It’s funny cause the Devastator seems like the least evil Batman. Yeah, he turns into Doomsday, but he seems to still have his mental faculties and even laments that he couldn’t save more people

These villain based on Batman nightmares Batman who laughs- when joker wins Red Death- not fast enough Murder machine- Losing Alfred Dawnbreaker- get this will of killing gets the better of him Drowned- believing the truce doesn't say that Merciless- losing his love and power gets the best of him Devastator- Superman going rogue

Fun fact: the robins will say “crow”. Batman makes the robins heel by saying “bar” Crowbar

Those seven versions of Batman are kind of proof, that Batman can be the most dangerous person to the entire justice league and the planet if he ever snapped, in those cases, he did

Watching the batman who laughs kill not only the bat family but also watching him make superman and his son jon get exposed to that black kryptonite to tear lois lane his wife was really messed up in my opinion

Normies: batman isn't that strong Literally every evil batman from the metal series:

Devastator Batman is by far my favorite. It’s a more realistic scenario to me...instead of the usual fight where Batman always catches Superman off guard with some form of Kryptonite. It takes Batman literally sacrificing himself to become a monster. And the emotional angle is powerful! Superman was the only person Batman says he believed in, that he hoped could bring a better future. In way Batman becoming Devastator is Batman giving up the last piece of hope/humanity he had for the world.

When you think about it Batman is a better villain then every villain in the dc universe

"Something you weren't prepared for..." I think jason was

Fun Fact, each Batman is from a Negative Earth that's similar to a positive Earth in the DC Multiverse Laughs: Earth -22, on regular 22 (the Kingdom Come story) Joker dies. Red Death: Earth -52, parallels Earth 0 (the main one) the universe made after Flashpoint. Murder Machine: Earth -44, parallels Earth 44, where robots replace the Justice League Dawnbreaker: Earth -32, on regular 32 there's also a Lantern Batman Drowned: Earth -11 and +11 are both Gender-swap. Merciless: Earth -12. Earth +12 is the Justice League/Batman Beyond cartoon, where Batman and Wonder Woman are totally crushing on each other. Devastator: Earth -1. Earth One is a gritty, realistic series that started with Batman and Superman. Earth -1 ends with the two.

The Drowned is my favorite. I imagine that she could kick Aquaman's ass in a fight any day. And the fact that she augmented her body while she was still awake. Now that's what I call Metal.

0:36 The batman who laughs 3:53 The red death 6:13 The murder machine 8:14 The dawnbreaker 9:34 The drowned 11:03 The merciless 12:35 The devastator

I like it if they would make an animated movie of Dark Knight Metal it will be DC Animations greatest film :D

Dawnbreaker and red death definitely badass.

Red Death has to be my favourite. It shows how much responsibility The Flash has and also because Flash’s parents also died, he could just be like Red Death. Absolutely amazing!

The Batman who laughs is so creepy

did anyone realis that red hood tried to shoot batman

The Merciless was so badass, he went full Kratos and stormed Olympus

Doomsday Batman doesn’t seem to actually be evil or a villain, he might be the most sane of them all. if anything he was manipulated by the batman who laughs into joining him in his multi-versal campaign of domination and destruction because he recently murdered his friend and his mind would be so devastated and broken. Like batman is all tough and gruff and "I'm willing to put you down if that is what it takes to keep others safe" but they are friends, batmans and superman are friends, and if he had to kill him and essentially turn into superman worst enemy just to "keep others safe"

*The batman who laughts is a 2008 creppypasta in a nuthsell*

I wish they would have elaborated on The Merciless' and The Devastator's origins because they are insanely badass. I like all the Dark Knights, but my three favorites are hands down Red Death, Dawnbreaker, and The Batman Who Laughs.

Devastator surprisingly seems like the most sympathetic of the Dark Knights. He was like, the only one who didn't directly kill everyone.

The Red Death has got to be my favorite. Something about that bat symbol with the flashes streak of lightning going down the middle. They managed to combine their symbols and simultaneously make it look like the bat symbol is broken to represent that the Batman he use to be is no more. No to mention the sweet power combination. A person with already genius intellect given the ability to access the speed force? I mean come on. Any idea, invention or plan he has would have already been thought up, concepted, tested, retested and then created, all in the time it took you to blink. Scary stuff.

