@@kratos6368 “Sensible and good story” when talking about The Batman Who Laughs? Sure, man. The Justice League could literally speed blitz Batman out of existence if they wanted to- how he lured every single one of them into the SAME place and then proceeded to murder them like mere child’s play is ridiculous. Flash and Wonder Woman should’ve already been overkill for him, but nah, Batman has contingency plans and can defeat anyone in the universe with enough prep time, right?

All of them were trained by batman and have a weakness for him. Even if they suspect, he's a father figure. Even to Red Hood. If Batman says he's ok, he's ok, seeing the most resilient man in the world get sacked would take them a second - and you have to factor in that while they are all capable, Batman is completely aware of this, and started with, "I need help". It's a powerful motivator. They likely all suspected but the answer here was kill Bruce, and they hesitated. They wanted to hesitate. If it was anyone else, ok, but not Batman himself. That buys them a moment's hesitation, and it's more than Batman would need. That's not even to speak of Joker's capabilities, Diego is right. That's just twisting the knife.

Eddie Murphy has a routine on the difference between white people and black people when it comes to horror.

Black people enter the house, the house says "GET OUT" and it's "too bad we can't stay" and they leave. Supes had no reason to suspect a trap but it took him a bit longer than it should to notice the carnage right in front of him. Should have been an instant OH SHIT and right back out the airlock to examine the situation from the outside. The sunlight would also have helped him fight the kryptonite.

Barbados was supposed to consume these universes before he disobeyed his function. THE Superman has been written far better in recent years than what it used to be like, especially in JL like man.... the stuff he does is amazing.

So it might not necessarily mean he knew how to escape it, especially since Barbados hadn't shown up yet and spilled existence secrets.

Plus without the nth metal cowl thing he has later on, he can't not naturally decay outside of the dark verse. If he had known his universe was either: dark or decaying he might've had some sense he would decay in the PZ.

Jason's silence could have been him analyzing the situation and preparing for any potential threats. It's possible that his experience as Robin and his heightened senses allowed him to react quickly in the face of danger.

What? I think you misinterpreted something. There's even a version of Lois Lane in this dark multiverse that killed all the heros on her earth. Some versions can be more or less capable than their main multiverse counterparts. Any scenario that comes from fear can and will happen in the dark multiverse of infinite universes of possibilities. This one had the right circumstances to cook up BWL. That's what I meant by rigged. Like if that Lois Lane tried kill the main earth heros she'd fail. If that Superman fought main Superman he'd fail. And if main Batman tries to take down main Superman it won't be that easy no matter who would win. Devastator did however beat main Superman in their first encounter, even had to be BFR'd by Flash and Fate. And without Kryptonite being involved, as so many villains have already tried anyways. Dev then proceeded to solo: Guardian, Firestorm, Wally West (pre-unmoored), Jessica Cruz (pre-Omega energy), Supergirl, a few more I forgot and even beat Lobo at his own style and threw him into the sun before stealing the Cosmic Tuning Fork. All of them he solod in one run were the main earth versions too. Devastator is one of my favorite characters and I'm so glad a Batman finally got pushed to the point where a Kryptonite spear or some gas, well, just won't cut it let's put it that way.

If it's Kryptonite gas? No lol.

[@gohan2791]

Krytonite in general is radioactive a normal person can't even touch that shit ( and don't say lex Luther cause lex luther isn't normal )

He’s Batman, they can just write in that he had a filter or is somehow immune, bc comics

[@humanity600]

@@gohan2791 well I guess that's now bull since several people in the comics have touched it...

[@jonassiendervils2102]

If you hold kryptonite for 1 minute or an hour you’ll be ok. But if you hold it for a long period, you’ll get cancer that’s what happened to idiot Lex.

Notice how Bruce is looking DOWN when he smiled before killing the Bat Family? He knew if Jason had seen him smile he would've been dead.

Both Batman and Superman are multiversal threats if they're not "good" anymore. What's scarier about Bats though is that ... 'he's only human' 😬😬

[@jsb6975.ah.crapbaskets]

Yeah, he doesn't really have a kryptonite of his own.

[@isildurmon3874]

This particular issue will also be very disturbing and sad to me. The League are always seen as more than united heroes, comrades, even family...and Clark seeing and hearing his brother demean him is heart breaking. Fucking shedded a couple of tears each time I come to these panels... Edit: it just hits deep for me on a personal level

[@LuffyBlack]

Nothing wrong with that brother, it's human to feel emotions.

This is actually pretty scary! Batman can’t do anything but wait for joker to take him over. Chills

[@CallumDowney]

Man the comic is really good but the eerie music to go alongs with it makes it even more horrifying. Think I had some chills going.
