Kevin Conroy as Batman IS the most powerful ❤

[@Nutsuplier]

He means the character not actor

[@manolismarinakis8444]

​@@Nutsuplieryeah, he knows but... RIP Kevin Conroy, you are missed

[@brandonscott5544]

BATMAN WHO LAUGH AND FLASHPOINT BATMAN,

[@elijaharroyo4846]

Facts tho

[@Aragorn7884]

@@brandonscott5544 Batman Who Laughs is just overused at this point. He's S-Tier OP.

[@TeraQuad]

Hellbat Armour Batman Final Batsuit Batman Should have definitely been mentioned.

[@cityjudez]

That's just normal Bruce Wayne in a suit.

[@TeraQuad]

@cityjudez No it is not. It literally was Batman in the comics and he dawns on the suits. But, even it was not. Who is Batman?

[@dyldog8837]

The multiple vampire versions of Batman are all definitely some of his most powerful versions of all time.

[@Earth2Natalie]

Happy Batman day everyone!

[@Solocereal]

Same 🎉

[@88gschannel39]

The Batman Beyond Suit is one of the most underrated because it not only has super strength but super protection too. Bruce did not give the suit Superman level strength, but he did make the suit strong enough to take one of Superman's punches. There was one small missed power version of Batman that was in one of your previous videos: Dr. Fate helmet Batman

[@jimgilbert9984]

You forgot the Kal-El/Bruce Wayne version of Batman from Elseworlds, in which baby Kal-El isn't adopted by Martha and Jonathan Kent, he's adopted by Martha and Thomas Wayne. You got the two of the Black Lantern Batmen mixed up and mashed together. The first one you showed wasn't actually Batman, but more like a mannequin to tug on the hearts of the Justice League so Nekron could take control of them. The actual Black Lantern Batman appeared in the final battle with the forces of the Darkest Knight, and he pulled the greatest "Battrick" of his career. The Robin King cuts off the hand weilding Batman's Black Lantern ring, but that was a decoy. Batman pulls out the ring from its hiding place and uses it to raise his fallen comrades, as well as the deceased feral Robins that used to be under the command of the Robin King. Kickass time! There's another "elseworlds" Batman you left out of your list, but I understand your reason why: he's not one of the most "powerful" of the Batmen, but he's one of the most awesome. I'm talking about the Smallville Batman. His research skills, tactical brilliance, and technological wizardry are unsurpassed across the multiverse. With only a tiny amount of information available on the Smallville Clark, he was able to rig a special suit that emitted red solar radiation that allowed him to kick Superman's butt six ways from Sunday. Also, he was able to throw together a yellow sun radiation projector to repower and heal Superman. And in just a matter of a few hours, he was able to throw together armored suits for both himself and Superman. Your mention of Batman weilding Yellow Lantern rings does make those Batmen pretty impressive, but his will was overpowered by the rings. He had no choice when the rings came to him. What makes the Smallville Batman so damned impressive is that he overwhelmed the powerful Yellow Lantern ring that tried to recruit and force him to fight on the side of evil, and he did it in just a couple of seconds with typical Batman-style intimidation, all while piloting his jet. The ring came to him and boldly declares, "Bruce Wayne of Earth. You have the ability to harvest great..." Batman interrupts the ring, glares at it, and says, "Take a deeper look. Let it linger." The ring then says in a very small voice, "Harvesting protocols paused," and submits to Batman's will instead of the other way around. One of the most powerful weapons in the universe, and this Batman easily intimidates it into submission.

[@shainmathew4274]

Yes Elsworld : Batman Speeding Bullet Batman. He is so powerful and fearful..

[@Artezie]

Where did Batman hide the ring?

[@jimgilbert9984]

@@Artezie I think he hid it in his guts. The artwork wasn't real clear.

[@TheKirbyepicness]

What is Kal El Bruce Wayne from?

