[@snapdragon8144]

Hahaha. In "Robin War" storyline Tim Drake made a joke about being the only Robin who hasn't died. Welcome to the club Tim. Welcome to the Club.

[@iambeastboydude]

Snap Dragon He died in Injustice

[@d4nniedark0]

iambeastboydude But he never died in the main Universe

[@Mars_over_seer]

Red Hood:I'm going to steal Tims Corspe and get him to the Lazarus pit. Nightwing:That won't work. Tims dead. Red Hood: So was I and look at me. But where's his body. I tried digging his grave but he wasn't there Nightwing:(shows staff)

[@yoshirogames6270]

Coool

[@thezgamer3974]

I didn't choose the super hero life Batman chose it for me.

[@NightTimeZer]

😂

[@Smexie]

You followed it tho

[@brandontriplin5447]

TheZGamer I didn't chose the super hero life A magic green ring came and did it for me

[@thebird4077]

I didnt choose the superhero life.... A man in a green hood shot an arrow in my knee. The rest, well...

[@bs3715]

arrow joke? or Skyrim? xD

[@arie_chen]

Awww, I got kinda depressed when Tim died, but then you showed the ending, I'm now really excited for the next issue! haha

[@mechaissei530]

same here it's not nice messing with peoples feelings

[@dekalios4588]

he didn't die Mr oz as him

[@christienstephens768]

no I say it bitmite or someone from the fifth dimension.

[@jakecowen3046]

dude, just spoiled it... thanks a lot -_-

[@Geznoo]

+UMaDBrAh 123 don't read the comments before finishing the video

[@CosmicNerdStudios]

I LOVE the idea of clayface being a superhero

[@scottwhaley4585]

#metoo

[@lovepeoplehu9883]

Clayface reminds me of the Thing of Fantastic Four

[@theblueststar5316]

Why is clayface gud now

[@alechuffman5411]

I legit teared up when Red Robin died. It really got to me when Batman was holding Steph and it looked like he was crying too. HUGE sigh of relief when it turned out that Tim wasn't dead.

[@zacharykam2440]

ikr...feel exactly the same :)

[@mailyannickkrap]

same for me

[@thatsmugprick2794]

I wish they had revealed that later, it would have hit more if we thought that Tim was gonna be K.I.A for a long time rather than what they did here. It feels kind of tacked on too.

[@mailyannickkrap]

same for me

[@variares1114]

Alec Huffman I read your comment while watching the video... I don't think I should have

[@dariendelgado685]

That last scene with batman was heartbreaking. This is why batman is one of the most loved superheroes.

[@im_that_randomguy]

dam..... actually Tim got a fate worse than a hero's death..... imprisonment for eternity... or the next issue

[@brandontriplin5447]

Random Guy the next issues continuing an event called monster men

[@AceOfROMs]

I was crying during his death... And then I saw they faked us out. I really hate that about comics.

[@DJmasterdemi]

I too was shocked by his demise. It would have been much more meaningful if he stayed dead forever

[@Rylopero]

Right as we got the robin we know and love back? Heck no. Tim's actually going to have an important role now

[@zaimhilmi5463]

me too

[@PubertFTW]

Same.... Same.

[@buttAttack]

really? I was kinda rolling my eyes at the thought we might of got ANOTHER red hood

[@GhostHyperhex]

Maybe if I bat-glare at my phone, Comicstorian will say hello *batglares*

[@comicstorian]

Hello

[@DrDeath-zr1ww]

lmao

[@GhostHyperhex]

*turns around* heyy Comicst---- oh he vanished x.x

[@Loemio]

I've read Tim's "death" twice and even though we know straight away that it is not permanent, it gets me every time. Even now, I almost cried while watching this video ^^

[@CoomanX5]

I say it before and I'll say it again: GODDAMMIT, Matt Hardy and your goddamn Vanguard ones. Damn near deleted the poor guy.

[@J2K1985]

Deante320 DELETE DELETE DELETE!!!!

