RoboCop himself, Peter Weller voicing older Batman was just perfection.

[@SpankDMunky]

Agreed. Inspired casting choice.

[@shainewhite2781]

Kind of makes me wish they had cast him in Tim Burton's BATMAN.

[@solblackguy]

This is one of the few times that I don't think Kevin Conroy could do a better job.

[@INDAMOMENTFilms]

All this time rewatching the movie I just realised when you pointed it out, crazy ❤️🤙🔥 he's an awesome actor!!!

[@SpiderandMosquito]

*bows down*

[@jonmercano1138]

Carrie had a gymnastics trophy and three medals in her room. Bronze, silver, and gold. So I’d say she has plenty of experience in it. The costume is legit just a costume, like you can see the bag on her bed that says Robin Costume 😂 The mutant slang is hilarious 🤣

[@solblackguy]

That's why Carey is awesome. She's basically Jubilee without powers, but all the resourcefulness.

[@JW666]

It's Carrie ;) =)

[@matthewswart1245]

came to say this

[@TheBoondocksaint117]

Mutant Leader: Grabs a crowbar. Bruce: "I don't wanna die like Jason." Love the reactions, Krysta! You're gonna love part 2 :)

[@batbrick3949]

The crazy part is that TDKR was published a few years before Jason was killed, and it did include the Mutant Leader beating Batman with a crowbar.

[@TheBoondocksaint117]

@@batbrick3949 Yeah, it's interesting that Frank Miller included it without any context, and then several years later it came true, completely coincidentally; as opposed to the line about pretending ginger ale was champagne, which happened in Year One, which Miller wrote after TDKR and called back to.

[@SonofNaoya]

Krysta don't let poor old Bruce distract you from the fact that bungee gum possess the properties of both rubber and gum

[@jerekheadrick3379]

If you like old Batman, Batman Beyond is a fucking amazing take on old Bruce and a fantastic show in general.

[@nicolelisboa2024]

She should watch the show first and then the movie or watch the animated series as it takes place in the same universe

[@nickrocha1997]

she should watch all the shows from that universe. Batman The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures, Superman The Animated series, Justice League, JL Unlimited, Static Shock, Zeta Project and Batman Beyond

[@solblackguy]

Return of the Joker is epic. Somehow the censored version or "that one scene" is more gruesome than the uncensored one.

[@xandercage8082]

So badass it premiered at night

[@Cosmicmorales]

Both shows and movies were good.

[@Kyller9-2]

I love how batman is basically a ridiculous and insane character in this realistic and accurate depiction of our world. But he's completely necessary. He makes the most sense.

[@themoofs6925]

As a kid I always tried to imagine what it would be like to be walking across the street and seeing a Batshaped shadow appear in over the street,

[@CompelledUsername]

Considering his Dad was a surgeon, I love the operating table line.

[@solblackguy]

Thomas Wayne Batman is ridiculous with it because he intentionally targets people's vital organs and does absurd stuff like dislocate and reset people joints in interrogations

[@BangBangspideyproduc]

So glad you reacted to this, both this and part 2 are just amazing and Peter Weller is such a great Batman.

[@jesusleyva4386]

Where's part 2 or do you know when she'll release it?

[@mumbo_fuze2484]

YES!!! Not enough people have seen this masterpiece

[@MAGAdoriya]

BEST ANIMATED BATMAN MOVIE TO DATE BROTHA

[@thechad4485]

He uses low doses of Scarecrow’s fear toxin in his smoke pellets to make his targets more afraid and shook, so he can dismantle them easier.

[@thesurvivorssanctuary6561]

Batman better choose his targets carefully then. That would legitimately kill some people.

[@トーキ-g8v]

She feels about the mutants the same way the older generations feel about the millennial age group onwards

[@mariebourgot4949]

* She feels about the mutants the same way every generations feel about the generations who come afterwards since the Antiquity. Meaning bias as old as times.

