DC Metal #2.5 "Gotham Resistance, Batman Who Laughs Plan" - Rebirth Complete Story | Comicstorian

[@itsmesky3545]

Green Arrow would seem like a pretty good and compatible uncle for the Robins. I mean, they already have matching eye masks.

[@grandpac6044]

In other parallel universe stories, Green Arrow is usually the person Batman trust to do things for him that are really important. So I can see it

[@JLT0087]

Can't remember if it was the Gold or Silver age but as parallel characters they used to be good friends, with Dick Grayson coming up with the name of Ollie's "Arrow-Cave". Then later they had a falling out over political differences and Green Arrow's overreliance on trick arrows. After that it was usually more a case of them disagreeing with each other as to why to do things, but still trusting each other to get things done.

[@dillonyoung5502]

Yeah, Damian would never respect him, he barely respects his father.

[@mittensfastpaw]

I tell ya this Metal event has my full attention. The latest Marvel events were something I honestly ignored and didn't care to know anything about. Yet this DC Metal event every issue just leaves me wanting more.

[@juniorgildas9822]

Outrage News Network civil war 2 Evil captain America

[@dyllanrodriguez2828]

Mittens FastPaw same here Im loving it to like no end. Hoping the Dark Multiverse stays and doesnt just go Away.

[@RichOrElse]

*candycover* DC stands for Detective Comics which is a Batman title

[@FLMNG00]

RichOrElse Digital Comics* Detective Comics is a part of DC

[@if91100]

"CROC DON'T WANNA DIE!!!" God I love that.

[@sharilshahed6106]

But he will sacrifice himself to protect Gotham. Guess he's more afraid of Harley's antics than anything.

[@calebchang4305]

croc in his infinite wisdom informs her: "I AM ALSO GREEN!"

[@Karlos1234ify]

Green Arrow: So am I!

[@firetarrasque4667]

And I am green too.

[@omegamaximus1727]

Who wants an Animated Movie based on Dark Knights Metal.

[@pyromaniac034]

me

[@Maiden_of_Nihil]

Yes!!!

[@renoex3389]

I do

[@Devilish420]

As Cyborg says "BOOYA!"

[@chinookguy1495]

It wouldn't make sense to a huge majority of people.

[@jholt8518]

The riddler: so... you're telling me to hide a couple hundred of green question mark trophies all over Gotham?

[@d.i.m2731]

Jesse Holt OH F#ck NO

[@davidcobb2682]

From the games lol, the Batman who laughs is truly twisted and cruel

[@ClassicToonFan64]

*Gasp!* The fiend... he must also have told him to make lots of race tracks!

[@stealthybird9656]

This made my day.

[@sebastianjoseph6728]

The Batman who laughs has to be the sickest of the Evil Batmen....not to mention how he has his blood thirsty Robins on a leash. Love it!

[@Ali-bd6kb]

Adidas Boy nah it's def the man who laughs

[@tiquezgraham7963]

Anyone who puts children on leashes and weres that is evil in my book

[@l789]

+Adidas Boy i think he is strongest

[@deviousj5868]

Sebastian Joseph creepiest too.

[@creativecookbook]

Has comistorian covered the backstory of batman who laughs?

[@actlgilnk]

MY GOD THIS IS THE MOST EPIC DC EVENT EVER

[@quietsquid4271]

This is the most addicting series yet!!

[@megaxrocker5073]

Nightwing's costume is freaking epic.

[@abbyb2811]

Megax Rocker ikr!!!

[@mikasa8292]

I think everyone looks epic! But nightwing gets bonus points😊

[@daemonblackfyre3238]

Mister B (Batman Who Laughs) about to get laid.

[@Zhello79]

Daemon Blackfyre it won't make him laugh tho lol

[@fatherpein1281]

More like the man who moaned

[@BrotherWulfe]

fatherpein12 lmfao

[@sharilshahed6106]

if only he didn't cockblock himself.

