[@halfcirclehranch6877]

One failing of the Batarang is that when you throw it, one point is going to want to hook in on impact, while the opposite isn't, since, as it spins, the points have opposite curves. There's no proper way to hold it when you throw, because on the off chance a point hits, it has a 50/50 chance of facing in the right direction to stick. By the way, Tyranth won, because no matter what he does, he looks cool doing it.

[@DIREWOLFx75]

"There's no proper way to hold it when you throw, because on the off chance a point hits, it has a 50/50 chance of facing in the right direction to stick." That's the difference between an amateur thrower and a highly skilled thrower. For the master thrower, the random doesn't exist, because he CHOOSES exactly how much spin he puts on what he throws and understands the range and what spin is needed to get what impact. This is also why throwing knifes is so much more difficult, because you have to put just the right spin for the range on it, to make it hit point first. The problem of course, is that this kind of throwing skill is more in line with circus artists and highend performers than any normal users.

Also, you other two didn’t talk over him nearly as much as usual. This was both fun and informative.

The felt impact of a batarang hitting the gun (but not the hand itself) would be nothing compared to the felt recoil of firing the gun, so the shooter probably wouldn’t drop the pistol if the hand wasn’t impacted.

hey guys great video. got a few points id like to add: common pistols, like a M1911, for example, weighs about 2.8 pounds loaded, and a glock comes in at about 2.4 pounds loaded. i think they have way too much mass to be knocked aside by the batarangs that appear to be very light and dont have much mass of their own. you would need to hurl a large rock at their hand if you wanted to disarm the gun. if all you had were the batarangs i think you'd have to nail them in the hand and hope they drop it out of shock, or just hurl it at their face as a distraction to help you close the distance. i also feel its a big misunderstanding that shuriken and other similar throwing weapons have lethal capacity. i think they are used to distract and create openings. if youre having a sword fight with someone then out of no where you whip a sharp metal star, or even a knife or a rock at them, chances are youre going to force them to react. that reaction could be moving away from what was thrown at them, or straight up trying to parry it with their weapon. and whether it hits them or not, if you provoke your opponent to react to the unexpected and break their concentration for even a second and then follow up quick, it could potentially create the opening you need to finish the job

Shad, Batman is misrepresented in media. His core tenant is that he does not kill.

[@AzguardMike]

ooph pick up a comic. He kills plenty

[@scottdoesntmatter4409]

S'funny, but in the original comics, Batman carried a pair of pistols around to kill unnamed thugs. You are uneducated.

[@Mausso]

So I guess to you guys, it would be totally fine to have Batman dressed up in a zebra costume because he did it in a couple of comics? You would look at him and say, "Yeah, that's Batman!" Zach Snyder portrayed a Batman who will either kill you without hesitation or brand you so someone kills you in prison. Anyone can agree that that isn't Batman. As for the guns, I don't know where you're getting the "shoots unnamed thugs" because I looked it up. The most indiscriminate Batman seems to have gotten with his shooting was with vampires. The rest seem to be situations where killing them served as a writing technique to communicate the inner conflict in Batman. In Batman Begins, he saved Raz at the beginning and he saw the consequences, so at the end, he doesn't save him because it's thematically appropriate and he sees that there are some people who are just too dangerous. In the Dark Knight he kills Harvey Dent because they happened to be near a ledge and tackling him from that direction was the only way to save the child. It also was necessary for the plot because Batman's arc was realizing that his crusade was inspiring people in the wrong way. He created the Joker and inspired normal citizens to rise up and become vigilantes which is not what he wanted. By taking responsibility for Harvey and his murders, Batman becomes a villain in the public eye so that he doesn't inspire more people to take up his crusade. It's his cross to bear alone. Again, it's done in a way that fits the themes of the story. This isn't just a Tuesday for Batman. It's generally accepted through a majority of comics that Batman doesn't kill and doesn't use guns. When he deviates from that it is because it is usually for a dramatic and thematic purpose that serves the story, like in Dark Knight Returns where he is more violent because he's old, more cynical, and the criminals have become more aggressive and stronger. He becomes more violent and brutal because it serves the story and is used to challenge your understanding of Batman. It's not the norm. There is probably some other obscure comic that you'll probably try to contradict me, but again I will just cite the Zebra Batman scenario. Just because it happened in very specific scenarios doesn't make it the norm. It's also impossible to have a character that has been around as long as Batman and keep them consistent, because there will always be retcons. But in general, it's accepted that Batman doesn't kill and doesn't use guns.

