Batman's Dumbest Nemesis: Lord Death Man

[@comediccenter7233]

Lord Death Man would be a perfect addition to the Suicide Squad, even in a new movie, and having him be a running gag of dying but always coming back and then immediately dying again would have a lot of potential

I love that it was used as a convenient excuse for Batman to do to Lord Death Man what he refuses to do normally. He can’t die so let’s throw him from a building, run him over and stuff him in an airtight box and throw him into space.

[@user-io9hj9ip2d]

Lord Death Man actually has a ton of potential to be a top tier batman villain, honestly you just need a cool design and gimmick and you're pretty much set

[@Broomer52]

Also Batman has an excuse to do things he wouldn’t normally do because he won’t die from it anyways.

[@personman8734]

Pretty much all of his top rogues gallery were originally just gimmicks that became popular. Joker was just a criminal that used primarily gag weapons, killer croc is literally just a crocodile man, bane is just a villain who is also a drug addict, two face is just a guy with chemical burns , the riddler yelled riddles at you and mr.freeze just used ice weapons. I’m pretty sure the only one who came in as a serious threat was Bane.

[@Mech299]

Honestly? I think a really fun idea would be to have Lord Death Man take over the Joker's operations after a comic run where the Joker dies again, which has the potential for some amazing scenes with the clowns dressed up as skeletons like in his original run. And it's set up perfectly so that when the Joker inevitably comes back, we can get this wonderful scene of the Joker trying everything in his power to kill him, including smilex'ing him, to no effect cause his head's a fucking skeleton, can't laugh himself to death like that! So now Joker has another hateboner rival and it cements LDM's place in Batman's rogue's gallery forever, partly because the joker would prioritize LDM over Batman at times because he pisses him off so much xD

[@TJF588]

@@Broomer52, more like an excuse for the writers to explore how Batman approaches otherwise-deadly tactics. Guy's dedicated to non-lethality, so what's his psyche going into putting down LDM as close as possible? How does he adapt his resources for that task? Does this rattle him, those around him, or the people of Gotham who rely on him?

Lord Death Man is the epitome of “too stubborn to die”, which I believe makes him a great supervillain. Because he knows he’s unkillable he does the extreme shit his does because he knows that there’s no consequences for his actions. Yeah you can kill him, but it never sticks. I like to imagine that the first time that he died he just annoyed Death so much that he refused to collect his soul and sent him back, and just does it every time he dies just so he doesn’t have to deal with him.

[@personman8734]

[@tinkerermelon6599]

Or what if LDM's constant appearances make Batman lose discipline slightly and put a mortal actually close to death? Like 50/50 chance they'd live or die and Batman has to contemplate this. It'd prolly have to fit earlier Batman continuity; I doubt his discipline can be uprooted as easily nowadays.

Just to be clear, they may have cannonically moved Gotham City to NJ in the modern DC universe, but that was not always the case. Early Batman stories practically call Gotham New York City, with New York landmarks and icons having direct parallels in Gotham. I would say that in 1966 when Death Man made his debut, Gotham was still squarely situated in Manhattan.

[@ZeroGoofs]

It gets me so mad whenever this part of Gotham is forgotten! New Yorks nickname is literally Gotham

As somebody who considers the Jiro Kuwata Batman manga to be one of their favorite iterations of the character, this video was really a delight to watch. I had no idea LDM's had such a revival, for lack of a better term, in modern comics! One slight correction though, Lord Death Man was not the first villain that appeared in Kuwata's series. Modern reprints of the Batman manga are collected out of their original publication order, with the LDM storyline usually listed first despite it happening halfway through the series' initial run in Shonen King. The story arcs though are mostly self-contained so it doesn't matter what order they're read in more often than not.

[@kiddo6393]

I'm so happy for Panda, this is one of the best collabs on the internet

[@yaboymart3237]

One of the reasons Lord Deathman was chosen as the first villian in the Manga adaptation is that he bares a nonsignificant to an already popular Japanese character at the time, Golden bat. In the same year that Deathman first appeared, there was a live action movie based on Goldenbat as well as the first Goldenbat anime being released in the following year in 1967. Interestinl enough, he first appeared in 1930s as a paper theater character, predatting both Superman and Batman and is often refered to as "the first modern superhero"

[@cesarzpontu8886]

there is old unreleased Superman comic from 1933, which predates golden bat. So he isn't really a first modern superhero.