[@turtato2155]

Daemon Blackfyre more like about to rape Harley

[@Borderlines]

DC is kicking Marvel's ass in comics as far as stories go. :( Goddamit Marvel pull it together

[@karaso0]

A2 True, I’ve always favored marvels heroes over DC’s but the last few years I’ve been sticking to DC for my comic needs. Still go to marvel for my films though.

[@iceandfrost618]

DC is getting there that's good but marvel has been much shitter little by little

[@martinbekker3855]

Nah. Marvel's getting their money from their better movies.

[@anikii5814]

A2 Remember when it was the other way around.

[@TerraEmperor1]

DC has usually been better when it comes to the comics

[@nathanmitchell3079]

Holy crapbasket did harley just break the fourth wall like deadpool and she-hulk

[@scotty_yotty6669]

Nathan Mitchell it's because her and joker both know they are comic book characters that is why they have very little fear of death

[@WannabeWryter]

Nathan Mitchell yes nobody was mentioning it

[@vernonmessamjr.9227]

These stories of DC is soo successful omg

[@99markim1]

Killer Croc may don't care about batman. He care about to save his Gotham even sacrifice himself to save his city. I really like him he have great honor,and anti-hero guy.

[@MultiHydralisk]

Markell Kimble He also has a fantastic relationship with Enchantress on the Suicide Squad. I must admit I never saw that coming, but I find myself loving it the more I read about it.

[@Aristocratic13]

+Patrick Briotte wait... They are a thing?

[@dyllanrodriguez2828]

Patrick Briotte its funny that Croc, Clayface, and Mr. Freeze has evolved as heroes.

[@dyllanrodriguez2828]

Patrick Briotte Mr. Freeze dips in and out of heroism

[@ymfexperience3138]

Dyllan Rodriguez but that goes to show how Batman world has the best characters and villains. Superman is still boring

[@Blackbeardf3b]

That "Jon Snow Nightwing" joke finally makes sense.

[@LordMelusar]

And might I add that the outfit looks bad ass as all hell.

[@quitebad459]

So batman who laughs can warp reality... Dope

[@sharilshahed6106]

I think reality warping is Barbatos' specialty and BWL being his right hand man had been given extra powers directly from him.

[@jaymeelwalcott-smart6865]

Sharil Shahed It's spelled Barbados

[@sharilshahed6106]

Monkey D. Luffy couldn't help putting the 'Bat' in the middle.

[@Devilish420]

+Monkey D. Luffy Sharil actually spelled it right. In the comics it is spelled "Barbatos", lol. :D

[@sharilshahed6106]

ShinAkuma420 thanks. Checked today's comics and it's Barbatos.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Not so much a resistance as it's more them flopping around until Dr. Fate comes in to put them in a new bowl.

[@JEsco2Nerdy]

DCs Metal event is amazing and the way Benny does his shows is great. 2+ years.

[@irongiant0]

First of all, massive thanks to you Comicstorian for doing all this and with such amazing readings! Feels like an audiobook you're so good. All these Batman Metal stories and this Gotham Resistance storyline makes for one of the most interesting and just plain FUN times I have seen come out of DC in a long time. I would gladly pay to see this madness put on the big screen as animated movies. I just can't get enough of it!

[@noahwilson8828]

Starfire has become...... STARFIRE THE TERRIBLE !!!!!!!

[@GhostHyperhex]

LOL

[@LeoTG3]

Can nightwing please keep using that costume I feel like his character matured well into it and it seems right for him

[@randominternetsurfersurfin7595]

Leo idk,seems to medieval for him.

[@sharilshahed6106]

Leo Nightwing says he hates it, in his issue.

[@big_lolo_01]

Leo I agree it looks cool

[@Sparda_LDK]

JON SNOW NIGHTWING!!!

[@theboss181000]

That would make damien aarya

[@nightwing2226]

jameslloyd999 You know nothing Dick Grayson.

[@CoomanX5]

8:40 why mr. Freeze looks like kratos lol?

