Batman: The Knight | Batman's Training Years (2022) - Comic Story Explained

[@joshuacruz2972]

Dany Malt is one of the holy trinity in my comics storyteller youtube channels. Comics explained, comics breakdown and my man Dan the Malted. You keep up this very excellent work my man. It means the world to us listeners. Grateful for your efforts and dedication Dan! Thank you!

[@str8gr8t2008]

Dan the Malted. Yes!

[@blowthaprophet1993]

Comics explained comicsstorian and my boy Danny malt 💙💯

[@scottyknows7576]

I agree

[@Theuglyconcretefinisher]

I like Rob from Comicsexplained but I seriously wonder if he's even reading comments anymore because he misses a lot of stuff

[@joshuacruz2972]

oh you mean comments? nah man, if he read the breadth of them it would take forever i'm sure@@Theuglyconcretefinisher

I’ll bet that the Chinese Skyspider taught Bruce navigating over rooftops, grapnel ropes, base-jumping, and acrobatics

[@Manofgodgaming_]

2 hr batman vid about him before becoming batman? erm hell yea

[@GI.GIOVANNI]

This is by far the best batman origin story, i like the idea of hik training under multiple masters

[@MLGHazrad]

Batman Arkham Origins, I believe, feature this challenge mini game of Batman during his training in the North Korean Mountains. I'm sort of glad they adapted this mythical kung fu temple in one of the most forbidden areas on Earth.

[@jonathansoko1085]

It makes me wonder, places like north korea MUST have some hidden group of people underground or in the mountains that fight the regime, it has to exist somewhere

[@MelkMan7]

Samurai Jack has one of the best training segments imo. I'm talking about where young Jack goes to all of the experts across the globe to learn various skills similar to Bruce.

[@cardo92w]

I agree. I loved his training. Made him well rounded.

[@RandomMightyGuy]

Bruce seems to have a thing for master thief ladies

[@jr_xtreme8940]

This gives me vibes of Batman: Year One. I loved those series, especially the Superman: Year One story...u should consider covering that one as well

[@dannymalt]

All that Year One stuff is pretty good.

[@marcmeup1]

Fantastic Danny! Wonderfully narrated and presented. It was a real treat. Thank you.

[@pebislord]

6:53 why such a scary song I’m high as hell and you scared the shit out of me

[@Thatdude1980]

Not very often do you cover mainline comics, but when you do you pick well. I liked this one alot.

[@frocurl]

This was epic man. Thanks again so much!

[@jm5232]

I think skyspider taught Bruce how to become proficient with free falling and grappling lines. It would be cool and make sense if he learned hacking or technological development abilities in metropolis.

[@himanshubharti5959]

great bro

[@rogerjustice2922]

You did such a great job of relaying this story which was absolutely excellent, I remember reading quite some time ago that this was a good story but it did slip through my fingers, I'm so glad you brought this one to life really enjoying your channel it seems like I keep watching more and more of your videos I loved the way you did Sweet Tooth I think that was one of the best things you've done, there were some things about Swamp Thing I think maybe you missed some of Alan Moore's humor, it is rather off at times but all of your videos are excellent I am now a big fan of yours and I am so glad again you did this story I watched this whole video absolutely engaged thank you again I would have hated not knowing this story

[@blakmajik1377]

This might be my favorite batman story

[@eternalspiral6980]

Danny back it again with another banger. Great video

[@zeldan4165]

Great work! About Ghost-Maker it was the first introduction of this character for me and idea kinda interesting but not really explored. Maybe in other batman stories he's interesting and still it's just the origin, but the lack of deeper motivation for him is showing. Also, considered cover the Black Hammer series some time? Really good reading 👍

[@dannymalt]

Maybe on Black Hammer, I’m a fan.

[@francoisdemorcy5084]

Carbon copy Batman is Ghost Maker.. No depth

[@bruhmomentum8302]

@@francoisdemorcy5084yeah he’s kinda boring

[@rondickey7116]

I like this story of Batman, you really feel all the character's emotions and expertise. I will give this one, a 9.5.

