Why Owlman Is More Than Just An Alternate Batman

Welcome to this brand new batman rant video! In this video we will dive into the idea of Why Owlman is So Much More Then Just An Alternate Batman! We will go into Owlman's backstory and also how he became the evil version of Batman. If you enjoy this DC rant or Owlman rant then make sure to leave a like, sub and comment below suggestions for future ideas!

The Batman who laughs is not even a real character. He's just a concept.

[@morganmorrismedia]

the story he is in isn't the best but the character design and the idea of a batman who has the insanity of the joker is quite interesting but owl man in the comics is not an evil batman (Bruce Wayne)

[@savageshot3723]

I find it ironic that owlmans plan if executed, would ultimately lead to nothing(in line with nothing matters), but his decision to do that incited others to stop him. Kind of thwarting the whole "nothing matters besides *this* decision" idea, which in itself matters. He created a situation and circumstances where it does actually matter in the entire grand scheme of things. Momentarily destabilizing the entire multiverses fate.

[@isaacclark9825]

In the end, Owlman said that Batman stopping him did not matter. That implies that there were multiverses where Owlman succeeded and ones where he did not. Perhaps that is the way out of this conundrum.

[@savageshot3723]

@@isaacclark9825 I don't understand, so in the DC cosmology there's multiverses of multiverses?

[@isaacclark9825]

@@savageshot3723 Maybe. I postulated it as a way to give Owlman's statement meaning. Perhaps he was just delusional.

[@savageshot3723]

@@isaacclark9825 I imagine he'd go to the top of the ladder if there were multiverses of multiverses, as he was trying to erase all of existence His final statement still has meaning though, he held onto his deluded perverted ideology till the end, not seeing the irony in everything he did. I think of his final statement as a shallow surface level acceptance of defeat, and perhaps nothing matters *to him only now* as he will be deceased. Maybe in that last second he had a revelation of sorts, a moment of clarity. It's rough for me to understand him, but that may be the point. It just doesn't matter. I'm not certain lol

[@acosilicon]

@@isaacclark9825 Owlman couldn't succeed -- this is because the Earth is still here. Many realities are still here. If even one of the other versions of himself succeeded, then the rest of the multiverse would have been destroyed already. But as shown thus far, the multiverse is still here and kicking (expanding with more choices). It means Owlman (no matter the versions) couldn't destroy Earth prime or he never could find Earth prime to begin with. OR his conclusion about "by destroying Earth prime, then the rest of the multiverse will get destroyed" is incorrect from the beginning. In conclusion, Owlman's quest to destroy every reality is doomed to fail from the start.

[@ivanbluecool]

Owlman is the perfect showing of someone who feels so empty he would destory the multiverse just so he knows he did something of his own free will. Him and Ulquiorra from bleach pretty much show why it's horrifying to find yourself at the bottom of the abyss or detached from everything Plus like gods and monsters batman owlman can stand on his own as a character

[@james739123]

Owlman's plan to destroy the multiverse by destroying the prime wouldn't have worked anyway, you can't destroy a forest by cutting down the first tree then go home, every choice and every action has a parallel existence, so where we see the worlds were he failed, there should be a world were he succeeded, but no, the multiverse is still going, still expanding, still changing, he was right, nothing he dose matters.

@@ComicCasualVideos Thanks. Seeing as brainiac is depicted as a multi verse threat in the Arkham universe, I’d tell you it would make sense that he would just recruit a version of the justice league from another universe to be his puppets. so choosing the crime syndicate would be a good option (not to mention in the comics Ultraman is actually powered by kryptonite and weak to sunlight. so the scene where Superman got stabbed with kryptonite but survived would actually make sense in this version and between you and me, I have a better time accepting the idea Ultraman could get hit focused light guns rather than bullets since sunlight will naturally be moving at the speed of light.)

