Dawnbreaker Origin - Batman Who Murdered His Best Friend & Revived His Dead Parents As Zombies

[@tomkerruish2982]

He's not from Earth 32, but Earth -32, i.e. "negative thirty-two." All the Dark Multiverse worlds are assigned negative numbers.

[@henrytoledo4103]

Just what I was about to say, -32

[@stephenjacobs5916]

I was gonna say the same thing. Kept bothering me every time he said Earth 32 instead of negative 32.

I've noticed this channel makes a lot of mistakes with lore little ones but still making mistakes

[@cord391]

I love the reason as to why he should be more recognized, I've played DCUO for the better half of 6 years and they released a Que where you fight each individual dark knight, all while batman narrates each defeat. When you beat The Dawnbreaker in said Que, Batman says essentially a shorter version of your explanation where he basically would be robbed of his morality and limitations, thus making him give into his more baser instincts. Great video and I love the content keep er up

[@curvingfyre6810]

I think you misread the meaning of this origin. I think that in that moment, the real bruce felt the same thing. A strong, albeit temporary, paralysis of thought and feeling. It's a very real form of shock. It became his permanent state of being when he affirmed it as correct by immediately being told that he should continue feeling nothing (the ring praised his lack of fear), and by being given the means to immediately enact revenge and take a life, before he had time to think about a proper moral code. Dark multiverse or no, if the normal bruce had recieved a ring at that moment, he too would have become the dawnbreaker, and *that's* why these stories are so scary.

[@CorbCorbin]

They will. Batman Who Laughs was made the most powerful character in DC history, at least according to these modern writers, and even tied into bringing The Watchmen and nullifying Dr Manhattan, in the process. They basically wrote, that the the evil and chaotic versions of everyone are more powerful, and can easily defeat an entire universe of every good version by itself. Though it may be in another lifetime, as they haven’t even made a decent Luthor, Darkseid or Joker story, within the recent movie-verse yet.

[@atjs1234]

It would have to be a series or a couple of movies. They did Injustice dirty with the movie that came out 🤦🏿‍♂️

Do you think you could make a video about Green Lantern villain Krona? I think the character is very underrated.

The 1st lantern? That would be interesting...

[@CorbCorbin]

Wasn’t he the main antagonist in the wrap around story, inside the animated movie, with Hal telling stories of other lanterns to the newest lantern? Mongo shows up with every Lantern at the end? It has Kilowogs origin, the first lantern chosen by a ring, a Mongo story and a Bodaki(misspelled) story.

[@jonbrewer297]

@@CorbCorbin He was actually a pretty huge villain in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Krona was the man who saw the primordial chaos, and in doing so, the resulting uncertainty of what can only be described as a cosmic primal scene created the multiverse-and the Anti-Monitor. The Anti-Monitor was contained, until Pariah did the exact same thing. Oops. (And yes, when I saw Battinson, that much guyliner made me think of Pariah.)

[@notgedd]

@@CorbCorbin Did you mean Mogo and Boodikka?

[@CorbCorbin]

@@notgedd It’s called Emerald Knights Yes. One story is ultimately about Mogo, who ends up saving the day in the wraparound as well, and Boodikka also has a story. Also, the first Lantern “chosen” by a ring story, and Kilowag’s story, about why he says poosers. 😄 I like it better than the First Flight.

[@carbondragon]

In past decades, we still believed in heroes, and in general, there were more heroic versions of the character than not. That is to say that evil versions were rare, the belief was that MOST versions of a given character would be "good." These days though, we've lost faith in our heroes, and more and more the message of DC and Marvel is that the heroes we know are exceptions, that being good is the long shot and most would be evil and even the heroes have feet of clay. Even if we decide this is "realistic" (that most Batman characters or Superman characters, etc. would be selfish and evil), it's not uplifting, nor does it help us believe that we have a future as a species. If your heroes are villains, you will be too (or at least it's more likely).

[@thereseemstobeenanerror1219]

You mind telling me why you decided to post this right here?

[@doktorphlog2143]

We've taken a look at ourselves are being more honest with each other by telling these stories. Bruce, at that moment, given that power, would 100% be down to smoke every criminal in Gotham. And so could any of us if given power when we're not mentally ready for it. It's a warning from ourselves to ourselves about who we really are in moments of weakness, and what happens if we never heal.

I have to disagree there good everywhere here a few examples parent raising there kid to a person working at a soup kitchen or even the simple act of holding a door open I know that not exactly great thing that a superhero or even a regular hero would do but i belive it in those little thing that prove mankind could handle that power and responsibility and prove we do have a future because if we where truly evil why would we have kids why would we simply open a door and waste 5 minutes of our time for no gain at all it because we want ourselves to be good and in my personal opinion as long as we keep trying we will get there someday

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Personally I just hated his scrawny design. On top of that, you can't tell he's embraced darkness...just a scrawny kid with gadgets on his head. I wished his design was pushed further

[@shad0w7x56]

It makes sense for him to be scrawny though, since his ring is so powerful, he doesn’t need to be physically fit like normal batman(who has no power ring). Also I think the ring is more then enough proof that he’s embraced darkness, plus him being batman kind of already gives off dark vibes.

How many different versions of The Batman are there amongst the many other multiverses subject to origins and level of powers and if they all the same Bruce Wayne or something completely outside that origin?

@@markzosemsuello4016 I hope so too. I'm heartbroken with what American comics has become. I love DC. I like Marvel, I've never hated it. But incompetent leaders at the top repeatedly make the wrong decisions on how to write, direct, and guide their universe. See, that's the problem. It isn't their universe. It's fake. That divide leads to a diminishment of passion, which leads to plot convenience overrides( where characters act as they wouldn't do to plot, ex Wonder Woman in Injustice). What really pisses me off is these characters don't get the respect they deserve. Stan Lee LOVED his characters. To him they wouldn't 2D. They were apart of him. Idk, mabye that's cringy. The biggest flaw they have is not being true to their universe, and characters. This leads to several other issues, including the abuse of politics. However, I don't think politics shouldn't be used in fiction, it was done well in AoT( Obvious WW2 vibes as well, racism explained in an interesting way, with real life parallels, not done bluntly more subtle), anouther example is Arrow, it portrayed both political stances well in that one episode he was governor, my final example the White Knight, showcasing Batman helping the rich and beating up criminals, a story critiquing Bruce's crusade. The problem is they just use real world politics, which people don't really care for truly. That or they don't give both sides respect.
