[@VerdantRange]

I would have mentioned how Batman knowledge of Sailor Moon since he was able to instantly figure out that this Japanese woman Clark introduced him to named Hino Rei was really Martian Manhunter in disguise since that's the name of Sailor Mars. He even said the name was a dead giveaway.

[@VerdantRange]

According to what I've found, that was in issue #27 of the JLA comic from 1997-2006.

[@GabrielToribioMonsta]

StarDigian Batman is Sailor Moon fan?!

[@VerdantRange]

Apparently. It's in JLA #27.

[@GabrielToribioMonsta]

StarDigian I so want to see Ben Affleck get caught with Sailor Moon Videos on the Bat Computer. 😂😂😂

[@lightyearpig12]

Alfred: Master Bruce, I've prepared the Batsuit for your night out. Anything else you would-WHOA MAMA! Bruce: This isn't what it looks like Alfred, I was just doing research! (Alfred starts laughing) Alright I admit it, this show is a guilty pleasure of mine. Got a problem with that?

[@NitronNeutron]

A batroom that is so immatu... I want it now.

[@dragonsblood23]

The Riddler once made Batman give an infant a tracheotomy with rusty tools because he inserted a ping pong ball in the child's throat

[@drakonorkan1372]

damn, so in a realistic standpoint, the riddler is like saw. Comic Drake, do a video of the Riddler's most notorious/insane schemes, please. i'm curious.

[@Spllyn]

Drakon Orkan Yes

[@sixghill1925]

not only this, he did this so batman had slit the throat of a baby making him eligible to be demonically sacrificed

How about a video of Batman 1st things? Like the 1st use of a batarang, 1st batplane. 1st actual joke told by the Joker, 1st bird used by the Penguin, 1st Batman disguise, and other 1st's that was Batman?

[@saintlugia]

Batfact #372 Bruce does have a lot of living relatives. Damien, his son. Kate & Bette kane his cousins on his mother side. His maternal uncles Philup and Jaccob Kane. Van or Vanderveer wayne his cousin and Agatha wayne his paternal aunt. Plus if all that's not crazy enough Bruce may in fact have a long lost brother.

[@katherinecornett5073]

Also Elizabeth Kane is his cousin too seeing as she’s still alive.

I need to see the Whirly-Bat taken seriously! You see Superman fly off and then see Batman catch up to him in the Whirly-Bat

[@GabrielToribioMonsta]

Wait a minute... Batman writes Superman's checks!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 #Burn No wonder Supe's is always got Barman's back; and why he can't beat him. Superman: "This man writes my pay checks; and he banged my wife." 😂😂😂😂

[@Darqueness]

Not only does he own the building and the paper Supes works for, but in some continuities he even owns the apartment building where Clark lives. So literally Batman writes his checks, then gets it right back as rent.

[@richiesahlin6409]

Darqueness So supes is Batman's bitch huh?

[@kinshuksachdeva]

Considering Jor-El saved Wayne enterprise from bankruptcy that's the least Batman could do.

[@dccomicsfan4345]

Batman's banged Catwoman, Talia, Black Canary, kisses Poison Ivy, and he kisses Harley Quinn, damn Batman fucks a lot of female superheroes/villians, he also a romance with Wonder Woman, and bangs Batgirl as well in the DC animated universe like holey sh%t.

[@moistedits4455]

DC Comics Fan haha facts

[@nintomdo6472]

What about when Bruce Wayne wanted to adopt Jason Todd but Dick Grayson also wanted to adopt Jason? Although I guess that's more of a Nightwing fact.

[@theissingM]

Batman did actually use a yellow ring once (I forget where he got it) during the Trinity War event (where chinese knock off-like super villains invaded earth one and took over) but he didn't do do well, power ring (knock off green lantern) was able to take out his constructs easily. However it did attract Sinestro whom batman was able to convince to help them defeat the crime syndicate. And thats the story of how batman teamed up with Sinestro, Captain Cold, Black Manta, Lex Luthor, Bizaro, and Black Adam to take down the crime syndicate.

[@theissingM]

oh, shoot

[@RobinDJoker]

Pretty sure that was Forever Evil, not Trinity War

[@jamesdolan9679]

Did you know batman peed his pants once.

[@philiphockenbury6563]

The Bat-cave does not have a toilet, he's prepared for even the most improbable scenarios, but the Bat-cave, the place where Bruce probably spends most of his time, no toilet in Canon as far as I know.

Did you know Batman once made out with a goat?

