You can not save yourself, he came to save us from eternal suffering.

He can grant a peace and joy unfelt, and be your closest friend always there, This is the gospel Jesus Christ, son of God, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. After he went to his tweleve disciples and many others before ascending into heaven eternally triumphant over all his enemies and making it so that there is now no condemnation for sin to all those who believe in him , but only everlasting joy.

Batman prep time is so strong the mutiverse had to create evil batman just to challenge the normal batman

[@juspeace907]

If he didn't have that unrealistic prep time, he'd be dead a long time ago

[@rolandjohnson7205]

You and you clown DC fans are so delusional it’s hilarious you all truly believe the stupid stuff you just said

[@ScottAT]

Listen, I served in US Army Special Operations Command for half of my career. Prep Time is extremely- critically important. Picture this in your mind - Mercenaries in a compound, at 2 am, most sleeping but one on guard duty. Suddenly, a flight of 6 blackhawks are over the compound, men in black fast roping with miniguns BRRRRRGGGRRRR! Blazing fire support, within less than 1 minute 70elite soldiers are on the ground, within the compound kicking open doors, throwing grenades in and burst in after they have gone off…. Within minutes.. the compound is clear. 30 mercenaries surrendered and 25 dead. Prep Time is very very important.

[@chriskraucunas8720]

​@@juspeace907 prep time is always significantly enhanced when there is already a high level of general preparedness in place. It's like making your own luck.

[@LeeRaySmith]

This NEEDS to be animated. AS SOON as this is all done.

[@zapheengaming9318]

I agree. This story would be the best animated movie in a while.

[@Lucas-wh3og]

would be amazing but dc don’t usually animate crisis events 💔

[@LeeRaySmith]

@@Lucas-wh3og let a aging man dream bro 😭

[@pickedceasar1216]

Nah it would be a convoluted mess unless they get the right person and I don't see that happening

[@epis8613]

I think Metal is already done. There was stuff after that but probably only the original arc and these origins are good enough to animate.

[@henros4188]

My favorite Dark Batmen has to be Devastator and The Batman Who Frags they’re such a cool and badass concept, I hope to see more of them and everyone else.

[@jermopp]

The robin king is so crazy

[@Alejandroigarabide]

"Sylvester Kyle"? Sylvester? Like the cat? Clever.

[@chidieberenwadike4165]

TBWL, Red Death, and Grim Knight are my favorite evil batman

[@ebiL3288]

I got chills watching this. I hope one day there would be an animated or live action adaptation of Dark Nights Metal. Some day.

[@michaeliv284]

All I get is "Edgelord, edgelord, everyone an edgelord"

[@hughjaenus2235]

@@michaeliv284 Since when was Batman not an edgelord? "Muh parents are dead, i don't like fun, i like darkness, i am Batmaaaan"

[@faeyzaihsanulfikri9975]

I doubt it considering dc current record

[@Enter_Zoneless]

Yeah highly deserved issue to cover, and would be top tier with a right team

[@randomhank]

Disturbing yet awesome can be summed up in one word: METAL!!!!! Also, how awesome would it have been to hear Kevin Conroy voice the Dark Knights

[@U7OrionSS4UI]

My Top 5 Favorite Evil Batmen From The Dark Multiverse: 1. The Murder Machine 2. The Devastator 3. The Grim Knight 4. The Red Death 5. The Merciless

[@SJMS.x0930]

I still think Owlman is the cooler evil Batman variant

[@mdstevens0612]

Owlman is the GOAT. Most of these other Batmen are just gimmicks. TBWL? He's more Joker than Batman. Lobos Batman? An evil dude who looks like Batman and Lobos. Darkseid Batman? Darkseid wearing a bat sigil. Red Death? Practically just reverse Flash. Owlman gave you that same experience of watching what Bruce could have become. Not because of Joker toxins, not because he snapped one day and chained The Flash to his Batmobile, a simple question of what if Bruce let his parents death turn him into a nihilist. The same reason why we love The Dark Knight, Dent is who Bruce could have been if he went to law school instead. That's why the Death Metal series kinda falls flat. It tries to hard to be edgy without asking some tough questions.

[@gabbpolicarpio1236]

Owlman is NOT a Batman variant, nor will he ever be. He's actually Bruce's brother from another Earth who, unlike his Earth-0 counterpart, survived. Now don't even get me started on E3 Alfred!

[@keepiton2carson]

you know it’s a great night when variant comic posts batman content… let alone anything !!! love from florida me and my family love your videos bro

[@Ed.Arthur]

Love watching Rob's livestreams. Fascinating dude and cool stuff. Whatnot is addictive

[@sirnice-guy4438]

TBWL,Grim Knight, and The Devastator are my favorite Dark versions of Bruce Wayne

[@0LLy796]

"with blackest night, I choke the light No brightest day shall escape my sight I TURN THE DAWN TO MIDNIGHT..."

