Great story! To me, the fact that the villains weren't metas, but just regular guys makes them more evil.

[@zambekiller]

Killer croc was never a meta just a human with a genetic disease

[@edithvalenzuela27]

They go deep in real-life issues in they story.

[@NemesisOgreKing]

You'll feel good, but you'll always be chasing that dragon.

[@comicsgameslife]

Sad, but true. This story delt with some serious issues, but they did an excellent job with the storytelling. Thanks for the comment!

[@theandrogynousmisogynist]

He stopped feeling the withdrawals as soon as he got there and knew his dope was in range.. if you’ve ever been an addict you’d know.

[@sleepyrogue5236]

Nothing else matters. lol - Classic

If anyone could be forgiven for using steroids, its Batman.

[@xxsilentreatmentxx]

It was nice of the Dr and the General to give Batman his cape back after he passed out on the beach. He'd have never gotten out of that tower without it

Comics. Games. Life, great video you deserve more subscribers

[@comicsgameslife]

I really appreciate that! I'll keep doing my best to keep on putting out better and better content for you all!

[@gevdarg]

Arguably, one of the greatest Batman stories ever.

[@comicsgameslife]

Agreed!

[@jalenfelipe2124]

One of my favorite early Batman stories. His formative years, especially within the canon of New Earth is one of my favorite eras. Great video, I don't think I've ever seen a review on this comic until now. Underrated gem along with Batman: Prey

[@comicsgameslife]

Thanks for the comment! I remember when this came out, I was blown away by how great of a story it was. Prey was also a good one!

[@anduril7970]

This is amazing! The quality makes me feel like I’m listening to a channel with a million subs. Not one that’s still just getting started

[@comicsgameslife]

That really means a lot! I hope to make it there one day!

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

With Batman's knowledge of chemistry, he could have synthesize his own version of venom...or hire someone to do it so Lucius Fox wouldn't find out.

[@sebastiangorsuch5775]

Sick video! Love this story

[@comicsgameslife]

Appreciate the comment! To me, this story is timeless. It came out early 90's but hits just as hard in 2024!

[@feliciasteward777]

This comic was pretty much the precursor to what would be seen in knightfall

[@deadpilled2942]

"LAPD style", genius. Lol

[@t-god2439]

Batman is a man in a world filled with gods. And he can also be a man cursed with knowledge. Yet he never truly uses that knowledge to try to become a god. For instance Batman probably could learn magic to make up for so much but chooses not to

[@comicsgameslife]

Good point!

[@MurphyBats1983]

Great story (with some wild turns) and video. When I read the Venom story years ago, my first thought was Batman could reverse engineer the drug and make his own venom…but the Legends of the Dark Knight series is set early on in Batman’s career, so perhaps he wasn’t capable of that yet. The cover to issue 18 is a classic by JLGL.

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

If only this was an animated movie or live action movie...

[@mooseheadbear1775]

Was always my favorite comic

[@monkepog]

So cool!

[@lostintheark5728]

What Batman was a junkie, what in the Snowfall/ Five Heartbeats/ Rey did I miss?

[@marklaing6694]

Very well broken down Bro!!

[@comicsgameslife]

Thanks! I really appreciate that! I'll continue to do my best and deliver more content as quickly as I can!

[@BFLAT604]

Ya know it bad when Alfred leaves drugs ruin life I’m a addict but I am trying to slow down

[@comicsgameslife]

Good to hear your slowing down! Stay strong and keep moving in the right direction. Push away the negative, and embrace the positive. The future is bright!

[@chimericalical]

“Like it goes with most stories about addiction, he doesn’t care about the things he used to anymore.” Yeah… so, one of the main reasons I got sober and was able to stay sober was to think of all the things I enjoyed doing before I started using. I bought a Nintendo switch and a 1TB micro SD card (not all at once mind you) and loaded it up with games. Well, that’s one of the things I did (pretty much did a lot of the same with other hobbies). Initially I wasn’t enjoying playing video games as much as I used to. I set a time to play them and set goals like getting this game or getting that far in this other game and so on. And got past the part where doing a hobby I used to enjoy a lot felt like work and was just fun and interesting again. Then got to a point where I don’t remember the last time I thought about using. Like it used to be when I thought about it I would play video games, piano, skating, or one of my hobbies from before I was doing this stuff and keep doing said hobby until I stopped thinking about using. Now I’m just enjoying my hobbies and can’t recall rhe last time I thought about previous addictions.

[@Qnslaught]

Great video!

[@comicsgameslife]

Thank you!

[@user-ik9kt1gm6z]

I remember when I first read this story and thought that all the scene where Batman encountered the boulder needed was a thought bubble explaining why he couldn’t use his gadgets on the boulder. Like explaining he smelled gas so couldn’t use his laser cutter, or it would take too long. Or if he used an explosive it would ignite gas in the tunnel or the concussive force of the explosion could kill him and the girl in such a confined space.

[@SonicCloud7]

He could have used his bat grappling hooka to help him lift the rock.

[@comicsgameslife]

True, he definitely had some other options than trying to lift it with his bare hands.

[@Aldgri]

cool concept but i really dont think bruce/batman would react the way he did in many of the scenarios. like he's experienced and trained enough to think critically no matter the circumstance, so sissy dying doesnt really make sense

[@tomsnowden6201]

lol love that story “about the woman who lifted a car for her child” 😂😂 one of my favorite urban legends that nobody can cite bc it’s absolutely made up

[@BigPendant]

So basically Batman was on Steroids

[@deadpilled2942]

A key ingredient is comic book science.

[@theandrogynousmisogynist]

Explaned more like down tho lol

[@KidWolfnv]

He copied iron man's whole flow😂

[@comicsgameslife]

Lol, for real!

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

What would you do? How far would you go? Could you do it? What would be your motivation?