[@HovektheArtist]

David Tigas did you know batmans mom seduced him when he time traveled and had amnesia

[@ndrartphotography3744]

Did you know, Batman and Alfred got Into a bet in Legends of The Dark Knight Issue 1, published on Dec. 1st, 2012. The bet was to see if Bruce had any weaknesses. One night he was out on patrol and saw a robing, the same one that took his parents. Apparently, Alfred hired the thugs to beat up Bruce, and proved that Batman had weaknesses. He lost one dollar to Alfred.

[@sirsir9665]

In his mind Bruce only refers to himself as Batman.

[@Abominatrix650]

Alright, how's this: In that same book you showed us, it is revealed that the Batcave is maintained by a dwarf-like man with great skill in engineering and works there in exchange for living in the cave

[@jonnyg8694]

_Did you know that Wayne Enterprises actually bought The Daily Planet from LexCorp? LexCorp was planning on shutting down The Daily Planet, I believe and eventually Bruce came to the rescue and bought it preventing Lex Luthor from making it defunct!_

[@blazeallen4203]

Hell yeah! Whirly Bat and Amalgam! What's not to love?

[@ameliadavidson360]

Yes, please make more of these fact videos!!! I knew some of these because my ex was SUPER obsessed with Batman on an unhealthy level. But I did learn quite a few. I'm still laughing about the Whirly Bat. P.S. Awesome "Batroom"!

[@cooltrainervaultboy-39]

I laugh at the part in BvS where Bruce was like, "Daily Planet? Do I own that one or was it the other one?" I don't know what the other one was, but that scene was funny if you got the joke.

[@HovektheArtist]

CoolTrainer: VaultBoy-39 the other one is probably the one supergirl works for in national city

Nice video. Been reading Batman-comics since the 90s and still learned something new. :)

[@lukey2113]

There were a couple I didn't know...good stuff. Keep it coming CD.

[@patheticguide1657]

I really liked this style of video, you should do more for other characters. Definitely learned somethings as well.

[@jewellsgemmine9345]

Drake, my friends know as the hardcore Batman fan of the group because I know a lot about Batman and all of his best and worst stories, my friends even got me the old Batman movie Topps trading cards for my birthday. But I enjoy going on KZbin to find videos that tell facts about Batman that I know or didn't know. So this video was really helpful in letting me learn more about my favorite superhero.

[@jewellsgemmine9345]

Comic Drake Yeah and the fact that Batman owns the Daily Planet really came out of nowhere for me.

[@ForgeCD]

My first encounter with the whirly bat was with LEGO Batman 2, it was always my favorite flying vehicle

[@squeethemog213]

This was really fun and actually had stuff I didn't know about. Yay for actually obscure facts :D

Don't you judge him, viewer! Don't you dare. ;-P

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if Batman had a "Batroom" where he uses the restroom lol. I didn't know the last fact and the other time someone tried to bang Bruce for a kid.

I actually first heard about the whirly-bat through lego Batman 2 video game. Good times.

[@cjuw]

[@crazyguyinmak77]

Well you taught me that Bruce's kryptonite ring is the one that took lex's hand back when he had the robot one. I missed the point when batman got it. Always assumed he'd obtained the kryptonite and forged the ring himself. Great video Drake

[@notorious3174]

dude your vids are awesome

[@frankburns8594]

Great video! I really didn't know several of these.

[@gamerdogdude8523]

Watchmojo would have a video saying “top 10 not known Batman facts. number 10, Batman has a sidekick.”

[@levi-allen]

in Batman: The Animated Series, Joker is referred to as "Jack Napier", the same name used in Jack Nicolson's protrayle of The Clown Prince of Crime

[@cooltrainervaultboy-39]

Oh, as a fun comic book fact, Peter Parker makes perfect pancakes because his spider-sense tells him when to flip it. This prompted me to joke that this is the same reason why Miguel O'Hara makes perfect tortillas. Haha! It's cool I'm half Hispanic like him so I can make that joke.

[@Vaati1992]

Captain America has a German counterpart, who used to be go under the moniker of Hauptmann Deutschland (literally Captain Germany), but later switched to Vormund (custodian/legal guardian), and who was inspired by Steve Rogers' involvement in WW2 and their shared dislike of fascists and Nazis. He's still around , though barely used (his last appearance was in Mighty Avengers Vol 2 #4 back in 2014), and in Germany for the longest time he was merely called Freiheitskämpfer (Freedom Fighter) to avoid looking jingoistic.

