[@michaelerickson985]

Though I am not fluent in Spanish, I have enough knowledge of the language to know that the subtitles are not accurate translations of what actually has been said. My concern is that people with no knowledge of the Spanish language will misunderstand what has been actually said if they rely on these inaccurate subtitles, and that will detract from their ability to appreciate the film on its merits.

3:53 That's another nod to the Golden Bat character this movie is ripping of... I-I mean taking inspiration from. Though Golden Bat's laughter is more terrifying (at least compared to the Mexican dub of this Korean animated film). To quote Kenny Lauderdale from his video on Golden Bat, "Most heroes have a catchphrase but he...does things a little bit different. Instead, he'll just laugh in your face and throw an entire building at you." The superpowers are also something Golden Bat had too. And funny you should make that Dr. Claw joke, the main villain in the Golden Bat series had an actual claw for a hand.

[@PlutoniumBoss]

The lunatic laughter works a lot better when Golden Bat has a skull face.

[@Vee_Astra]

It's interesting though that they actually got Golden Bat's trademark maniacal laughter down, someone somewhere did their homework, and then someone else copied their notes the night before class.

[@Akatsukileader9]

Fun fact, Blackstar's voice is Claudio Rodriguez, who is a huge voice actor in Spain, playing people like Charlton Heston, or characters like Disney Zeus or Dumbledore (yes even with the recast due to Richard Harris' death Dumbledore had the same voice actor for all 8 films in Spain). He sadly passed away about a year ago. But WHY does a crappy ripoff have such a huge voice actor in it? I didn't even know this thing was dubbed into Spanish in the first place

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Because Spain was still reeling from its tyranny of 36 years.

That's not just any Batman, it's the Batman of Zur-En-Arh! I did NOT make that up! Someone else did, wrote it into an old Batman comic, and Grant Morrison revived the concept in one he wrote!

Wow, I've heard of Turkish Batman, Italian Batman, Indian Batman, and even Nigerian Batman, but a Korean Batman? I would ask if there's a Korean Superman, but like you said, this character is basically Batman and Superman merged into one. I wonder if there exists a foreign Aquaman knock off.