[@MrRobot-0]

CoolmanX5 , because he is bald , pale , muscular and shirtless in this comics.

[@CoomanX5]

Eduardo Souza ...and has armor and sword almost like kratos.

[@omegalock3549]

CoolmanX5 because he got the power to warp reality from the card

[@derpywurpl9667]

Beacause of Jesus LOGIC XD

[@PhinManiacs]

Even through all of that drama, the thing that caught my attention the most was that they implied that Nightwing and Starfire have a history. With all the changes made, I wasn't sure if that had been retconned or not.

[@m79isbeast]

PhinManiacs read nightwing #15 (Rebirth) and teen titans rebirth (no number it's the first one that came out before #1 if that makes sense to you)

[@brandond9368]

Bruh this Metal event is just SO HARDCORE I LOVE IT! BEST PRESENT COMIC EVENT YET! 30 or 40 years WB should really make a Dark Multiverse for movies

[@iam007richie]

and 30 or 40 years critics ass will still whine about how dark DC movies are while bending over backwards for marvel BS getting their bank accounts fatter by disney

[@bobothebunnycat]

Just epic, how many great lines did you get in as well! "An evil suicide squad, well, whats the difference" and so many more as others have listed. Cheers for the brilliant video again guys.

[@גילברלב-צ2מ]

2:24 goliath the gargoyl. Childhood flashback

[@Klenooo]

גיל ברלב *Goliath

[@גילברלב-צ2מ]

Ginger Nation Gaming Thx

[@betterlatethannever4529]

Guess we now know what happened at the end of The Killing Joke

[@iam007richie]

As soon as I saw that character "batman who laughs" I just said that out loud lol ... Bats killed Joker at the end of killing joke

[@betterlatethannever4529]

The Forehead yes. In one other storyline the Joker thought he finally killed Batman and the result was Mr J going sane. He became normal as all get out. So we're suggesting that the opposite takes place here.

[@personagrand5674]

Well they already gave The Batman Who Laughs his backstory. Though it's basically the same as the Killing Joke... but went even further. Joker, somehow more insane than ever, kidnaps families of three. Then after trapping Batman, he blows up several hospitals then begins recreating how Batman's family died. Onpy this time, after killing the parents, he infected the child with his Joker Toxin. This went over and over until Batman broke Joker's neck. When Joker died Batman was infected by a more powerful Joker Toxin strain. He then killed the Bat Family, then went after the League and made Superman and Jon kill Lois Lane, then the world came last. Barbatos (I like to think he's the Dark Batman Version Shazam) invited the Batman Who Laughs to be the leader of the evil Batmen.

[@TheVamxie]

Persona Grand nopeb batman spectre

[@giseller6367]

Haven't been this excited with a storyline since before new 52 !

[@joshuadmytryshyn5671]

Thank you so much @comicstorian for doing this. I love your channel and content so much, I get unbelievably excited whenever you post and your dramatic reading makes it all the more entertaining! (Absolutely LOVE your batman who laughs voice!!!!) keep doing what your doing you magnificent man! Sincerely, a broke guy who can barely afford comics ❤️❤️

[@Mrreddead1011]

DC Metal and all its tie ins are incredible!

[@dyllanrodriguez2828]

This shit is like so cool to literally no end. Like this just gets better and better. I love every single thing thats been coming out of this. I hope the Dark Multiverse remains a thing and doesnt go away after this. This kicks the shit out of Spider Verse and like Venomverse.

[@DorianJones_PBA]

So Early The Title Says "Rebirthing"

[@comicstorian]

lol I HAVENT WOKEN UP YET

[@NeroLeMorte]

WAKE ME UP INSIDE WAKE ME UP INSIDE

[@byu3905]

watching halfway... had to pause and say AMAZING!!!