Not Drakes fault but DO NOT buy anything from established titles! Its a company in Hong Kong, you don't own anything, can't legally call yourself lord/lady, and they don't "plant a tree for every plot of land sold" your paying for literally ONLY a piece of paper.

[@WildBluntHickok]

They do get the tree planted (through another company and not in the "conservation" area), but it's 1 dollar per tree so you'd be better off just donating to the tree planting company. Also if you pay the lowest price (50 bucks) you don't even get the piece of paper, you get a virtual version of it. Getting the paper costs another 30 bucks and framing it another 20. And an extra 8 dollar monthly charge is included by default unless you uncheck it in your cart before finishing the transaction. The monthly charge is for 1 more tree planted every month. Yeah it's a scam. A big one.

[@CaptainBadNews]

@@WildBluntHickok they definitely don't actually plant a tree and the actual line is that "they work with" a company who plants trees supposedly, how much they actually give that company I don't know off top the of my head but they certainly don't say and use vague language everywhere possible.

If they ever do another "Superman and Spiderman"-style crossover between DC and Marvel (which I know will probably never happen these days...) they should definitely have an issue where Deadpool is hired to kill Lord Deathman. And despite Drake's misgivings, I think it should be full-on crazy LDM, just to compete. Yeah, it's not going to please those who are reading for intricate storytelling and high concept art, but it'll be a riot for anyone who enjoys the slapstick funny-books and can be the fan-service face-off moment in an otherwise more serious and gritty limited run - sort of like DP being involved in "Civil War" where there was an actual serious event going on but there was this little corner of it all with the wacky antics as a comedy break. Also, it'll just be fun to see how they resolve it.

[@Oddmanoutre]

@@kdisley Since DP and LDM would be unable to kill each other, I can only imagine that the issue would end with an anticlimax, and/or a dialogue between the two about the nature of suffering and how being immortal gives a broader perspective on the human condition, and thus their mutual disregard for collateral casualties.

I think I love this villain. The only thing about him I would want to experiment with in character writing is to make him more and more extreme. Not in a Deadpool kind of way, I think I would make him ironically funny with a good comedic presence (Maybe in like a Deadpool and Cable dynamic, where he would be mostly serious all the time, but funny things happen to him while he stays deadpan serious; not where he goes out and looses his demeanor as he dies or gets hurt, but where he stays serious, but something funny happens to him sort of way... maybe like a less bombastic parody of Dr. Doom)... but make him more extreme as every time he comes back his threat level and insanity kind of rises to the point where now he's the wild card at the worst time. Make him do something insane like potentially Kill Darkseid for some period of time and rule Apocalypse (Because he comes to the understanding that Darkseid is just a Mob boss from the New Gods). I'd also want to make him a Plasticman villain, a lot of Plasticman's rogue gallery are silly or parody based. For Plastic Man, I think he could be fun if you make him kind of like the MCU Antman, mixed with Deadpool, maybe a bit Booster Gold as well, but give him a title like "The Man Who doesn't Break", while you can have Death Man get a cool title as "The Unbreakable Man". (Kind of describing Plastic Man that can be twisted, contorted, chewed up, melted, stretched, spit out and still be fine, while Death Man is described as being able to be chopped up, torn apart, dismembered, decapitated, burned, and blown into pieces and still be fine (So a bit of changes to both of their powers). Plastic Man would kind of be a "Rehabilitated" Criminal, someone who was originally a goon, but worked themselves into being a one time Batman Rogue's gallery villain, but captured, put in Arkham, and then got out for "good" behavior much like some other Batman Rogues getting out of Arkham, maybe played for comedy or laughs, but also organized intentionally by Hugo Strange. Still being like a criminal he would plan to commit a crime, but on the day he executes his plan, another crime is already taking place and Batman is in a Pinch, but because of Plasticman's strange sense of honor and little heart of Gold, he can't leave batman to die and helps Batman take down the criminal, leading Plasticman to a Justice League invitation. From there on, Plasticman would be a conniving conman of a character that somehow fails upward, with the desire to be the greatest underground boss. I think he could even convince an old friend to becoming his fake nemesis to give him a arch rival and rogue gallery villain that he can foil over and over again to look good with the league under the guise of "Dr. Dome" that he uses to con them over and over. It can work, making them both fail upward until now Dr. Dome is a big enough name where now he gets targeted by the mysterious Lord Death Man, and now Plastic Man has to actually be serious for once and rescue his friend before he gets killed, risking everything from his position in the league, to everything he's ever accumulated as this Lord Death Man in contrary is the kind of guy that works really hard to earn his way to the top. Not through cheap schemes to get himself there in the simplest way possible, but through brutality, hard work, and meticulous plots, almost in hopes of out working his sometimes bad luck. Thinking about it, I guess their dynamic would be like Homer Simpson and Frank Grimes from that classic episode, just no friendship or comradery outside of slowly realizing they are becoming each other's arch rival.

