Literally impossible to survive that, no matter what he lands on. I wish he could've used his glider or something to survive, not just survive the crash :s
Don’t forget, he was dying on the staircase in Wayne Manor. So he survived the vacuum of space and the crash while severely injured Also how much speed did he get from a compressed oxygen tank. The moon is over 230,000 miles away Edited because autocorrect changed “in to I’m”
@@doctorwhy6366he didn't fly using the compressed tank. He took an engine off the justice league jet and had to manually fire it in bursts to not pass out from the g's and accelerations. And he didn the reverse to slow down but passed out and messed up the reentry. Don't get me wrong he should've died.
I wouldn't be surprised if he possessed probability manipulation, but has such a strong will power in the idea that he has no powers, that's it's undetectable, yes I know that sounds stupid, but so do most explanations for it.
@@anthonyvadala4837 I with you, and I think it's asinine to believe he doesn't have some sort of super powers/abilities. Plot armour makes no sense and is absolutely ridiculous for what he's able to do. Makes way more sense that he has super powers. He meditates all the time which means he most likely activated his third eye that all humans have the ability to do which allow you to use more of your brain which can result in super human abilities.
@@chris.s7147 those multiple personalities were created to combat mind control etc. But yeah, literally just look around you in real life, have you seen anyone in real life so the shit batman does? Of course batman is insane, no billionaire would put himself in harm's way like what batman does.
Ironically failsafe is why a failsafe for batman is needed, would be funny if one of batman's inventions attacking the league triggered another robot to stop the first one
and then that robot triggered another robot to stop it, so on so forth until the joker gathers all the villians, evacuates all civilians out of gotham and everyone just watches from the league tower as a battle royale of bots kill each other
I was 100% doing this. The outfit was WAY too familiar so i instantly started reading all the lines in Adam west classic batman voice and ignoring the narrator.
Superman: Bruce we have been over this, anything actually able to kill you would cause our area of the omniverse to stop existing, or it would need power over the hypothetical narrative of reality.
One thing I love is that Batman always looks up to Superman. Even with everything he’s achieved and reached he still looks up to him. They’re really more brothers than friends. I’d love a show or movie that shows their closeness. There are some scenes but they’re short…I want a whole movie exploring it
So...are we going to just ignore the fact that Batman, as a contingency for "going to far", created a robot willing to put people (even the Justice League) in harm's way and literally set Gotham ablaze. This robot, mind you, can be easily triggered with a false report that it makes no attempt to verify, with Alfred being incapable of resetting it for any number of reasons (like being kidnapped, restrained, sick, or even dead), and is programmed to kill Batman - not restrain or apprehend but kill.
But imagine if Batman did go rogue, obviously failsafe fighting to kill still wasn’t enough to take him out….. imagine the struggle of restraining Batman. Can’t take any chances with the bat
Not gonna lie, this was genuinely a good story, and it’s nice to see Tim hanging with Bruce again. In many regards, he was the best Robin, though that’s not to slight Damian. He was already pretty independent by the time Bruce got a hold of him, so being Robin was more of a formality.
@@ThatTCG he and Stephanie had already split up and he's bi, not gay. Why do you have to be such a douchebag about it? Why do you hate gay people, bigot?
I like this story, though it has some extremely cheesy and goofy stuff in it. Batman willing an entirely new persona into existance just to build a robot and the re-entering the atmosphere with just his suit are just not only ridiculous moments, but just plain unintended comedy, I could totally see Schumacher pulling that stuff. Otherwise, a fairly entertaining story. Not even gonna bother with how the League just get their asses handed to them again by Batman or a version of him, at this point that's just status quo XD.
@AldiePezeh From what I remember, Batman volunteered to enter an isolation experiment under a guy named Simon Hurt, who gave Bats the codework "Zur-En-Arrh" to trigger post-hypnotic suggestions ( Zur-En-Arrh comes from "Zorro in Arkham", what Bruce's father said before he died in the alley ). But Batman also created a persona, 'Batman of Zur-En-Arrh' to combat hypnotic attacks. Zur-En-Arrh was 'Batman if Bruce was taken from the equation' - more violent, ready to torture, and possibly even kill. Years later, Simon and a group named Black Glove used the trigger to erase Bruce's memories, but Zur-En-Arrh and Bat-Mite ( another creation on Batman's mind, designed to keep Zur-En-Arrh from going too far ) stayed and helped Bruce recover and defeat Simon and Black Glove.
