[@ryanoseguera1207]

Who else is happy that Matt Ryan is back voicing Constantine!!!!

[@Zonalsteve]

They need to bring back the show! Constantine is the boss!

[@AbsoluteAbsurd]

@Jennifer Taylor damn lol

[@marcusblixenkrone-mller7169]

John Constantine = The best and most complex comicbook character ever

[@robinisomaa]

Tell me about it. It was Hellblazer that got me into reading comics.

[@johnfoody5713]

That's a weird way to spell Arm-Fall-Off-Boy.

[@nickthagoat1963]

John Foody I think you mean color boy

[@He-who-wakes]

Nick_ 0392 matter eatter lad is clearly the best character to ever exist

[@rcct44444]

Marcus Blixenkrone-Møller I've always loved him the movie was ok but it wasn't the Constantine we know he was a bit too bruting

[@rapidfiresniping]

I wish DC would have done this instead of Suicide Squad.

[@word8512]

bencarter agreed

bencarter No way. are you nuts??

[@heroman5887]

bencarter weird o

[@thearrow4203]

Well they are doing both, i mean im not sure if JLD is part of the universe but there doing it.

[@infinityalbi3857]

bencarter high five dude!

[@TheDistantman]

we gotta get a history of Etrigan on here. he's awesome

[@junntan1846]

Dc blackheart or hellstrom

[@simei1]

Junn Tan

[@newsday85]

Well today 3 years later you get your wish

[@Auro-bs8tt]

Well now we do, brother ^_^

[@bhavitdave1711]

@@Auro-bs8tt yeah but 3 years later

[@steverambo4692]

Sooo anyone else thinking dc should've saved enchantress to be the villian in justice leauge dark instead of suicide squad?

[@Sc0rpJoe]

Maybe that was just meant to raise interest in the character. They can alway bring back people, just like Superman. Someone as powerfull as Enchantress probably could come back.

[@ahmadbrock1559]

I would like Trigan to be the villain in the JLD movie.

[@Thisguy38]

Jonah Steinfeld sure she could come back but due to the way she was portrayed in suicide squad no one will want her back

[@theminotaur8015]

Or both.

[@7taildragon]

Damn! DC really have some cool characters.

[@NoorNabiLakho2020]

Oh you have no idea how cool dc is.

[@amahlgrant]

@Enhanced Potato While Marvel just recycles their storyline. The only major change is the way Marvel does their storylines is WandaVision. Other that that they barely have any variety going on.

[@tievdelarboulas3757]

we need a "real"(not animated) movie J.L.D with Matt Ryan as Constantine :D with the first story as first movie ^^

[@roberttaylor8507]

I approve this message

[@thegameshowguy1]

Tiev Delarboulas Well, he's already on the TV show version of the character, so I doubt it will be Matt Ryan playing the chain-smoking occultist on the big screen.

[@thegameshowguy1]

No, the British actor. Search up "Matt Ryan actor". You'll see who I am referring to.

[@papagrande7448]

Matt Ryan as Constantine Jessica brown Findlay as zatanna A bald guy as Deadman etc.

[@martyparty7086]

Ven Desile as Deadman

[@TheSnolana]

Matt Ryan is Constantine. Nobody can tell me otherwise.

[@nathannapier229]

Never watched the show so I don't care if it's not him.

[@kaijucifer3544]

The Atlanta Quarterback?

[@DiegoMartinez-ur7gi]

Snolana forget Keanu reaves

[@LiquidSnake1988]

Snolana jhon "wick" constantine

[@DiegoMartinez-ur7gi]

LIQUID SNAKE NO

[@ericwester3016]

can you do a history of Darkseid. you're good enough, you're smart enough and doggone it people like you

[@joshualeon3223]

*Darkseid needs his own comic already or at least a decent sized one-off. Tony S. Daniel (or Jim Lee) and Geoff Johns need to make it.*

[@20DollarGoldPiece]

they need to do the Jack Kirby version, not the new 52 version

[@SuperShanko]

They need one showing the usual day to day nonsense he's up to when he's not invading Earth and/or a comical one with HQ where he happens to be on Earth proclaiming a new chair.

[@the_well-known_stranger2275]

MK ULTRA SOLDIER II the new 52 looks cooler and is way more powerful!

[@20DollarGoldPiece]

C-Bat 1612 yh but there is no depth to his character. He just seems like a regular villain who wants to conquer the universe.

[@johnthicc]

really sad that dr fate has never been part of the team :'( he's one of the coolest sorcerers in comic history imo

[@ikgriot722]

I'm a Kenyan, watching this in Nairobi, and LOVE comics bra, thanks Variant!!!! Arris, you're a rock star! So is the whole Variant team!!!!! One Love

[@patbrady3738]

I need a history of dead man

[@Sanjipika]

Pat Brady especially since he got his own comic now huh?