[@Lege06]

Ah man this was so well done, thank you.

[@3xtrey421]

One of the best narrations I ever watched 😇

[@sjbrooksy45]

I like how Bruce is shown to be somewhat pathological in this story. Like the people who care about him are like "dude, you have the ability and the resources to help people and try to make sure there aren't people who feel the need to kill for a few dollars", and he's like "Nah, think I'll spend years learning how to punch criminals in the face instead".

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

:) This was covered in the cat woman comic that Danny did a while ago. She comes out of prison 10 years later to find gotham cleaner than ever mostly because of policies that help people get back on their feet and stay out of poverty. Oracle tells cat woman "who knew that throwing money at the problem was actually way more effective than anything Batman ever did punching criminals and chasing bad guys on roof tops." or something along those lines.

[@stevenmartinjr6872]

I love this story so much. This may just be my favorite Bruce Wayne/Batman story ever.

[@gunjah2628]

This was really good thanks!

[@aagreenidge]

1:37:26 bruce disnt learn magic. He learned escape tactics and illusionist tactics. Not magic

[@aagreenidge]

So my thoughts on the story line. Yes, it was cool to see the different teachers Bruce had. And what he learned. Clearly he's several advantages that helped him learn so quickly. Photographic memory and so on. I don't mind that Ghost Maker was introduced because we can't think that Bruce is the ONLY person to come out of those trainings and do what he does but different. To think that doesn't make any sense. Also, Bruce never learned that in order to stop crime, and no help it, that some of the criminals have to die. How many times has he arrested the Joker only for the Joker to escape and lay waste to so many Innocents. Even Bruce's own. He hides behind this so called morality but he does kill. He's let the Joker and other keep doing what they do and because he has they get a "pass" to continue the blood letting. Petty criminals can go to prison, and could possibly be reformed with the right programs. But the major players who kill for shuts and giggles, they gotta go. Mad Bruce hides from this fact, not opinion, it's a fact. He hides because (my opinion now) I feel he kind of admires these super criminals. Why else leave someone like the Joker live. But whatever. My 5 cents. Doesn't matter

[@williams6560]

the best comicteller I have ever seen❤❤ Thank you for your effort.

[@jamelcasino5093]

BEST Batman Comic Ever

[@duvan-solis]

So, that's when he got a type for cat burglars.

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

I loved this, this was great. 9/10

[@seanblair393]

I always thought Bruce would have finished high school around 12, and college around 14. What need did he have for higher education that he couldn't learn on his own? He was already super-rich.

[@yoyoyowhatsgood8634]

I feel like it makes more sense for him to be around people and learning than just sitting at home with no interaction Plus it sets up connections

[@juusoveikkowestside]

Thx man. Like’d it very much.

[@zackgalvan336]

Who gave Thalia sideburns?

[@domista992]

[@AlexFaust-r4y]

This needs to be animated. Batman's true origin. For me it's canon now. Ghost maker is a good as the new extra frienemy.

[@fsp394]

this was worth skiping a week and doing it one time

[@mishkosimonovski23]

I liked the Khan addition. There are many universes after all...some of them have magic and Ghost Makers :)

[@isaaccolney5234]

This will be best batman show/movie or series if they make it and don't fuck it up

[@nard-o]

This is so good that I wish it was a tv series 😊

[@Akwyndor]

Dude, when are you gonna cover the rest of DIE?! That was the coolest first volume ever!

[@dannymalt]

Here’s the truth on Die. I loved volume 1, I was working on volume 2 a few weeks ago, I spent like 6 hours working on the script for it, and I was just not digging it. Volume 2 had some weird plot choices, and I decided to abandon covering it and focus on some things I was more into.

[@francoisdemorcy5084]

Die was crap. So boring and depressing. Agenda woke book that got worse each volume. Sold my copies.

[@RawB242]

this was amazing!! 8.5 out of 10

[@steele581]

Hi, thank you so very much for doing this! I learn more about that man! I was wondering if you could possibly do the year one story arc and the year two story arc 1:48:49 ? That would be great!

