I like this idea with Bruce’s parents being a little more abrasive than what one would think. For so long Bruce Wayne has been depicted as a product of an event (Nurture) but relatively little exploration has come about from his Nature ...that tenacity, darkness, focus, athleticism and even his vulnerability to brokenness may come from a genetic (Nature) source as well.
Yeah...Goldpoint has happened several times. Even come to the point Booster killed himself...or rather faked his own death by killing himself. So he did kill himself but it wasn't him but it was him. So he did die but he did not die. So, in turn, he was alive and dead. In this weird paradox of that Booster survived his own suicide...all against Superman. So yeah...Booster Gold is his own Paradox. As he should exist but he does exist. Really somewhere in a bar Reverse Flash and Booster are drinking and just trying to figure out where they went wrong with Time Travel BS.
Heya Rob! I know you did one video on Image Comics 'Invincible' I know it would be multiple videos and take a while...but could you cover that series? The entire series ha. Thanks!
I think you got booster's motivation. Booster did this to show Bruce that if his parent didnt die, gotham will be shitty place so that Bruce should celebrate the fact that his parent died. The gift is to tell Bruce that his parents dying is good things. Not to show Bruce what happiness with his parent is like.
Rob....It is IMPERATIVE that you cover the rest of Superboy Prime's saga...From the end of Sinestro War-to WAR OF 3 WORLDS- to BLACKEST NIGHT- to PRIME vs TEEN TITANS...AND HIS IMPRISONMENT ON THE SOURCE WALL!!! THE SOURCE WALL IS BROKEN! PRIME IS FREE!!!
TheOther Dude that may be another reason why l I liked it compared to others. Besides his appearance in JL 3000, and 52, I haven't read much Booster Gold, so I'm not entirely sure how his character should be
Funny you should bring this video out now. I just watched “Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay”, and there’s a direct tie-in with the animated adaptation of Flashpoint that you might be interested in. I don’t know if you like animated movies, but you might appreciate these two in how they interpret some of the comic continuity.
Interesting easter egg to Jason Todd's origin. He was first introduced to us in the comics as the guy who tried to steal tires of the Batmobile. Here he is the guy who developed the anti-tire stealing tech. Also, every time I see someone famous selling car related stuffs on tv I cannot stop thinking of Ralph Machio in Kobra Kai. Great video as always !
Bruce wayne vs red hood yes... batman is more intelligent, more prepared, better hand to hand fighter, the only thing he wouldn't be most likely is a better shooter. He is all around better then red hood. so i mean yes really
Veinaru71 well Jason Todd along with his combat skills the pit gave him superhuman durability and strength he could easily overpower Batman if he wasn't do reckless
The much simpler explanation for why this didn't change things is that it is a causality loop, it's the way it always happened. The fight is the reason they were in Crime Alley, so there were no changes, just a convoluted and fun progression of events.
Rob, my nickname for the Punisher since the animated movie they did with him and Black Widow is Batbo (mashup of Batman and Rambo) because that's how he felt to me in that. Actually, he's kinda been portayed that way a lot.
Which would be correct for the calculation of Frieza's death Ball to Destroy the Planet: Option A or B A: the calculated power needed to destroy the Earth with a Nuclear Explosion is approximately 700,000 Megatons of TNT, (1st Form Freiza's Death Ball). The largest Man-made explosion ever recorded was (Tsar Bomb) 50 Megatons of TNT. To Destroy the MilkyWay Galaxy with a Nuclear Explosion (Ki Blast), it would take approximately a Million x (Trillion x Trillion) times 700,000 Megatons of TNT, = 7e+35 Megatons of TNT. (Galaxy Buster, or Super Perfect CELL) To Destroy the estimated 100 Billion Galaxies in the Observable Universe it would take 7e+46 Megatons Of TNT(Universe Buster) and twice of that to make him Multiversal. (Beerus) B: Joules it takes 53 Quadrillion Megatons of force ti destroy Earth or 2.5e+32 Joules. It is derived from formula E = 3*G*M^2/5*r This formula is called Gravitational Binding Energy formula G = Gravitational Constant = 6.67408e-11 Mass = Kg = 5.972e+24 Kg for Earth Radius = Meters = 6,371,000 meters for Earth putting this number in we get 2.5e+32 Joules of Energy..