This story just kind of serves as a reminder, that the craziest loon in Gotham spends very little time in Arkham Asylum, and most people think he's the Guardian. Batman is insane, of that there can be no doubt
I would actually love to see a comic series about fail safe being deployed in an alternate dimension like the justice lords or injustice universe but Superman’s regime won early on. Not so flashy like how he was here but more subtle. Kinda like a horror series for them.
Kinda weird that Failsafe just....doesn't investigate whether Batman actually killed anyone or not, and doesn't listen to other league members....and can for some reason take them all out too? At this point why didn't Bruce or ZurrBatman just make a bunch of superbots to patrol Gotham at that point jesus
Because barman isn t overcofudent in technology they were à batman from the dark multivere wich rely to much on technology and became evil so batman doesn t use technology too much
That's personally the problem with this story for me, I love it, but holy smokes is Failsafe interesting in it's actions, having a plan for if Batman goes rogue makes sense, like his plans to deal with other heroes if needed. But this thing just activated simply on a rumor that Batman killed, never investigated, or tried to get any kind of confirmation like from Alfred, the sidekicks, or Justice League, it just heard the rumor and activated going right for the kill, no matter what anyone said it wouldn't stop. I think giving this thing the ability to stop even the Justice League is a bit too far. It has no method of stopping it without a fight, It's pretty excessive. Heck it even basically created a robot army and locked down Gotham under it's control, it's kind of a bit like Ultron from the MCU.
You see, I can understand making Failsafe able to deal with Superman, because of course he would interfere with Failsafe killing Batman, but you'd think Batman would have made it able to be destroyed by the League working together, or, if he was worried about all of them turning evil, make it so there is *someone* with knowledge of how to shut it down.
If Batman is capable of making a robot capable of this level of BS OP ness why have a sidekick when you could have an army of terminators fight with you. Heck you could retire early, tell Terry to be your actual assistant and not bother going Beyond. Just reprogram them to not be dicks to other heroes.
Exactly this story doesn't make any sense if you think about it. And if barman is such a planning God why didn't he ever plan for being framed for murder?
So if Batman goes rogue and has a fail safe for himself and takes himself out does that mean all the fail saves he has in place for all of the other superheroes are automatically activated because without Batman who's going to stop the superheroes if they go bad so if Batman goes they all go so Batman's the most valuable 8th dimension chess player ever
Failsafe is also a Failsafe for the Justice League. So presumably Failsafe takes out Batman then either continues Batmans mission taking down criminals in Gotham or goes into Hibernation scanning the news until it gets a report that another member(s) of the Justice League has gone rogue. When Failsafe gets that report it will activate and go take out the rogue member(s) of the Justice League.
@@bocobipbrookiebradgaming7838 its essentially a computer backup of Batman that is programmed to come up with Anti-Batman Strategies then activated if OG Batman starts killing people.
@@mouse3872 I like this explanation it is bat man we are talking about there is always more than me guy and more likely to win the lottery you are to figure out how Batman plans around all of this
Batman has been shown to make multiple different contingency plans in place for the League and anyone he deems dangerous. He has kryptonite gum in his helmet, the Hellbat suit, kyrptonite that requires 3 members to access, Bat family, Justice Buster, Tower of Babel contingency plans, Alternate personalities, Justice League 2, Dark League, a lantern ring, darkseid baby, Starro baby, and the Justice League was made as a contingency plan of sorts. Let's not forget the various times Batman has used Constantine as a backup of a backup plan.
the funny part is failsafe activates on a false rumor of batman killing someone but would probably stay shut off if he decided to go around beating innocent people/superheroes within an inch of death
So even though I love Batman. And believe he is the best hero ever to wear a cape. Ain’t no way he is falling from outer space to earth after a battle. And somehow lands on earth without assistance. Boy ain’t no way. That’s when I start to believe whoever wrote this crap wasn’t a real Batman fan or had any knowledge on the character when it comes down to their actual capabilities.
