DC COMICS! Harley Quinn & Batwoman : Black Nerd RANTS

[@kemocali6504]

Batwoman a lesbian? Why the fuck not!? That's a dope story by itself alone!

[@DenalStrongshield]

Wasn't she was always a lesbian?

[@shadowkittycat97]

Denal Strongshield last time I checked...yes

[@ricardoruiz2157]

shadowkittycat97 there's a Batwoman? eh makes sense to me.

[@J_Themborn]

Denal Strongshield Batwoman originally was created to prove Batman and Robin were not gay which was a big no no in the 50s not the fact that Robin was a minor or that it would imply incest since they had a father/son relationship just the gay thing... that's still case these days really.

[@hydrolito]

Joel Rodriguez So guess then that Batman was a Pediphile as in those stories Robin was a kid. Guess Batwoman was a Pediphile also as she hung out with Batgirl and now we know she's a lesbian.

[@stewdippin]

Andre, you continue to amaze me with your videos! Keep up the great work!

[@lonnie_toons]

I would marry Nani from "LILO and Stitch".

[@kerrychristensen7204]

...she got kids, tho... Most of them are aliens. O.O

[@StevenUlyssesPerhero]

"Hahahah, oh Jughead, stop eatin' them burgers!" I LOVE that issue!

[@1krani]

I wouldn't marry any fictional character. It seems to be a rule of thumb that any marriage between two characters never ends well or somehow gets butchered by bad stories (i.e. JLA: Act of God with Supes and Lois).

[@nateriver3596]

"You see this is why I read Archie" Best response ever. xD

[@gabeg7036]

meanwhile marvel is chillin

[@HarpsiFizz]

Andre, you change lives. Yesterday the Harley Quinn thing showed up on my dashboard with typical Tumblr social justice overreaction, and I couldn't see what the problem was after reading their capslock screaming and swearing. Today your explanation made me get it. You're wonderful, Andre. You're compelling and convincing and you explained what the problem was without sounding like you were trying to convince us to form a lynch mob. Thank you, and I really mean thank you. You're magic.

[@TheGhettoPhilosopher]

Jessica rabbit no need to explain why

[@CoinOpTV]

Great job Andre - but what about the biggest debate of all time?? Betty or Veronica!

[@spokenqueen9111]

I would marry harley Quinn. Because, it seems that she would be the other half of me. Or I would marry you. You're really handsome.

[@JesterTheAsura]

Also, my marriage choices might be Kanade, Mistral, Juri, Paz, Ryoko, or Washu. Bonus points if you know where these lovely women are from

[@squeestahk6776]

Everybody should be thinking it, I'm just going to say it. Gwen Stacy. 'Nuff said.

[@squeestahk6776]

To answer you're question: I would marry Elmindreda "Min" Farshaw from Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. She's really down to earth, decently well self educated, feminine, but a tomboy at the same time and a sexy brunette. She loves reading and talking about philosophy, but also loves herself a practical joke. Her nose isn't in the air like Elayne. She isn't from an aggressive warrior culture which is ridiculously complicated like Avienda, or an all kinds of wonky backwards...slave trading culture like Tuon. And she's not deliberately difficult like Faile. Seriously, sometimes that girl gets all kinds of butthurt when her husband doesn't yell at her and display his physical dominance...and sometimes she doesn't want that at all and its really hard to tell with her. I do not envy Perrin one bit. Also, Min is not Aes Sedai...which is always a boon. Don't want to be outlived by your wife by 200+ years...or to "loose" an argument by having flows of air stuffed into your mouth. Bloody Aes Sedai!

[@BlackNerdComedy]

This was very kind of you to say :) Yes, I never intend to start lynch mobs or riots. I have no reason to put THAT much anger or emotion into stories like the ones I talk about. More to life than that. I just like to talk about silly nerdy stories that you guys request so I can make jokes about and then give my personal opinions on. And I'm glad people like you watch and enjoy them.

