The "Death" of Batman (Batman: Curse of The White Knight)

[@dereks_island]

Rob, i wanted to tell you thanks again. It's not just the covering of comics that a lot of us enjoy, it's your enthusiasm. You get so excited to share these stories that it's infectious. No matter how bad a day i might be having or have had, we can always go to your library and get swept away in am amazing story behind your by a person that is so enthralled by the story, that is hard not to get sucked in fully. Long story short(to late) , I'm sure I'm not alone when i say i really appreciate what you do but now so how you do it. Thanks again

What he said 👏🏾💯

No one does it better than Rob.

[@EasyDenze]

Facts😤!!!

[@dsagent]

This was a really good comic. Not every story has to be a universal threat.

[@retsz]

I like the angle this story takes of a deconstruction of the deconstruction of the super hero. I kinda agree with nightwing. Batman's very existence creates problems, but he's a net positive. Criminals are gonna crime, with or without him.

[@viderevero1338]

But then you have the critique of Gordon in the classic Batman movies with heath ledger. Where Batman’s technology and efficiency only makes Criminals stronger and evolve more. Honestly it’s a similar situation to the real world Mexico, and the whole cartel fiasco. And just like in Mexico, Gotham needs a better infrastructure, then a superhero. Because like you said criminals will just keep coming ad infidium. Gotham is just a really crappy place.

[@AManChoosesASlaveObeys]

@@viderevero1338 And don't you think better infrastructure will come with a lot of losses as well? I mean, think of corruption. Inflation. Shady businesses. There's no Batman, no one to 'bat' an eye on White and Blue Collar crimes. People will be struggling as far as they can, just not in the nose of everyone. You can't just walk into Africa, give a supply of clear water for life, go away and expect nobody to take advantage of it.

[@endless3cho]

*infinitum

[@connerd5647]

That’s not true though, like they said, most crime comes from desperation and destitution. If you give people the material means the need to survive, crime goes way down. You don’t need a vigilante just reacting to crime, you have to stop it from the root by giving people what they need

[@Watch-0w1]

Batman specialty alone was never the answer. It is a child fantasy to think that crime will go down by just beating up a few criminal at night time. If there is a way to make quick money it, there would be crime. And in poor condition and poverty, desperation would encourage more criminal seeking salvation through crime. Solution was to cure poverty to reduce crime rate and what remind to react upon them. Narcotic, ivory ,painting ,ect. As long they a demand for it , and they law reduce it supplied . There would be money, supplied and demand. People life be damn.

[@Marx1684]

These videos have been hitting different. These drops are ridiculously good.

[@thereseemstobeenanerror1219]

Both this comic and the art is really good I like it. But I want to push back against this comic a little bit, at least in the way they say Batman has irrevocably made Gotham worse. As it is shown that in most continuities that crime actually does take a dramatic dive once Bruce becomes Batman. And for the super criminals most of them don't have any real linkage to Batman before they started doing their villainy. As it's commonly most of them were already acting on they're darker impulses before Batman came around.

[@HunterAero]

Alfred is a brilliantly written character.

[@zakoman74]

The best

[@anothercleverusername992]

_"...I'll teach you how to fight... so the next time you're in danger, you'll know what to do."_ *_*sniff*_*_ "Like Zorro?"_ (While lifting and then carrying him away in a loving and protective embrace)- _"Like Zorro."_ Goddamn if that's not maybe the sweetest, most perfect flashback, showcasing Alfred and Bruce's Father/Son dynamic in ANY Batman story in comics or otherwise... Which is saying A LOT, btw... That genuinely blew me away.

[@romeyrome32]

I've thoroughly enjoyed these stories. Quite possibly my favorite Batman series elseworld or otherwise. Discovering the truth about the Wayne's blew my mind. I can listen to Rob describe these stories all day.

[@trevorjackson8748]

The fact that Bruce Wayne’s shadow in jail is Batman’s cowl is so fire. The detail is dope!

[@willuexwilluex6241]

The shadows of Bruce and Todd...Napier.. excellent touch

This was amazing as Batman has always been one of my favorite 5 heroes. I so appreciate you covering this or I would not of ever heard of this

[@mr.joshua6818]

I definitely want some wall art from this series. Great stuff.

[@weseethetruth158]

I hate how they're muddling the lines between good and evil...

[@kavinh10]

one of the few vids that got me interested enough to go check out the actual comics pretty great overall. It's a shame the sequel kinda undoes alot of it just for the sake of continuing the story but at least we get more in the white knight universe

[@quez.]