[@ThomasSmith-lb9bu]

I always love seeing the DC metal update. Its always what i drop everything to listen to. I also listen to Comicstorian videos at work

[@jadonyohannan5864]

Thank you so much Comicstorian!!!! Amazing story telling, you cannot be replaced!!! Keep on uploading on DC METAL, and just keep on staying amazing!

[@tracesizemore6736]

This is an awesome storyline. I've been avoiding the origins of the others on variant comics channel among other spoiler videos just to hear them dramatically read to me

[@williamayers617]

I actually love this event. from what I get from it is, you don't want batman with superpowers. ever.

[@TheVamxie]

William Ayers um batman who laughs has none so youre probably mean you dont want Batman to cave in on a bad day

[@razor-sharpthoughtfulness907]

DC knows how to tell an exciting and cohesive story across its multiverse.

[@toddsunnanonta]

Man Scarecrow should've gotten a card that would've been cool.

[@sharilshahed6106]

Generic Poptart he did, too bad they don't do many issues beyond 4.

[@stevenmattrell3448]

What's with Nightwing's new suit? It looks awesome

[@MrRandomNotts]

Omg 😱 amazing I can’t wait till it’s complete and I can read the entire thing 😂😂😂

[@kingofshamans782]

1:27 Batman doesn't see kids as kids anymore he sees them as robins lol and God damn Harley, you looking good. This was an awesome comic!!!

[@BlackKevin808]

As much as I enjoy Variant Comics, I need Rob and you to make the rest of the Dark Knights origin videos. It feels like I'm watching another Variant video when they did the Drowned origin video. I'm spoiled now, because of Rob and you.

[@c0wboys4life]

Love how Damian just handled that riddle tho lol

[@animeguy10000000]

I'm glad that you are doing videos for the Metal story, I've been behind on DC comics, the last Batman crossover event I have is The Button.

[@andysanchez6718]

Yes!!! Keep it coming!! Everything Metal is so damn epic so far

[@bigdaddyd9301]

CAUSE ITS METAL!!!

[@sharilshahed6106]

BIG DADDY D METAL!!

[@karenreid1727]

Loving metal so far can't wait for the back stories of the other evil batman to come out this probably my favourite event in a long time so excited.

[@warrickjames7527]

One of the best comic stories in awhile

[@craigharvey-gurr337]

DC Metal should get its own animated movie series.

[@TheCodyD]

Haven't found a story this good in forever

[@Blackbeardf3b]

Evil Damian is a Damian that followed his father into the dark? That can't be literal right? Unless laughing Batman is actually from the positive multiverse

[@deviousj5868]

Blackbeardf3b another universe Batman did it I assume.

[@notamimic7253]

Blackbeardf3b I think it is in a metaphorical sense

[@omegalock3549]

I’m an negative universe Batman became Joker, and while the rest of the bat family went against him, Damian stayed by him (willingly or unwillingly, perhaps a mix of both) and killed the bat family with him.

[@Blackbeardf3b]

Omega Lock A logical deduction. Sounds like something Damian would do. He's very loyal to his dad. I wonder why they're so deformed though maybe a special kind of joker venom?

[@雪底下]

Blackbeardf3b The story is because Batman killed the Joker, but there is a venom in his heart which turns the person who kills the Joker into the next Joker. BWL is because of him killing Joker.

[@Rougesteelproject]

It makes so much sense that the metal can destroy the dark guys. In earlier parts, it was mentioned that the metal vibrates with the patterns of the dark multiverse. It's like the flash, forcing them to vibrate at the frequency of their own universe, instead of this one.

[@theotianyarttar9230]

nightwings outfit in this might be my favorite ever , love that cape.

[@farmandoart5850]

16:30 Juan Ferreyra’s art was perfect for this sequence

[@darrenfromwales7978]

Earky viewing today. Thanks comicstorian for doing what you do

[@closair]

[@sparrowmannamworraps3724]

God damn I'm loving DC Metal!!

[@jacobrucquoi4824]

"Let me show you what those cards can really do!"... Sounds like it's time to d-d-d-d-d-duel!

