Cool.

Can you look at The Origins of The Brain from Teen Titans/Doom Patrol🧠

[@matthew-jy5jp]

The coolest part about all of it is out of all those countries that your families have been through you're American. And I think that's a really perfect example of America. Out of many We Are One. God bless brother

[@markhenzel4637]

I keep saying that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League should have Failsafe so it make sense to end Arkham Batman with one on one with Failsafe.

[@recommendedforyou2936]

Please do a history of scorpion from spiderman

[@aaritmitra625]

I like how Zur-En-Arrh turned from alien batman to failsafe if Batman was compromised to what if batman was a psychopath

[@pickedceasar1216]

Yeah honestly as much as I enjoy the newer stories I wish someone would make an alt universe story of alien Zur-En-Arrh Batman We’ve only gotten like two versions of him

[@ericbreese3071]

What if? Batman IS a psychopath

[@mechmaster315]

Maybe if they contexualize the original Zur-En-Arrh in the comics let’s say Planet X was all a dream

[@kevsteron]

Dear Arris, You misread Zur-En-Arrh Batman's Batmobile. It was not automatic it was atomic. Instead of replacing the transmission with a clutchless transmission, Zur-En-Arrh Batman replaced the internal combustion engine with a nuclear reactor. This evolved the Batmobile into the Chernomobile (Chair-Nyo-Moe-Beel). 😆😆😆

[@megatronusorionpax4900]

Yeah thank you for pointing it out cause I wasn't sure if I was gonna comment on it but it was bothering me 😅

[@tonygoodwinjr9293]

Plus it was written on the screen in a comic bubble when he was saying that part lol

[@MoroccanRose85]

Thank you for this comment because I was just about to tell him it’s literally written on the screen that it’s Atomic.

[@balloonedraccoon2503]

I like the original story out of all of these. It's a wholesome and simple story, but it's effective.

[@cameramangordo]

Zur’s first appearance also happens in Batman Brave and the Bold. He’s voiced by Kevin Conroy, making it even better

[@mustang8206]

Not his first appearance

I got second hand embarrassment and had to check the comments to see if someone else caught it 😂😂😂

Yeah that was cringe 😬

[@a-bomb777]

I honestly prefer Zur from the 60s because at least he wasn't a lunatic

[@JakNasty69]

Yeah lol he was just a chill dude that liked Batman and wanted his help

[@joelconolly5574]

Batman creating a Failsafe Batman in his mind and now it's taken over Failsafe robot Batman and now it's going to failsafe the world. Classic.

[@ashleejones586]

“Ah, yes. Our gravity is no match for you and your EARTHIAN MUSCLES!” 😂

[@adekunletaiwo1342]

I honestly think the original version is really wholesome. The New take is really interesting though.

9:31 I love how Robin isn't even mad and just facepalms at how Batman it is to make contingencies to your contingencies, than erase the memory of how you made the second contingency so you can't use the first contingency on it.

I am wondering if a Zur-En-Arrh That Laughs will ever show up

Batman vs. his own contingency plan(s) is the most Batman thing ever.

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

"automatic engine?" You mean ATOMIC engine!

[@dabro1569]

You gotta love it. This is a writer’s true dedication to the craft. He wanted to stand out so badly that he found a one off, obscure piece of the mythos and revived it to make an entirely new take on the character that kicks ass on so many levels keeping the reader interested. 💪🏿🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥👍🏿

[@Newfoundspirit2-9]

Seeing batman smile in a comic book is almost shocking

[@strozombie.01]

9:23 The Zur-En-Arrh Robin suit looks sick! I hope that he gets a side-kick to wear it!

[@fslayer1290]

I literally got the figure two weeks ago because I’m enjoying Zur so much in the present Batman storyline. Batman R.I.P. was a flippin’ mess and I loved it! A crazy Bats goin’ around with a knife and a nail bat was nuts and a fun read. I’m really excited to see if Zur becomes a regular in the Bat fam, a regular enemy, or something else. 😆

I've always wondered why Adam West Batman would have a Zur-En-Arrh personality?

Gotta love the BvS Batman Theme playing in the background 🎉🎉🎉

I really like the concept of modern Zur, especially his appearance in “Batman: Unburied”

I need to collect everything from these recent issues.