Bro exactly, this dude is floating in space for 14 minutes with no proper space gear and then proceeds to enter earth’s atmosphere and land and not die wtf
@@myman8336 Longest fall someone has survived is 33 thousand feet and she ended up in a coma, reentry involves temperatures in the range of 1400 degrees Celsius IF you come in at a proper angle and is a distance of 380,000 feet.
@Shadowlurkering in powerscaling terms, surviving reentry would put batman at "wall level" which isn't surprising since he's survived massive explosions and collapsed buildings boasting far more force than reentry
I'm not a fan of the Failsafe's initial execution, but I can get behind the concept. What I can't stand is how Bruce (either version of him) programmed a version that might kill any of his friends. Also, why the HELL would he give it protocols for building robot minions to enslave Gotham!?!?
I feel like Plastic Man really would have been a big help here. Or maybe Superman just flying in at Mach 5, grabbing the robot, and chucking it into the Sun.
Hope he Has a Deep Metallic Robot Voice 😂 Or maybe something uniquely terrifying and heart wrenching that we haven't seen before to truly make him a one of a kind.. If Failsafe tells you to Go to Bed, you're already in REM..
Alright I know absolutely nothing about Zur En Ar but now I know for a fact that Batman is just as insane as the rest of his villains. Dude belongs in Arkham. And...he survived orbital impact...what?
@@cewla3348 yeah. And crashing into the earth from space. While there's cool stuff that happens in these events, I feel like overall they're just not as good anymore. I don't enjoy Batman being this Demigod character who only gets out of stuff because of plot armor. I did like when he traveled the multiverse and met a bunch of different Batmen, but a lot of the time he's just entirely unbelievable.
I know that the plot has to happen but I just can’t see Superman getting taken down by a robot like this. Supes could have speed blitzed him before he even had a chance to take out those daggers. But with that said I really enjoyed this story arc.
@@alexdenommee3219 msheu doinng better than dc currently and sadly. They just got rid of cavil and who knows if Aquaman is even going to come out or flash. As per usual, we're back to step one with another Batman and his rogues gallery being the saviors of dc again
@@alexdenommee3219 DC fails anytime they do anything other than batman, and they even fuck that up sometimes i honestly would pefer just to have a revival of the DCAU and have them cover stuff like this, not like a 2 hr movie would do any of these stories justice anyway
Ngl it's crazy how Batman survived landing on Earth from space in just his standard Batsuit. I understand it provides protection, but that was a high end feat.
I’m sorry, what? Batman survives in space, without a suit, for over 230,000 miles, with just an air tank. Then plummets from space to earth, but survives because he landed in snow. All after being beaten half to death and going through the beginnings of systemic organ failure at Wayne Manor where he was dying on the steps?
This was an interesting idea but it kind of lost me half way through. Still I always enjoy your reads of them right to the end, Benny and appreciate the effort. Thanks a ton, bud and merry almost Christmas!
@@zummie6334 ok, no, that part makes sense. Hitting the ground isn't a death sentence if you land right. The snow very likely could Cushion the impact if it was deep enough and Batman managed to make multiple points of impact, skipping across the ground and not dying. But that he didn't at least break a bone is a tad immersion breaking
It does get kind of absurd lol. The failsafe for Batman crossing the line... well the ones who don't care about killing would parade him for finally killing the joker lol. Any of the others could just fight him without holding back... no elaborate plots needed.
James Tynion's stupid OC being written to have slept with Catwoman during all this adds insult to injury. The past couple of stories have been so much about Batman losing everything. Again and again. Experiencing more self destructive problems than W's. It's Tom King all over again. Turning Bruce into a helpless cuck who people take pity on.
@@darkopzthe other side of the moon is not low orbit. Also, there are about 20 different thing that would kill a person without a proper suit in open space, aside from temperature.
