Nice video though you have some egregious pronunciation errors.

[@marhawkman303]

My initial reaction: all of the Batmans are evil, just different kinds of evil. :D

[@TheLaughingBat882]

I’d say the Robin King is the most evil “batman” because he was always evil. Other than the Batman Who Laughs who is just evil because his mind is poisoned.

[@Supreme_King23]

Right, but The Batman Who Laughs is so scary for the fact that it's a batman mixed with the twisted mind of the joker, iconic

[@JenniferPoole.33272]

Both are most terrifying in my opinion. And most insane. But Robin King is most since he was BORN EVIL. O.O

The Dark Knights as a whole was a beautiful look into some of the most twisted and depraved scenarios we never thought were possible. Well that, and offered a glimpse of just how freaking paranoid Bruce Wayne truly is.

[@amyschildgamerlive4519]

Tales from the dark multiverse was also great (that focused on none Bruce Wayne characters lol)

[@opaqueandbluefrommyphone4339]

I wish they would’ve made an entire series of the dark universe instead of a short event that of it. I loved those comics!

[@hdofu]

Definitely, some missed opportunities for alternate Batmans. *The Dark Nightmare-* A Bruce Wayne who ended up in Hal Jordan's posistion as green lantern but would later go on to fight Sinestro and take over his Yellow Lantern Corp recruiting a corp of yellow ringed robins. *The Batom-* A Batman who acquires Captain Atom's powers. *Black Bruce-* Bruce Wayne with the powers of Black Adam

i remember one story where batman randomly found one of joker's cards sitting on his computer in the batcave effectively meaning that the Joker knew batmans secret and knew how to get in to the batcave undetected and instead of warning the rest of the batfamily batman told no one

Small nitpick: the dark multiverse earths are numbered in the negative -1, -2, -3 etc.

[@aggdga]

To sum it up simply: The Batman who laughs comic series was one of the best series ever. Every single version of Batman and their stories was fantastically done. She did a wonderful job of showing what can happen with the simple words "What if...". I still rave about it to this day.

[@ratillecebrasquedubitantiu4451]

Oh y3ah, definitely my favourite storyline in all of DC by a long way. It's so dark and depressing, but plausible in that universe

[@depressedpoptart2998]

[@zan6395]

i mean.. im not surprised by Batman having the most evil variants. cause he's insane u know. like it's canon among most Batman. that paranoia, unrelenting in the"cause". hell he even states his mind is so fragile that he needs the no kill rule. he cradles the no kill rule that done Batmen sacrifice their life on dime to save someone.

[@Xehanort10]

10:27 A Batman with Darkseid's power is a scary thought.

[@lordvika2526]

I still can't understand how Batman went from being so jacked he could fight against Bane to looking like a Crack head. I know it was because of the joker toxin but it shouldn't have changed him physically

[@lordvika2526]

@Man of Tomorrow See if you stop working out you lose the defination of your muscles aka looking cut, but you don't lose the mass of muscle. So in Batmans case he would never get skinny as hell like he does when he becomes the Batman Who Laughs because he built so much muscle mass before that.

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

This is a bitchin sweet video gang, you've really outdone yourselves. Effortlessly riveting, well narrated, edited, and I even love the background slides throughout. Of course it doesn't get much cooler than dark multiverse Batman's haha makes for a great subject to tackle.

[@tjdoescosplay]

The grim knight Batman and Batman hush are my favorite batmen now technically they’re not pure evil they’re just vengeful and one is overprotective consider guns the answer to everything

[@Acacius1992]

So pretty much Anti Villains. They have good/noble causes but the way they are doing it is evil/bad.

[@Rainbow_dash67.]

[@alanwakeish]

The Grim Knight is definitely not like The Punisher. The Grim Knight does things that The Punisher would never do. The Grim Knight, kills innocents and also kills innocent police officers too.

[@chengfu7063]

A battle with the Punisher at this point could be interesting between the two

[@MetaSynForYourSoul]

Barbados was interesting, but I still feel like he should've been evil Batman with the powers of Shazam. A Batman tied to magic would've completed the evil justice league theme PER-FECT-LY. I guess I had built it up in my head canon that's who he was, so when the reveal came around, I guess it was a bit of a let down to learn he was just a pet dragon of The World Forger.