I am not sure what i like more, the intresting weapons or how utterly, manically excited you guys get 😀

[@runman74]

Batman in most stories he doesn’t kill but batfleck did, zack snyder made a Batman that kills. Also Batman in must stories is controlled enough to really destroy you without killing, he is not the punisher.

[@gameragodzilla]

Michael Keaton Batman killed people (including the Joker) Val Kilmer Batman killed those guys chasing him in the car by letting a missile hit them Bale Batman killed those League of Shadows ninjas and Talia Al Ghul Even Adam West Batman killed a guy with an exploding octopus Only George Clooney and Robert Pattinson Batmen didn’t kill people, and they’re the worst Batmen (the latter being woke as shit). lol

[@susandolan9543]

Now that you've tested the Batman's Batarangs how about testing some of BLADE'S weapons. From the Comics Blade had wooden throwing knives that were razor sharp. From the Movies Wesley Snipes had a throwing claw-like boomerang that he used in 1 & 2. Just how effective would the wooden knives be or the claw boomerang? Food for thought.

[@theZDOME]

Shad movies don’t represent batman that well. Comics and the animated series he doesn’t kill. It’s just his way to separate himself from the criminals he brutalizes.

I suggest watching these two videos on Realism and Paragons for those who need an explanation of what most of the recent DC movies get wrong about batman. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2rCgHeEibN3qLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ7CgZxshNWBgbc

[@MagiRemmie]

I guess they aren't aware there is a multiverse in DC and the main timeline Batman doesn't kill.

[@Adierit]

The dark knight shaped one needs two pointy ears and probably the bottom point sharpened. This would let it function like a true ninja star. The swoopy curved one I think will bounce way too much.

[@JD_1776]

batman does NOT kill. The justice league batman was badly written. it is meant to be a part of his character. so many movie versions are poor interpretations

[@mansfieldtime]

From a legal stand point. Defendant, "I didn't shoot to kill him. I shot to stop the threat." Prosecutor, "You shot him 3 times." Defendant, "The threat didn't immediately stop." Prosecutor, "You shot him twice in the chest and once in the head." Defendant, "Yes. he refused to surrender so I was forced to ensure the threat stopped."

[@XtreeM_FaiL]

2 in the chest, 1 in the head is very popular special forces method, so this guy probably is trained expert. A trained expert know what he is doing, so he didn't do anything wrong.

[@mansfieldtime]

@@XtreeM_FaiL agreed... yet they still take police to court over things like this. But I was making a "Batman doesn't 'kill' joke."

hey guys, I just wanted to say, you should give a check on some of the bloodborne weapons, some of them, like the rakuyo, are quite interesting to analyze, and actually, the chikage is literally the cimitana you made (but gorgeous)

Thank you shad for bringing up that batman at times contradicts his moral code of not killing

[@matthewhilty4209]

It IS clear; Batman won. Batman always wins. He was there the whole time, we just could never see him. He's just that stealthy.

That's Daredevil Batman was trained by the League of Assassins

[@joaocarlosdarosafagundes7482]

@@noraye2500 Daredevil hasn't been trained by the Hand, he fights the Hand. Batman, on the other hAND, was trained by the League of Assassins only in the movies (I mean, probably also somewhere else, there are many versions of him; but the bottom line is that he wasn't trained by them in the main continuity).

[@Xenoprophet]

A little note on Batman's prowess, he even learned a Kryptonian martial art somehow.. Granted they lived under a red sun so no super powers, so perfect for a human.
