You forgot my favourite story, Actually Just A Bat, where Bruce sees his parents killed by criminals but because he's actually just a bat all he does is fly around and eat bugs for thirty pages.

"Batman makes a terrible Green Lantern" *Looks on over at Dawnbreaker* Yeah you're not wrong I'll give you that.

How about Alfred Pennyworth becoming Batman instead of Bruce Wayne... after his parents got shot, Bruce falls into a coma. Alfred promises Bruce that he'll find out who killed his parents and starts training. Being the caretaker of the last living Wayne, Alfred had access to the Wayne's wealth, so he used some of the money to create a protective suit and knowing Bruce's greatest fears, he made it look like a bat. After building the bat-cave with all the gadgets, Bruce wakes up and finds out that his parents killer has been captured by a vigilante called the Batman. Without the drive for vengeance, Bruce takes over his parents business and lives a normal life with Alfred at his side... not knowing that his butler was fighting crime as the Batman at night.

Not sure if it would step on the toes of "vampire bats", but the "Shanghai" batman is a pretty great alternate version in my opinion.

". . . You're gonna have to find it out yourself." *Pause.* *Turns on ad-block.* *Resumes video.*

The bizarro world batman - Batzarro, the world's worst detective.

Soviet Batman? More like Blyatman. Haha. Ok, I know the way to the door.

4:30 first Batman became Vampire, Now a Vampire Becomes Batman (Robert Pattinson)

"comics aren't exactly my forté" *owns a Channel about comics*

And this is why the Batman Who Laughs kills almost all alternate versions of Batman. Thank you, Batman Who Laughs.

Scott Snyder: HOLD MY BEER. *releases heavy metal series*

"Owl Batman," also known as Owlman

The Batman Who Laughs is the most evil but amazing Evil version of the Dark Knight because he killed the Justice League, gave Superman a Black Kryptonite that makes him kill his own family, reveal evil versions of the Justice League that’s they’re on their way to invade Earth, and even kill the Bat Family in his origin. How’s fucking insane is that?!

Wait, how the hell is Thomas Wayne from Flashpoint not on this list?

Hey, Dark Claw was freaking AWSOME. As was Amalgam Comics in general.

"Comics aren't exactly my forte" >WhatCulture Comics ...what?

Did he just start a video on a channel devoted to comic books with the line "Comic books aren't my forte??" Wow.....

* Spider-Man in Avengers: Infinity War * "You all seem so ready to do battle, but I've never done battle... I've just webbed some people and swung away..."

Title: 10 Insane Alternate Versions of Batman you won’t believe Exist WhatCulture:*Goes on to name some of the most iconic Batman Alternate versions*

When I heard you say “Ultraman”, I started thinking of the one that fought giant Kaiju for a second lol

You forgot Patrick Bateman.

Gotham by Gaslight sounds AMAZING!

This is really great

I'd really like to see an alternate Batman or Superman movie make the screen, it'd be something different and I'd like to see where a writer could go with a fully-fledged story adapted from one of the AU comics.

What about Red Death, Murder Machine, The Drowned, Devastator, Merciless, Dawnbreaker, or The Batman Who Laughs?

Could've filled most of the list with the Dark Knights

Pretty good!

Good vid daredevil alternate versions would be soo good

"Nazi Batman." Thanks! I hate it!

I'd like a remake of the Superman-Batman story. I think it'd pretty cool if Bruce's origin story remained intact and he still went through all that training to become Batman and just then when he started being a vigilant he developed Superman's powers and found out he's a kriptonian. Have he fight Lex Luthor(and the rest of Superman's villains) and The Joker(and the rest of Batman's villains) without mashing the two into the same character, keeping the "Bruce Wayne is Kar-El" as the only modification in the storyline and it'd be pretty great.

I'm the same as you bud, I don't read a lot of comics but love reading lore from wikis, and this channel is great for that.

when i was a young kid my neighbor showed me a picture of Dark Claw and i love that i got to see the image again, much more fun as a passing wow cool then a story id follow though hahaa, great video, batman is the coolest.