[@patbrady3738]

xJOHNAXLx yup

[@jet-g4458]

Pat Brady want! Need! HAVE!

[@rolyngeorges7315]

Pat Brady Same here.

[@calebmayfield3326]

+Zach Kabia History of Mr.Terrific

[@graystorm1982]

So it was actually Madame Xanadu that formed the JLD? Then why do people keep saying that Batman formed them? That makes his inclusion in the animated movie as a main character make even less sense.

[@theminotaur8015]

No. It was Batman that first had the realization that a team like JLD was needed, after he watched Superman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg get scraped up by Enchantress.

[@youtubesucks1821]

It makes perfect sense. He's their most profitable character and God forbid they release a movie without him. It might sell 100 less copies.

[@whatthewhatthe9117]

I’m a bit surprised dr fate, one of the strongest magicians in the dc canon isn’t in a group comprised mostly of supernatural people including other magicians

[@johnfoody5713]

Swamp Thing is my favorite comic book character.

[@dominiquejones3805]

The Show was dope wish it wasn't canceled

[@Blackwing2040]

Etrigan is one of my favorite supernatural characters in DC

[@vladtheimpaler9577]

I love John Constantine so much.I was really sad to see the tv show canceled for no reason after just one season,but I heared they are planing to bring it back in 2017.

[@multiplatinum400]

Who's excited for the JLD movie?

[@babywolf4238]

I'm not really enthusiastic considering, how the DCEU turned out and the fact that Guillermo del Toro stepped down from directing.

[@rogueguardian]

I am a marvel fan here to troll you, ha ha😄😄, kidding but seriously I'm about 50/50 considering the DCEU still needs improve

[@steverambo4692]

I can already hear it "ugh ugh. dc is ripping off Dr strange ugh"

[@babywolf4238]

+Ryan Gomez When has anyone ever said that? And when has anyone ever accused DC of ripping off Marvel, the only thing that comes close would be GotG to SS and even then they're different movies.

[@swapnasaritnayak2569]

it's funny coz dr.strange is ripped from dr.fate.

[@PsychologyStud]

Several KZbinrs has had that problem. I think one KZbinr said that when you are subscribed to multiple channels, your KZbin account filters out updates so you only see what KZbin thinks you are most likely to watch.

[@M.W.K6996]

The Top 10 Most Powerful Villains In DC.

[@msarna3477]

do a history of the titans or zatanna or black canary or miss martian or teen titans or the justice society

[@maxo6383]

5 YEARS!!! NOT A LONG TIME!!! Wow, this came out when I was six, and that was a long time.

[@MemoVa10]

Sweet a dc video on my birthday

[@MemoVa10]

VariantComics Thanks! I will

[@jbarnard2000]

Black cat , poison ivy , the hellfire club or the blue lantern core next !

[@annekrofta5383]

Does anyone know if Matt Ryan will voice John Constantine in the animated Justice League Dark movie? I watched Constantine and I thought he did an good job.

[@xdiamonddogx]

Anne Krofta Yes he is.

[@annekrofta5383]

+Horacio Trujillo Jr , thank you.

[@Spiderpichi2099]

Get well soon Arris. You really sound sick.

[@Spiderpichi2099]

***** Yeah they really do and it's that time of the year too.

[@iza3479]

Josh Ruth would hurt to keep away from the donuts and cheeseburgers for a day or two

[@ravager0292]

i missed about 13 videos so now i check every other day to see if there are any new videos

[@MateusDrake]

I'd also recommend reading I, Vampire (N52). And Constantine solo series (if you're fond of this "Teen" version of the character). (Although both DC You's Constantine: Hellblazer and Rebirth's Hellblazer are way better titles)

[@devilpupbear09]

Constantine : how do I get from here to there? Madam Zanadu: How did you become an occultist? Constantine : study & practice, years of it

[@Ironlungs1980]

Ravens helmet reminds me of the guy in the berzerk cartoon. The guy who becomes a devil and sacrifices all his men to become one of the evil entities. Its Griff dam took me a min. Lol and guts.

[@PixelatedH2O]

That story synopsis for the beginning of the JLD series sounds like a mix of BvS, Justice League, and the Suicide Squad movies.