I never like stories that state that if not for the hero's tragedy then the world would be worse off. It basically says "killing Bruce's parents was good" which is such a messed up thing. Personally my favorite 'The Waynes Never Died' story is _Gotham Adventures_ #33 where it shows that Gotham is quite different. Bruce is happily married to Selina Kyle while other characters like Barbara Gordon is miserable. It feels more natural to show that things are different, not just worse.
Kevin Velazquez in the all star batman series he had a back up 8 part mini that showed his training, he would also occasionally help batman in the series Then he got a 4 part mini series called batman and the signal where he starts going out on his own, faces his first villain and a bunch of cool shit happens Currently he’s Gotham’s protector in the daylight Next month he’ll start appearing in detective comics where he’ll be in a team under the supervision of black lightning
ROB! I thought you were going to point out the irony of Jason Todd working to protect people’s car tires when in the mainline universe he was stealing people’s car tires lol
I thought that it was funny about him focusing on protecting tires, especially since one of the stories that had Jason Todd stealing the wheels from the Batmobile
Everytime I hear about booster gold and beetle keep thinking about how WB screwed the audiences od DC movies and tv. Plans to use them on shows but then embargos them for a movie, cancels movie but still refuses to use them on shows because they might want to use them... not yet but might. Other things planned but ditched you can't have because character embargos Arrowverse's Suicide Squad show, Wonder Woman show, Teen Titans, Nightwing show, and scrapped any plans for The Question,Amanda Waller, and Harley appearances on the shows.
I actually like the small rewrite of how time travel is going to work in dc, and the story over all was actually pretty cool, I don’t think there has been a story where Bruce and his parents were alive i actually would be very interested to know about that timeline and it’s events that took place in that timeline.
I enjoyed certain parts of this story... I liked the concept, I liked how King wrote Booster, hated how he wrote Bruce, hated how Catwoman never talked and only said "Meow"... So basically I thought everything that wasn't Batman was the best part of the story... King needs to be taken off this book and write some more DC miniseries... In my opinion.
This was one of my favourite batman arcs in this run easily it's awesome plus booster gold is one of my favourite super,heroes so this was great to see him come back in such an awesome story In a very booster gold way. Felt very much out 52 or geoff John's run on booster. Also this story has hard ass guns Bruce Wayne,physo killer cat woman and guns blazing dick Grayson batman. Also I'm so happy skeets coke back Ik he was in action comics which wasn't even a bad story it was pretty gd but this is the skeets i remember from pre new 52.
Okay. I'll be honest. With the lanterns being by favourite heroes of all time, seeing Hal Jordan, alternate universe or Not, fucking shooting himself in the head with his ring while smiling like a mad man is traumatic
I loved booster i followed his series post infinite crisis and 52 weekly series, but didn't he vanish or faded away into nothing screaming something like "i failed" or "this was not supposed to happen" during the first few weeks/months of the new 52 universe? I dont know what happened after that or exactly how he's here now?
Just curious, is there a story where Magneto invades Wakanda and rips all the adamantiam out of the ground in a stupidly strong display of power? That would be an AMAZING scene in the MCU as Magneto just decimates the most power country in the world❤️❤️❤️
because this is saying that batman is the product of an alternate timeline created by a time traveler and not the original events, where the waynes didnt take a dark alley and just went home normally
This version of Dick Grayson as Batman makes sense to me. Without Batman as a mentor and nobody to help him deal with the deaths of his parents it would make sense for him to be consumed by the same anger and depression that made Bruce into Batman. The difference is Dick is not rich and unable to go through the same training as Batman as a result. He probably has to use guns and kill people to keep up with the criminals in Gotham.
Does this possibly imply that Dr Manhattan needed Barry to access the speed force to alter time? Since Manhattan sees all time at once, did he know to alter time via the Speed Force at Flashpoint because it was such a huge event?
On the Jason Todd segment, I remember as a kid seeing a cover where Jason is stealing tires off the batmobile. Is that another parallel? Am I remembering wrong?
Funny that Jason Todd became a tire mechanic after he was trying to steal the Batmobile's tires.
'Member when Jason tried to steal the batmobile's tires? I 'member.
Hermes I 'member
pepperidge farm 'members
He has a hobby for tires
Yeah, Things were so much simpler back then.
S B damn. I was gonna say that
The gift AKA the Batpoint story!
Hm, anyone notice Catwoman had that Michelle Pfier costume from Batman Returns?
I like this idea with Bruce’s parents being a little more abrasive than what one would think.