[@SomebodyPerfectly]

Matt Hardy was the only one that gained any followers last night xD

[@CoomanX5]

+SomebodyPerfectly lol true

[@batfreak1171]

Mr. Oz... Ozzymandias? maybe.

[@ViktorStClair]

It can only be him at this point

[@J2K1985]

Batfreak11 who is ozzymandias?

[@FlamingNinja]

Member of the Watchmen, watch the more recent film to get a basic explanation of him and Doctor Manhattan.

[@shadowwriter4538]

With the help of Doctor Manhattan

[@gabrielgonzalez3700]

thinking the same thing, but it's sounds to easy of a guess tho

[@davids1997]

the rebirth stories are so Damn good

[@YarugumaSou]

"WHERE ARE THEY?" - Batman, 2008 "WHERE AM I?" - Batman, 2016

[@levonpoe]

Love Tim Drake. Made me cry. I also commend you on your story recreation ability. I have seen the work of your competitors and you are by far the most entertaining. I actually become involved watching the pictures and listening to your voice. Sir, YOU ARE THE BEST!

[@TotalChaos95]

wait since when was Clayface a good guy when did that happen?

[@comicstorian]

Since this story lol

[@yoshanga2360]

Comicstorian 😂😂😂

[@TotalChaos95]

WTH?!! so they never mentioned anything about him being a good guy somewhere else?

[@comicstorian]

I mentioned the reasoning in this video, Batman felt Basil(His real name) deserved a chance for redemption finally. Plus he needed someone the Batmen werent tracking

[@TotalChaos95]

Oh Ok Thx

[@erica.zimmerman3456]

Wow this was the only comfort book that made me cry😢 and I had a feeling he wasn't dead😒

[@gabrijel9129]

I almost cried. I shit you not, I almost cried

[@bookman19966]

I almost did too

[@christienstephens768]

I did

[@bohubohu]

i dropped a couple when batman read tim's acceptance letter.

[@jvmh7966]

BiGA TheMan me too.

[@KerryMcSweeney]

I've been out of the loop for a while, Omg, I'm in tears. what a time to catch up.

[@Mars_over_seer]

Let me guess, Amanda Waller is creating Bat soldiers again?

[@Mars_over_seer]

I was close

[@thatsmugprick2794]

I honestly thought they were going to use the Arkham Knight persona. Kind of wish they did too, but it was a good story non the less.

[@BuckingBadger]

Arkham Knight and an army of Batmen and mercs (mercs from the Arkkam Knight and City) sounds cool just hope that someone other then Jason takes the Arkham Knight mantle

[@digunder14]

well clayface being in the bat family is a surprize

[@MrRayhonda]

Oh man this was fantastic! It was so sad for a bit too dang! Great video as usual ^^

[@ramratanpadhy7772]

Comicstorian: Entire Bat family Nightwing, Damien, Barbara: What is wrong with you

[@darknight101231]

WTF!? this is bigger than Superman now.

[@OmegaKingHyperionPX9]

good:)

[@DGenHero]

What?

[@FutonJohn]

This is my first time actually keeping up with the batman comics, is it usually this good!?

[@ALBAM96A]

That opening line is really great. I love it

[@bcheatum84]

I've never watched your videos but if they are as great as this I'm a fan! Thank you

[@elrosarkenhine788]

I think mr oz is ozymandias from the watchmen

[@SpectacleStudios84]

that explains the smiley face button batman found

[@marvelzukas]

exactly, and it's kinda obvious.

[@blacknappa9332]

Zicco Fernandes

[@Swollpool_]

wouldn't surprise me

[@erichenderson697]

possibly

[@chriswolf4822]

cheeky frank miller Dark knight returns poster at 7:32

[@chriswolf4822]

7:52*

[@edgy7542]

haha

[@senpaikenshi5709]

Chris Wolf 7:50*

[@Thomas-jz1di]

Chris Wolf I saw that, it was an awesome moment

[@Mars_over_seer]

Me:How did you manage to wake up after getting hit with so many darts? Cassie Cain:Because I'm Orphan.

