[@MLGHazrad]

This version of Batman is not inherently evil, just more twisted and more violent. I like the way Bruce trained, very reminiscent of the origin of Bane.

[@spottedslash4256]

I agree, this is what certainly could of happened in the main universe if he fell into his Anger and Madness from the loss of his parents. Instead of training with Martial Artists and detectives. He trained under Serial killers, Assassins, Cat burglars and mob bosses. Not a batman of justice. But a Batman of Vengeance and Punishment. Might be my favorite "Dark" Batman as of now.

[@officerspider7996]

He’s more mislead than anything. Any morals or inspiration went out the window because he simply went Crazy

[@mikebearthegamer1365]

My thoughts exactly. He's not a villain, he's more of an antihero in this world, which I like. Not all dark multiverse batmen should be evil, just not entirely good.

[@DallySkyeAnims]

Not really sure why those cat burglars and mob bosses are in Arkham though, shouldn't those people be in an actual prison than a mental hospital?

[@haribalakrishnan1908]

Truth be told they could make a cool video game based on the entire premises

They should make a version of Batman: Dark Multiverse where his parents were never killed, but as Bruce got older, enjoying the luxuries of wealth, he became consumed by greed. Eventually the Orange Lantern Ring finds him.

[@wdcain1]

This world seems like it would make a great Elseworlds mini-series: A dystopian Gotham under joint rule by the Court of Owls and the League of Shadows, a population that veers on full revolt, and a cruel Batman who learned all his skills from super-villains. I hope this world gets expanded upon.

[@ohnosmoarlulcatz]

I feel that is true of most of the alternate universe Batmen

[@Nyghtking]

There were a couple things I wanted to see, like when we got shone those dark multi-verse versions of the heroes, like a zombie looking green lantern with the ring embedded in his head, or a flash with the bottom half of a mechanical spider, or a doctor fate with a necklace of body parts, I want to know the stories of all of those.

Hell, these individual stories of the Dark Multiverse are more interesting than what they're doing with T.B.W.L who has sadly been burnt out and overused like the Court of the Owls after their debut.

[@Aristocratic13]

Animated like the Spawn cartoon

[@constantine.726]

Like one episode for each story, then in the finale or nearing the finale we'd get something like a mass crossover between all of them. Or something like that, I don't know... What do you guys think?

[@donovanlarsen7982]

Actually, I’d like to point out that this version of Bruce wasn’t broken and descended into madness. He faked madness, which is explained on the list of skills he learned from the inmates of Arkham. One of which was how to fake a worsening psychological condition.

[@vmaninc.761]

That's because he's not evil he's an extremely dark hero that has no qualms about killing those who have been harmful to the Innocents of Gotham for notice he started a war with the corrupt elites that were connected to both THE LEAGUE OF ASSASSINS and THE COURT OF OWLS not anyone good so I still believe he has some sense of justice and Morality that can't be compromise by someone like the batman who laughs at least I hope! Lol 💯🔥😁😉👍

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

19:49 Did you ever hear of the Tragedy of Batman the Silenced? I thought not. It's not a story the Bat Family would tell you. It's an Arkham legend...

[@dswynne]

I wouldn't mind seeing this as a prelude towards introducing a "new" Batman, you know, a "Thomas Wayne, Jr." who was mentally insane (who would have had been the Owlman of the Court of Owls, had it not been for the "accident").

[@bigbardvods]

Bro I was sitting here thinking “I wonder if the dude with the mustache is gonna comment here” and BOOM. You are

[@WallNutBreaker524]

It's you 😂

[@saturncrush]

Completely missed opportunity. I heard a rumor there were going to be more of these tales that would lead to an assembly of these Dark Universe characters that would be used to fight something...........huge later.

[@Yasuda9000]

Yes, there are going to be more tales from the Dark Multiverse. They will involve Flashpoint, War of the Gods, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Dark Knights Metal. And the supposed "heroes" will be recruited by Tempest Fuginaut (I might have spelled that wrong) to fight in the Death Metal stories.

[@igoroliveira6725]

Tempus Fuginaut said something like that in Tales of Dark Multiverse: Knightfall page 6. He said that there was a Crisis coming, probably the biggest yet and that he was wandering the Dark Multiverse in search of worlds or heroes that might be helpful.

The Dark Multiverse Series should have an animated anthology tv series. That would be cool. Each episode telling a different one of these stories.

@@strawboyhawkins3 thanks for pointing that out. I haven't heard of that story before, but it looks really interesting. Adding it to my list!

[@moonrock115]

In my mind it’s more likely that Jim Gordon was killed early into Gothams history before it became a city state - Gotham prior to Batman reshuffling things was massively corrupt and filled with dirty cops who were all on mob payrolls. It’s likely Gordon was either killed by said dirty cops, or he became Commissioner and refused to play ball with Thomas Eiliot (who at this time probably wielded large influence in the city) and so Thomas has Gordon killed. Also the “Gray Sons” are just the Talons but since they’re led by Dick he most likely renamed them. The title “Gray Son” refers to the Night Of Owls event a few years ago, in which its implied Dick Grayson is in fact the descendant of one of the Court’s Talons and was being groomed by them, but also by his ancestor who titled him “The Gray Son of Gotham”, implying he wanted him to take over things with the Talons or even the Court. President Lincoln March is most likely the same guy from Night Of Owls, but obviously we don’t know if it’s Earth 3 Owlman or just a guy named Lincoln March who’s corrupt and in bed with the League Of Asassins.

[@GottMoxy]

Gordon was killed because he was close to cracking the Wayne case.
