Darkclaw is more like Logan became Batman than a fusion considering another amalgam character is Bruce Wayne agent of shield

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Absolutely right! With Jubilee as his Robin! Wished these guys did a bit more research, but at least they're making folks aware of Dark Claw more !

[@MildarValsik]

Basically Dark claw like you said is logan because batman. Pretty much Logan just took from his healing factor and long lifespan to learn more combat training and took time to make a ton of money. With some more intelligent. Still a very deadly combination. If wolverine was added to some other DC characters he be way more over powered. What that cross over did was matched characters that was more like each other that could create a better storyline.

[@lynnerose7891]

But the point is that he was packaged as more Batman than Logan because Batman is more popular than Wolverine, even today.

[@dreamfeaster]

@@lynnerose7891 darkclaw is just logan kinda becoming batman not a fusion. Bruce Wayne just becomes a shield agent

[@LowellLucasJr.]

@@lynnerose7891 when darkckaw debuted, both were insanely popular. However, wolverine might have the edge as his sidekick was more jubilee based( just her in the costume) and hyena( his nemesis) more saber tooth based. I do understand where your coming from and last thing i wanna be is that obnoxious " But Actually..." Kinda guy.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

The only problem with the Hell Bat armor was he got a few good hits til Darkseid nearly destroyed him. Sadly no one ever talks about the aftermath.

[@jackwells8107]

8 was a big surprise to me. I knew the rest. I was surprised that you listed that Bats has teamed with Spider-man, but only because I thought more people would be surprised that he's teamed with Aliens, Predators, Tarzan, Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers.... Grendel... Hellboy... OMG! This really does keep going on, doesn't it? Maybe Batman's top 10 surprising crossovers should be your next listitcle.

8:24 Darkseid is the ruler of Apokolips, not Acropolis.

[@alm2187]

Batman also dealt with a confusing character named Dr. Hurt before shooting Darkseid with a bullet from what I'd hesitantly call the Realm of Forms. Darkseid fell backward in time busting a whole through reality. That hole was humanoid-shaped and took on villainous form. That newly formed villain took to calling himself Dr. Hurt. That's the origin of Dr. Hurt and strong evidence of just how many drugs Grant Morrison has done in his time.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Yeah, Hurt is a bit confusing. To simplify it , though : Hurt is a RELATIVE of Bruce?

[@GabePuratekuta]

You forgot the most important one of all: dancing the Batusi.

[@superscout2]

My father-in-law has the comic book where Alfred first comes into the employ of Bruce Wayne. His is chubby British butler that looks more like Winston Churchill. Later when Alfred was re-imaged, he was made skinny.

[@jonathon7535]

Green lanterns use will power not justice😳

[@Neetaku86]

0:11 Why does Jubilee dressed as Robin work so well?

[@jackwells8107]

Because she was doing it before. They actually joked about it in the Marvel/DC crossovers.

[@alexchord5689]

I thought his favorite food was cucumber sandwiches. :) I agree about the no kill rule. Zack Synder was chastised for introducing Batman and showing that his actions either killed or put criminals in harm's way. Great List.

[@rodscarbrough2337]

Maybe I lost my moral code years ago, or didn't have one at all. I have no problem killing the bad guy.

[@John-bj1zx]

Actually said Green Lantern uses "Justice" as their power for their rings. No. It's their willpower that powers the ring. Hence why "Fear", or the "color yellow", is the weakness because the greatest weakness for a person's willpower is their own fear.

[@bbsy1]

No he didn’t, he said he used it for vengeance instead of justice, never once mentioned it’s power source.

This is interesting to know guess I'll have more batman trivia facts

[@dylanogg347]

Batman's hangman incident is even more gruesome when you take the dialogue into account, as Batman states the criminal is probably better off. Not even a Bat Burn Heal could help with that...

[@dinomonzon7493]

Thanks for citing and acknowledging Bill Finger- he was the true creator of Batman.

[@matthewschwartz6607]

Is it true that he was an alcoholic?

[@gundanium3126]

Actually knew all of these.

[@Tyrineal]

there was also the time in the 2010's where he made a Green Lantern ring that never choose him as it's next user work (essentially overpowering it's own will)

[@matthewschwartz6607]

You mean with the Sinestro Corps storyline?

[@joedelao2090]

Didn't know about the soup, but knew everything else.