For so long Bruce Wayne has been depicted as a product of an event (Nurture) but relatively little exploration has come about from his Nature ...that tenacity, darkness, focus, athleticism and even his vulnerability to brokenness may come from a genetic (Nature) source as well.
This story really got me enthusiastic for the wedding. Also, Booster isn't quite a goober in 52. 52 is amazing.
Just Some Guy with a Mustache Notice Me Senpai!
notice me also senpai
Wait till you read the next issues as well as the prelude.
There I gave you that 52nd like
Anyone else notice that was the Batman Returns style Catwoman suit?
I submit a motion to refer to this alternate universe as "Goldpoint". All in favour, say "Aye".
Yeah...Goldpoint has happened several times. Even come to the point Booster killed himself...or rather faked his own death by killing himself. So he did kill himself but it wasn't him but it was him. So he did die but he did not die. So, in turn, he was alive and dead. In this weird paradox of that Booster survived his own suicide...all against Superman. So yeah...Booster Gold is his own Paradox. As he should exist but he does exist. Really somewhere in a bar Reverse Flash and Booster are drinking and just trying to figure out where they went wrong with Time Travel BS.
DarthVaderReviews aye
Aye
Aye
all people should learn about Booster Gold is "Crowd Control" 😏
Gabriel Quintin You talking about that Justice League episode?
StoryTeller
yes! lol
I member too
I member!
Heya Rob! I know you did one video on Image Comics 'Invincible' I know it would be multiple videos and take a while...but could you cover that series? The entire series ha. Thanks!
I second that vote and you did one story and then left sooo COVER THAT $@!%
for the love of medusa yes please!!! i hope he covers the invincible series
Yes do it just do it
Yes and for the love of god please more xo manowar I would be happy with one vid a month on either of these
Yaaasssss! Enough Marvel and DC. Time for some Valiant and Image Comics. Saga, Invincible, Harbinger Wars!
Rob you have knowledge and an understanding of comix, just amazing
I think you got booster's motivation. Booster did this to show Bruce that if his parent didnt die, gotham will be shitty place so that Bruce should celebrate the fact that his parent died. The gift is to tell Bruce that his parents dying is good things. Not to show Bruce what happiness with his parent is like.
Rob....It is IMPERATIVE that you cover the rest of Superboy Prime's saga...From the end of Sinestro War-to WAR OF 3 WORLDS- to BLACKEST NIGHT- to PRIME vs TEEN TITANS...AND HIS IMPRISONMENT ON THE SOURCE WALL!!! THE SOURCE WALL IS BROKEN! PRIME IS FREE!!!
OH NO! HE WILL KILL US TO DEATH!!
The story arc where Booster tries to stop Blue Beetle's death is probably one of the best comic books of all time.
Fortunate Anane same
DAAMMMNNNNN!!!! the gunshot that led the Waynes to the alley that eventually led to their death....DC has some badass writing..
The Gift is Flashpoint. Batman style
I know a lot of people hated this story, but personally I really enjoyed it.
I liked this story, as well.
me too
Howard James me too
Liked the idea of it, but Booster was acting way too out of character
TheOther Dude that may be another reason why l I liked it compared to others. Besides his appearance in JL 3000, and 52, I haven't read much Booster Gold, so I'm not entirely sure how his character should be

Great video as always !
Was pulling an all nighter watching your vids Rob, thanks for this one this early!
Batman removes Bat hood to revile Frank Castle. I would have a stroke......
DC Rebirth is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth
4:08 Batman did become the Punisher. AzBat in KnightQuest.
I kinda liked Boostergold with a beard
Rob you forgot one in your face Jason Todd point. His introduction to Batman was when Batman found him stealing tires off the Batmobile.
BATPOINT!!! Great upload bro...Keep em Coming!!!
If batman became the punisher wouldn't it just be the red hood
i mean...not really...batman is much more intelligent and capable then red hood.
Veinaru71 not really
Bruce wayne vs red hood yes... batman is more intelligent, more prepared, better hand to hand fighter, the only thing he wouldn't be most likely is a better shooter. He is all around better then red hood. so i mean yes really
Ur Momma yeah realy
Veinaru71 well Jason Todd along with his combat skills the pit gave him superhuman durability and strength he could easily overpower Batman if he wasn't do reckless
Dude because of you I know somewhat of what's going on thanks for these videos awesome!
The much simpler explanation for why this didn't change things is that it is a causality loop, it's the way it always happened. The fight is the reason they were in Crime Alley, so there were no changes, just a convoluted and fun progression of events.