[@devisaur3461]

love your videos man keep up the good work

[@PrinceDrazarian]

anyone crying? i cried.

[@zoltikrys]

Anyone else notice the picture of a cover of The Dark Knight Returns? I can't remember what the time was but it was after Batman escaped his cell thingy

[@zoroouth]

@comicstorian i love you man thank you so much for your hard work :D

[@jamalbisnauth4279]

Great job man. That was nothing short of awsum

[@bobf6721]

Well that's it, every Robin has died or appeared to have died at some point.

[@SAGEEDITZ24]

That's so sad Tim is my favorite Robin tho my boy u were such a G

[@rolandbalajadia1673]

I cried near the end. The narration was executed perfectly. keep it up man

[@yiayango]

This brought tears to my eyes.

[@leonich2o]

What the fuck honestly can we keep one robin alive please

[@SmileyKushKatt]

all Robins die at some point in the new 52 all the Robins have die dc has even said that Robin is fated to die ie all of them dying starting with Jason todd ( death in the family ret con) dick grayson ( forever evil) then damian Wayne ( the heretic and batman inc) and now Tim has supposedly died it's just a cycle

[@memelord0458]

the robin curse

[@gregorioguerrero1124]

They are all alive at this point

[@betweentimeandspaceo6727]

All of them are alive though.

[@joshuaalexisja]

If you want to find out who Mr. Oz is follow the yellow brick road

[@TheLatino2000]

Yoooooo this joint is intense!!! Great video !

[@headhunter3279]

this went from this is awsome to ima cry to a mystery and now i want more

[@SoapReject]

I almost cried 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@GuessWhatHappened1]

My Girl Cassandra putting in work. 😒 off panel

[@DetailComics]

Detective Comics is one of the standout performers of DC Rebirth. It went from a secondary title that I was considering picking up to a 'must buy' title that might even be better than the main Batman title. Great recap of the first arc!

[@YvngSunrise757]

I just wanna say thank you for doing what you do , you do a great job at 1 telling the story and 2 keeping me interested unlike comics explained I'd love to hear more flash going back in time or any thing dealing with the multiverse (jack kirby 4th world for example ) but other than that great job and keep it up I love it

[@bengates9722]

Mr oz is ozymandeus.

[@bengates9722]

Cos at the end me of Rebirth 1, Dr Manhattan and ozymandeus were on Mars.

[@MadMatth7]

Rorschach I don't think Ozy is on Mars with Manhattan. He's probably too busy gaining popularity and being praised by the people he "saved" (spoiler alert Watchmen). But we can all agree that Manhattan is probably Mr Oz

[@victorpleitez8867]

No they weren't, the scene cuts to Mars but the dialogue was taken from the end of watchmen, a call back the their last talks in oz's remote hideaway.

[@peterborak3256]

Man, they killed my favourite Robin... I mean he sacrificed himself and all, but why did DC treat him like shit for the past couple years? No good story arc, up until now. Hopefully he comes back to the "real" universe, not this alternate one. But overall this is an alright story so far

[@TevyaSmolka]

i think tim drake is going to come back soon because he is currently with mr oz

[@derekwst3-YGO]

I doubt it will be soon, but he will eventually,

[@death2able]

Watch the ending of this video.. he is alive.

[@peterborak3256]

Btw I have seen the end of this video, you just haven't read my full comment.

[@revan0890]

I saw an interview with the writer and he stated that Tim is the Robin he grew up reading and that he is his favorite Bat Family Member. So we will probably be seeing more of him soon.

[@brendondellinger355]

Holy crap, THAT WAS AWESOME! Love the art style!

[@thanglongnguyenvu3815]

so cool !!!!!! and the music in the background is on point

[@SAGEEDITZ24]

Hold on y'all better make tim come back

[@TheBohobemeister]

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim! Will...will he come back and fulfill his dream of going to colleage?

[@mattventura724]

He's technically not dead he's just in another reality.

[@TheBohobemeister]

+matt ventura I know he's not dead, but what if he never comes back?