[@prcastro42]

The fact that you were told you were 100% Puerto Rican cracks me up lol😂, know your history my dude lol I’m a proud Puerto Rican.

Batman is... batshit insane lol Yet somehow has it under control with equally insane levels of willpower. Amazing.

[@kevintyson1947]

I dont know how to feel about this. Feels likes another Dark Knights Metal with Batman going up against an army of darker batmen. Kind of tired of batman being so OP that his big enemies now has to be himself

One of your last videos, you guys said you had a lot of stuff going on and things are going to change hopefully the overall regular episodes don't change 'cause I like the history of episodes and the verses episodes and all the usual stuff and I miss the buy list. Hope you guys don't completely change the channel. I love listening to it it's one of my favorite channel. Keep up the good work.

Bold and brilliant set up. I hope they stick the landing.

[@herbthegreat5226]

The brave and the bold, did an episode like that. I wonder what if Superman and Batman went to the same planet would they have the same super powers, kind of.

[@zacharybosley1935]

I do like idea that Zur here functions as the basic idea that Batman isnt doing enough, that he should put criminals down for good, that he really should be judge, jury, and justice for Gotham.

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

How could you not mention where (current) Bruce came up with the name Zur-En-Arrh.. It's how he remembers hearing his fathers last words to him "They'd lock up Zorro in Arkham!"

[@Ronin_Vector]

I wonder what happens to Zur-En-Arrh when a version of Batman, like the One Who Laughs, losses their mind completely. Is there some kind of internal struggle or does the personality get eradicated completely?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would happen if we saw this version of Batman on the Big Screen or TV Shows?

[@Drifter1989]

Imagine if we got a Batfleck movie where it showed Bruce in a vulnerable state giving Zur control after Robin died but Superman is the reason why Bruce regained control after being inspired by his good human nature.

[@bricknfilms3132]

Imagine superman when he arrives In zur-en-harr planet

[@dryestomnivore1333]

Damn ya boi Arris with his DNA results gets the Pass lol

[@durellpowell3324]

He was clearly unhappy about that nigerian😂, that "thats cool" was weak, notice how he was excited by being Italian though

[@masternoob9673]

So this would actually imply that all batmen from all mediums, have a Zur En Arrh of they’re own. Even the ones that already seem like Zur En Arrh personality wise. Dayum! Imagine a Zur En Arrh Owlman

[@pacino16690]

What I want explained: if Zur Batman is okay with killing, why would he create Failsafe to trigger if regular Batman ever did kill?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?

[@NotoriousJay23]

its crazy that batmans greatest nemsis is litteraly himself(well besides joker)

[@joshuamogle8819]

How does Batman defeat Zur-Safe... by inviting the true Zur-En-Arrh (the scientist alien) from the alternate reality to deactivate Fail-safe for good...

[@ausome904]

The first take of Zahblahblah wasn't corny. I liked how the comparison to superman was made and him being from Krypton on earth was like Batman being from Earth on that planet. I thought it was an interesting way to explain his strength at the very least.

[@freedomguy55]

I think you could find a way to make the original Zur-En-Arrh work just think of the plot to Galaxy Quest.

[@joshy9124]

Im sorry Arris after what happened with 23andme I no longer do those DNA testing kits but learning about Batman’s alter ego was amazing. Thank you so much.

WOULD LOVE TO SEE A STORY WHERE INJUSTICE SUPERMAN RECRUITS ZUR-EN-ARRH BATMAN FOR A MISSION ..

[@thedarkknight7287]

I like the idea of Bruce having Superman's powers and I still have that issue in my collection. I would like them to have a DC animated movie where Zur-En-Arrh makes an appearance. How cool would that be.. The re-imagined Zur-En-Arhh Batman is alright, but the fact he is the psychopathic version of Batman really goes against the core of the Batman Character in my opinion. Batman was never psychotic and to portray him like that makes him no better than the Joker.

How is our technology more advanced than theirs when he literally teleported Batman from Earth to his planet which is so far away that we can’t acknowledge his planet and also he has a telescope in which he can stalk Batman.

[@MostlyPonies1]

Some writers have lost sight of who Batman is supposed to be. When Batman becomes so smart that he always has a plan for everything and also has the willpower to partition his mind, he's no longer a detective, he has superpowers.