@@vernonhampton5863 why would the watch tower ve on the other side of the moon? I guess I misunderstood what was happening there. And I agreed with you about his suit. It was all a bit dubious.
Wow what a story, love that it basically redid the killing the justice league storyline. Fail safe could make for an awesome boss in an Arkham game. If only we’d get a justice league game
You know you would think Failsafes first actions should be investigating the "Murder" Before attacking batman, it was made by the worlds greatest detective and yet it just takes the word of some random news report?
I know Superman is OP but do they have to make him so stupid. Wouldn't he stay in outer space and attack this robot with his heat vision. Now maybe the robot has a way to shield itself or something but at least it would force Supes to try and come to grips with it.
He tried to Fly away to lure the Robot away with him, but the Robot went after Batman to lure Sups into a trap his consciousness wouldn't let him avoid..
one of the few times id say Superman was trapped and wasn't expecting the style of attack, like he knew he was trapped the moment Failsafe turned back and rushed towards batman, so he flew and chased back, and he probably was expecting a typical attack ie failsafe rotates his body to strike with one of the two kryptonite blades, but he didnt expect or feel the 3rd blade until it pierced him.
Hold on, failsafe was built by batman in case he goes rogue, but wouldn't he also make sure that failsafe gets his facts straight? And Zur-En-Ar is a created alternate, but I thought it was gone?
@@Forgemno Dude Batman is just a Human.. This is REALLY What he was hoping the JLA could handle.. When you fight batman it's not just a fierce brawl, it's mind altering mental gymnastics..
33:55 Batman has tanked: hits from a robot designed to kill him; falling from space, including re-entry; and a weapon that Superman has to hide from humanity. Unrelated, Batman technically hasn't ever died in continuity.
He's better. This story proved failsafe is Batman without a flesh and bone body and so capable of movies Ng and fighting much better than he ever could.
He's better. This story proved failsafe is Batman without a flesh and bone body and so capable of movies Ng and fighting much better than he ever could.
Why would Batman even bother with crime? These old comics make no sense. They are “cool” just to be cool but miss the basic lines of reasoning that make a good lore.
Superman can move at speeds at which failsafe cannot comprehend . He can even think and process shit in superspeed. Failsafe’s moves/reactions/attacks should be in slow motion for super man. And yet he got battered twice lol
The art for this volume is amazing, but I just can't come to comprehend failsafe's existence as a whole. For a contingency plan designed to take Batman down and replace him, there seems to be way too many oversights for it to actually be considered deployable, especially with the part where it runs the city similar to how Braniac and Superior Spider-Man do.

Trust me guys, People Have survived that..
@@myman8336 Longest fall someone has survived is 33 thousand feet and she ended up in a coma, reentry involves temperatures in the range of 1400 degrees Celsius IF you come in at a proper angle and is a distance of 380,000 feet.
@Shadowlurkering in powerscaling terms, surviving reentry would put batman at "wall level" which isn't surprising since he's survived massive explosions and collapsed buildings boasting far more force than reentry
@@myman8336 No they have not.
I'm not a fan of the Failsafe's initial execution, but I can get behind the concept. What I can't stand is how Bruce (either version of him) programmed a version that might kill any of his friends. Also, why the HELL would he give it protocols for building robot minions to enslave Gotham!?!?
You forget, Bruce is many things but *SANE* isn't one of them! 😂
Well like in the storys says its prepared for anything and an evil Batman could hypothesis the leage to do his bidding so he has preparation for it
As Batman himself said in Young Justice: "The League is my contingency against myself."
Anybody notice superman is so angry he's breathing ice while speaking? Nice touch.
I feel like Plastic Man really would have been a big help here. Or maybe Superman just flying in at Mach 5, grabbing the robot, and chucking it into the Sun.
Batman is like a vigilante MacGyver.
More like MacGuyver is a DIY Batman
Hope he Has a Deep Metallic Robot Voice 😂
Or maybe something uniquely terrifying and heart wrenching that we haven't seen before to truly make him a one of a kind..