"He tortures them by killing their parents in front of them--" Me: *OF COURSE--*

I like how each Night represents aspects one can see with Batman. Laughs is the arugument that both Joker and Bats are one in the same. Red Death is how Batman will cross lines when his loved ones die with the lost of his family, as seen after Jason Todd died, or when Alexsnder Luthor nearly killed Nightwing. Murder Machine is his coping mechanism bring Alfred after his parents died, being flipped on IT'S head. Dawnbreaker is basically fueled by his patents death and willpower, just in the wrong direction. Merciless is how some might see Batman's method of stopping crime, as well his high moral standing, can come off as more a despot. As seen with Frank Miller's Batman in the Dark Knight Returns. Drowned is Batman's paranoia of metahumans in general. Which given the whole Doctor Kight mind erasing and the creation of Brother Eye, isn't exactly unfounded. Devastator is basically what Bats can assume of Supes, on the worst day of his life. Injustice, BvS, even the fact that Bats keeps a shard of kryptonite on him back then.

2:28 I like how even tho red hood is shot in the head he’s still ready with his gun

So basically these Batmen are based on his Nightmares. The Batman who laughs-If Joker won The Red Death-Not being able to save people in time The Murder Machine-Losing Alfred The Dawnbreaker-His need for vengeance getting the better of him The Drowned-If Aquaman caused a flood upon Gotham The Merciless-Losing a loved interest The Devastator-If Superman got hypnotised and went feral

The merciless Batman is a pair of blades away from a lawsuit...I officially dub him Bat Kratos

Red Death and Batman who Laughs are just sad. In Red Death he rips Barry apart and in BWL he forces Superman to murder his own family. My personal favorite story of the lot is a tie between Merciless and Devastator

I've allways loved that red hood managed to shoot back when the batman who laughs kills them all. Really shows how he never truly let's his guard down

It's cool how they're all Batman combined with a different character. I love these guys, especially Batman who Laughs

I loved the art for the Batman Who Laughs Comic Book.

Red Death = Best Looking Batman Batman Who Laughs = Best Story

The Red Death was mentioned in the flash show. they said that in the show: "cicada killed more people than the reverse flash and the red death" So basically red death exists in CW'S ArrowVerse. and may appear on the flash in a future episode or season

This needs to be adapted in the DCEU, much like the infinity saga of MCU

So the equivalencies to the Justice league is Batman who laughs: Batman Red death: flash Murder machine: cyborg Dawn breaker: Green lantern Drowned: Aquaman/Aquawoman/ Wonder woman Merciless: Wonder woman, possibly Devastator: Superman

My favorite is Red Death he's really cool

Batman who laughs & the Drowned are definitely my two favorites

I like the Drowned the best. I think that her and the Doomsday Batman may be able to be talked into becoming good guys again.

So...The Murder Machine is basically a Cyberman from Doctor Who?

*MAXIMUM EDGE*

Dawnbreaker, The Drowned and Murder Machine are my favorite. I think they did such an amazing job with this story.

My favourite is actually the Devastator, because after all, it wasn't his fault. He had to become a villanous monster to stop another villain and lost everything in the process, including his humanity

The Batman Who Laughs. He's the stuff that nightmares are made of.

I love how jason is the one with the gun, willing to kill bruce considering he is arguably the most loyal there

My favorite Dark Multiverse is the Grim Knight, because he’s basically Batman merged with Punisher, Deathstroke, and Deadshot.

The first Batman from the Negative Multiverse that I had heard about was Red Death Batman, and I really loved his character, not just because I'm a massive fan of The Flash and speedsters, but because his story managed to grip my attention when I first heard about it, even after they arrived in the multiverse/main Earth.

Wow that was awesome and disturbing favorite ones are the one who laughs the Red Death and Dawnbreaker I particularly liked Dawnbreaker because it was like an interesting twist to Bruce as a young boy instead of feeling scared and Afraid there was no fear.

This is my order of the top 3 fav. For me 1.The Batman Who Laughs 2.DawnBreaker 3.Red Death

Most other “evil” versions of Batman were just trying to make the world a better place and saving their love ones through their twisted ways, but the Batman who laughs is just straight up a psychopath

Really poves how unstable Bruce Wayne really is. The Flash version, the Doomsday version and the Ares version I could genuinely see happening.

EVERY villain who isn't out for chaos thinks they are the good guy. Good and evil is no absolute. It's a matter of perspective.