[@jimgilbert9984]

@@TheKirbyepicness It's from an Elseworlds story. Elseworlds came about in answer to the success Marvel had with their What If stories, but instead of taking one pivotal moment in the Marvel universe and extrapolating what would happen if things went in a different direction, DC went the different route of setting the Elseworlds stories in completely different settings: Kal-El found and raised by the Waynes, not the Kents, named Bruce (instead of Clark), and thus donning the cape and cowl of the Batman; Bruce Wayne as the hero in a DC version of "A Tale of Two Cities"; Kal in a pre-Camelot setting; instead of the World's Finest heroes being composed of Batman and Superman, they're an uber-paranoid Batgirl (it was Barbara's parents killed when James Gordon interrupted the fateful mugging to save the Waynes) and Supergirl (and there's also a Justice League notably different from the one we're used to); the just finished series that places our heroes in a magical, medieval setting, Dark Knights of Steel (wherein it was not just Kal-El who reached Earth, but also his parents, and there are three kingdoms on the brink of war - the Kingdom of the Els, the Amazons, and the Thunder Kingdom (ruled by Jefferson Pierce and his daughters), there are spies called Robins keeping an eye on things for Batman and more...); etc. Personally, I think the Elseworlds stories are better than the What If tales. And DC still sometimes comes up with new stories, like "The Nail" (with a surprise villain), "Another Nail" (with a surprise hero who is the only one who can defeat a multiversal threat), the above mentioned Dark Knights of Steel, etc.

[@TheAllHero]

Can you please do a video on Batman’s greatest detective feats like moments where his deduction skills are at its peak

[@rubyrubio3970]

Can you do the history of magneto, gambit, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen

[@romeyrome32]

Epic list. You covered everyone I was thinking about and a few I wasn't. The blackest night Batman crew are so damn powerful and the embodiments of fear. I had no idea about the Batman, wolverine version and that might be my favorite one. Off the charts fighting and tactical ability, intelligence, adamantium bones and claws and a incredible healing factor...how could you not like a fusion like that.

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?

[@sheriff2550]

I always wanted Terry to have escrima sticks like nightwing but make them retractable like the batarangs and electrified.

[@thegeekkid1]

Frank millers Batman is hands down my favorite older but more brutal.

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if we saw these alternate versions of Batman on the Big Screen or TV Shows?

[@YudazOwn]

If that happened then we'd see them.

[@JJUniverseChannel]

Awesome video man 😎!

[@theeric]

Batman in the Moebius chair was just awesome. He had knowledge of the entire universe maybe even the multiverse at his fingertips.

[@SUPERMAN-pt8iv]

I Miss Batman Who Laughs very much...The Darkest knight.❤❤

[@TheSkeetx]

Just like Flashpoint. It be crazy if they made a comic where they save Bruce family. So batman never came to happen. How would the justice league be without a batman

[@OptimusMaximusNero]

The Darkest Knight: "I AM UNVINCIBLE!!!" Superboy-Prime: "Hold my angry fanboy tantrums..."

Batman as darkseid would be terrifying

TLDR: Batman as Batman is the most OP Batman version of Batman. Yw

[@jesuslovesu4714]

Does anyone know if they are going to reboot or continue Batman Beyond? He was my personal favorite.

[@jammbbs1688]

The best cross over to make a mix of with batman would be batman/spawn

[@spike3984]

Adam west batman, has a utility belt with.... everything in it

They’re all dangerous. The man literally created an alter for his own alter as per the comic

Batman-hattan was my favorite!

[@kingshadow8782]

[@KrazyKryptonian]

Good list! What about Batman Kal-El though from the Superman: Speedings Bullets Elseworlds?

[@professoreinstein6]

Imagine if young Bruce was chosen by the wizard SHAZAM after this parents died instead of Billy yrs later. I wonder if he'd be the Black Adam of Gotham or the Supes of the city?

[@drb996]

The Batman in the thinker chair is still my Facebook profile picture 😂 ❤

[@phillipwalters7702]

Some of these choices are absolutely wonderful and some of them are a bit strange, but what are we supposed to expect for a list for Batman Day. Although, I don't see why The Batman from DC Elseworld Speeding Bullet didn't make the list.

[@steffendreitausend3856]

Watching this video was giving me a peaceful sleep 😊

[@handleishandlebar]

I could have sworn thirn already happened. BUT this is still lit

[@jmkenola]

How about Speeding Bullets Batman?

Explain how Lego Batman Movie Batman and Adam West are not on this list

[@justintyme4690]

Out smart everyone except dr Manhattan. The mobius chair just makes him AS smart as him

Isn’t there a new batman android that you went over not too long ago that is the unhinged version of batman with no limitations that knows how to take down the whole justice league?