[@Nobody-eh3hu]

I really like these longer videos because i just long videos but i feel you guys are the best for it cause you guys are good at making entertaining videos

[@Nobody-eh3hu]

You guys are the KZbinrs I always wished would make longer videos

2016-2021 the era of evil Batmen

[@aprameyanravichandran6032]

You guys have extremely fun videos. Keep going at it

[@xavierterrelong9385]

My favorite dark knights the Red death murder machine and drowned I love the origin stories and their character designs are quite badass

[@SuperSam101]

I love this channel and especially when they cover anything Batman!

[@Pako_equis]

Because he’s Batman??😂

[@tyronedeasis5055]

Grim Knight is my favorite evil Batman

[@noneofyourbussines6362]

In the MCU, Bucky should have bern the new Cap. Just because Bucky has something to make up for because of being The Winter Soldier and he has the super soldier formula. Sam Wilson was already a cool character as Falcon and has no super soldier serum. Maybe if he got the formula, but I still like Sam as Falcon.

[@massimozuccarello4070]

You right bro

[@aaronmarshall3559]

They're all crazy, I wish they added owl man to the mix tho. I would like to see a comic of the grim Knight

[@michaeliv284]

Actually he did, he was annoyed at how the Dark Knights were taking his shtick as batman's evil echo and wend down with a smile taking one of them out

[@omnijem5042]

I’m glad the fixed falcons chest and didn’t make it look like cap form 96 😅😂

[@Jtwinnfrm978]

Crazy how the Doomsday Batman is the most morally pure out of every other dark Batman, and it's Doomsday of all people😭

[@manuelernestoacebedo]

One hidden gem in this vid: the many cool t-shirts Arris has and wears. 😎

[@MarkTUsman96090]

The Darkest knight is the most powerful evil Batman of all time

[@Manifestation-se8fj]

BATMAN IS THE G.O.A.T.

Thanks for this and all other vídeos!

[@katlynwebb8474]

Dawnbreaker is making the infamous Jack The Ripper seem like a saint

[@eddieJVa]

Without having read the comics, when you mentioned an evil Bruce Wayne as Robin my first thought was Thomas Wayne as Batman & Bruce Wayne as Robin with Martha being the only one killed by Joe Chill.

[@justinwilliam6534]

Those Evil Batmen are cool I wish I could see them on TV aside from Red Death who did appeared in the CW Flash show.

[@Bryandan1elson]

42:00 "and im paraphrasing here" *reads directly from the text*

[@ElijahhTV]

Red death is actually OP bruh 😂

[@ActionGhoul]

Am I the only one that noticed the Original Variant comics background in the video? I love both the old set and the current one

[@MR.DSHELBYOBE]

Batman who laughs Bruce Wayne didn't believe in brushing his teeth?i mean damn cuz throw a brush on them things , maybe even a little costic soda😂

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, 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?

[@AzraelWolf-vr4ku]

Thanks, I’m a huge fan of Batman and knew in every multiverse there has to be an evil version of heroes. I like the Dawnbreaker (Evil Green Lantern Batman) the best. Also, can you do an evil version of Spiderman on the web-verse? Both Spider Carnage and the Batman Who Laugh are two who want to destroy the multiverse.

[@U7OrionSS4UI]

Imagine If There Was An Evil Hybrid Between Batman (Bruce Wayne) And Scarecrow (Jonathan Crane). Talk About An Deadly Combination Right?! Names For That Dark Knight: 1. Scarebat 2. Batcrow 3. The Harvester

[@dodinglaswadana7698]

I still believe that batman who laugh is created because someone just randomly asking, How if batman become a God??

[@mr7463]

Keep up the hard work arris 👍

[@gert_vC]

If only DC could make movies like they do comics 😎

[@martinbauzon7450]

Batman 🎉

[@juliusbossman7280]

The Dark Knights have main villain potential and should be better than Arrowverse's Red Death. The Merciless could be Paradise Lost's main villain as the cause of a civil war

[@Enter_Zoneless]

Can’t choose which one I like the most, design wise I like the merciless, but I like the origin of the drowned and Batman who frags a lot

[@Cervando]

A homage of Liefeld's worst image, despite stiff competition, must be a joke surely? Will the wings have pouches?

[@jm5887]

Should have all star batman on this list. Dude was actually insane

[@WolfTrooperRex]

The Batman Who Frags unironically looks like Shao Kahn

[@BlutigeTranen]

The design of these characters is awesome but the Robin King one is top tier

[@woofwill]

Thanks!

[@variant]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the episode. :)

[@newguy64]

A great, succinct look at these characters... Except that Batman Who Fraks bit where you just READ THE WHOLE COMIC ALMOST VERBATIM? What happened?

[@TheOneWhoDings]

Like normal bruce wasn't insane enough, the Robin king bruce is just diabolicaly bat sh!t crazy

[@ethankerr7477]

I wish that they do more grim knight stories 😢

[@nanangmodip8352]

1 hour video by variant comic? Well thats new

[@Liberalman00]

Wow! I rarely comment but what a great list! 2 thumbs up!

[@gagesmith6632]

The Batman suit in the devastator comic is so clean. Just fix the bat emblem and we good

[@ronnienambo4124]

Batman is like “say hello to my little friend”

[@Darthkow]

LET'S GO 🖤🖤😉

[@serjvi]

All I have to say awesome video,by the way all the shirts that you are wearing are fire where can I get them?