The best origin was the Batman who Laughs and my favorite is the Red Death

The batman who laughs is the creepiest, but his origin story is awesome

I am not really into that type of comics but finding someone who can explains all this in nice and detailed way is really joyful

Should do nightmare version of other DC heroes, like Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (don't know it either Hal, Guy, John, Jessica, Simon, or Kyle), Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Nightwing, Supergirl, Blue Beetle, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, Robin, Kid Flash, Black Lightning, Static, or any one else?

The details about the origins of the seven evil versions of Batmen was very interesting, and to add bizarre as well. To add they all seem like slightly possible event stories that bring a very unique out look on the portrayals; About each one of these the Batmen from the alternate realities.

Every evil doer in Gotham would most likely retire en mass when word got out that a new Batman is in town with all the powers and strength of Doomsday! Actually, I bet crime rates would plummet worldwide. What's that? Batman is now unkillable and he can throw a building at you? Love, Peace & Chicken Grease. I'm out!

Probably THE most underrated KZfaqr

Great video, thanks.. My favorite is the red death , you didn't mention the fact that he leaves dead bats behind when he run .. How beautiful is it not =)))

My favorite design is red death batman And Dawn breakers constructs are so cool Love the love craftian look.

This video was very well put together. I enjoyed the little clips in between segments and what not.

Love watching your videos, this is one of my favorite series of comics. Hope to see if you would do more origin stories for characters in the Dark Multiverse! 🙌🏽😃

Love Batman who laughs and he so dark with that toxin and a super murder and i like it :)

Needlemouse: He storms Mount Olympus Kratos: Im about to end this man's whole career

Sounds awesome and the art is fantastic.

I just recently finished collecting all of the dark Knight metals multi-verse figures, with my last piece being the drowned. I really enjoyed the video, and I have subscribed. Thank you

The one thing I always wondered after finishing the series was why the dawnbreaker looks pretty fit and healthy in his origin comic... and then on metal looks like he barely survived a lethal dose of radiation...

In a way The Batman who laughs is like their hero,sure his intentions are evil but he saves each of them from dying along with their world,if it weren’t for him they’d all be dead along with their worlds

I just accidentally binged a few videos and I love your content. I can catch up on my DC knowledge as I make my fail commutes.

I love this freaking channel

I love dark knights metal and I thought it was a epic event ;)

my favorite of these batmen/women is The drowned, mainly because i can actually see this happening. After all Batman is the most paranoid person in the history of the world. except for maybe mad-eye moody from the harry potter series.

Thank you! This helped a lot!

great video. Thanks for explaining it

DC is just dominated the animated world and the comic world......but live action.....ummm not so much

Evil Green Lantern Batman is my favorite, cuz the costume looks great and he's freaking Batman with a Green Lantern ring, he's damn near unstoppable.

This is really good keep them coming 👍👍👍👏👏

These are so terrifying and awesome at the same time. DC comics is so good with their alternate/elseworlds interpretations

I wonder what the other JL members dark versions are like?

My favorite is Dawnbreaker

Really awesome writing

I never came into reading them, so i was really curious about those Dark Knights. (Kinda missed the first comics starting this event, and then i got confused with all the issues and collections) JEEEZZZ DAMN! They are really heavy metal! :D The creativity behind those characters is amazing!

They are so BADASS

this is a good video.

I think the Batman who Laughs & Dawnbreaker are one of my coolest darks nights & Devastator’s backstory is one of the best!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SERIES

Cool video NeedleMouse :]

I'm torn between the Drown, the Merciless and of course the Batman Who Laughs.

The Red Death deserved a happier ending. I know what happens later, and that's alright, but really his world should've lasted longer, and it wasn't like he was killing innocent people before he signed up with the Batman Who Laughs.

Nice video!

Bat man who laughs had the beat origin, because it provides a perfect reason as to why Batman should never kill the Joker.

I like the symbolism on how all the batmen are versions of the justice league and the Batman who laughs is Joker version of Batman

I like The Red Death

when you make videos your voice hust makes my day when i watch one of your videos i hear your voice and i just need to watch more of your videos

Loved it

Let’s be real, if any anime characters faced the Nightmare Batman, they’d shit themselves.

Red death is so cool

Good job men love this video

Awesome!

Red Death is my favorite of them, since Flash is my favorite hero, but Murder Machine has the best Origin in my opinion