Owl man is not ecxactly a different batman he is a counterpart he doesn't count

I always like Vampire Batman. Hopefully he gets an animated movie someday.

I don't know exactly how to describe this; so, I'll just take a shot at it... There was a medieval looking Bat-Man who had all kinds of funky looking armor, including things, wings really, protruding from either side of his head/helmut that looked like bat wings. It was all a part of the armor. I have no idea which alternate Earth this character was in.

It's nice but u can also include flashpoint or darkest night..😊✌️..really liked your work..

You forgot the most important one... The Bat Who Laughs

"Batman makes a terrbile Green Lantern." Dawnbreaker: Well yes, but actually no.

Steampunk Joker Actually sounds pretty good!

Comic book fan here, you got a like just cause you’re honest and like to learn more

"1889 batman" aka segregation batman

Alternate spideys you didn’t know existed

I love that this appeared like a year after the alternate Superman one. I'm now expecting an alternate Green Lanterns one on 17/12/18

That Superman and Batman being the same person story sounds awesome!

I got baited by the Thomas Wayne flashpoint paradox thumbnail

"#7, Soviet Batman" Me: *screams soviet anthem*

The Amalgam Age of comics was awesome! Dark Claw and Bruce Wayne: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. were two of my favorites! 😄

3:17 "You see, Ivan"

"I don't know anything about comics" That's a lousy attempt to endear/engage the audience of a comic book themed channel. You need a journalism class or two, mate.

Batman who laughs

i recognized that street immediately at 0:44, by the pump room in harrogate, had to do a double take because i wasnt expecting to see my hometown in this video haha

I like you, you dont put ads every 2 minutes in your videos.

I would've thought thus list would consist of dark knightvmetal Batman

Maybe have the comic book fans to the comic book lists in the future? Just a thought

"Look out Figglehorn! It's a vampire bat!"

"Completely different entirely". I think we got it at first.

What about Holy Terror Batman?

Thomas wayne from flashpoint?

the gaslight move was bad ass I really thought Joker was going to be in that

Lol I love how comic books are considered weird to this guy but he'd rather make a fan fiction about two of his co-workers Good for you man.

Dark Claw (Logan Wayne) (Amalgam Universe; Earth-496)

Just so you know you pretty much did spoil Red Son at 3:27

I thought I had heard them all but then Bat-frankenstein comes up. Now I have to read it!

I remember Owlman in the crisis on two earths animated movie, his voice actor was amazing and made quite the impression.

There is a grammatic error in the title...

Ahhhh, Amalgam Comics.

To be fair, "Dark Claw" was meant as satire -- I forget the details, but I remember it was a limited-run series called "Amalgam" where they mashed together most of the Marvel big names with their DC more-or-less counterparts, the framework being that the Marvel and DC universes had been merged together in some cosmic accident.

I got that Superman/Batman comic book when I was in Jr. High... My Favorite...

Thats even Bat beyond

What about MARVEL's version of Batman...Tony Stark??

i got a question - i saw pages from (propably) gotham by gaslight that werent in my comic book . Is there another one? Is there couple of versions ?

Joker Batman really hits the feels man

04:31 Actually, I do. That was one of the first alternate universe stories I read. It was three part series, If I remember right they were named Red Rain, Bloodstorm and Crimson mist.

Does 🃏 bat count

I really thought the Batman who Laughs would be on here. Actually I think Dawnbreaker Batman is a better spin on if Bruce got a green Lantern than the classic one, Dark Nights Metal in general has given us some amazing alternate versions truly shocked none made an appearance.

DOPE

I like rich. I hope they keep him around.

3:53 Someone please clean that finger!!!!

I'd like to see more of Batman one million.

