Alex lennen did a good rundown of his whole story not to big on comic specific but big in a whole concise story of batman

No kidding that’s like 80 years of history across multiple publications

[@VicMartino]

This is one of the best Batman videos here on You Tube although I totally disagree with the choice of The Killing Joke being number one but aside from that I totally enjoyed this video. Excellent telling and showing of some of the highlights in the world of the Batman. Batman rules and so does Variant.

[@seandewet]

The Gray Ghost was voiced by Adam West from the 66 Batman.

[@roberthanson6156]

Saw Batman Mask Of The Phantasm on the big screen for Batman day week. It was amazing

[@aj-dr9853]

Hello Variant! Love all your videos and your work. Could you do one about Batman's training one day? It would be nice to have a video about all the process Bruce went into to become Batman. Where did he travel, who did he train with, what were all the things he learned, who were his mentors, etc. I would love to see a video of that!

[@djpooh2177]

Batman Superman the flash green arrow was Dc Comic best characters my opinions. Batman So cool Superheroes

[@usedart25]

The ultimate watch! Batman. My favorite superhero hero of all time.

[@devinmceachern]

Congratulations to Batman on receiving a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

[@VladimirDT]

No mention of the 2000s batman cartoon simply called The Batman? That one was really good too right after the animated series

[@zackdelarosa14]

That's a shame the Dracula movie was REALLY good too

[@grayman556]

There were only 109 according to the Google. I was thinking at least 250 to 500.

[@Firenutz]

So I’m only at #7 of your “Greatest Battles” list, but I’m hoping to see all three The Dark Knight Returns epic fights in the top five: Old Bats versus the Mutant Leader in the mud pit, Old Bats versus Old Joker in the amusement park, and Old Bats versus the Boy Scout in Crime Alley. What an incredible work.

[@IamLegendaryguy1998]

Batman greatness

[@paulc1553]

The greatest superhero of all time, Batman.

[@marquiseeleazer9413]

You guys are the absolute best when it comes to comic videos. Hoping you guys can do more characters like this!

[@rand43]

Neal Adams and Jim Aparo did their thing with Batman . They're definitely missed, gone but not forgotten

[@ryanmata9170]

Variant is by far one of my favorite channels to watch. Great content as always !!

[@variant]

I appreciate that!

[@joelponder6563]

This was absolutely fantastic. I feel like I just had a full course meal with dessert ( a large slice of cake with ice cream of course!) And, with it dropping on friday was a wonderful way to start my weekend. Thank you, sir. P.S. do more please.

[@variant]

We’re glad you dig it! Thanks for letting us kickstart you weekend! 🤘😎

[@jerbearadventutures]

Batman is my all time favorite superhero and it’s not even close. Thank you so much for this Variant!

[@Makman1994]

One of your best videos, especially with the new content. Please do this for Spider-Man.

[@MHarris1206]

Some of theses Batman Comics could be fire movies in the DC Universe(Court of Owls, Death of the Family, Batman the Three Jokers) I could go on and on…

[@Pops_Gambit]

You have no idea how much I appreciate this. One day soon I hope to show you all why.

[@kaijwen1307]

I like paying for movies I want to watch. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@rickeylawrence4229]

I thought this was gonna be a lore video. 😭. Still loved and watched every second.

[@winningmentality3097]

Batman never kills. An aspect that must never change. It's the core of who he is

[@iamlambandchicken]

those early serials is one of my absolute favorites! Along with Adam West’s batman.. use to watch the old re-runs and movie with my Dad.

[@suseelmarahattha5894]

Bloody hell!!! Batman does look good for a 84 year old. That's why he is batman

[@LinkenK]

More, please. Just, more of this. More of these Ultimate videos. More. Please.

[@alantully455]

Great video though I do love how he couldn’t quite take out the boredom in his voice when telling the original origin story.

[@MrViperHiggins]

Oh this is the video I never knew I wanted and now NEED thanks guys love you all and the work you do

[@variant]

🙌

[@EdehEmmanuel-d7r]

​@@variantplease do spiderman and super man as well u know that both of them too are ❤ and 🐐

[@devinthadude88able]

Variant made a almost two hour Bat related video. And I ……..just listened to it all!!!

[@ojmcclanahan689]

If I could do a Batman/DC cinematic universe of my own, I would adapt stories like The Killing Joke, Death In The Family, Death of The Family, Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious House, Black Mirror, Dark Knight's Metal, Blackest Night and so on. It would all be rated R and they would all basically be Horror movies.

[@csw3287]

When I was a kid I cried when the Earth-Two Batman Died in '79

[@cmrobbins88]

I grew up with Batman mainly through animation, film, and video games and never realized how much I was missing out on the comics. I just finished Hush and it was fantastic. Looking for stories I know less about but I will get Red Hood and Killing Joke to collect and enjoy. Death of The Family or the Long Halloween sound great. Or any comics from the 80s.

[@TheEntertainmentKnight]

Wow Batman has so much history I'm new to the character I really need to catch up

[@K1214-m9w]

I absolutely LOVE THIS!! I would love to see you guys do this for Superman too.