If Failsafe tells you to Go to Bed, you're already in REM..
I’d assume batman’s suit has a recording function. Why would Failsafe not review that footage?
Yeah it seems pretty big of an oversight. Batman should know somebody at some point would try to frame him for murder.
@@neoshenlong that was Alfreds job and Bruce doesn't remember it ever existing so he didn't replace it.
This is just one entry in a long list of ways Failsafe should have been able to fact-check whether Batman really had killed someone.
or like, an autopsy??? cameras on the known criminal just in case something happened?????
@@femthingevelyn Would just prove 'Batman' Cyanide Pilled Penguin, had gripped Penguin with force, etc. Not that Penguin took it willingly..
the twists and turns in that one never stop
Is no one going to talk about how batman survived falling from space?!
Comic books what do you aspect
Batman, what do you expect???
@@East_Coast_Toasty_Boy Bad writing what do you expect????
Plot Armor, what do you expect?
Fails from that high only has enough joules to destroy a small building...
He's survived an entire city exploding on him before he's fine.
Rest in peace benny the reason I started reading comics
Batman entering earth orbit and walking it off at the end is Wilding
GOD,im glad your videos exist because even as a major batman fan,these comics are fuckin' exhausting to get through sometimes.
Alright I know absolutely nothing about Zur En Ar but now I know for a fact that Batman is just as insane as the rest of his villains. Dude belongs in Arkham.
And...he survived orbital impact...what?
he survived SPACE?
@@cewla3348 yeah. And crashing into the earth from space. While there's cool stuff that happens in these events, I feel like overall they're just not as good anymore. I don't enjoy Batman being this Demigod character who only gets out of stuff because of plot armor. I did like when he traveled the multiverse and met a bunch of different Batmen, but a lot of the time he's just entirely unbelievable.
I know that the plot has to happen but I just can’t see Superman getting taken down by a robot like this. Supes could have speed blitzed him before he even had a chance to take out those daggers. But with that said I really enjoyed this story arc.
So the dark knight metal events, none of the evil batmen killed anyone that fail safe didnt activate? It would have been useful
Failsafe probably didnt exist at the time
@@Mr_Grapes it most likely did, but those rouge batmen hybrid variants, arent Batman. so failsafe wouldnt activate. well thats my theory about it.
Probably reset during that time
Freddy kreuger: *invades batmans dream* "welcome to my wor...."
Batman: "i only dream when i want to"
Nah, cause then Freddy would have to deal with Zur-En-Arrh.
I read Batman's lines in some sort of highschool mean girl voice with the same energy of "I only wear Louis Vitton"
"Of course Bruce created a contingency backup, *who created a contingency backup!*"
Such an epic story.
I wish Hollywood would copy this story to 100% with a budget to match.
TBH, DC actually stands a chance, with Marvel doing the M-She-U, it's possible, it's actually f*cking possible, in my humble opinion.
@@alexdenommee3219 msheu doinng better than dc currently and sadly. They just got rid of cavil and who knows if Aquaman is even going to come out or flash. As per usual, we're back to step one with another Batman and his rogues gallery being the saviors of dc again
@@HeroFall They really got rid of cavil... Oh god nvm your right lol.
@@alexdenommee3219 DC fails anytime they do anything other than batman, and they even fuck that up sometimes i honestly would pefer just to have a revival of the DCAU and have them cover stuff like this, not like a 2 hr movie would do any of these stories justice anyway
Knowing Hollywoke they'd just turn it into their fan fiction garbage.
Ngl it's crazy how Batman survived landing on Earth from space in just his standard Batsuit. I understand it provides protection, but that was a high end feat.
it's because umm...HE IS BATMAN
he would have burned into dust from just re-entry
I’m sorry, what? Batman survives in space, without a suit, for over 230,000 miles, with just an air tank. Then plummets from space to earth, but survives because he landed in snow. All after being beaten half to death and going through the beginnings of systemic organ failure at Wayne Manor where he was dying on the steps?
Failsafe directive #1: Do not ever EVER let that slide
I was expecting the Batman failsafe to just be a picture of his parents causing him to instantly break down.