I think I’ve thought of 6/10 of these and/or talked about them in the past weekend alone... lol

I think what DC should do, in terms of films, to distinguish it from Marvel is to make a MULTIVERSE rather than an EXTENDED Universe. Then you can have multiple versions of characters released simultaneously because they exist in different universes. This could lead to, in the future, DC's own "Infinity War" epic crossover film like "Crisis on Infinite Planets" where characters from different universes come into contact and/or trade places. Maybe two or three versions of Batman come face to face. Maybe the Superman we know and love encounters or trades places with the Soviet Union Superman from The Red Son series where, in an alternate universe, Baby Kal-El arrives in the Soviet Union instead of Kansas. Think of all the possibilities, it would be awesome and different from Marvel!

it's earth 3 earth 2 is jay garrick's earth

I was expecting obscure Batmen, not Batmen I already knew about and have known about for years.

Vampire Batman is one of my favorites

There's a Doomsday Batman!

What about Batman Bin Suparman?

My favorite is still The Batman Who Laughs. That shit gets _weeeeeird._

The metal versions of Batman. (Dawn Breaker, Red Death, The Batman that Laughs etc.) They are all pretty cool ideas but making them any more than one-shot characters for the metal comic would be overkill. (They all literaly slaughter every other character of their own universe so basicly DeadPool kills the marvel universe except several times over so there is alot of BS.)