[@gennysenpai9109]

It is an android Batman made as a contingency plan for himself

[@user-jb7ru4nb8b]

Need a video on Iron Monger (Obadiah Stane), Yellow Jacket 🐝 (Darren Cross), Ghost 👻, Malekith ‘The Accursed’, Ronan ‘The Accuser’, WhipLash (Ivan Vanko), Soldier Supreme, Ultimate Thor, Iron Hammer 🔨 Iron Man 👨, Goliath HawkEye and Worthy Black Widow!!!

[@normanortiz5208]

[@gmoney4980]

I dunno.. I called that fushion "Super-Bat-Lantern"

[@skb2108]

[@MrDeadbroke26]

You didn't mention the Batman from DC Online.

[@yuriricafrente6826]

latest dark knights of steel issue next please

[@user-jb2up1yd8y]

Batman Beyond is my pick. Sure there are more powerful versions but a power suit gives him abilities but he's still street level-ish

[@terranceodoms7623]

Batman 84 years🎉

[@Lukey111]

Imo number 1 most poweful will always be the batman empowered by the world forger

[@Solid_Bocchi]

Man do i love batman les go

[@haroldalan7080]

Mt favorite versions of Batman are Batman flashpoint version where almost every Justice league member is evil in a post apocalyptic future where Reverse flash caused the world to collapse and the Flash and Flashpoint batman had to stop him⚡⚡.

[@maggmaxxx]

Clooney Nipple Batman is undefeated! He survived a 💩of a movie to make a cameo as a replacement to Ben BATffleck! NIPPLE BAT WINS!!

Vampire Batman was also Cool

[@wolverine563]

Happy batman day🎉

[@haroldalan7080]

There are other versions of Batman that where villainous like Dawn breaker batman, another Green lantern version of Batman that was darker and scarier than most versions of him equiped with a Green power battery and a lantern ring similar to Hal jordan🦇🦇.

[@timyan7783]

What about Batman WITH prep time

[@throneless_pharaoh]

I thought Batman in the White and Gold suit (Justice League #24) is the most powerful version

[@Solocereal]

Happy batman day 🎉

[@DannysLifeChange]

White Lantern Batman

[@mechmaster315]

9:07 wrong title

[@racheljackson4428]

Arris has the perfect opportunity to explain why he thinks BATMAN KILLS AND NEGLECTS THE NO KILL RULE! instead we got THIS?!

[@wickedgames8768]

Batman beyond is my favorite

[@MegaDAli95]

I love how we all recognize that any version of Batman with even the most basic powers or with just no restraint is immediately OP 😂

[@12thMandalorian]

We need a good video game with The Batman Who Laughs as the main villain

[@quentinfogger5755]

So when are you going to do history of DC Despero since he is one of the biggest Justice League Villians from the Comics?

[@galactus2k383]

wow

[@Viet_tran97]

Unalive…? @1:46

[@unchartedrocks1]

Spawn & Batman should merge.

[@crayveonmiller3909]

I still think the darkest knight is is strongest version, bro was throwing planets and galaxies around like rocks

[@Marx1684]

Azrael should be a bigger threat in DC. Venom level for Batman with the impact he made. He would be an excellent threat for Red Hood.

[@asutoshgantayat]

Superman Batman from the animated series is one of the strongest

[@MarkTUsman96090]

For me the most powerful versions of Batman are The darkest knight White Lantern Batman then Mobius Chair Batman and DC Prime one million Batman

[@JADE-vc3dt]

Honestly I'll say powerful versions of Batman 🦇 will Darkest knight which could be overall power evn more than Batmite and Mxy Then Mobius chair 💺 Batman 🦇 White lantern Batman 🦇 Dark Father Batman 🦇 which is just Darkseid Batman 🦇 with the HellBat Batman 🦇 with the final Bat suit Then I don't know if we have a vampire 🦇 Batman 🦇 would have been More awesome as it's gonna blend wit his powers very much Including Black 🖤 lantern Batman 🦇 Doomsday Batman 🦇 Speed Force Batman 🦇 Aqua woman Batwoman 🦇 Hybrid Batman 🦇 and Superman Else's world Batman 🦇 adopted by The Els All this are the most powerful in my opinion 🙂🙂✌️