[@stankmcdankton6204]

My sleep deprived brain : " So Barbatos created all Batmen. But these Batmen are all the opposite of Batman Prime. Opposites... Superman and Bizarro Superman.... Barbatos reversed is Sotabrab...Capital S... There's an equal yet opposing entity to Barbatos out there called Sotabrab that is the source of secret power for Kryptonians... WHO IS PEPE SYLVIA!? "

[@syxziz]

that’s not sleep deprivation bro you HAD to have been high 💀

[@AZULAVONDOOM]

did u solve this

[@fanofgodjimindiva2497]

Your list is missing one evil alternate Batman, the version from the Batman & Dracula trilogy, specifically the Crimson Mist graphic novel, where Bruce comes back to life as a bloodthirsty vampire hell bent on sucking the blood of all his enemies and decapitating them

[@trevor8726]

Its also missing Batman triple 6, which is future damian killing villains

[@Saboteur4]

I don't think those are part of the Dark Multiverse. But I could be wrong.

[@shahiydsomakah8117]

I never heard of either of them

[@IzukuMidoriya38855]

Honestly I think that version of Batman didn't want to do that, because Batman. But he ended up doing it because vampire. I think after that Bruce asked Commissioner Gordon and I think Alfred to stake him so he doesn't do it again. IDK.

[@officerspider7996]

That’s not a Dark Multiverse Story, it is a dark story but a common theme with all Dark Multiverse stories is either things were normal until something sends everything Spiraling out of control like Lois Lane becoming the Eradicator, killing villains and heroes or something happens to end the planet like The Batman who laughe

[@catspawgardner3213]

What Alfred did to Bruce I could picture Jarvis doing the same to Tony Stark, Jarvis was the father that Howard wasn't. I can see what happened to Bruce happen to Tony & Tony becomes a cyborg & taking out anyone in his way.

[@ablackguy4561]

Interesting that all these evil batmans are splices of superheroes/supervillains but the one that stood at the top was a batman/joker combo

[@aceray9513]

It weird how many evil Batman’s there are, some make sense but so many to the point where a god decided to recruit a group of pure evil Batman’s, it’s crazy

[@impidimp9331]

BWL, Devastator, Merciless, Drowned, Dawnbreaker, Red Death Murder Machine and Mindhunter are the coolest for me. I just wish they added a Hawk Girl/Batman amalgamation version and named it the Fallen/Fallen Angel.

[@KB-zq9ny]

I kind of want to see a Joker version of the dark knights, not like Batman merged with Joker, but like different versions of Joker. That would be kind of funny, especially if the Joker versions actually appear friendly and nice.

[@ElBandito]

Aka The Jester.

[@MVCx_xB]

its been done a few times in the alternate universes but it's rarely anything as memorable. the jester is one of them

[@kexard]

The Dawnbreaker is my favorite Batman Alternate. A Green Lantern that uses Light constructs of Eldritch Horrors? I’m sold.

[@DarthArachnious]

The other thing about The Darkest Knight. He cast his mind across the Omni-Verse and acquired all the knowledge and abilities of every Batman. That's more terrifying than having Dr Manhattan's powers.

[@groverrogers6916]

Isn't the darkest night just a DC retelling of onslaught

[@matthewchristian9591]

id love too see a dark multiverse batman who becomes a vampire and then wields a black lantern ring and commands the black lantern corps.

Let's be honest, batfrag might be the most neutral and sanest. Just seems like a smarter and more technique ridden lobo

[@MarquisdeSuave]

3:45 No offense, but the Batman Who Laughs is a bit of a try-hard. Just listen to that fake laugh. We get it Bruce, you're in a goth phase and just went with it. Fine, you be you, but you realize that this fake laugh is just hiding all that pain that's in plain sight.

[@hurmur9528]

The batman who laughs have some mouth problems. Just look at the teeth and gums ratio. Probably his teeths are not in good shape and may fall off. He most likely would visit a dentist and probably he would calm down and laugh of joy instead of sadism.

[@jjankrom4398]

You left out the fact that Batman who laughs also started to kill of all of the leagues rougues as well as his. Then he went on to terrestrial threats. He murdered spectre(gods vengeance).

[@thomasstone418]

Did anyone else catch the other books on the shelf for the castle-bat story, Apparently that Bruce has a copy of both the necronomicon and The King in Yellow...

[@Hajiroku]

So basically the genius of the Batman that laughs spawned almost all the greatest evil batmen

Dr Manhattan and the watchmen being part of the DC universe is the dumbest thing that had happened in DC. Alan Moore is justified in his annoyance towards the comic industry, his masterpiece is getting messed up by mediocre writers and uncreative executives.