[@benparrish672]

The Joker's reach & madness are what gives Batsy fits in H2H CQC w/The Joker. J is 6'5" & 191lbs in cannon

[@ungenbunyon5548]

Heres one... He technically lives in A same universe as lara croft (emphasis on "A" same world, its a stretch) in a comic lara croft finds the witchblade from the witchblade comics witchblade is a spinoff from the darkness comics, its the child of the darkness and the angelus, Jackie castello who weilds the darkness teamed up with batman once in a crossover. Batman convinced Jackie castello to use the darkness for good, it didnt last xD

[@arthurmorgan1177]

Minor Spoilers for The Darkness. Jackie Estacado was given a hit on Batman and fought him and almost killed him but decided not too because he was fighting for good and then he told Uncle Frankie about it and then he was heading to the Police to turn tell him self in for all the horrible things hes done because unlike the video games that were very loosely based on it Jackie is a very evil guy so fast forward bunch of shit happens and Batman and Jackie fought for a bit some more shit happens and Batman and Jackie are friends and Batman convinces Jackie too leave the Mafia and do some good but that kicks off the whole Resurrection arc that involves Paulie Jackie dying and taking Frankie with him coming back without any memories of The Darkness and then taking over the mafia The whole First Born thing Artifacts him going to hell and coming back and all that sovereign shit

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

@@LowellLucasJr. Right.

[@barkerfreak1]

Batman teamed up with Spider-man twice. There was a graphic novel called Batman & Spider-Man. In that one they teamed up against Kingpin and Ras Al Ghul. I'm not sure which one was published first.

[@alm2187]

Yes, the no-kill rule was added later to appease parents' groups, but 10:10 is a shaky example. That's a malformed mutant getting roped, there. This is pretty much a mercy killing.

[@nilehoruseus]

I really liked when he had a crossover with Spider-Man

[@GabePuratekuta]

Even more than when he fought the Hulk in the 70s?

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

I remember seeing a poster where it Was marvel on one side colliding with DC.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

The only time you actually saw marvel And DC collaborate.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

I remember when folk on KZbin Was making fanmade trailers of marvel Vs DC with clips from movies.

[@craigjomaia]

@@nehemiahpouncey3607 They've done it multiple times, even one recently. It's just good business sense for them, increases both of their markets. JLA/Avengers came out March 2022 for instance.

[@squilliamtennisballs4159]

So Darkseid is the ruler of Acropolis? Huh. The more you learn... Thanks for letting me know it was never Apokolips this entire time lol.

[@fashionablechangeling1988]

Either the scriptwriters don't proofread their work or the presenters don't do second takes

[@stevegallo8483]

That Dark Multiverse story isn't the only time Batman used a Green Lantern ring. In the Elseworlds one shot "Batman: In Darkest Knight" Batman also used a Green Lantern ring.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Batman:I don't kill. Also Batman:carries a pistol. Me:but I thought you said you Don't kill? Batman:uh...how that get there robin!!!

@SuperAmazinMaN if you bring up His gun past he'll tell you to shut up.😂

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

@SuperAmazinMaN your right.

[@barrydutton9056]

There is actually very little here that is actually obscure - maybe the Philip Wayne thing.

[@nigelgreen9369]

In response to the no kill - "Cannon is canon"

[@quentin1326]

09:34 This makes sense since Batman was inspired by the Shadow, who had no qualms killing his foes.

[@pvthitch]

When Alfred Pennyworth first appeared he was a portly comedic side-kick.

[@michaelchoman1625]

You forgot to mention the 1997 crossover story BATMAN & SPIDER-MAN: NEW AGE DAWNING, the sequel to 1995's SPIDER-MAN & BATMAN: DISORDERED MINDS, where the two heroes team up again to battle Ra's al Ghul and the Kingpin. In this story, there's even a scene where Talia al Ghul, Ra's al Ghul's daughter, and Vanessa Fisk, the Kingpin's wife, have some "girl talk" with each other. They both realize that they have two things in common: they both love, and are loved by, two very rich and very powerful men in their own right...and they are both forced to compete with the only other two things those men love - power and more power.

"10 Obscure Batman Facts that you probably never heard of... well at least a few you've might never heard of." I know the title is a little long, but it's more accurate. I would be willing to best most of your audience knew at least half these facts.

[@Supremmo]

Superman use to kill too, but what stopped them both from doing so was the comics code.

[@aloysiusmaina2625]

I loved finding out about his favourite food 😍😋 - 🍲!

[@loka7783]

I'm reasonably certain the dates likely don't match up but... What if when Batman stopped using guns was around the time that Marvel's Punisher came out?

[@silentdep403]

Damn who knew the hell bat is slightly similar to the berserker armor but a bit of like a safer version

[@Uno-mv7wz]

Maybe Robins desing, is a bit closer that Kane thought, for he´s Batman. But thanks to Finger. Batman has he´s iconic style :)

[@jaredrhaburn507]

So can we point out the fact that Batman has worn at least two power rings in main continuity. (Both a yellow and black ring)

[@timidwolf]

Technically he didn't wear a black ring, that body wasn't him as he was actually sent back in time in the main continuity. He did wear a white ring briefly however!

[@jaredrhaburn507]

@@timidwolf Didn't Batman where a Black Ring in Dark Knights Metal? So include the white ring, he would have worn 3 rings

[@keldaris8625]

He has also worn Hal's ring twice. Hal lent him the ring once after he came back from the past, he used it to see his parents. The second time was during Darkseid War when Bruce couldn't resist the powers of the Mobius Chair. Hal slipped it on his finger to help strengthen his willpower, allowing him to remove himself from the chair.