G morning rob! Are you ever gonna do a full story version of injustice?
Alexander Hill watch it on comicstorian it's almost complete
Robs reaction to that death scene was soooo funny!
this story was freaking nuts
Tevya Smolka ikr it was pretty good
I just watched the pickle Rick episode😂😂 plz do a video on Finn the human and everything he's overcome and accomplished 👌
I loved this story, even thought it was strange at times, I still found this to be a clasic!
I like how they made Jason a tire mechanic but in the og origin he tried to boost the batmobile's tires
Rob, my nickname for the Punisher since the animated movie they did with him and Black Widow is Batbo (mashup of Batman and Rambo) because that's how he felt to me in that. Actually, he's kinda been portayed that way a lot.
I saw a comment down there saying that batman the gift should be called 'Batpoint' that's so clever go like his comment 😂
I love Booster Gold almost as much as I love Tony S. Daniel's Art
booster gold, the best hero you've never heard of!
You are like the only one who I heard say they liked this story
adam quenano I've seen him like so much crap.
Kevin Vu Comics are subjective just like everything. What you like isn’t the law on it being good or bad..
ROSPoetry1 I'm only stating an opinion. I ain't railing on anyone. I kind of just agreed but seen him like other trash stories.
Seems you failed to understand my previous comment. What is a trash story to you, is a good story to someone else. That was my point.
The man loves comics.

Whatever Happened to Duke Thomas? I don't think I've seen or heard mention of him since the The Forge.
He has his own series now , with his metahuman powers and working at daylight
Good to know. Thanks!
Kevin Velazquez in the all star batman series he had a back up 8 part mini that showed his training, he would also occasionally help batman in the series
Then he got a 4 part mini series called batman and the signal where he starts going out on his own, faces his first villain and a bunch of cool shit happens
Currently he’s Gotham’s protector in the daylight
Next month he’ll start appearing in detective comics where he’ll be in a team under the supervision of black lightning
He's trapped in the badcave somewhere deep in the depths of a third or forth secret batcave in the cave.
He had a miniseries following Metal and will be featured in the next story arc in
Detective Comics
Hey Rob, you should do podcasts id listen the hell out of them (thats if you arent already and im somehow missing out)
SEWFSIDE5 he’s in a Podcast with Comicstorian, called RBnE
Cheers been listenin allday
Booster Gold has been a big character in the new Justice League Action animated series; my son loves him.
Hey Rob
Jason Todd’s new tire invention is a throwback to his origin stealing the tires of the batmobile.
How did you miss that ?!!
This story is going to be awesome.
I love how you explain what Batman is in the description XD
Oh Booster, Booster, Booster... I miss Booster Gold hope we see more of him when Rebirth is done
Omg! They killed Alfred!! U bastards!🤣 🤣 🤣
Please justice by Alex ross
I love Justice, I felt it was better than Kingdom Come honestly.
I would tell you Marvel only but I should not have to.
Awesome video thanks man
ROB! I thought you were going to point out the irony of Jason Todd working to protect people’s car tires when in the mainline universe he was stealing people’s car tires lol
Remember when Kyle Rayner and Wally West where comedy gold too ?
This comic line-up has better art design than the No Justice storyline, and also poor Booster Gold
I thought that it was funny about him focusing on protecting tires, especially since one of the stories that had Jason Todd stealing the wheels from the Batmobile
Everytime I hear about booster gold and beetle keep thinking about how WB screwed the audiences od DC movies and tv.
Plans to use them on shows but then embargos them for a movie, cancels movie but still refuses to use them on shows because they might want to use them... not yet but might. Other things planned but ditched you can't have because character embargos Arrowverse's Suicide Squad show, Wonder Woman show, Teen Titans, Nightwing show, and scrapped any plans for The Question,Amanda Waller, and Harley appearances on the shows.
i just thought of something. Booster Gold needs his own comic, that is written as a 30th century reality show.
Booster Gold might just be the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth,lol
T B he is tho
Dxsmp oh i agree whole heartedly.... Booster Gold is killin it in Rebirth. Was just kind of surprised Rob didn't say that in this video.
That was one hell of a gift
If this was turned into a movie and written halfway decently it would be the first billion dollar DC movie.
I actually like the small rewrite of how time travel is going to work in dc, and the story over all was actually pretty cool, I don’t think there has been a story where Bruce and his parents were alive i actually would be very interested to know about that timeline and it’s events that took place in that timeline.