[@JOSH122OO4]

I'm loving this series so far

[@alexcomer63]

That nightwing costume is badass at 6:40.

[@kevinthao2590]

This story would make for an amazing game! Lol

[@greenlanternhg5141]

Gonna have to watch this over and over

[@gbdeck200]

Holy crap the metal is so hype That end, the turnabout begins Poor Titans, croc the MVP dang

[@ramona.vargas7298]

Im reminded of Batman & Robin with Freez, Ivy, & Dick's snow themed suit

[@Sp0rtzfan45]

Super Excited Thanks Benny!

[@socialaccount0000]

Dude I'm loving that new Nightwing costume. It's like Batman's but different

[@keenan9084]

oh man its happening is that purple hair

[@comicstorian]

yes lol, was a sub goal on our twitch

[@zaharefaat1479]

13:40 MY FEELINGS MY HEART DAMIAN

[@evolvingdare4552]

Green Arrow: "An evil version of the suicide squad... Uhh what's the difference?" I LOL'ed at this scene . And it was such an intense face off too but he just had to ruin the moment! 😂

[@cabfish8339]

Idk why but I am always early on comicstarian But I'm never early on anything else

[@betterlatethannever4529]

So,who thinks that in the final fight we'll see the Batfamily wearing all the best batarmors?

[@maadtee6281]

better late than never it would be great if the whole batfamily defeat the evil batmen

[@xKTtheGreatx]

I haven't been gritting my teeth in anticipation like this in quite a while Especially when Damien got shot

[@justrob9252]

I've never really seen Riddler as one who accepts help to make the perfect riddler because he would think he could do it himself because of his ego

[@hameedibrahim4749]

Harley breaks the forth wall

[@morfealesteban8333]

Robin: Father? Nightwing:, "No it's your brother...ruNNNNN"

[@BlackLotusFlame]

Big fan of the channel and I support all the content you upload, I even watch all the ads all the way through. #NoSkipSquad

[@JoshwinPurpleKaiser]

@8:43 Mr Freeze lookin like the Ice King from Game a Thrones

[@TheMapache19]

This story was so dope!!

[@WannabeWryter]

Harley Quinn broke the 4th wall, no one is mentioning this.

[@dillonyoung5502]

Yeah it was kind of stupid.

[@WannabeWryter]

@@dillonyoung5502 I like it.

[@FLMNG00]

so it is basically winter in gotham and the arrowhead is a dragon glass?? and if you look closely, the spikes on the batman who laugh's head ressembles that of the ice king on game of thrones. Jon snow basically is night wing.

[@jefjefg]

Thanks as always for the great video and all of these Metal storyline tie in's are so awesome. 👍😎

[@916marcos]

That was amazing! Thank you for doing it!

[@TheNinjaDC]

"DC Metal," never has a comic book title ever been so accurate and descriptive. 0.0

[@joesteele8167]

I got the teen titans tie in. One of the best stories ever(or part of a story).

[@jay_2322]

These stories r really good great job Ben u bring the comics to life

[@WinchesterxNL]

That new Harley outfit though... *Whistles* Not bad at all. Defenitly an improvement of that N52 outfit she had...

[@LunyMilky]

So far this was the best arch of this D.K. saga for me :'j Very freakn cool in all aspects; action, story and character wise x')

[@DevlinReign]

I love this man thank you so much for bringing this to us

[@Tenro100]

I think the batman who laughed is a batman who fell into the ace chemical vat instead of the joker

[@PlatinumRaid]

Angel V. He probably didn’t have the video out when he sent out the comment

[@Lord_Zaton]

8:43 most badass looking mr freeze ive seen

[@BigAntOnline]

Now my favorite comic series

[@damienlee54]

Thank you, Benny

[@marco39120]

"Aww nuts, now I got the feelingz" It's really hard not to love Harley sometimes.

[@rodhernandez3364]

Dammmn Dc dark metal is getting me hooked by each new comic.