[@lacrartezorok4975]

If that version it's not the one from the new 52 then I don't know wich one is, but it doesn't make that much sense that he turns evil when he knows his parents weren't good people. The original Squadron Supreme's Nighthawk actually becomes a hero because he found out after his father's death that he was a corrupt businessman. Grant Morrison's version of Owlman is much more interesting. His mom and brother (his Earth's Bruce) are murdered and he learns as a young boy that they died because his dad was going to testify against a monster, so in his mind his loss is his father's fault, because he exposed his family to danger without gaining anything. It's a mix of egotism and nihilism what drives him, besides the desire to punish Thomas Sr. for his good deed what made Thomas Jr. becoming the biggest criminal and de facto ruler of Gotham.

[@lordvalen8133]

I don't think it's about the consequence of the action so much as it is about Owlman's free will. What Owlman wants is control, not just over others, but of himself. He wants free will. Because every choice is the product of a choice made in another universe, Owlman thinks, no one is able to make choices of their own free will and so no one is able to control anything. On Earth Prime, however, this isn't the case. There, Owlman thinks he can make the only choice that can matter at all (because it is the only choice which can be made freely): To destroy the multiverse. Owlman wishes to choose to destroy choice and the lack of control it causes.

Batman Who Laughs would have worked better if he said funny lines and using silly insults. He would be an actual GOAT.

[@agent95_]

The abyss is the abyss. I was with you until you misinterpreted what Bats said to Owlman. The “Abyss” as they both saw it was “the fact that nothing mattered.” It doesn’t matter in the grand scheme sure.. but he chose to understand that you can’t control everything. But you can help where you can. Batman formed the justice league to ensure his planet doesn’t come to an end. And most times it’s his strategic placement of the team is how they keep the world turning. That help out where you can became something larger that ended up saving the entire multiverse. Make no mistake Owlman is an absolute psychopath. His desire to control everything so nothing bad ever happens again is psychotic. Because him ending one cycle can’t stop it from ever starting back up. The planet will settle and reform, and life will begin a new and start branching. So what’s the point of temporarily halting everything so before you die you can say “no one is gonna out do me”. No one is gonna know or care what you did and you won’t exist to care either. Hence the reason when he lost, he said “it doesn’t matter” because it didn’t! 😂 bro blinked again.

[@knghtbrd]

Owlman is wrong, of course. Even if a universe exists where you made other choices, your choices in THIS one matter HERE. Batman was correct: Owlman blinked. He decided to become what he hated. And then he decided that he wasn't responsible for what he saw in the mirror. He decided that what he did never mattered because someone else made a different choice, a better choice. It was an excuse, a crutch, a cop out. He could have chosen to be the person he thought his parents were. But he's a coward, so instead he's decided he's not afraid to die. Death is easy. Death is a way that Owlman can avoid looking in the mirror and telling himself that he has been a failure. That he would have been a Batman, if he wanted to be, and that he alone could take down the entire Crime Syndicate.

The batman who laughs should not be an amoral Bruce Wayne. That is more the Joker who became the bat. The batman who laughs aka a jokerized Batman would be a bruce wayne who still keeps his morals in check, but will simply break villians morale and psyche. He would not kill, since that "ends the joke" , if anything he would simply become a batman that pushes villians to a breaking point that they want to quit, just so they cannot hear that laugh anymore.

Every decision we've ever made, there is always a pair of cross roads.

But have you ever wondered what would happen if you went the other direction? What if you were more ambitious, what if you were more greedy, what if you were a better liar? That's who Owlman is, he is Bruce if he decided at one point in his life to go the other direction.

I would like to share my point of view the connection of Owlman & Batman Beyond. First Thomas Wayne Jr. (Owlman) is the Eldest Son of the Wayne Family & Terry Mcginnis is also the Eldest Son of his Family. Terry Mcginnis was raised by parents that were Psychologically Identical to Bruce's Parents. Does that mean that Terry Mcginnis represents as Thomas Wayne Jr. in Project Batman Beyond? Whereas, Matt McGinnis (Younger Brother) represents Bruce Wayne in the McGinnis Family?