[@Dr_OzoneTV]

The way the normal generations feel about the millennial/Gen z

[@yakiddphangcudi1192]

That final fight with the mutant leader was basically Batman going "this y'all goat?" to the mutants

[@rowthenplays984]

Peter Weller makes for such a good Bruce/Batman VA, wish there was a bit more with him as bats or even an other world version of the bat alongside the current animated movie version of him

[@quentinjones6877]

I love that line when batman says "this is an operating table and I'm the surgeon"

[@michaelsugmcgee4050]

He went from lucky amateur in year one to lucky old man in this 😆

[@jgrAnimations23]

It's an operating table and I'm the surgeon Such a badass line

[@solblackguy]

The only thing that did that line slightly better was the scene that referenced Dark Knight Returns in The Batman/Superman Adventures. Batman, voiced by Michael Ironside says "It's an operating table" (You see Batman grab the leader's leg as lighting strikes and you hear a loud crack followed by the Mutant Leader screaming) "And I'm the surgeon."

[@INDAMOMENTFilms]

I laughed so hard when she keeps calling the mutant leader hard nipple man 🤣🤣🤣 she's awesome!!!

[@ghostspider2056]

Bare in mind this story is basically an alternate non canon future that could’ve happened but didn’t. For instance, Jason is still dead and there’s been no Robin since.

[@shadowpup3016]

Also that a certain someone is obsessed with Bruce for some reason

[@solblackguy]

It makes me feel old thinking how long it's been since Jason was killed. I even remember calling in and voting for his ass to die.

[@shadowpup3016]

How did that even work? I imagine the call center being on fire from all the calls

[@Davidscomix]

@@solblackguy dang

[@solblackguy]

@@shadowpup3016 it was automated.

[@classicghostrider2715]

This was a great treat during work. Peter Wellers a dope Batman and I love the fights in these two films. Dont know how your planning on going through the rest of dc animation but I hope you’ll at least watch the Bruce timm Batman movies and Batman Beyond. Lots of fun thanks for the vids.😝

[@deathclaws5946]

You know...everytime when I watch your reaction over all the batman's movies,and you can't resist over Dick grayson looks and his thing.

[@fireflame62]

"Your In for a show kid" same line used in "the dark knight "

[@kelbyevans1008]

I liked it when Batman beat the living crap out of The Mutant Leader, broke his face, his arm, and his leg. That was my favorite fight throughout the whole movie.

[@DarkestKnight-v8m]

This movie and part two are literally my favorite movies in the world! I absolutely love batman, he is my favorite vigilante/hero of absolute all times lol!!!

[@dbzking02]

I still think it's crazy that Joker just became a freaking vegetable ever since Joker retired, like a computer going into sleep mode until the owner comes back to turn it back on. That's a level of co-dependency that I can barely describe.

[@BigOTheOmni1]

Got both parts in my dvd collection, definitely one of my favorite Batman movies

[@no1guy825]

girl....take a breath. pump the brakes. the constant hype talk is too much for the entirety of the video. you can be calm and it still works. you don't NEED to constantly yell and cheer the entire video for people to be invested. even more than giving your listeners a break from one, frequency of....hollering....you also can focus more on what's being said. it might've helped you understand the Harvey segment a bit more.

[@arcredemption7603]

Man nothing beats robocop as Batman.

[@Carlos-np7du]

Agreed

[@mikeymartinez8636]

Honestly the older I get the more I can relate to Bruce he has some sort of ptsd and it gets triggered with things like when he saw the pearls it can bring u back I lost my parents at like 12 and seeing things even some smells or what ever can like bring me back to that moment and I like that they kinda showed that he is dealing with that that even as old as he is I’m 26 now and I still have moments when I can get brought back to being a 12 year old

[@charliefarmer4365]

Sorry you have to deal with that. Hope you're doing OK!

[@christianc1317]

Remember this comic which came out in 86 was about a futuristic Batman 30-40 years down the road.

[@ankityadav5184]

Finally! u watched my two favourite Batman movies..Year one and Dark knight returns..Peter weller was amazing as Batman.

[@radicaladz]

"Rubber bullets. Honest." A line that probably hasn't aged well, but is the in-comic justification for Batman driving a damn tank through a gang of fucking teenagers, automatic weapons notwithstanding.

[@SupremoJVT]

Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker

[@CitizenoftheWorld1]

This is the comic book that inspired Snyder to do Batman v Superman. I liked the Ultimate Edition, but the Lex Luthor and Doomsday plot made me cringe 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@bananielrush8602]

Sad when you realize during the race that he wanted to die

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

I've always thought Dick cut ties with Bruce because he gave up being Batman.

[@tonyantonellis9983]

Hearing you mentioning that Harvey Dent looks like Riddler as Hush tells me that you never read the Batman Hush comic which is about Thomas Elliot being the one who Hush is..