This was an interesting idea but it kind of lost me half way through. Still I always enjoy your reads of them right to the end, Benny and appreciate the effort. Thanks a ton, bud and merry almost Christmas!
We still miss you Benny! I just know you're in heaven reading comics with Kevin Conroy.
17:49-17:53 made me laugh pretty hard
Lol I had to rewind a few times
@@subhiaguilar5969 batman downbad 😂
I'm somehow reminded of the Cyberpunk 2077 memes of Keanu Reeves being edited saying stupid stuff like "Well CUM". 🤣
If only Failsafe was here for Injustice.
Hank Pym: I told you not to make your own Ultron. He just tries to kill you.
Batman: Shut up. Don't remind me.
Oh, please. Making things official with Selina would just give him extra motivation.
How tf did Batman not burn up on re-entry?
NO HOW TF DID HE SURVIVE THE LANDING!??
@@zummie6334 ok, no, that part makes sense. Hitting the ground isn't a death sentence if you land right. The snow very likely could Cushion the impact if it was deep enough and Batman managed to make multiple points of impact, skipping across the ground and not dying. But that he didn't at least break a bone is a tad immersion breaking
it made no sense, he shouldn't be able to survive the re-entry into the atmosphere like that
@@kimochi-kun6729 its called plot armor
he has his suit on
Batman sure has spent a lot of time thinking of ways to kill his friends
It does get kind of absurd lol. The failsafe for Batman crossing the line... well the ones who don't care about killing would parade him for finally killing the joker lol.
Any of the others could just fight him without holding back... no elaborate plots needed.
Remember when he said the Justice league was his Failsafe..?
This is What he meant lol
Bruce coming back to earth from outer space was an absolute joke and takes the suspension of disbelief to absurd levels and wrecks the book for me
I don’t believe it’s meant to be outer space but sub orbit where the watch tower was. Either way it’s a bit silly his costume would protect him.
The very idea of failsafe is a stupid gimmick that makes batman look like an idiot
James Tynion's stupid OC being written to have slept with Catwoman during all this adds insult to injury. The past couple of stories have been so much about Batman losing everything. Again and again. Experiencing more self destructive problems than W's. It's Tom King all over again. Turning Bruce into a helpless cuck who people take pity on.
@@darkopzthe other side of the moon is not low orbit. Also, there are about 20 different thing that would kill a person without a proper suit in open space, aside from temperature.
@@vernonhampton5863 why would the watch tower ve on the other side of the moon? I guess I misunderstood what was happening there. And I agreed with you about his suit. It was all a bit dubious.
Bro how is Batman not dead lol
Cause he’s Batman
Plot armor. Smh
@@francoisdemorcy5084 you mean that thing that every superhero has
@@ganstercowmeow4247 yep.
Omegabeam maybe
i like the conversation with batman and HIMSELF. should be more of this.
Ok so Batman just survived re-entry. This mans life is just... Wild.
Yesss the Comic Book Story is finally here.
Damn you are good to capture the audience. Usually, I dont watch vids that's longer than 10 min, but now I couldn't stop watching
Wow what a story, love that it basically redid the killing the justice league storyline. Fail safe could make for an awesome boss in an Arkham game. If only we’d get a justice league game
Secret boss fight?
@@corvusdominus9835 Superboss.
I like how this is presented as a continuation of Tower of Babel. That has always been a favorite story of mine.
Failsafe : batman you took a life
Batman who laughs: am i a joke to you ? :(
we all know that the world's failsafe isn't another Batman but it's Alfred.
17:50 “but all Bruce could think about at this moment, right now, is Dick” 🤣🤣🤣
You know you would think Failsafes first actions should be investigating the "Murder" Before attacking batman, it was made by the worlds greatest detective and yet it just takes the word of some random news report?
I love how cocky/funny Green Arrow is "You think they'll be able to win without me?" and "so whats the trap to stop me?"
I hope we can an animated movie for this story, it would be hype as hell.
I really appreciate you, Benny.
Thank you for putting the links in the shorts.