[@liamkinnaird8229]

I can't thank you enough man. You really got me into comics

[@dailynewsgrind6116]

it would be could to make this comic have mature storylines & if the art was a blend of real pictures, with elements of canvas paint & some metallic colors mixed in & also some holographic elements in the art. It be cool also to hide demonic & angelic faces all through the comic pages. & To find out where all the faces are in each comic edition a person would have to visit the comic's website. it be cool also to have even more hidden elements like being able to fold pages in half or fold the corners ect. AND HIDDEN IMAGES OR WORDS CONNECT TO REVEAL MESSAGES! it be also cool if in a special edition version was designed reversed so you could only read it by using a mirror! another hidden thing I WOULD IMPLEMENT WOULD BE hidden strips in some pages where you hold it up to the light to see stuff. Like we do with USA dollar bills. Maybe also images or sentences made by adding slightly noticable bumps on the paper of a page like braille. Many creative things could be done with this comic book. MATURE GREAT WRITTING WITH FUN STUFF LIKE THIS is cool for a nice profitable selling point. Monthly or maybe even bi-weekly? AS YOU CAN GUESS I HAVE HIGH HOPES COMIC COMPANIES COULD ONE DAY BE MORE CREATIVE & MAKE GOOD MONEY TOO. A WIN, WIN FOR ALL. :^)

[@arx3516]

I still can-t wrap my mind around the idea of Constantine working along superheroes...

[@dshaw46ds]

this makes me wanna read the comics now!

[@ZmSUPRA]

Holy, Raven looks incredibly dope in this series

[@danny_decheeto8300]

Bruh a Justice League Dark live action movie would have been absolutely awesome

[@Bingbongles9million]

Etrigan was part of the JLD in the future end one shot

[@PCJ95]

Madame Xanadu gathering Zatanna, Deadman, Constantine, Shade, and Mindwarp to deal with The Enchantress, a problem she herself was responsible for creating, with the intention of having them deal with several other mystical threats later on? That's basically the plot of Suicide Squad but with Amanda Waller gathering Deadshot, Harley Quinn, etc. instead. God damn it WB! Throw in some quick cameos from or references to Raven, Zauriel, Frankenstein's Monster, Phantom Stranger, Pandora, Swamp Thing, and Etrigan and you've got a much better movie than Suicide Squad.

[@itsjuanderful]

I am JUST watching this and I think this would be a great addition to the CW line up, with all their success with there DC shows & bigger budget JMO!

[@tommaso6270]

My favourite from the JLD is JOHN CONSTANTINE 🚬🍺📿. This was a good comic!

[@bmvthemoviefanatic7282]

YES! FINALLY! Thanks Arris. This is very interesting.

[@foolslayer9416]

Doctor Fate should be a member of this team. That would be dope.

[@corneliusfarrell8673]

I was thinking the samething wonder why he’s not in it

[@supermarshall2.053]

History of Black Cat, Dick Grayson (I know you did a history of Robins episode a few years ago but I want this episode to be solely focused on Dick), and Tommy Oliver (basically all his appearances in the PR show). A top 5 list of comic couples you want to see episode.

[@rigopeligro]

Shade the changing man has an amazing story written by Milligan. The early issues of jld were the definitive ending to miligans 70 issue run on shade the changing man. I highly recommend. One of the best stories that no one has read.

[@bengates9722]

AAAAGh I'm so annoyed! I don't have Twitter. Im gonna get it

[@devilmaycry09dante]

I see what you did there Arris

[@golgomethlayceon2594]

Rorschach that's the one thing I hate about the give aways I refuse to make a fb or Twitter and that's the only way to win it sucks

[@Belmont-sw4bu]

Rorschach hey aren't you dead?

[@djtru6199]

Variant be like all you have to do to enter our contest. Save the earth, while eating cereal, cereal has to be captain crunch, owe and on the cereal it has to have a link to this video on it -_-

[@idonttv1174]

You should really do a History of Doctor Fate. It'd be amazing.

[@isaacsilva8045]

Swaamp Thiiiing. One of my favorites

[@wonderlandstudios2669]

That would make sense for the new movie. I thought it was about the JL becoming dark Thanks for clearing up

[@AGeniusDexter]

Awesome, having read the comics, feels good to do a revision ;)

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

I always thought the New 52 Raven mask/helmet looked like something a Cenobite from "Hellraiser" would wear. :) I actually have vol 1 of the series but haven't had the spare cash to get the other five. Some day I will.

[@tribal8684]

Like the new starting with the joker laughing.

[@xaviermurdock-montgomery1852]

History of the Gentleman Ghost, you know you want to.

[@kni1524]

History on Deadman plz 🙏🏾

[@kinrob1]

I always look forward to your videos.

