[@MobiusMundUr]

[@LazyLazx]

Harley was quite literally told by amanda waller (after Waller's system had been hacked to find the data) that both her and Deadshot had long ago worked off their prison sentences via the countless missions task force X had been on. Alongside the actual time spent in prison. And then served EXTRA time as waller had never told them and continued to keep them on a leash thinking they were still working it off and not yet reached said cut off point.

[@LeoCannotPark]

Ok?

[@ceciliagraefe3960]

classic Waller ngl

[@Jelly_Skelly]

@@LeoCannotPark So Zur En Ar was patently wrong when he said she never atoned.

[@LazyLazx]

@@Jelly_Skelly yep and by extent Rob on "she never served a sentence" IF anything it also just shows that while ZUr En AR might have some solid points, hes not fully correct in everything. I'd also argue that in harley's case that her helping the batfamily all the time and being a semi hero should also be accounted for in terms of her past misdeeds. Its not like she did something bad and then fucked off the the woods to hide it out. She's been trying to correct her past mistakes as best she can for a while

[@IchigoKurosaki3119]

[@elvangulley3210]

of course dc would steal from marvel they do it all the time

[@Wezt334]

Been saying this for months, it’s a Superior Spider-Man/Council of Reeds story (given what’s about to happen with Absolute Power which cares over from this). And yet weirdly enough Wells is now doing a similar thing with Spider-Man first having Normans “sins” making him crazy/evil and now a few months later having what seems to be Norman’s mind doing the same thing

[@Theflameblast22]

Rob... your willingness to educate, entertain and sheer enthusiasm for this media is what keeps me looking forward to your next episode! You're masterful at summarizing the story, but still throw some shade at stuff you find questionable (or that you just dislike - which is hilarious). Thank you! Keep it up, I'll keep watching.

It's getting harder and harder to explain why batman never killed the joker.

[@vongola11thboss67]

Eh, you can say that about any hero that has a mass-killing supervillan.

[@neavetheartist]

Perhaps it’s because in real life we are getting more and more fed up with evil?

[@user-ok7kz8ru2q]

@@neavetheartistcould have fooled me the state of California cares more about the people committing crimes than protecting the victims

[@kravenofspider]

Perhaps the only thing they could say as to why not is that he sharpens Batman like a whetstone preparing him for greater/multiversal threats. Otherwise he should off him.

[@petergilmer9318]

That's why I like the telltale storyline. Bruce actively made Joker a villain by enabling him, but he cares for him like a friend. So it actually makes sense why he wouldn't kill him. Bruce genuinely wants to save Joker. In the main storyline, they are just strangers to each other, so it's just unreasonable.

[@johnp1366]

I get angry when feel it necessary to make superheroes into reflections of themselves. To relate to them. Why have heroes when they are not on another level morally or philosophically

[@lceFeathers]

I can't help but feel like the ending took heavy inspiration from that one episode of TAS where robot imposter Batman shut down after seeing he had killed someone.

[@MrGonz801]

How many times did you change the thumbnail and title?

[@Fred-zk3wv]

I think a 3 part movie of this comic would be dope!!! The first movie being rightfully name "Batman: fail save.". And with the last movie called "Batman: family ties"

[@reidon3749]

Not watched any of the other videos yet, but all those amazo bots I think Amanda is gonna snag up

[@runawayprophet4164]

Every time someone calls Batman out for letting crime fester in Gotham, they're written to have some major moral flaw so we can root against them. I love Batman but he's his own hinderance to his ability to keep Gotham safe. If you're going to have a no kill rule, you have to do a lot more to incapacitate or rehabilitate super villains, which he DOES NOT DO

[@joaopescusa]

I wonder if Rob ever covered In the Black Mirror, one of my favorite batman stories

[@joshuaingobo1559]

I like that Bruce talked to his family about the mistakes that he did over the past year or so and made amends for what he’s done to them, including Jason. I also like that the entire Batman Family worked together to defeat Zur, a clone of Bruce who became Robin, and one of Bruce’s mentors. The one thing I can criticize is Tim’s recent Robin suit because it looks off and that I prefer him wearing his original pre-Flashpoint Red Robin suit because it’s a sign of maturity, evolution, and character growth. Overall, this comic is good!