I know Superman is OP but do they have to make him so stupid. Wouldn't he stay in outer space and attack this robot with his heat vision. Now maybe the robot has a way to shield itself or something but at least it would force Supes to try and come to grips with it.
He tried to Fly away to lure the Robot away with him, but the Robot went after Batman to lure Sups into a trap his consciousness wouldn't let him avoid..
one of the few times id say Superman was trapped and wasn't expecting the style of attack, like he knew he was trapped the moment Failsafe turned back and rushed towards batman, so he flew and chased back, and he probably was expecting a typical attack ie failsafe rotates his body to strike with one of the two kryptonite blades, but he didnt expect or feel the 3rd blade until it pierced him.
By the time he fought him in the arctic at least he had a lot of chances he didn't take.
And somehow Failsafe hit his pressure points even though he's covered in armor
He is not op or ever will be op in batman story's he just a puppy to serve batman
This coverage of the subject is mind blowing thank you for this video
Hold on, failsafe was built by batman in case he goes rogue, but wouldn't he also make sure that failsafe gets his facts straight? And Zur-En-Ar is a created alternate, but I thought it was gone?
The only person I see honestly giving prep Batman a run for his money, if not flat out out-prep him, is The Midnighter.
My guy just falls from space like its another monday
Thank you for putting the info to what comic issues they are. Best comic book channel.
This batman gives me huge Adam west vibes. I love it that we'd need the og batman to save him
The only one that can take batman out is batman, that’s crazy
That's one hell of a failsafe.
Dudes plot armor in this one was on god mode
It seems like a money grab. Batman said the Justice league was his fail safe. If I remember the cartoon.
Technically it was the other batman who made it. Remember , Bruce did not even remember it existed and that's unlikely if HE made it
@@spectraphantom1083 aight. I'm not that big into comics so I'll go with ya on this one.
@@Forgemno
Dude Batman is just a Human..
This is REALLY What he was hoping the JLA could handle..
When you fight batman it's not just a fierce brawl, it's mind altering mental gymnastics..
@@myman8336 Well....Bane may think otherwise.
It's a big multiverse.
10:34 Hehehehe..... Failsafe bonking the Singal in the background.
I like how batman said the contingency for batman is the justice league even though he made plans to stop the justice league
33:55 Batman has tanked: hits from a robot designed to kill him; falling from space, including re-entry; and a weapon that Superman has to hide from humanity.
Unrelated, Batman technically hasn't ever died in continuity.
So basically failsafe is batman with alot of prep time. and people say batman can get killed easilly thats funny
He's better. This story proved failsafe is Batman without a flesh and bone body and so capable of movies Ng and fighting much better than he ever could.
He's better. This story proved failsafe is Batman without a flesh and bone body and so capable of movies Ng and fighting much better than he ever could.
Why would Batman even bother with crime? These old comics make no sense. They are “cool” just to be cool but miss the basic lines of reasoning that make a good lore.
He can literally make a robot that is better then him and place one on every block. I’m going back to chainsaw man.
no no, failsafe IS batman's prep time. Full stop.
Batman just needs any dude with a gun for a backup plan 😂
How did Batman survive the vacuum of space?
Wait HOW DID HE SURVIVE A FREE FALL FROM ORBIT?!?!?
Superman can move at speeds at which failsafe cannot comprehend . He can even think and process shit in superspeed. Failsafe’s moves/reactions/attacks should be in slow motion for super man. And yet he got battered twice lol
So not only can Batman breathe in space, he can survive reentry without burning up.
17:49 “All Bruce can think about, RIGHT NOW, at THIS MOMENT, is DICK-“
batman surviving space cold and heat is so stupid
Dc has fallen off hard
@oneaboveallferrarifan2725 nah they haven't fallen off but batman is not a super human he can't survive that
And no space helmet.
The art for this volume is amazing, but I just can't come to comprehend failsafe's existence as a whole. For a contingency plan designed to take Batman down and replace him, there seems to be way too many oversights for it to actually be considered deployable, especially with the part where it runs the city similar to how Braniac and Superior Spider-Man do.