Rob you gotta do more of the white knight comics cause this was amazing lol

[@comicfox9151]

Best comic book KZbinr hands down

[@brentjones80]

Frfr.thats the truth

[@knightdriven4202]

I wish they did a backstory for laffy. I mean he may aswell of been a normal dude, there was literally no reason for him to be a vampire. Didn't come into play at all.

[@yeahjug03]

When Batman is written this we’ll there is no comparison to any other super hero 🙌🏾

[@ThePanchEffect]

this batman universe is one I like. this one could be more, hope to see it one day

[@weap8ntheater135]

One small problem I have with this universe, is that Murphy doesn't even acknowledge the Justice League. Clark wouldn't let Bruce just rot in a prison cell. Otherwise, great run.

[@cynitalgaming3635]

Stories like this make me think of that scene from the dark knight when he's riding through a parking lot blowing cars like a couple of parking spots away from kids

[@CactusJackIV]

"Let's get nuts." while in the "old" Batmobile

[@maniachaelgaming]

Did you notice how he said “Let’s get nuts” when he got in the Batmobile that resembled the one from 89? Definitely a nod

[@dzd__2216]

Rob, I haven’t been getting your videos in my sub feed even though I’m subscribe and have the bell notification turn on

[@benjamincaddle2018]

Financially speaking the story makes no sense dissolving Wayne Enterprise, that a superficial understanding of elites and how money works but the pose with the gun was cool I'll give em that. Did you get artist to make the poster?

The curse of the white knight series has got to be one of the best Batman runs since the knightfall event. I mean you have Bruce "Batman" Wayne in a relationship with Harley Quinn later on in Beyond the white knight aka Batman Beyond of the murphyverse.

[@Denneska]

I think being a Wayne isn't about your DNA but about your education. It's about who raised you and HOW, in my opinion. So why does it matter if Bruce isn't genetically a Wayne ? 🤔 Enlighten me, please.

What happened to the Medieval Batman Supermans story. They're brothers secretly.... And no batman doesnt have to kill an unreasonable criminal. Just fix the court and jail system so they can get out next week. If he spend is money on a prison with actual security it's done. That's the only problem he has.

[@mattstyles2498]

Valley would loose to batman hand to hand. There are tons of ex green berets. Yes great fighter and other skills. But they arent the best ninja marshal arts fighter in the world. Bat is.

[@Wezt334]

I’m glad Rob gave props to the Night Gwen Stacey Died being a starting point for comics going into darker storytelling. Everyone’s always points to TDKR as the starting point but while it definitely made the themes more mainstream and arguably gave rise to the ultra violence of the 90s wave of comics it wasn’t the start of more adult stories in western comics. For me TNGSD was the starting point TDKR was the tipping point and without TNGSD we would not have had TDKR.

[@nobalkain624]

While the message is something most people can agree with, reality proves this would never work. Someone would come along and funnel that Money into something else. People will find a way to take advantage of it and get more then they should. Corruption comes forth when Good People just believe others are just as good as them, just as Bruce did in this Story. By giving away his Fortune to just let others be in charge of it he is just doing what he did before and shucking that responsibility on to someone else. Thing is this time he can say 'Hey its not my Money anymore at least'. He isnt changing anything, hes just running away from the problem and his responsibility in letting it happen.

[@Rengokuo4o6]

Bro let Batman catch a break will ya? He is trying his best and people keep bashing him whatever he does. Also i would like to point out that employees under Wayne enterprises will suffer like hell. Both the HQ and subsidiaries around the world because they would all loose their jobs and die of poverty even with being recompensed

[@nobalkain624]

@@Rengokuo4o6 That even more of a reason why this idea sucks. I am all for Bruce doing what he does and being in charge of how he uses his Money to try and Help. This idea of making Batman Broke so he is no longer a "Rich White Man" is just dumb. They pulled the same crap in the Mainline Book now.

[@Rengokuo4o6]

@@nobalkain624 Agreed. Everytime Batman does something it is always deconstructed to make him look bad. The message for this comic was so dumb but i felt really bad for Bruce because he was gaslighted by everyone including Nightwing his own son into thinking he is contributing to the crime rates in gotham. The idea that throwing money at charity events and at the police would fix the crime rate in gotham instead of the cash being stolen by corrupt personnel is the worst thing I've ever heard. Currently Bruce is suffering from mental illness, his stuck in prison with the Joker of all people, the argument that a robot is a better Batman than him is being made in the comic, and he is poor and has lost Alfred his father figure. I don't know what Bruce did to deserve all this. I guess this is fair since everybody thinks he's a mary sue.
