Batman: Knightfall gets DARKER! | Tales from the Dark Multiverse

[@Grievousish]

I think DC should have named their What if titles "Perhaps instead?" Has a refined ring to it

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

"Shrugs" by DC

[@saracohle]

DC Comics “Howbou’ Dat?”

“Maybe this”

[@shaunstorey23]

"Something different"

At the rate we're going we might get The Tempus Fuginaunt Who Laughs.

[@creed8712]

I want there to be a league of stupid rebirth characters who laugh including Rogal Zar or however you spell his stupid name

[@comixproviderftw_02]

Fuck it. We got The Darkest Dr. Bathatten Who Laughs

[@SouthernRam]

😂😂😂😂

[@aadilsood_014]

at this rate we're going to get three Harley Quinns, each one for their respective joker

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Torn, you fool! You should've let Bruce die a hero! Now you've given him the means to live long enough to become the villain!

[@joezilla6615]

Now I'm imagining Torso Bruce growling in Bale Bat voice while Torn lugs him around replying in Hardy Bane Voice.

[@judahgregory1030]

14:40 The Watcher: “something big is coming” 30 years later: “ BENDIS IS COMING”

[@KingAbsoluteVenom]

I definitely think you should do ALL of the Dark Multiverse tales. As you said Sal, they go WAY out of left field!!

[@MisterKetch]

I feel like the judas contract one is so light on story. Though I'd enjoy Ben/Ethan reacting to "and then superman shows up to punch Terra l"

[@WannabeWryter]

What about Adventures of Super Sons it's super wild.

[@chilliciouspatrioticmeatlover]

What about Tales of the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis

[@jayrett]

Yes, absolutely do all of them!

[@patrickimperial579]

I liked Bane's son in this comic.

Only commenting so the algorithm knows that this epiaode is doing well.

tempus fuginaut must collect the 6 eternity ingots to destroy half the multiverse in DC's new event *CRISIS WAR*

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

*Secret Dark Crisis War

[@jaytheartman610]

@@Insane-Howl-Cowl of course

[@PhoenixEnforcer101]

I wouldn't be surprised if Dc does a movie or comic event called crisis war at some point

[@joezilla6615]

Which will then lead into INFINITY CRISIS . . .which will then lead into MAXIMUM CRISIS . . . which will finally culminate in REIGN OF THE NFL SUPERPROS!!!

[@Bigtimegamer-dl3dx]

Now that darkseid has collected the a million glove he can finally destroy all legacy characters

[@hatredlord]

Honestly they should go the other way, and say that Tempus won. You don't ever hear from his upcoming crisis because he and his team averted it. You're welcome, everyone!

[@ToonGal12]

39:10 Ethan: You can't move an island! An island is land! Ben: Well, you can if you separate it from its base. Ethan: NO YOU CAN'T WHAT?!?! Ethan's had to deal with a ton of bullshit science throughout the course of the Back Issues show, but I think this moment finally broke him. XD

[@r.babylon2885]

To my surprise, I enjoy the name Tempus Fuginaut. Mostly because of the language in it. "Tempus Fugit" means time flies. And "naut" is the suffix for explorers. So he's the explorer of passing times. But then, if you look at it again, "Tempest" means storm, and "Fugitive" means someone who needs shelter. So his name could also be "Seeker Of Shelter From The Storm".

[@harley_yelrah9429]

Omg why Sal gotta do the terrifics like that 😂😂😂 IM DYING

[@PhoenixEnforcer101]

I was not expecting that 😂

[@jayrett]

The way I always assumed the Dark Multiverse worked was that each Earth was a copy of Earth Prime's timeline. Everything happened as it did in Earth Prime, UNTIL Azrael won the rematch with Batman. Everything happened the same way UNTIL Blackest Knight went horribly wrong, etc, etc.

[@messiahnyx971]

The blackest night was the closest thing to a happy ending

[@priceyyeti4058]

Nothing like happy ending the the god of that universe is screaming "LET ME OUT! PLEASE! HELP ME!"

[@MisterDangerousX]

@@priceyyeti4058 por comparação, meio que é.

[@MisterDangerousX]

If you see the other's,it's kind the closest

[@Night221Shadow]

Well. At least Mr. Terrific lives on in Tom King's Depressing-Man 3: Space War Crimes aka Strange Adventures. So yaaay?

[@franlaris8553]

I mean knowing Tom king it’s not gonna be terrific just someone dressed as terrific who acts completely different and doesn’t resemble the character.

[@dinosaurusmaximus8506]

6:50 Dangit. I actually LOVED the Terrifics.

[@Sicod79]

This is evidence we are not in the Darkest Timeline: Tempus Fuginot did not became a mainline DC character.

[@skankalank2000]

One thing that is undefeated from comic pop is their editing. The quick cut to the batom assassinated me

[@Rjd-lv2su]

Ive been looking forward to this - Count Dooku

[@comicpop]

You FOOL

[@Grievousish]

Hey can you get back to teaching me the jedi arts?

[@jonathanshaw9704]

My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.

[@creed8712]

Jonathan Shaw good, twice the pride double the fall

[@Metal-ge5hr]

"I sense great FEAR in you, Sal!"