There is but he still becomes Batman it's called To Kill a Legend from Detective Comics #500 IIRC
Bro can you please do All Hail Megatron part 2 come on Rob Lookout you gave us the best story so far and stop that was a big tease bro come on 💪💪💪
Bout time we talking bout the best DC hero booster gold lol
WE NEED A RUN OF THIS TIMELINE
Batman looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger from Commando, NOT Terminator
I enjoyed certain parts of this story... I liked the concept, I liked how King wrote Booster, hated how he wrote Bruce, hated how Catwoman never talked and only said "Meow"... So basically I thought everything that wasn't Batman was the best part of the story... King needs to be taken off this book and write some more DC miniseries... In my opinion.
honestly, when i got to the last page my thought was 'thank god thats over'
God damnit, Buster Gold, you fucked it all up.
Welp looks like Booster Gold created ANOTHER Flashpoint!
This was one of my favourite batman arcs in this run easily it's awesome plus booster gold is one of my favourite super,heroes so this was great to see him come back in such an awesome story In a very booster gold way. Felt very much out 52 or geoff John's run on booster. Also this story has hard ass guns Bruce Wayne,physo killer cat woman and guns blazing dick Grayson batman. Also I'm so happy skeets coke back Ik he was in action comics which wasn't even a bad story it was pretty gd but this is the skeets i remember from pre new 52.
Me the beginning of the story: 😶😯😨😱😫😫😭😭😭
Me at the end of the story: 😶😯😳👍👍💯💯👌👌🙌🙌🙌
You didn't mention that stealing tires goes back to Jason todds origin too
Booster was boss in "52" and count down.
Okay. I'll be honest. With the lanterns being by favourite heroes of all time, seeing Hal Jordan, alternate universe or Not, fucking shooting himself in the head with his ring while smiling like a mad man is traumatic
Please Rob please do JLA Salvation Run!
I loved booster i followed his series post infinite crisis and 52 weekly series, but didn't he vanish or faded away into nothing screaming something like "i failed" or "this was not supposed to happen" during the first few weeks/months of the new 52 universe? I dont know what happened after that or exactly how he's here now?
Just curious, is there a story where Magneto invades Wakanda and rips all the adamantiam out of the ground in a stupidly strong display of power? That would be an AMAZING scene in the MCU as Magneto just decimates the most power country in the world❤️❤️❤️
TheGrimDuck13 there’s only vibranium in wakanda and no he didn’t
He did rip the adamantium off wolverine before though
Word of advice, never mess with the timeline (cough flash cough)
It’s funny because Batman met Jason when he was trying to steal the tires on the bat mobile
Bruce Wayne as Paladin in the Vixen/Anansi universe
3:47 you said Blue Beetle lol
Joel is gonna be SO MAD, LOL!
Alfred is just another Kenny 😂😂😂😂😂😂
because this is saying that batman is the product of an alternate timeline created by a time traveler and not the original events, where the waynes didnt take a dark alley and just went home normally
This is event changing event. It should have been like Flashpoint.
Booster gold is great a saviour masquerading as a clown
Man rob... you called that punisher Batman...
can you do a video on Stormbreakers new powers for the MCU?
This version of Dick Grayson as Batman makes sense to me. Without Batman as a mentor and nobody to help him deal with the deaths of his parents it would make sense for him to be consumed by the same anger and depression that made Bruce into Batman. The difference is Dick is not rich and unable to go through the same training as Batman as a result. He probably has to use guns and kill people to keep up with the criminals in Gotham.
Can you make like a separate section for the compete storys, Sir
Also Jason todd was found stealing tiers off the Batmobile that's how he got to be robin
Comics explained would you do a video about what if Darth Vader got the Venom symbiote
Does this possibly imply that Dr Manhattan needed Barry to access the speed force to alter time? Since Manhattan sees all time at once, did he know to alter time via the Speed Force at Flashpoint because it was such a huge event?
Starting to realize that booster gold has a lot of weight on his shoulders
I wish you could cover the Assassin's Creed comics.
Nice work.
On the Jason Todd segment, I remember as a kid seeing a cover where Jason is stealing tires off the batmobile. Is that another parallel? Am I remembering wrong?
When is the rest of Hickmans fantastic 4 video coming out?
Hey can you explained the runnaways I just finish watching the show thought it was pretty good. I just wanna know who they are.