I wonder if he is based on the character golden bat. A very early superhero of a similar nature, with the ability to not die and having a skeleton appearance with a cape

[@LORDDEATHMAN-ln7uv]

I AM NOT DUMB!!! And that PANDA guys impression is oddly accurate.

[@gabrielrussell5531]

"Kind of extreme since Gotham City is located in New Jersey". According to Young Justice it's in Connecticut since it's a coastal city equidistant between New York and Boston.

[@ComicDrake]

Cool. That's a completely different universe.

[@Nightmster]

I'm only mildly surprised that Grant Morrison had a part in making Lord Death Man cool... They're one of those few authors where you can definitely feel the love they have for the medium and still embrace the weird side of comics.

[@The_Wosh]

Maybe they chose him for the manga because he somewhat resembles golden bat in appearance

[@rhiannongarl-nabarro2953]

I ABSOLUTELY love that you brought Panda in!!! I was literally going to send your link!! ❤️❤️

[@austinhaltiner1489]

LDM is my new favorite character. Also great job Panda!

[@driveasandwich6734]

Oh my God, he should show up in Lazarus Planet!

[@cardshark562]

This sponsor didn't age well like Christ that is unfortunate

[@WarmLillie]

Well… Batman going extra now? Lord Deathman sound like a lot fun and I want see more!!!

[@StoryTeller796]

Lord Death Man's got me laughing hard with that Skeletor voice! Joker, eat your heart out! You could honestly say that "He always comes back."

[@MrAutobot390]

I have been waiting for this video ever since Panda teased it on his tiktok! Holy shit I didn't think LDM could say much crazier than the Pokemon thing or dating Damian's great grandmother, but I apparently knew nothing when it came to what Panda's taught me about Larry.

[@themothk1ng]

i heard of Death-man from a video Mr. Rogues made about his first appearance, but i had no idea he was this awesome.

[@ProfessorHurt]

Dumbest? HE IS THE MOST AWESOME VILLAIN!!! I like the idea of him locking horns with other members of the Bat-Family). That's where there's even more spark of fun begins with the character. Sure he fought Damian, but I want to see him tango with Red Hood and Batgirl (Cassandra Cain). THEN we're talking some glorious fun!!!

[@prototyped1531]

He did fight batwoman in one issue , she trapped him in concrete

[@OlinCaprison]

Lord Death Man looks VERY similar to the Golden Bat. You should look into him! A LEGENDARY and historic comic character in Japan

[@theoflare4576]

Hey I don't know if u know this but lord death man seems vary similar to a fictional character from Japan called "golden bat" who honestly is just as crazy to learn about,I don't know if he was inspired or it was just a coincidence but it might make a good video to look into it.,also love the videos man

[@historicflame972]

I remember this guy from batman brave and the bold He spent the whole show being hyped up as a super genius only to die by flying into powerlines while not looking where he was going

[@MegaAlchemist123]

To be honest. I think he is one of my new favorite villains in comics. Easily in the top ten.

[@zcarg6]

lord death man rlrly reminds me of balck parade guy i cant get it outof my head