[@julianrivas1224]

"Legendary" more like "Infamous"

[@godspeedrebirth]

Right?

[@r.i.p.plegaming2327]

I love how some of them aren’t even fit to be batman, being mostly insane, irrational and down right manipulated, with only The Batman that laughs being a match to batman

[@jellydonut0]

I loved the Dark Knights. Seeing Red Death got me to buy comics. I enjoyed the Metal storyline. But I wish DC kept Red Death, Merciless, Dawnbreaker, Murder Machine, Drowned, and Devastator around as separate villains to the Justice League instead of only using Batman Who Laughs.

[@quentinfogger5755]

How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts team and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?

[@Sol-0T-hn5ro]

Fucking awesome video! Thank you brother:)

[@quentinfogger5755]

Which one of these Dark alternate versions of Batman do you think is the best as well as the most powerful and would win against each other? Which one of their powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@jamichealgates]

50:23 Wait, wait, wait, wait, you're not saying what I think you're saying. That's not good that's not good at all 50:35 Never mind I was right That's not good

[@StevenHouse1980]

Bruce "Lucifer" Wayne, Samiel Dorn Bringer was reborn as a human called Bruce Wayne.

[@1231crazykiller]

Man, you gotta love Lobo

[@kevinacosta4888]

Everyone is so in awe of everything batman did as an infected joker but don't realize all of this happened because the joker planned it the joker pushed batman to kill setting in motion everything that happened after all for 1 last f-u to batman the joker really is the greatest villain

[@makisbizarreadventure4669]

Red Death and the Drowned are so good. I think the Batman Who Laughs would have been so much better if it was the Batman from The Killing Joke tbh. Would have been a bigger impact for me. Joker doing all that in Gotham for the Dark Knight to snap his neck is almost comical

[@mitchthe3518]

Darkfather should've had a dedicated origin in multiverse who laughs

[@NY1of1]

They have to make an A24 robin king movie that shit was be so awesome

[@ajbeasley2771]

Okay I love the devistator I really do but my problem with him blames Clark for turning evil but he even admits he didn’t know why Clark went crazy Clark could have been possessed or a clone of our Clark etc and devistator blames supes for everything anyway

[@TheMercwithaMouth199]

I mean the Batman Who Laughs is so popular that he wasn't around long enough till NetherRealm Studios is like "Welp people like this evil Batman let's make him a skin for Noob Saibot."

[@shawnswint1521]

The Moral of this Video is ''Never give Bruce Wayne Superpowers''. LOL!!!

[@illistfloo]

The one thing that I don't like about dawn breaker is the pilot looking gear, and the fact he doesn't make a construct of batwings or a cape

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did history of Marvel's Black Knight, Can you do history of Marvel's Dreadknight? If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?

[@RandomCommenterDude]

They really took batman and said, "I wonder what whould happen if we mixed him with this hero and made them evil. Or this villain and made them eviler!"

[@sirnice-guy4438]

Looks like Batman's one fear came to life the Death of Alfred but the only difference is he didn't become DC's Ultron Pym by doing the Jarvis protocol

[@ajbeasley2771]

My 3 favorites are red death the grim knight and the Batman who laughs

[@U7OrionSS4UI]

Honorable Mention: Scare Bat [Fusion Between Scarecrow And Batman] Nickname:The Harvester Affiliation: Dark Knights From: Earth-62

[@chrispbacon8197]

They aren’t evil just broken 🦇❤️‍🩹

[@GodSlayerGhost]

just my opinion but batman is the most badass hero ever 😤

[@TanknorrisWoW]

It would have been epic if his will power was over 9000

[@nemesisprime4501]

There should be an animated movie about batman thinking in the multiverse he becomes evil. But in other worlds there are those who believes in justice like how batman should be

[@connorwilliams5785]

16:35 It's Batman and Ares, not Wonder Woman

[@andrewdubya1380]

2:05 is when the video actually starts.

[@chimeraproject9481]

How is the merciless a combination of wonder woman and batman? Wouldn't it be, ares and batman, since he uses the helmet and also nothing from wonder woman? I need an explanation on this, please

[@Solocereal]

I love batman

[@Exar_Kun]

[@larryballardiii3930]

We also didn’t get much of a dark father origin. It was more like his current state

[@stg4theglitchog768]

Imagine a Dark Multiverse version of the Flash who became literal lighting after he got his powers and went back in time to kill Eobard Thawne, after that he decides to kill everyone bad person in history to make the world a peaceful utopia where everyone who tries to do something bad gets killed by this version of the Flash who would maybe be called Deathstreak or Deathblur.

[@makisbizarreadventure4669]

Killstreak would prob be a better name

[@landocalrisian2014]

This is A Lot!!

[@TRIALBYWIRE]

How is it a punisher Batman? Is there not a DC equivalent of frank castle?

[@dispater101]

Still insane that all of these are rooted from a rich dude who cosplays as a bat and could do martial arts 😅

[@Nayops23]