[@UltimateBeastify]

Don't you be hating on lunatics unleashed.

[@zackatk77]

"Oh Jughead, stop eatin' them burgers." It brings back so many memories. :)

[@LBoogie200]

I would either marry Loki or Batman.

[@EnvisageIt]

I am with you Andre, Archie was the only comic series I read. The first fictional character that I had a crush on was Jack Frost from the old Christmas Claymation when I was 5. I always knew he wasn't real, but I fell in love with the idea that a cold breeze, or snow falling could be caused by a boy who no one could see or appreciate him for it. So I started looking forward to winter every year in hopes that it would snow. So it usually only snows about once, it always puts a smile on my face.

[@mialovely6876]

I'd marry Peter Parker or Barry Allen. I just feel like either one of those two characters would be really compatible with me; if they were to be real people. But unfortunately both those characters are already taken by their respective redheads.

[@zainpeterson6723]

XD im just like both of them, im a nerd and i love science XD.

[@lecoulson6175]

Zain Peterson Nice try :D

[@zainpeterson6723]

Le Coulson what? I am a nerd, and I love science. Im a girl if you didnt notice

[@KDComic]

I would marry Black Canary and fight Green Arrow to have her and after that I'd call myself the Emerald Archer.... Would be awesome LOL

[@kingdraoony2]

I would marry..... lois lane, she has free access to meet superman

[@fishmaniachattanooga1680]

User!!! Haha

[@kingdraoony2]

Ethan Dickinson so? I still get to meet superman

[@kingdraoony2]

KellySmith555 nah, living in a giant ice castle isn't in my plan to rule the world

[@gmarvelous7]

I remember those art contests! I think I drew that turtle once....but I never sent it in.

[@cjcaliswag]

i would marry.....StarFire cuz 1. shes hot 2. shes hot 3. shes an alien

[@fishmaniachattanooga1680]

Ummmmm I'm pretty sure spider man would kill you

[@cjcaliswag]

naaaaah

[@mr.x6313]

If you have a thing for shallow, sex-driven bimbos, then Starfire would be perfect for you.

[@cjcaliswag]

i'm talkin old Starfire not the new 52 bimbo i wish they didn't do that to her

[@mr.x6313]

cjcaliswag Ah, I hear you. You are very discerning, I see. Pity what they did to her. If only they would pattern her personality off of her animated incarnation. She was funny and yet had a gravity that was unique amongst the cast.

[@rahcollier7006]

Otacon from Metal Gear Solid. He's kind, loyal, intelligent, and adorable. He seems like a guy you could watch weird movies with, game with, and really develop a close connection with. He's the only man in the series who sheds more than a single tear for a tragic situation and the story doesn't treat him like less of a man for it.

[@mr.x6313]

In retrospect, the Harley Quinn contest really makes a lot more sense in light of her new, Deadpool-esque book.

[@mikesworld6064]

Coming from a future year where we are actually getting an April Fools Day comic from DC where Harley Quinn farts non-stop for 40 pages, this seems almost tame now in comparison

[@aethonius2970]

why can a batman character not be gay or lesbian if the only 3 green arrow characters i know are gay and lesbian. this is disney channel being against gay rights but pixar being all for it ALL OVER AGAIN

[@aethonius2970]

and I have always had a weird crush on princess toadstool, so I guess I would marry her

[@kght222]

although i must admit a panel with harley quinn non-chalantly tapping a plugged in toaster off the back of a toilet into her bubble bath (which completely covers her) would be an epic panel in many situations, and in many of those situations crying would only start to describe the feels.

[@MLocke]

Are u sure that quote you mentioned wasn't from marvel talking about spiderman. :D LOL

[@KrizThaRipper]

best rant from anyone in a while

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Sorry, I missed that issue. I was too busy reading about the Archies vs. Josie and the Pussycats competing at the Battle of the Bands in Pop's Choklit Shop.

