[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

DC seems to like the word "Crisis" a lot while Marvel seems to like the word "War" a lot Secret Wars, Civil War, Infinity War/Crisis on Infinite Earths, Final Crisis, Zero Hour Crisis

[@ricardomiles2957]

When the crossover happens it will be called The War of Crises

[@peterquill6527]

Ricardo Miles How about.. Crisis War?

[@solaimansohan138]

You missed Infinite Crisis

[@kevinnosaurus793]

@@ricardomiles2957 in Doomsday Clock they teased the name would be "Secret Crisis"

[@Sumblueguy41]

The Final War of Infinite Crisis’ (whats the plural form of more than 1 crisis?)

[@________w]

Comics have, separately: - Evil universe - Negative Universe (which is evil) - Antimatter universe (which is, for some reason, also evil) - various Alternate Timelines (in which one small change made everything evil) - Dark Multiverse (completely separate from all of the above, and also very evil) I sometimes imagine all the different evil universes getting together to discuss how they're the "real" evil universe

[@Sully3000]

I would have called the “Penny boxes” instead of Alfred boxes

[@donovanlarsen7982]

Very True! Missed opportunity on DC’s part.

[@ronaldmullins8221]

Such a better name, but I'm guessing they didn't because of the sentimental value of calling them what is basically a nickname for Alfred

[@spritemon98]

Perfect

[@budsteppin]

Superboy prime! Yes weve been calling this for a while this is crazy...

[@DonShotta24]

But he’s also back in Shazam so it doesn’t make sense

[@budsteppin]

@@DonShotta24 yeah they have to be different parts of the timeline lol

YES YES YES TO SWAMP THING NEW 52, SO UNDERRATED

Aye that run was so good

[@luclin92]

Pretty awesome. Kinda hopes this will make him check out animal man too.

[@ryanconnell8732]

Yes please

ROB LISTEN TO YASELF AND THIS GUY NEW 52 SWAMPY!!!

[@jesse8699]

I would def give it a shot since he educated us far beyond the issue

[@the5thmemelord256]

" 'Sup Heroes. Its ya Boi, Superboy Prime."

[@redjirachi1]

Prime's internal thoughts; goddamnit writers can't you just leave me alone?

[@BBEEYYAA]

What is really crazy is that superboy prime looks like a good guy in that last part.

[@ricardomiles2957]

It would be interesting if they show that if "everything happened like he wanted", Superboy Prime would go back to be a hero

[@galepeck8717]

He is a good guy to me

[@210SAi]

SBP will help defeat Perpetua and whatever they call BWL now

[@donovanlarsen7982]

Most likely, he ended up either conquering all of the heroes, or the world eventually got so desperate that they needed him survive. Possibly both.

[@elvisp116]

I hope some how sbprime could make it into continuity

[@BreakingPhobia103]

That final reveal by superboy prime, and even super boy prime himself, just DAMN.

Robin King is Macauley Culkin, change my mind.

Character Explanation: Phantom Stranger(DC) Character Explanation: Mammoth Mogul(Archie Sonic) Character Explanation: Durge(Star Wars) Character Explanation: Trigon(DC)

[@Darkbloom006]

Phantom Stranger is a powerful mystery, Trigon is a demon ancient god and father of Raven, All Star wars characters have the force and sabers.

[@galepeck8717]

Finally Superboy prime has come back to DC comics.

[@kyleellis9177]

thank the lawsuit for naming rights as the reason.

[@spencerthefrankenstein8291]

I actually think some ideas for dark multiverse versions of characters, like Raven that is Shazam and Superman that is also Shazam.

[@smilerdude4704]

That would be baller

[@saturncrush]

They are literally tons of dark multiverse characters I would love to see as well. DC has a potential gold mine.

[@kyleellis9177]

One where Hal got Larfleezes ring instead of becoming Paralax. Avarice instead of fear, he would have been content rebuilding coast city. Guardians would go hands off of sol system. League would try to stop Hal, He absorbs all of them, then goes after all the villains and sidekicks and then civillians making Earth Orange. He would Do Themyscira and Atlantis last before maybe grabbing mars, depends on verse. Once he has all of Sol system Guardians do same as with Larfleeze and Sector 2814 is off limits off Green lanterns.

[@Radver0]

Shazam that is Shazam

[@allenc9920]

Love your stuff Rob! I just wanted to clarify something you said on the Robin King. His Utility Belt is stored with actual things that he has made to kill every superhero in his world, thats why he has Swamp Thing and Jonah Hex's weaknesses, he even stated to Barry that he has shrunk Barry's mom's corpse into a flash ring and keep it in his belt. His story was part of Legends of the Dark Knights one shot, and I think he is getting his own comic one-shot too IIRC. But yeah, he is a very bad boy, he (SPOILERS FOR LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHTS) straight up killed his own universe's Alfred and his Parents

[@kriscrossx122]

Remember when Walley out ran the back racer by running to the end of creation and now he has Dr Manhattan powers too... How TF are you supposed to catch that outside of a mcguffin utility belt

[@officerspider7996]

I like the idea of worlds where the heroes Lost the Crisis events. Also happy to see Superboy prime again, maybe he’ll “redeem himself” in the end

[@210SAi]

Rob, I’m not sure about the Antimonitor and Darkseid being Dark Multiverse versions but Scott Snyder said that this Superboy Prime is the original SBP

[@MarchallWhite12345]

Beyond Omega Level: Magus Beyond Omega Level: Perpetua Beyond Omega Level: Impossible Man Beyond Omega Level: Deweller-in-Darkness Beyond Omega Level: Trigon Beyond Omega Level: Highfather Beyond Omega Level: Serpent (Cul Borson) Beyond Omega Level: D'Spayre Beyond Omega Level: Nightmare Beyond Omega Level: The Phantom Stranger

[@jortharob3406]

I feel like Undead Jonah Hex should be a permanent thing with DC

[@lavuntecolquitt]

DUUUUDE! These joints are OP Rob. I'm luvin ALL of these and im even MORE hooked.