[@Metal-ge5hr]

Ben's reaction to the term "Crisis Energy" really sums up my reaction to it as well.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Amen to that, brother. Although, I feel like Ethan my have an aneurysm when he hears who is now tied into this "Crisis Energy" business.

[@exquisitecorpse__]

St Dumas just be like: No Knight of mine is gonna be a Goddamn Bat! Get out of that suit before God sees.

[@TheBlueRanger01]

I'm going to have to watch this on repeat because I need Sal to do the other Dark stories. He sounds so excited for them that I need it!!!

[@jmsolano0516]

*me watching the entire time* “Well like this is gonna suck at the end.”

[@QuintMarvel]

You should do Dark Multiverse - Infinite Crisis. It works because the actual crisis (Alex Luthor bringing back multiple Earths) doesn't get to happen in the Dark Multiverse version. He's dead before he gets that far. In order for IC to happen, Alex Luthor needed his tower, plus raw MAGIC to power his tower, specific heroes, and the Universe had to be off it's axis (SBP was moving planets around in space). He was also counting on having access to Brother Eye. Ted shuts that down right quick. Ted has control of Brother Eye. He captures the society before they capture the Heroes. He stops the Spectre / Eclipso, so there's no fuel. He also stopped the war in space, so if any planets started moving around on their own, everyone would notice. I loved it.

[@granaff]

I LOVE the Bardic Broadcasts horn sound easter egg at 6:51 !

[@Raain87]

It's weird that they gave this watcher clone the same name as the Clock King from BTAS.

[@joezilla6615]

Sal pointed this out on another show, but it's also weird that he kinda looks like The Living Tribunal from Marvel Cosmic.

[@alexsilva28]

I was going to comment the same thing. Could they have planned for him to be the same character or just an homage? Guess we'll never know

[@kylokatarn9080]

Please do the rest of the Tales from the Dark Multiverse! They are all just wonderful dumb fun!

[@davidbreault3283]

When Sal and Ethan did their "hurr, hurr" I LOST IT

[@austinlenard7527]

I'm so glad that you guys uploaded this. I'm going through some rough stuff right now, so you guys uploading this definitely helps me out. I just want to say thank you guys so much

[@fernandezalecluigi]

You guys are getting funnier and funnier every episode! 😂

[@coreymcgivney2272]

6:54 oof

[@elliottroses]

One of my favorite recurring motifs is when Ethan is listening to wackadoo comics science and loses his mind. The last sane man.

[@TheGreatDevlin]

Have we gotten an Elseworlds Exchange with Sal and Joel pitching their own 5G since it's not happening?

[@Night221Shadow]

You know what's also funny? I skipped over the Tempus openings and just read the comics. So the fact that he was warning about a crisis was news to me.

[@liamgibbons5266]

coming back to this I just realized they predicted Tempus Fuginaut's tragic end in Dark Multiverse: Metal

[@jeanfrankthedestoryah5019]

6:52 That hurt my soul

[@nathanielgoldfarb6478]

love the short episode, more time to watch more back Back Issues

[@bryanflynn6064]

Literally as Sal was describing Temptess showing up in Death Metal to seemingly save the day only to be murdered. All I could picture was Ground Keeper Willie being killed by an Ax in that one Tree House of Horrors episode with the Shining.

[@ChristopherZubin]

This and Dawnbreaker were the only ones of these dark multiverse books I read, they were interesting, but reading two was enough to get my fill. Love to see Back Issues on them though

[@davidbromfield8328]

I always thought that the crisis referred was Death Metal and these characters were going to fight our main heroes. Guess I was wrong

[@CosmicNovember19]

I love the Tales from Dark Multiverse issues. The Death of Superman episode issue would make a great follow up if Ethan and Ben are ready for more dark shenanigans.

[@threex0xthree]

40:55 damn, 10 years? What a milestone indeed.

[@ChrisBReadin]

I want all of the Tales of the Dark Multiverse Back Issues.

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

I would love to hear you do the other Tales of the Dark Multiverse (maybe not the Judas Contract). Have you ever thought about doing the Superior Foes of Spider-Man?

[@invaderjimm8422]

Please do the rest guys, I loved these ridiculous stories, and more Harbor Patrol, please.

[@Medascott]

Relistening to this makes me want the gang to do an episode on Nightwing the New Order sometime

Wholly be Jesus this was not tge early release patreon back issues! Or did i miss it. TIS A SURPRISE!. Plus bat issues are some of the best back issues

I WOULD LOVE IF YOU ALL DID THE REST OF THE TALES

[@LimboSmith]

I definitely support doing the whole series! And keep on keeping on!

[@TheTrueJuan]

Really excited to see your guys' take on this. Love Saint Batman's outfit so cool. The art was very interesting. My brother had the same complaint that all the endings had to be dark which left a bad taste in his mouth. I enjoyed almost all of the tales. Wish there was a team-up of the characters in these tales.

[@1337snake888]

love that you guys did multiple episodes from this failed initiative, made for great episodes lmao

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

Thank goodness you are covering this particular issue. I was very confused by Batman by the end, not sure what he became or why that was the way it went.

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

Ah, so Batman did absorb people.

[@toxsun]

Definitely do the rest of these! Especially Blackest Night! And upon second reading, add Infinite Crisis to the list! You can skip Judas Contract, though. It's not great...