[@BlackNerdComedy]

(Slappy Squirrel voice) Now THAT'S comedy!

[@micheleburke9027]

black nerd, you are one of the funniest reviewers on youtube. I would probably marry Deadpool. He is just so fun and random.

[@Brandace_Lynn]

Raphael , TMNT. Tons in common, and he's a sweet guy underneath with a passionate and loyal disposition to his family, sarcastic, funny

[@BlackNerdComedy]

"I'll stand by you! Won't let nobody hurt yooooooooou!"

[@sonictoast]

Black Nerd, do you read the Sonic comics made by Archie? They are fantastic.

[@BlackNerdComedy]

It hit me like a Wrecking Ball :)

[@mattardis]

Every time you upload a video on a subject I know about, you have the Exact same view a me. And every time you upload one on a subject I don't know of, I share your view by the end... which is cool Cruz when everyone hates for no reason I can watch videos like "at least Andre knows what's up"

[@Silvermoondragon000]

Magneto, I like the fact that all he as done is to protect his people and he is a very passionate man who when in love will give all that he has.

[@BlackNerdComedy]

I haven't heard of this. Tell me more...

[@Tati_ab]

Well I'm excited for the Harley Quinn comic, not the contest but the actual com

[@afroeccentrix]

YES this is a great idea! Hopefully you consider it for one for your future videos!

[@oboylebeast]

Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket. Not even a doubt in my mind. Also... You are awesome!

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Now we're talking! What cereal? :)

[@Geck0GC]

Pr-probably harley o///o I know she sometimes is evil but I love her when she isn't evil like when she teams up with batman, green lantern and power girl.

[@VanessaRPerez]

Gambet: Only to hear those Louisiana French boy charms everyday! Or Captain America: Just to see him w/ a Puerto Rican colored girl like me! The wedding song could be "...I like to be in America!"

[@LydiaKrow]

Agreed - I do think DC should try to expand their formula and see what could happen, perhaps not with characters like Batman, since we like seeing him as a lone wolf, but with others who rely on their relationships more. (And in that regard, Batwoman makes sense!)

[@imnotastarfish]

I own that archie comic... and none of what he quotes happens i love it!

[@Mulletmanalive]

a) Draw a turtle, then a bear, then the turtle doing the bear: the Deviantart school of illustration! b) They didn't ask for a pinup because pinups are the best way to avoid getting hired in the comics industry; they need you to prove you can actually draw sequential art. Y'know, comics. The story they chose was dumb, but so was that section of your counterargument. At least you made me laugh :D

[@lqdgrphcs]

Good point.......but as Andre pointed out the interpersonal relationships they have outside of being superhero's is an important part of what makes hero's relatable. Peter Parkers relationship with Mary Jane has a distinct impact on Spiderman. With the Flash his personal life has shaped who he is. Batman's entire existance stems from tragedy in his personal life...hell, the personal relationship he has with Alfred is pretty much a marriage and provides a moral anchor for the character.

[@SalvadorDolbyvsZAWARUDO]

Your rant on marriage of superheroes being good stories...you just described 50 percent (if not more) of comics that allow their heroes to get married...

[@JadaCarlton]

Hey, hey, HEY!!! Loonatics Unleashed was an awesome show! Fight me!

[@andydufresne6577]

Spot on Andre, great job.

[@bobdotexe]

'the killing joke' the only comic you need to read!

[@shadowwarior9000]

boy it feels good to be a marvel fan right now

[@ChipnDipz1]

1:01 This is TOO funny. Contemplating on that subscribe button.

[@colonelmustang854]

I'd marry Kitty Pryde of the X-Men. She's smart, she's beautiful, and, oh yeah, she took down the Juggernaut, bitch! (That was the best part of the otherwise awful third X-Men movie). Plus, in the comics, she has a pet dragon. And that's awesome.

[@TheEmmy3663]

I would do the same.

