day, you're not stupid
He’s like DC’s Hannibal
Idea for Calander Man....
Calander Man does his usual gimmicks over holidays, CM tires of the routine and hires zoom to do him a favor... its now June 26th and zoom returns... batman is responding to a crime overheard on the police radio... its Calander Man, batman is faced with the murderer of his parents but from a week before the murders take place... its a "no killing rule" take on the "whether or not you should kill baby hitler"
What would Batman do?
How much of Bruce's past clouds his judgment as Batman?
Does anyone else think Day did actually predict Batman's end in the Arkham Games like some people say?
Can you make a Batman playlist plz of your videos?
To be honest only based on theyr costumes from the pannel shown (with the green Killer Moth suit) I want to see The Misfits be in a gritty sci-fi space advanture as a crew of bounty hunters or something.
Killer Moth is the securety guard and wappons specialist
Calender-Man is the Mapper/Planer and pilot
Cat Man the Leader and scouter or survivalist that is good at taming animals so he has an exentric pet cat (wich can turn into a monster) that's part of the crew
And Chancer the new Commer protagonist of the group maby filling a role of tech and hacker
Idk.....just seemed intresting to me.
why is calendar man obsessed with dates?
cause he can’t get one hahahhhaha * i’ll show myself out
13:38 what is he talking about with CM in Arkham knight with 7 clones of Grundy? Did I miss something or is he messing up
He was referring to the prequel comics. But something like that would make an interesting mission.
He might be scary if he was done right.
Calendar King looks like Space ghost
Awesome
Batman's worst adversaries, a psychopathic clown, a dwarf mob boss, an intellectual equal, but the absolute worst monster, someone who is worse than a pedophilic Stalin? The man who counts dates.
What are your sources for the origin story about his parents?
My absent father had a Father's day birth.My neglectful mother was born on Christmas day.
I always liked Calendar Man.
Most people overlook his full name. Julian dates are representative are the number of days since 1/1/4713 B.C. and Gregory representing the Gregorian calendar which we use today. Day should be obvious.
Hey you forgot he was in Batman Arkham Knight but as a Easter egg being the game
And yet Calanderman is somehow not as silly as Condiment King
It just goes, to show you the most lethal weapon, is the mind🙉🙊🙈
Well all this time I thought that calendar man was a joke villain, some one not even worth of arkham, I mean it seems to me like the writers just looked at the wall for inspiration
U can see him in knoghtfall protocol in a rkham knight
Calendar Man is Fucking awesome!!!!!
I thought his name was the detachable kid
Hannibal LECTOR? Haha wtf.....
Without being a hero he would destroy any human on the street! LoL He Plan it like Tom Clancy Splinter Cell! LoL
Is his real name julian?
Lol! Guessed it
I thought this guys name was Szzzt?
Like your psychology comments.
Have you made (or would you consider making) a video about Dark Horse Comics' "The Goon"?
The video title is written very weird.
Why isn't there any dialogue?
Do you mean dialogue from the comic panels?
They're purposely made blank to avoid copyright strikes. Because basically TH-cam has a system that scans videos when you upload them. Then flags them for having images that could be considered plagerism, harmful, and/or explicit. Removing the text seems to be a loophole around that for comic panels.

His 2 mins intro made me click off lol I’m sure it was good tho
Nathan Fllion did not potray him it was Sean Gunn James Gunn brother who was also weasel
Bit of a nitpick here, Superman isn't a man. He's a Kryptonian.
"Whitney Houston's murderer"?
NOT COOL BRO, NOT COOL AT ALL.
I get it tho, but come on yo...Jesus Christ
It was a (LOW KEY) ok JOKE tho...
EDIT: 🥲🥲🥲🥲
