Best batman channel fr fr

[@Ace-fl1zm]

My Thoughts exact.

[@porkhill6665]

Mr rogues for the old rogues videos and salzar knight for the history of batman

[@TsukiCondor]

Wasn't too familer with this story 😮, sounds genuinely a great high stake story (small nitpicks aside) from the mid 90s. And yea this does give some chills back to 3 years ago. Also didn't know about Selina's snow suit, that's genuinely cool!

[@Duken13yt]

Finally! The wait between videos is so long, especially since we're in my favorite bat period.

[@SalazarKnight]

I might have to do something about that waiting time... 👀

[@jorsahueza]

Yeeess this was the video I want it to see from the very first time I suscribe to your channel. I love Contagion, it is the first Batman story arc I Ever read... And it leads to No mans land, holy crap, we are in for some great stories starting from now. Thank you Salazar, it is wonderful how you approavh the bat, lov your videos❤

[@SalazarKnight]

Thank you for the kind words and indeed, the next stories are awesome!!

[@paulakroy2635]

10:00 he’s not forgotten, he’s just been killed off. Noonan’s still appears quite often, and section 8 has a couple of apparencrs

[@blytheguy7510]

I'm still waiting for DC to do an omnibus collection of these stories. They could pair this story with the upcoming Legacy crossover to fill out a big collection. Thanks for mentioning HITMAN. He's one of my all time favorite characters. I feel like I know the guy. Lol. And I know these big crossovers were a gimmick, but I enjoyed having to hunt down each part at the time to get the full story. Which I don't have that problem now. I have nearly every Batbook that was ever published between 1985-2013. That includes Batfamily tie in books.

[@MarvelKnight-tw9hb]

Probably one of the darkest and most uncomfortable Batman stories I've ever read!

[@SalazarKnight]

Love your profile picture!

[@MarvelKnight-tw9hb]

@@SalazarKnight thank you so much! This cover is from one of the first Batman comics I ever read! Honestly my favorite era of Batman is the 90s!

[@colinferry]

can't wait for the next video

[@TheGothamite3]

Hey I'm actually early this time. Another awsome video!! One of my favorite 90's Batman stories. Very underrated too. Definitely needs a proper "Deluxe Edition" release.

[@SalazarKnight]

Hey, being early is just one of the benefits of being a channel member! Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate it :) Also, yes. I would love for DC to release Contagion and Legacy together in a special edition. It would be really neat.

[@laurelsilberman5705]

I just found your channel and I’m hooked!

[@SalazarKnight]

I'm very glad to have you here!

[@legotwoface]

Haven't been keeping up with the channel for what feels like forever (sorry),glad to see you're still uploading these great videos.

[@SalazarKnight]

Hey, I'm just glad to have you back! Hope you enjoyed this one :)

[@albertogalvan2444]

Amo tu canal ❤❤❤

[@SalazarKnight]

Amo tus comentarios! 🦇

[@bujilou]

I actually liked this story besides the lazy ending. I'd see it being advertised in the 90s along with no man's land when I'd buy action figures, but back then I had no idea about the world of the comics, I only cared about the toys& animated series

[@user-fc8lx9qf6o]

Hello S. K. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your videos. Can you please make one about the History of Nightwing? Thank you and God speed.

[@esdraslopez4658]

I read this during covid. When Batman came up with a vaccine that fast I thought it was silly but now we have the mRNA technology so I guess he was ahead of his time...again haha. Great story

[@AceLM92]

I regret not watching this when it came out, but I'm still happy to watch it. Great video as always and know No Man's Land is around the corner

[@ericsalas5650]

This comics dark as f

[@emanuelcruzcarrasco4277]

Salazar what are your thoughts on the recently announced batman and robin ongoing by joshua williamson and simone di meo in september

[@SalazarKnight]

It sounds interesting, but it feels lke they're riding the wave of the Batman and Robin movie announcement by James Gunn. We'll see if it's actually any good.

[@ben-jerry-dover8363]

Can't wait for legacy, cataclysm and no man's land

[@anderurteaga3707]

Just to know, do you plan on reviewing comics starring other Batman-related characters, like the Robin trilogy you did a while back? The 90s Catwoman stuff would be interesting, or Birds of Prey.

[@SalazarKnight]

I do and I will. It's just that those videos are not always the most popular ones and I have to think carefully about the topic to make them interesting. But I definitely want to make them. I already have Nightwing and Catwoman videos in mind. It's just a matter of how to approach them.

[@anderurteaga3707]

@Salazar Knight I see, well, your content is among the best when it comes to the Batman mythos and history, so maybe when the community grows large enough. I’ll definitely watch them. Your Night Cries video almost broke me into tears.

[@MutantsInDisguise]

The last 90s Batman crossover I actually enjoyed. Yep, as a spoiler, I didn't like No Man's Land.

[@SalazarKnight]

I can totally understand why!

[@MarvelKnight-tw9hb]

If you don't mind me asking what is it that you don't like about no man's land?

[@gaberiallangley2883]

I enjoyed no man’s land myself and was wondering same thing

[@BATMANYSPIDER23]

Which was your favorite Batman comics decade?

[@SalazarKnight]

It's a toss between the 70s and the 90s. Really good decades.

[@theultimatememelord5494]

Ah, yes. Batman vs the Coronavirus.