10 ) Leatherwing was one of the enforcers (i.e. a member of the Gerechtkeitliga) the Justice League Axis. As with the Gerechtkeitliga, Leatherwing joined Monarch and his army in waging war against the Monitors. (you forgot that part, numbnuts) 9) The Crime Syndicate was to have supervillian versions of the Justice league. Owlman, was simply the Batman of this group. Not specifically THE BATMAN- i quote " Originally(Pre-Crisis on infinite earths 1985), Owlman is an unnamed super-intelligent supervillain who was created as an evil counterpart to Batman and is a member of the criminal organization known as the Crime Syndicate of America who originated and operated on the reverse Earth-Three." Otherversions like EARTH-3 OF the modern age of comics is designed after after Roy Raymond (1992 NEW EARTH) and yes, is Thomas Wayne . Jr from Both the Antimatter universe (Earth-2, in 2000) AND now on Earth 3, 2011 to current. (so yes, you are correct, mostly- you have mixed up the two thomas Wayne jr versions- the modern Owlman hasn't boinked superwoman, that was the other one) 8) Gotham by Gaslight (else worlds) (Earth-19) In the 19th century, Bruce Wayne recalls the murder of his parents by a highwayman and remembers the bats which swarmed over the murderer. Takes Palce in Vienna, NOT Gotham. dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman:_Gotham_by_Gaslight 7) RED SON Batman: Batman (Earth-30)-The son of a pair of dissidents, the boy who would become the Batman saw his parents get gunned down by Stalin's police force, and vowed revenge against Pyotr Roslov, the captain of the police. dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman_(Earth-30) read the entry here. very detailed. (also it's Despite his personal vendetta, however, ROSLOV managed to convince Batman to help him eliminate Superman, arguing that with Superman out of the way, Batman's quest to kill Roslov would be more easily accomplished. NOT LEX LUTHOR) 6) Batman: In Darkest Knight- elseworlds (Earth 32 *which yes in current Metal stories has been revisited but ISN'T the same exact place so shut up with the Dawnbringer crap*..) Bruce Wayne slumps in a chair, bleeding from wounds sustained in a fight with a woman in the East End, and asks his father for guidance. Outside a bat flies past the window, witness to a green projectile plummet from the sky. A voice rouses Bruce from his though and sees spirit of an alien materialise above his father's bust. He dismisses the vision as a hallucination from loss of blood, until the alien uses his power to heal Bruce's wounds. read more here: dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman:_In_Darkest_Knight 5) Bruce Wayne (Earth-43)- After discovering that the fabled vampire, Dracula, was still alive and well in Gotham City, Batman realises that recent strange dreams were the result of him being visited by Tanya, a rogue vampire who managed to break free from Dracula's control. With Tanya biting him without actually draining blood, she has infused him with the powers of a vampire without destroying his humanity. read more here: dc.wikia.com/wiki/Bruce_Wayne_(Earth-43) however refered to here; is specifically what starts out in Batman and Dracula: Red Rain, continues in Batman Bloodstorm and Batman Crimson mist, the Batman Vampire Trilogy. 4) Batman: Castle of the Bat - dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman:_Castle_of_the_Bat and read more here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman:_Castle_of_the_Bat Batman Castle of the Bat is a DC Comics Elseworlds special published in 1994. Written by Jack C. Harris with art by Bo Hampton as the artist and Tracy Hampton-Munsey as the letterer. In 1819 a troubled Bruce Wayne revives his father from the dead. The story is loosely based on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and the Frankenstein classic black-and-white movie featuring Boris Karloff. 3) (something that should never happen fyi) Stan Lee's Just Imagine: Batman Vol 1 1 read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Imagine...#Batman Batman, real name Wayne Williams, debuted in Just Imagine Stan Lee with Joe Kubert Creating Batman (September 2001). Creators Stan Lee and Joe Kubert based this version on the character created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Like the original, this Batman has no superpowers. Unlike Bruce Wayne, Wayne Williams is African-American (no such thing he's a Black American), instead of Caucasian. He is in excellent physical condition, and has a vast personal fortune allowing him access to custom equipment including: night vision lenses, Kevlar costume and sensors to magnify sound and cape-like bat wings to glide. on a personal note, while i don't have an issue of a "Black Batman"- (Luke Fox as BATWING WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME)- I think this is an amalgamation of sorts. There is a Story called "The Batman Nobody Knows" from 1973, Issue 250. where Bruce takes kids camping and they discuss what they think Batman looks like. And I'm betting that Stan Lee "borrowed" from it. read it here: readcomiconline.to/Comic/Batman-1940/Issue-250?id=17864 and you be the judge - also in Stan Lee's Batman he looks more like MAN-BAT outfit wise... 2) Ah Speeding Bullets.... Superman: Speeding Bullets(one has to wonder if this qaulifies as a BATMAN story) dc.wikia.com/wiki/Superman:_Speeding_Bullets read it, because it's too damn long to type out. Needless to say second verse same as the first, joe chill kills the waynes, Supes... I mean bats hits him with heat vision, grows up, so on and so on... Lex becomes the joker and Lois Still gets her man. 1) .. speaking of things people shouldn't touch: The Amalgam Universe. Remember when DC and Marvel actually got along? yeah. me neither, the 1990s sucked ass. Anyway! Dark Claw... (insert inspector gadget joke here) At the age of 5, after witnessing his parents' murder at the hands of an armed robber, Logan Wayne was sent to live with his uncle in Alberta, Canada. His uncle was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and was ambushed and murdered by poachers a short time after his arrival in Canada. After the death of his uncle, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police sent Logan to live in a home run by nuns and as soon as he was old enough, he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force, landing in the same outfit as Creed H. Quinn. Sabre-joker...or what teh fuck was his name? oh yeah the Cackling Canine... yeesh.. Read more here: dc.wikia.com/wiki/Logan_Wayne_(Amalgam_Universe) Everyone i have known named Logan is a jackass. Must be the name.

FYI: Iron Man, Black Panther, and Moon Knight are not ripoffs of Batman. If you think so, you're stupid. There's a difference between "ripoff" and "inspired". Tony Stark is smarter, has more advanced tech, and is a lot more charismatic. Black Panther is the genius king of an isolated futuristic African nation and has hosted the Panther goddess, Bast. And Moon Knight is the avatar of the Egyptian moon god of vengeance and madness, suffers from multiple-personality disorder, and isn't nearly as smart or as rich as Bats.

this is the most surface level collection of elseworld batmen

you'll have to do a part 2 since the metal events... maybe please

Not first

"Interracial relationship" If he's doing an alien that would be interspecies rather than just racial

3:40 heeeeey you should complete what you started OK! You have left us all in the lurch don't do that dude!

And now introducing, Batman Ninja!!!

My favorite batman is Thomas Wayne he is the better batman then Bruce Wayne

first

I like owlman the best cuz he’s basically Lincoln March from court of owls on an evil justice league.

I love them all.
