[@Lawrence_Talbot]

I absolutely loved this story. It feels so much deeper than the regular Batman-Joker relationship because it’s about two parents coping with the loss of their child in opposite ways. And it’s nice to see Batman so brutal, except he can never bring himself to kill his wife, because to do so would cut off the last connection he has to his dead son.

[@vinnie3731]

It's about two parents*

[@vullord666]

Martha Wayne Joker does the "One bad day" so well. I was also so surprised by their continuation and how they're healing in a bubble timeline.

[@chernan7148]

While watching this video I realized this particular story of Flashpoint Batman and Joker would make a super good "gotcha" film. If Thomas is never referred to as such, only ever Mr. Wayne or Batman, and they keep Joker's appearance hidden or just out of frame, having intermittent flashbacks to the night of the murder of Bruce but never showing who it was that died until the third act. It would make for a really good movie.

[@savagerage52]

why are u not making that movie now >:c I WILL GIVE MONEY

[@eugeneflorence4355]

Awesome idea. I wish that you could send it to someone and have it done.

[@Kira22558]

This perfect.

[@xleplayVA]

Referred to as even just Batman. Because unless they decided to keep Thomas' face hidden, or went clean shaven, either his age or the mustache would give it away, unless they deliberately showed batman killing with guns. Could act as a good "shock value" switcheroo, with normal moviegoers thinking its an unfaithful batman, and letting real fans immediately know its flashpoint batman On a different note. Hot take: cast Michael keaton as thomas in that thworetical movie. Already have him casted as batman in both 89 and the new flash movie, so unless it is just straight up flashpoint batman in the flash movie, you have a precedent set to lure normal viewers into believeing it to be bruce

The way Martha reacted to Thomas telling her that Bruce wouldn’t become a doctor, that was hard to watch. A mother learning that her son would fall down the same path as her husband, but not knowing her son would succeed both his parents, and be better as they hope. That is heartbreaking.

I love Flashpoint's batman adaptation. His entire story is very interesting. I would really like to see a video from you on Flashpoint: Beyond

[@likeandsub8841]

Agreed.

[@humanperson2480]

I just think it’s interesting how both Bat(men? man’s?) had totally opposite reactions to the same trauma. The first, surrounded himself with a new family, after his own was completely lost. The second isolated himself completely after his family was ripped apart.

[@eugeneflorence4355]

I was hoping that Martha Wayne Joker would have been expanded upon. I believe that it was a bad idea to kill her. I would say somehow bring her to the main universe and commit murders in Gotham. I would love to see the reaction of both Batman and the Joker. I believe once the original Joker discovered her Identity he would go out of his way to help her kill more people to screw with Batman's head.

[@user-gz5qc7oh2s]

Fun fact: Real pearls are knotted individually to the strand to avoid them all going flying and scattering if the fragile string ever snaps. Which means that all of this happened for a fake necklace that costed maybe 50 bucks.

Still can't believe that DC and WB keep passing on great stories from the comics.

[@Solitaire001]

I strongly agree. There are decades of excellent stories that haven't been used, including some unusual ones. Two I'd like to see on the big/small screen are: - "What Ever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow", the last story featuring the Earth-One Superman and one of the darkest Superman stories ever done. - "Gotham Nights", a four-issue miniseries which is contains four stories featuring people living in Gotham City. Although Batman makes an appearance he is not the main character of the story.

I think losing your child is way way worse than losing your parents. That's a true way to make a darker Batman.

[@Kanerudo]

This would be one of the few cases where genderswapping a character would make sense as long as it stays true to the character. A movie or even movie series like this (the whole Flashpoint arc with this being part of it) would be interesting even if it's way too dark for me. However it would most likely earn lots of money

That is possible, or maybe the man who would have been The Joker is just a moderately successful comedian. In the Flashpoint Universe Barry Allen was just a police scientist, not The Flash and it is likely that other characters' lives also took a different directions (see Wonder Woman and Aquaman).