[@Scoritn]

Favorite X-Man character.

[@aixaaa_1117]

But Kitty Pryde and Starlord are the cutest comic book couple ever

[@redactedredacted6656]

Sokka from Avatar :The Last Airbender . He`s funny , sarcastic , caring and is awesome with a sword . He is also kind of dorky and most of the slap stick comes from him screwing up or something bad happening to him . His sister is kind of awesome as well . Maybe our kids would be water benders from their aunty`s side .

[@TheJamesFilms]

nice video andre and i gotta go with Catwoman because i been in love with her seens i was just 8 years old

[@SteeleCarterable]

I totally agree with what you're saying about the Harley Quinn contest, Andre. You've touched upon things I didn't even think about. However, I have to disagree with you about the whole Batwoman thing, my brother. I, for one, do not want to see Batwoman marry another woman nor am I comfortable with her "relationship". But that's mainly because of my personal beliefs and convictions. Anyway, cool vid and keep up the great work, Andre!

[@DreadEdenoi]

I'm sure if Andre knew about Lobo, he may be surprised that the character was "Twilighted".

[@BlueMaxx86]

I'd marry Squirrel Girl. She's cute, funny and is unbeatable, so I wouldn't have to worry villains getting me so much.

[@angelofphoenix1983]

Sailor Saturn, I can relate with her backstory and understand her hardship/heartache

[@KingOfDoma]

This is gonna make me seem weird, but... have you see who they cast to play Fat Walda for Game of Thrones? Have you seen her SMILE? *siiiiiiiiiiiigh* Yeah. Yeah.

[@BealsBunch]

Darn! **puts away her torch and pitchfork** ;)

[@BrendanJSmith]

Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Supergirl, Spider-Woman, Wonder Woman, I could go all day

[@Belldexter1]

Amy Winston from Amethyst Princess of Gemworld, the DC Nation shorts

[@LayRoyalty]

Thanks for reminding me of Loonatics unleashed.

[@artdcora]

I don't think Poison Ivy would be that interested, unless you somehow gained the ability to use photosynthesis.

[@jessicafyler7253]

I would marry Seto Kaiba from the original Yu-Gi-Oh, for reasons.

[@serenasunset6243]

Raph because he is a cool character, great fighter, snarky, and needs to let himself be soft every once in a while. His love for his family is apparent in almost any generation and is admirable even though he can split up when ever he wants.( Loki) and really I like moody tuff guys with a soft side.

[@TheChrisHype]

I was going to enter that DC art contest (you know I can draw, Andre. :P) but I was far to disgusted with the trivialization of suicide to go through with it....also, I realized that I would be working for DC's New 52, so even if I did well and was popular, I would still find myself getting fired or quitting.

[@jiffah]

Just a few clairifications: The contestants won't get hired, simply paid for the work if picked. The artist for that ongoing title is already chosen. The contest is only for the first issue and it revolves around Harley being depressed, kinda wanting to end it all, and has a different artists draw her every page or so to "try them out" but finding a new path when the new artist draws her. This title is intended to be DC's answer to Deadpool. Morbidly funny while breaking the 4th wall.

[@MadddyDawg50]

TMNT Donnie and April!! Because they are so frickin perfect for each other!!

[@strobequintarian]

Mai Shuranui would be my dream girl for animated cartoon wife. She just nudges out Chun Li.

[@tpickup11]

I'd marry Ahsoka Tano. I mean would you blame me? She's very skilled, loving and you know if you're getting on her bad side or not. She's also not just beautiful on the outside, but on the inside too. I was thinking either Sabine Wren, White Tiger from Ultimate Spider-Man or Harley Quinn... but while Sabine is very attractive and loves art and explosives I don't see it working out. White Tiger, smart, pretty, but likes reading romance novels more than anything. Harley Quinn... she's out of her freaking mind! LOL! Ahsoka for the win!