[@zacharyshivers5017]

Deadman is easily my favorite character in the justice league dark comics. I love to see a history of Deadman and Swamp Thing if u could

[@Phoenixastro]

Would have been better to tie in to the JLA spin-off JLD version from before "52" (led by Manchester Black) and a nod to Seven Soldiers of Victory that no doubt helped inspire this run. A lot of history ignored to imply that Swamp Thing 49/50 inspired this run without mentioning those two much more recent similar groups.

[@matthinton19]

The punisher tshirt is by far the coolest prize :D

[@hatihrovitnisson6269]

I'm waiting for a video on The Darkness. I would love it if there was an HBO show like how Spawn had.

[@youtubesucks1821]

The games were really cool

[@thaisbenicio7426]

Tim Hunter is part of the team??? The one from Gaiman's Books of Magic?? o.O I love that series!

[@wugglesx]

Yeah being an acrobat is a pretty cool power for deadman.

[@_zaldivar2590]

History of The Midnight Sons would be a good follow-up to this.

[@JL-VA]

Deadman is so kickass

[@jetnight88]

You have missed out Princess Amethyst who was a member of JLDark too 💜

[@donpula6349]

Thats true she's another member of the JLD. Especially Swamp Thing, Man Bat & Det. Chimp.

[@jnoonhmoodyJNFR]

Have anyone told you that you look like Louis from suits ? 😂

[@robertouttamyndx4400]

This would be a killer live action movie. I would base the House Of Mystery in New Orleans LA.

[@rushmaverick1923]

I'm surprised that Dr. Fate was never a member of Justice League Dark.

[@To_clean624]

Stephan king should write a Jld comic

[@TheDARKNESS8030]

I love to see you do a video on the i, vampire series. it was a awesome run one of my favorite books out of new 52

[@galbert117]

So what's the story behind the Issue 40 cover? The one where Constantine is standing amongst the other members on the ground & it says "Last Man Standing"?

[@superlukey3]

Okay, putting this series on my future reading list, next to XO Manowar.

[@ebonymaw8457]

Captain Marvel is crazy. Also, thanks for the info! I gotta go check out that JLD trailer now.

[@wick3dwarthog]

It would be really nice if you would include links to anything and everything you mention in each video in the description like the JLD animated trailer. Not that I can't google it, its just a nice place to include all the related links.

[@michaelgonsalves884]

NO WAY, I JUST BOUGHT SOME SURGE YESTERDAY!!!! THE 90s CALLED AND THEY WANT THERE FAVORITE CITRUS FLAVORED SODA BACK!!!!!!!

[@FRISHR]

Shade the changing man's symbol almost looks like Branianc's

[@rangi2cozy789]

Arris can you please do a sentry vs superman video??plzzzzzz

[@davidcdun8896]

too bad the Constantine TV serie stopped airing. They could have built something great from it

[@Yakamozari]

dead man is just truly awseome

[@jonathanwalker4937]

sorry about your head cold Arris. Recommendation: History the Specter

[@Basheerrko]

do a top 10 weapons in comic book arris that will be amazing arris please

[@JohnDoe-rw5dx]

I've been waiting for this

[@DanteYewToob]

Mentioning Swamp Thing got me thinking, could you do a Swamp Thing vs Groot video, or someone direct me toward one if it exists? Thanks, this was a great video. I always see JLD in the comic store but haven't read any, I might look into it now.

[@iamRayRagin]

Whenever you get the chance, can you the a "History of the Runaways", please?

[@dutchvonrichardson]

I want to see The House of Mystery vs. Dani The Street

[@rosslikethestore9427]

Do a History of Question Episode

[@FRISHR]

Guillermo del Toro better make a Justice League Dark movie!

[@brothernero3481]

Two I want and must see. The history of Jason Blood and Swamp Thing

[@sammorgan9061]

[@MarcYuMusic]

Sam and Dean Winchester should join Justice League Dark

[@Elduque40]

lol... was thinking the notification issue was coming from my side

[@Alexfprz]

I'm very surprised that Dr. Fate is not a member of JLA Dark.

[@jpmccarthy33]

There was a Blue Devil with a team up as well. 80s

[@highlander723]

1:50 video finally starts.

[@joking1918]

dude I love this team so much

[@alexrivera2104]

etragan was also in the Flashpoint paradox movie

[@cherrybiscottitouille3753]

I personally don't read comics, but I'm subscribed to channels like this just to hear about the cool and crazy shit comic writers come up with.

[@vaporsaver]

With how the comics industry is struggling, that's honestly pretty lame...

[@lukasszalbot1636]

Can you do a history of Darkseid and history of Batman Beyond. Also, alternate versions of Justice League.

[@superlol178]

It is almost Halloween...I want to know more about Scarecrow...

[@Thundertaker40K]

Please do a video on the Creeper! He's one of my favorites!