[@CrazyDuckie94]

i enjoy listening to these i really do your readings are excellent but this one made me cry :(

[@someyung3014]

This is so good!!

[@JustSoji]

Has any teenager in college actually gone to college? I feel like when a teenager in comics gets accepted to college they die terrible death

[@nickkern4109]

Peter went to college, and ended up finally getting his PhD when Otto was in control. He didn't die, but some of the people around him did.

[@MarioUcomics]

Except Spider-man

[@Rylopero]

Are the League of Shadows seperate from Ra's al ghul's league? ALSO WTF??? TIMMY?? Y tho?

[@Rylopero]

Oh, whoops, didnt watch till the end

[@Zakaria-qy5sm]

are the seprate or not because i dotn get it ?

[@darylcorey4562]

The explanation to that is slightly complicated. From what I know Ra''s runs the League of Assassins in the comics. The League of Shadows is a name often given to Ra's group in other media like cartoons and movies due to not wanting to use the name Assassin for one reason or another. As far as comics continuity I am not sure there has been a seperate League of Shadows before now

[@demonking9657]

great video comicstorian.

[@JoeBrando_]

this is one of the best DC books in awhile and I can't wait for future story arc.

[@sharkfinbite]

comicstorian looks like fred flintstone. ;D I don't point this out to be mean. I just realized this and thought it was quite humerus to me haha

[@comicstorian]

I always thought i looked like Buzz Lightyear

[@mbiukimicheni9906]

I see it!

[@sharkfinbite]

Comicstorian I can see that too but you never wore an attire that covered your head like Buzz. I think that's why. Have a nice day. Continue the great work.

[@jennasblogs6569]

Fffffffffffff

[@DASBIGUN]

Mr.Oz = Dr. Manhatten??? @Comicstorian

[@Lycz]

Or "Oz"ymandias somehow survived, that's my guess. Dr. Manhattan wouldn't wear any clothing, I know it my sound silly, but if I remember correctly Doctor did not wear any clothing after his transformation as he understood they are meaningless in the great scope of the mystery of the universe.

[@budsteppin]

That's what I think the blue lightning is why I think this same shit as Jon osterman Mr oz osterman idk either him or Adrian veidt

[@slyfer60]

He didn't wear cloths because the source of his power is his giant blue wang.

[@DJmasterdemi]

Wow! I can't wait for the next one

[@thesmellycatjazz]

This is incredible

[@TheGTFan1]

So whatever happened with the Comedian's button showing up in the Bat Cave? I remember that happening in Batman's Rebirth, but don't think anything's happened with that since.

[@comicstorian]

Nothing has happened on it yet

[@cosmicgrub360]

do you have any idea when they will release the next part?

[@m.ma.l174]

hey benny can you do batman the deal comic

[@egrizly]

oh stuff is happening it's just really subtle.

[@theguardian3431]

Oh no, Bats probably slept with Steph after that. Dammit, Bruce!

[@Raylamence]

Comicstorian, I hate you for making me addicted to the comics and your awesome voice XD Please get the next upload for this chapter up soon, my next new favorite arc just like the injustice storyline

[@jorgeosama1784]

Great video love your channel 👍

[@Kike-ti8xr]

I think he might actually be Ozzymandyas from watchmen...maybe he's preparing an army of sorts or creating a set of chained events of sorts to face the actual individual who is behind the New 52...Dr. Manhattan

[@itzkingdingaling]

same

[@dariustwin]

Yeah, that's been established already.

[@Kike-ti8xr]

Yeah I know, but for a second it felt at the end of the video that Oz was being stablished as the one behind it hehe

[@yeetyeet8993]

Benny is it true injustice year 5 ended??

[@comicstorian]

yes, it was a pretty shitty ending but we're releasing the video this weekend

[@VaughnColeman]

This is why I love Tim Drake! He is the best Robin hands down in my eyes and even though he's been Red Robin I'll always envision him as Robin and I hope they give him back that mantle soon

[@iamjabby3688]

ive been there since your subscriber is less than 10k im proud of you bro your context are awesome!!!