[@Scoritn]

I wouldn't blame you one bit.

[@savannahcupcake13]

Tony Stark...I mean he's IRON MAN. How much more bad ass does it get? Sorry Pepper :P

[@artdcora]

Is it weird that I'm legitimately curious in seeing what the submissions to that contest look like? I think I may have some issues.

[@BETAmosquito]

Lobo is a character brought to life as a parody of 80's violent overpowered douches. He was fun, HILARIOUS and got up the nose of 'too serious' comic creators. And now we have...urgh...bishy Lobo because "what is comedy in comics?! I don't know! Lets grim dark some more. Yaaaaaaay!"

[@erikawinchester1986]

I would marry Raphael because he a freakin ninja turtle, protective of his family and friends, and i like his signature Brooklyn accent. :D

[@ZomgRuler]

Ditto. It can shapeshift into anything! ... What, it's f*cked up now but not in Pokemon?

[@Me-mb1ex]

Dick Grayson...although he'd probably never make it past the engagement phase, he never does XD.

[@Iqbalx1]

Hey Andre since you read Archie comics could you rant about the changes that are going on in the sonic comic series

[@obsessiveninja]

I'm not sure about the details per se, but from what I've read, that Lobo design up there isn't actually the same character as the Lobo we're used to. This one is the "original" Lobo, and the one we're used to apparently has a stolen identity. At least, that's what I understand from what they've told us so far. So it's more like new character rather than a redesign of the old one.

[@ItsTheFizz]

And as if Harley hasn't been through enough already, yesterday's Harley Quinn one-shot turned her into a mass child murderer...

[@sameo15TheDragonTame]

Age May from Pokemon eight years, throw me in the world of Pokemon and I'll marry her. Or that one cute orange headed girl from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

[@andrewpatterson4976]

Same here. Either that or Misty.

[@mariotaz]

Everyone reads Archie when they go to Free Comic Book Day. Everyone picks it up even though they don't like it. I saw that! >: (

[@pinoypizza]

As it was just recently announced, it'll definitely take a while before it hits the Internet proper and is understandable why you haven't heard of this yet. It definitely will make for an interesting video. As entertaining as it is to take a look at nostalgic shows and properties, episodes where you take a look at current stuff are also great since it provides a different perspective. Harry Potter is for those kids of the late 90's and early 2000's, so it would be great to hear your thoughts.

[@LordNifty]

I'm trying to think of a comic book character that I could marry that would not probably lead to my horrible, horrible death. ...I'll get back to you.

[@pinoypizza]

Hey Andre, can your next rant video be your thoughts on the announcement by WB of a new Harry Potter Universe film series? It would give you an opportunity to give your thoughts on Harry Potter too.

[@jacksquatjb]

I love your videos! I would marry either Harley (if she was a good person, which she isn't =/) or definitely Zatanna XD I don't think the Harley contest is so bad, but they definitely should've realized it would spark controversy, but I'm sure that's what they were going for...

[@robertkruntovski6322]

Lobo issue was AMAZING! The New 52 is hit and Miss. It's sad when artists and writers are leaving over disputes with Editors.

[@StevenLuvsYa]

I miss Sword & Shell! Hasn't uploaded a new video in over a year :'(

[@justaduck3615]

Which archie comics do you read? I've only read the sonic the hedgehog ones

[@greenwing20]

Yeah , he was. That was retconned after a timetravel/crossover storyline. In fact every marriage in the DC Universe was retconned, except for Animal Man's.

[@AgentownshipRebelion]

I *bleepin* quit too! This the fourth else-world level bizarre story I've heard from this company in recent years.

[@key099able]

Are you gonna do a video about the Ps vita tv?

[@Rainquility]

Tifa Lockhart (FF7). She kicks butt and serves beer.

[@qu3en8]

I would marry Gambit in a heartbeat, love that sexy Cajun accent

[@idickstein]

You are my new favorite person.