[@eman2863]

Batman once, after becoming terrified of bats, became star man, but he keep robin around

[@MrMaxHauser]

The recent Batman/Shadow crossover says that all of Bruce's training was under the The Shadow who was using multiple aliases, including Henri Ducard, to train him

[@zestfulmaple6113]

I first heard of the Whirlybat from LEGO Batman 2

I actually didn't know the one about the 'Goddamn Batman' line from All-Star. So yay I did learn something

of course there's hundreds of weird an unusual Batman facts out there but this one was very entertaining to watch! thanks for the vid.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Also, fun fact on Batman of Zur En Arrh: he was animated in Batman the Brave and the Bold and the episode featuring many returning voice actors from the Timmverse DC animated shows! Check it out!

[@BomberDX97]

I knew about Batman owning the daily planet because of Batman V Superman

[@RecoveringWeeb]

I first heard of the Whirly-Bat from LEGO Batman 3. If you can even call it that anymore.

[@sadib100]

I wish I could find online the story where Pre-Crisis Earth-2 Batman dies. That's pretty cool how they killed off the original Batman and never brought him back. Kal-L is technically still alive since Convergence prevented COIE.

[@jandarreltan8566]

I just watched it today, i am a teen and i have only started reading comics for the last two years, and damnit, i know all of these facts even tho i don't focus on Batman due to him being familiar to me.

-Batman can survive for >10 Seconds in space without any special protection. -A IRL Batman's body would give out in ~3 years -Batman engineered the plans used by ra's al ghul in tower of babel -Batman fatally poisoned Darksei'd

Enjoy your videos Drake, still hope you branch into the indy world, missing so much stuff by closing off that option. Would love to hear you review Daniel Clowes, Charles Burns, Benjamin Marra etc... Then again only so many hours in the day, good luck either way man :)

[@nightblockprimecraft9284]

I found out about the Whirly bat by way of an early 2000s world of Batman book and the Lego toy that even appears in Lego Batman 2

[@speedforce7512]

I knew all of these except the last one that one just made me laugh so hard but I did know about the Bruce and Lois thing

[@avace917]

The only thing I actually knew already was the origin of the "God Damned Batman" quote

[@bluey1328]

I would argue that of all time superman would probably be the most popular. right now of course its batman and probably even for the past 30 or so years but we cant forget that people LOVED superman (heck i still like him alot too) for a long time, i attribute this to batmans real kiddy nature during the sixtys up through the eightys (not that kiddy batman was bad, but it probably warded a few people off)

[@NelsonMontana1234]

Being old school, -- way, way old...I love the artwork of Dick Sprang -- who also has the most awesome name ever. And what many people don't realize, is thet Detective comics i the late 40's were actually detective stories and that includes Batman stories. And as goofy as the 50's were, I recommend to everyone to read "The Rainbow Batman." Silly , weird, ridiculous and with a surprise ending that I bet you won't catch.

[@Icefireninja8]

[@Sable-Industries]

I don't know if I should be happy or sad that I already knew most of these facts.

[@cody3504]

Just starting the video and I really respect the disclaimer in the beginning since I tend to walk into these things realizing I learned nothing new lol You know what would be cool is if Batman and Luthor were secretly friends or something and that's how Bruce got the kryptonite from him. What if Batman and Luthor scheme plans against Superman for some kind of reimbursement policy or something a billionaire would think of to make more money. I think it would be an interesting twist on the characters.

Did you know that there are two bug-themed Batman rogues with the same last name? There are both Jumbo Carson, AKA Ant-Man (yes, Ant-Man), who turned himself 1 foot tall permanently by accident, as well as Ted Carson, AKA Firefly. It is never said in the comics, at least to my knowledge, that these characters have any relation.

[@JTManuel]

The whirlybat was used extensively in the super friends series I think.

[@IHeartVideoGames08]

I knew literally none of those fact. Good job Drake!

[@MacTimiT]

Nice list, but a small critique i have is that there isn't a counter or indication of any sort that it's a new fact wich can sometimes make it confusing to know where a fact ends and a new one begins. But apart from that keep up the good work.

[@ZylethXenocian]

I like how a ton of these I didn't actually know for once. I knew the Whirli-bat and "I'm the goddamn Batman", but the rest I did not. However, I would separate them with numbers in between each fact. By doing this it helps keep facts from kinda mixing together and creating confusion. Plus it makes the video longer and gives you more of that KZbin revenue.

[@truetrash5164]