[@SexyBurrito69]

Who is the figure with the black eyes? What was that all about? Also side note, comicstorian can you explain the friendship/relationship between guillotine and black panther? I know this isn't related to this comic (fucking amazing btw) but just something I've been wondering ever since I fully read the new contest of champions comics.

[@comicstorian]

No idea what it is, Guillotine was created for Contest of Champions and isnt in anything else yet

[@sionefonua7636]

what happend to Damien, batgirl, Alfred and red hood ?!?

[@comicstorian]

Different missions, each has their own book, well Alfred is in Batman.

[@GuessWhatHappened1]

Currently The Bat family "core" members are doing their own thing.

[@fastgun3121]

they don't need any more training

[@TevyaSmolka]

Comicstorian so question do you think Bruce Wayne aka batman batgirl aka Barbra Gordon nightwing aka dick Grayson Damian Wayne aka robin and the Titans going to help find Tim drake Alive and kicking

[@PhenomenalTeach11]

That was the best vid u have done yet

[@marcuswaye1906]

you always set the perfect tone for these kind of video's mann prop's!!

[@dekalios4588]

why not call the Justice league?

[@Minetime345]

whenever I see a comic book media why not call the justice league or why not call the avengers

[@fictionarch]

+Blue Pain Batman is a very proud and arrogant man he wouldn't ask the league for help unless he was absolutely sure he was powerless in a situation and even then he'd still probably hesitate before asking.

[@JoeBrando_]

then what's the point of solo books

[@59hawks]

because the league would be doing their own shit

[@KuribPlays]

I'm just going to assume most of these rebirth happen at the same time, so Superman white is with Wonderwoman beating up something with Lex. Flash is searching for w/e he is searching. Green Lantern as a whole still havent came back from another universe yet, other than hal jordan who didn't leave, but he is out in the space some where.

[@keremtopalismailoglu933]

Batmen lol misspelling

[@comicstorian]

Watch the vid, the Batmen are the villains

[@jontantan3871]

are you sure?

[@comicstorian]

That the Batmen are the villains? Thats the name of the story lol

[@jontantan3871]

if you were you replying to me I was actually replying to the other dude

[@keremtopalismailoglu933]

ı just read it bymyself now sorry your right

[@Krosect]

Seeing Tim get gunned down like that made me tear up a bit, then seeing Batman shake when he saw the letter made me tear up even more

[@eryanweaver292]

this was amazing

[@Talegolas]

OMFG i was actually crying, man this was a heavy one, hope it doesn't flop

[@Apollyon54]

I really like listening to you reading these comics

[@NeshVlogs]

Love ur vids Comicstorian!!!

[@docplanas]

Fantastic story ! Thank you guys for being there when my insomnia kicks in.

[@nizzynick9298]

keep it coming dood 👍

[@265caps]

7:53 that dark knight returns poster is beatiful

[@vegetasan348]

ever time a hero dies i cry comics are more than a book there a Beautiful piece of art

[@TheSuperWarrior64]

This almost made me cry almost

[@brianrebmann676]

great video very interesting

[@seyidana7209]

I'm so pumped

[@itsyourboyryy]

Whoa whoa whoa love these bat stories!

[@pjproductions8909]

best video yet!

[@MikeDeAngelisMook]

That was amazing.

[@codychestnut8480]

This was a really good episode

[@DicklessHipster]

@14:45 "He was just one day away from retirement..."

[@shouryasodhani3716]

Amazing story!!!

[@jakedavey9603]

This story arc legit made me nearly cry, god damn it Tim ya hero

[@OnionSavoya-jf5hz]

Detective Comics Rebirth was bad ass run on the book. It builds to an action packed climax it was easily one of Detective best eras

[@Patrick-it8nk]

Man, that really hit me at the Tim's "death" and Batman's realization that he was going to leave the crime fighting life.

[@ryandiaz1110]

This story was amazing!!!!