[@Astartes-6969]

It'd be cool if we get an HBO Miniseries set in the New Gunn DCU based off of Batman The Knight. This run is so good.

[@tyronleung5276]

The side burns on talia is ugly lol

[@alejotassile6441]

[@henneseslimify]

A decent foretelling of what's to come.

[@synexthebarbarian8006]

This should have been a tv or streaming series

[@Slumpxy]

I love this story

[@nickfox6bignick]

Best Batman story ever

[@sonicdihedgehog1]

Really Hope you try out a Marvel Christmas Special Next. Or at least others like Spider-Man Life Story, Punisher by Greg Rucka, Planet Hulk, Spider-Man Lifeline, Spider-Man: RYV, Spider-Man Parallel Lives, Marvel Knights, Marvel Knight's Spider-Man, Spider-Man Double Trouble, Doctor Strange by Tradd Moore, and Hopefully Deadly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

[@jonathanshihadeh]

Bruce is a bit of a peggy sue in his teens

[@beekretrac]

They keep making all of these batman shows & movies....THIS is the one they need to be making....this would be a perfect 10 episode season on HBO max....DC/Warner have no idea what to do with their ip

[@mortimerrockwellwolffkelly6387]

agreed

[@ianfontanet4230]

I'm surprised how this video is kind of a tribute to Kevin Conroy. Good review, though, really showing what skills and techniques that Bruce Wayne have actually learned.

[@jesh2478]

Can't wait for this to have an animated movie / series adaptation!

[@Rreinholdt]

Well done Danny 👍👍👍

[@marvankasnoph4142]

the only I don't like that they changed was that bruce didn't graduate highshcool at 14 and go to different colleges useing the Sherlock Homes method to study.

[@studburna]

I'm guessing the missing ones are; 1) explosives; 2) poisons and 3) sky-scraper climbing/ gliding.

[@ralphwheat1536]

I liked the story but I always thought his training took years for each discipline not a few months for each one.

[@alexmason2659]

Bruce is a fast learner that has been implied multiple times throughout his story

[@anthonygarcia8749]

Regardless he spent years perfecting and absorbing all the information and knowledge that he could possible need, not mere months. He doesn't have to be THAT good lol

[@anthonygarcia8749]

I honestly prefer the old versions of his training years in mentions, references, flashbacks, accounts etc. in the legends of the dark knight stories and from the main Batman run if that makes sense than Zdarsky's new jumbled version lol. But it was entertaining to watch you go through the story and how it unfolds.

[@oumardinncamara9455]

League of shadows*.

[@alexmason2659]

Nope it's actually The League of Assassin's it was only called the League of shadows in the dark Knight trilogy and the tv series Gotham however it was called the League of Assassin's when it was created by the writers and it's called the league of assassin's in every other version of Batman's story

The only problem I have with this retcon is them replaces Deathstrokes role with GhostMaker

[@sarimsarhan3937]

Would you like to cover DC vs Vampire series? It is a fantastic thriller horror comic which has 12 issues and the final issue is coming this month.

[@Tylerbremner]

I’d like you to do reckless by Ed brubaker and Phillips. I know you love criminal but you’d kill those graphic novels

Hi Dannymalt if I have your permission could I reupload your Invincible series. I will edit certain parts so I and you dont get copy right strike. Please could you reupload Invincible series but edited, I absolutely love your narration, This was the first time wathing your videos back then, I was blown away, It was sad what happened to you when many youtubers have the same content and they didnt get copy right strike, They display the writing in the bubbles and everything. Listening to you ignited the wild creative imagination from my childhood. Thanks for that brother Dannymalt, May Allah/God guide you to islam one day.

[@In_liten1]

Ghostmaker is the perfect character that add to the Batman lore. If you think about it Bruce is always been a loner and he doesn't really have anyone that he really calls a friend. Throughout all that time no one could even rival him come on there had to be one person that good as well but he still cares about regardless of his flaws. I think everyone has one like this in their life. It's kind of like that one friend that gets you into trouble as kid but does she know you can't hang out with them as an adult. I think this was a perfect bridge between the Nolan story and the original lore. MASTERPIECE 💯