[@thebat729]

Actually, those are the real anti monitor, Darkseid and Superboy prime, not dark multiverse versions of them. Scott Snyder confirmed that

[@Vamroc]

I seem to recall in CoiE them saying out of the entirety of the multiverse there was only one version of Oa and one version of Qward so it stands to reason since the Dark Multiverse is the worst possible version of the positive matter universe it would still only have a single Oa and single Qward and Qward in the "positive" Antimatter universe STILL almost won so yeah imagine that deck stacked even MORE against the heroes.

[@chiyosake]

Niop Tres Superboy-Prime lost that fight with SHAZAM. He narrates in the comic that he was wisked away an placed in the crisis to change the events that transpired to give perpetua more crisis energy.

Yeah I would definitely like to hear about the swamp thing comics

[@buzzonhigh4752]

For sure.

[@deanofcool]

I agree. One shots showing some of the origins of some of the batmen would be great, the origins of red death, murder machine etc were really good.

[@stevecontreras417]

A million times yes to new 52 Swampy. One of my favorite runs and my intro to comics!!! 💪🏼❤️

[@Sinreven]

Jarro is so adorbs ngl and the way he clings to bats is heartwarming

[@donovanlarsen7982]

Rob there are multiple Dark Multiverse Anti Monitors. Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis #1 pretty much confirmed that by having its own version of Superboy Prime, who was immediately killed off. This confirms that even Multiversal beings can have counterparts in the Dark Multiverse.

[@Nerzko]

I'd love you covering older stories from DC that you haven't done yet :) especially Swampy, I heard it was pretty awesome !

[@Anti-HyperLink]

I don't think I can ever get tired of Rob explaining the crises.

[@unintentionallydramatic]

Dark Multiverse anti- Now they're just not trying anymore.

[@DoubleBoost23]

Apparently it's the real Anti-Monitor, not some Dark Multiverse copy. Makes sense, he took over the Ultra Monitor and sided with Perpetua, so I can see why she'd give him a universe all to himself.

[@tofunmiosunsami1152]

I thought people were angry that only batmen were used now that they are using other characters you're still mad ?

I'd love to see you cover Swamp Thing, though if you do the New 52 run you will also need to cover Animal Man. Which I also wouldn't mind!

[@k0bra3eak40]

Rob didn't even go on a tangent when Superboy Prime appeared what is this

[@MforMovesets]

Every issue you get an idea how ridiculously powerful Batman Who Laughs is considering he controls all those Batmen. I mean seriously... Batmazo! BATMAZO?! Also Arkham-Batman is a great idea, I'd love to see a one-shot of that.

[@younggooni14]

Charles Soule's run on Swamp Thing and Jeff Lemire's Animal Man run is a MUST. The new52 had some slept on gems, those two being at the top of the list

I agree. I would love to read a few one shot stories about how Batman became another character 🤘🥳

[@imnobody1906]

Surely they’ll do one shots for all these, the one shots for dark nights metal were excellent I bought the hardback that was just the origin stories for the dark knights. There’s something fun about dark versions of stories and characters

[@DWCPodcast]

I agree fully on the 1 shots of Dark Multi-verse superheroes. There are others besides Bats, too.

[@Chronic_Gainz]

Rob, You should do Alan Moore's Swamp Thing. It's the main reason why Swamp Thing is my favorite character in comics. But yeah New 52 would be pretty awesome too!!!

[@adventarchivist5789]

Here's a fun idea. A guidebook to all the Dark Batmen, but it's stylized like a High School yearbook, put together by the Robin King.

[@shengcer]

Yes absolutely do the N52 animal man / swamp thing videos. That's probably Snyder's best work aside from his N52 Batman run.

[@bobkelsh8277]

If your gonna do swamp thing you gotta do Alan Moore's run. He explains it all and it's an amazing run thematically and in story telling

[@Havok1718]

Brother great vid. I agree they need to make a omni or just a collected edition of all one shots of all the Dark multiverse Batmen that would be a big book. What Swamp thing did reminded me of in He man the Hordak war saga what moss man did to bring back the plant life on eternia.

[@durazo67]

@comicsexplained you need to cover Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing and some vertigo comics

[@CainMadness]

I whole heartedly agree that there should be an episode on Swamp Thing. Both new version and old stuff. Such as when Superman and Swamp Thing went at it, and Superman GAVE UP because he realized unless he destroyed all life/The Green, he couldn't beat Swamp Thing. One of my favorite old comics from back in the day. Early 90s, I believe.

[@Digedon]

You should cover Mark Waid's Flash run!

[@gideonprager8930]

Can you make an entire playlist with the button, dark knights metal, doomsday clock, justice league, death metal, etc.??