[@frederikpamp1916]

Thank you very much for this great video! I'd really like to have something like this more often, but it's probably too much effort. My personal wish would be “Ultimate History ...” for Spider-Man, or Green Lantern Keep up the good work and thank you very much for your great content

[@mrrobotreads]

You're technically correct: Thomas Ellliot grew up in an abusive home and blamed Batman for his mother surviving the car accident that killed his father.

I am vengeance I am the Knight I am Batman - Kevin Conroy

[@thomashobbes8786]

Man. Thank you for this!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve been out of the Batman lore since Knightfall. Heard of Court of Owls, etc. But picked up Absolute Power recently, and it was clear to me that a LOT has happened that I had no understanding of. Failsafe what? (btw so awesome that Batman created a contingency plan for himself like he did for the rest of the League.) I’m definitely gonna pick up some TBPs soon to get caught up on some of these key concepts.

[@ChronoNeko]

21:48 Jensen Ackle's great performance as Red Hood is why I had such a hard time accepting him as Bruce/Batman in later animated movies.

[@AtomicCatnip]

Respect for covering it all

[@ajeshnilata1540]

Two things I have to say Do a ultimate history of Superman and cannot wait for absolute Batman To see what direction they take of the cape crusader

[@variant]

Our episode on Absolute Batman drops 10/9, so keep an eye out for that. Ultimate History of Superman is planned for 2025.

[@hokage8426]

It’s safe to say Batman has overtaken Superman as the most iconic superhero of all time. Just the fact that he’s the most name dropped fictional character in songs (mainly hip hop) gives him something that not even Superman or any other have

[@gtc1554]

Its funny how Aris says the red sudan “nor was it called the batmobile” but then literally has a panel of a comic calling it the batmobile… idk what to think here lol 39:51

[@samhibberd5153]

I do love the first time he fights bane in the dark knight rises

[@Visqo1]

Strong ass episode. Respect.

[@puzzledhypnoshroom1004]

The best video you’ve done. This is the one

[@quentinfogger5755]

Just like how you did a video about possible actors who could play Batman in James Gunn DC projects in the DCU, Can you do the same thing with Wonder Woman?

[@DarkKnightArchive]

Please make a video of his full canonical chronology.

[@Armusah]

Appreciate all the hard work and dedication put into this! So informational! Only thing, how did you leave the video game Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu off?

[@siobhanceili6566]

[@stevengibson4566]

Please do a video of how powerful is Batman

[@cattameme]

I like the recent story where Batman goes off into space, and learns how to one punch Super meta humans.

[@TheGuzeinbuick]

If Aris doesn't like armour paneling on his batsuits, he must have had a heart attack when he first saw New 52 lol

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did the history of the Ghost, M.O.D.O.K, the Mandarin and Fin_Fang_Foom, Can you do history of Iron Man villains like Ultimo, Iron Monger, Ezekiel Stane, Whiplash, Firebrand, Spymaster, Blizzard, Madam_Masque, Count_Nefaria, Temugin, Controller, Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo?

[@heavyassaultcollectables1731]

[@michaelsimon3857]

Best KZbin video, great job my dude

[@k4t_knifec770]

Hey man great video, but as a new comic book reader it’s really hard to find a video detailing the REAL origin of Batman. I’d appreciate if you detailed everything since his first appearance, people think the Golden Age batman is the same one as the New earth. Hopefully this doesn’t sound rude, it’s just that I wish I could’ve seen a guide for Batman instead of figuring everything out piece by piece. Thank you variant comics ❤ (Edit) for example the Golden Age Debut, Earth 1, Crisis on Infinite Earths, New earth, Zero Hour, infinite Crisis, Final crisis, flash point, New 52, Rebirth, that kind of chronological timeline

[@ianraton2921]

The best superhero of all time,long live the bat! 🦇🦇🦇

[@tylermarble1561]

You guys should do more stuff like this.

[@juandelossantos1866]

I didn’t see when Batman was addicted to “drugs” and put him self into his own form of rehab. Ooooor the time when he was presumed dead and Greyson took the mantel in Snyder black mirror. But …. Still a great video. Batman for life.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Since you did the history of Midnight Man, Are you going to do history of other Moon Knight villains like Arthur Harrow, Shadow Knight, Bushman, the Zodiac Cartel, Stained Glass Scarlet, Moon_Shade and the Sun-King?

[@AmolAmrit]

Powerful content!

[@quentinfogger5755]

Just like Christian Bale and Micheal Keaton, Who do you think is the best actor to portray Batman in live action along with which one of their movies is the best?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Who's the best choice in playing Batman in James Gunn DC projects in the DCU between Jake Gyllenhaal, Jensen Ackles or Michael Fassbender who can play Batman with the most experience or do you think it should be someone younger like Richard Madden?

[@gevdarg]

Batman Adventures with art by Mike Parobeck is highly, HIGHLY, recommended. Comic Book Greatness. Masterclass in comic book storytelling.

[@dbooker0410]

I listened to these stories at work being read by Comicstorian. 💔 These are amazing stories, the writers/artists elevated Batman to greater and greater levels!