[@agent-bunganil-numero-uno]

This ones a Good movie, I only watched it like 2-3 days ago and now seeing a reaction for it, made me laugh and smile at the same time Love the reactions Krysta :) Looking forward to the second part of the dark knight.

[@zonal4102]

YES WTF WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS!!!!! THIS IS ARGUABLY MY FAVORITE BATMAN ANIMATED MOVIE!

[@noelruela6777]

Shawty said dexter n I just can’t unsee it 😭😂

[@cartersolgos1658]

When the Mutants talk like that it is because the creator of the comic had siblings and they used to talk like that with eachother

[@ferrarriohh]

Red Letter Media calls Peter Weller Admiral Robocop. He deserves to be called BatAdmiral Roboman

[@dennismason3740]

Krystal's confusion at certain phrases (this is an operating table) takes some of Frank Miller's more pretentious lines to their natural conclusion. This movie is based on the comics that made Frank Miller famous and brought a more serious tone to the comics and along with the work of Alan Moore changed DC significantly. Frank eventually lost his mind and kept writing and drawing comics. I liked Sin City by Miller.

[@jazzyj3059]

So the girls name is Carrie Kelly and she is supposedly one of the Robins, but she only shows up when Bruce is old. Sometimes she’s not even mentioned that much because she shows up so far off in the future. I wouldn’t say she’s a favorite but she’s an interesting character.

[@SathishKumar-sk8fe]

In this universe Dick Grayson becomes new joker after original joker dies. Also, this is based on the comics that came 80s which is a silent cold War era. You find many incidents in these movies reminding us. Also, carrie a respect. She is the first female Robin in the comics. Even before Stephanie brown.

[@solblackguy]

Man, Stephanie Bron was such a terrible Robin. She really gives a lot of people ammo to hate her too. Too bad most of that ammo is falling out of her.

[@milkiassamuel780]

Welcome to the childhood of an 80’s kid. We all watched Bruce catch that mutant asswhuppin’ via DKR. You’re a man now.

[@ВалентинЖданов-р9е]

-The bat that flew into the mansion and broke the window is a tribute to the comic book Year One, that's how Bruce came up with Batman - Lana Lang is Clark Kent's childhood friend))) - There is a Batgirl too...In this universe, it is accepted by comic book fans that this comic is best "completed" between the confrontation of Batman and Sumperman, because to say that further after this nonsense went is to say nothing

[@Higsby100]

Obviously this was way before the newer planet of the apes but now this scen reminds me of when cesar whooped rocket

Bruce looking like Dr. Phil with more hair😆

[@emeraldkoala2]

When I watched this movie for the first time I was not expecting to hear Dark Shadow's Quentin Collins(David Selby) as James Gordon, but it was certainly a welcome surprise.

[@thenationaltimelyactionhou9328]

I love this film, and the comic it’s based on!

[@ghostspider2056]

This story was partly the inspiration for Batman V Superman film.

[@milkiassamuel780]

The Dark Knight Rises also took inspiration from this story, especially with Batman being on retirement and a older Bruce Wayne. Honestly nearly every Batman film takes inspiration from this story (it is a great story after all that transcended the comic book industry entirely).

In the comic, Batman actually killed the mutant member to save the kid.

Strange idea but would you ever consider watching 5 of the top rated Batman Animated Series episodes and treating it like a movie watchalong so you didn’t have to react to an entire tv series? Mad Love, Over the Edge, Robin's Reckoning, Perchance to Dream. Anything you wanted. I think it would be a cute way to incorporate it without actually dedicating all your time to watching a long series format.

[@Senjin233]

[@alanfigueroa3386]

After you finish part 2 of the dark Knight returns can you please watch green Lantern First Flight or green Lantern emerald Knights I feel like you will enjoy them.

[@milkiassamuel780]

I 100% agree, Green Lantern: First Flight is one of my favourite DC animated films and is super underrated as it is a great Green Lantern film (miles away better than the 2011 live action film). Sinestro in the film is probably my favourite character and truly intimidating and complex antagonist who believes in the right things but has only experienced so much to learn that order can only be accomplished by fear and demonstrates his own inner-turmoil and vulnerability because of fear. I really think the world if the Green Lantern Corps is one of tge most fascinating aspects of the DC Universe, especially when based on Geoff John's phenomenal Green Lantern run introducing compelling characters, fascinating themes and new interesting Lanterns of all colours.
