The strongest armor Batman had against Superman was not his suit, but his friendship with Clark. He knows Clark well enough to know he would never cross that line with him. When Bruce chuckles and says "Oh, you're not going to kill me." He isn't just suggesting he will win this battle, but commenting on how silly Clark's suggestion was that he had it in him to kill him.

Superman fanboys really like to do mental gymnastics but sure Superman is too compassionate for his own good. Hardly matters, exploiting any weakness he has is the point. Batman didn't have to drag this battle out either and could have exposed Clarke to that kryptonite in numerous ways or a more lethal dose as he pointed out. Physical strength only means so much

@HarryK-ld2ed 11 ай бұрын

@@gemelwalters2942 No, Batman couldn't have exposed Superman to the kryptonite mix any other way. Batman needed Superman's guard down. When he was on his knees, Superman let his guard down and so was exposed to the kryptonite attack. I'm a Batman fan till death, but I'm smart enough to know that Batman only wins against Superman because Superman would never hurt Bruce fatally. As Batman himself once said, "Deep down, Clark's a good guy. And deep down, I'm not."

@@HarryK-ld2ed This. Batman knows no matter how physically weakened he is, when he's dialed in and fighting, Superman's sensory abilities are still off the charts, nearly bordering on sensory omniscience in a radius around him. But he's dramatically physically weakened, so while Batman couldn't BEAT Superman straight up, he could certainly do enough damage to keep Superman distracted. And someone else to deploy the synthetic kryptonite is vital; he couldn't risk the suit getting damaged in a way that made deploying the kryptonite impossible, or reveal it too early. Make Superman think he's won the fight. Hit him hard enough to make him really believe Batman's trying to win, to out-fight him, and has lost. Make Superman ask Batman to surrender. Then, and only then, when he lowers his guard and tries to talk Bruce down, will that arrow get close enough to release its payload. This is the best version of the Batman vs Superman argument. In a way, they both win and they both lose. Superman wins the fight, sure. He beats Batman in a contest of pure physical combat. But Batman won the battle; he maneuvered Superman into a losing position through the use of outside help and the right tools at the right time at the right place.

"All the people I've murdered, by letting you live." "I never kept count." "I did." "I know. And I love you for it." These few lines says so much about not only Batman's guilt but just how much Joker was always aware of it and how it shaped their very warped relationship.

I know not everyone cared for Michael Emerson's Joker, but I really enjoyed him. For some reason, his nasally voice worked for me. The scene at the carnival with the Joker just shooting people down...yeah, it's sadly a little too realistic because of the world we live in; but this is not a criticism of the movie/ graphic novel. I love how the double entendres in the dialogue make Batman and the Joker similar to an old married couple, hats off to Frank Miller.

@jynxce Жыл бұрын

For me, this would be the natural conclusion to Batman & Joker's final conflict. This Joker shows just how ruthless, unhinged and chaotic he would be at his end. The belief that it would go any other way just isn't as plausible. Plus, no one but Miller would have the cojones to produce this vision of their final days.

He essentially Merged The Vail of Court of Owls with the function and hierarchy of Legue of Shadows driven by the goals of The Justice League.

The “operating table/surgeon” line to the Mutant Leader & the “I want you to remember the one man who beat you” line to Superman gave me chills. Definitely in my top DC animated movies along with Batman: Under the Red Hood, the Flashpoint Paradox, Crisis on Two Earths, The Long Halloween, & Batman vs. TMNT. I’d definitely recommend you guys react to the 90s - mid 2000s DCAU from Batman: The Animated Series to Justice League Unlimited (including the classic Mask of the Phantasm & Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker). It’s the best media DC has put out IMO & hopefully a great inspiration for the new DCU. As for Marvel animation, you should definitely see X-Men: TAS, The Spectacular Spider-Man, & Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

I always see a lot of debate on how exactly the joker died here, whether it was immediately when Batman snapped his neck and the rest was in Batman’s mind, or if Batman only broke the neck to the point of paralysis from the neck down, and joker completed it himself with sheer force of will. Both seem equally plausible and make sense for both characters and the overall narrative of their respective insanity, and both fit with the visual we see. Interested to know your thoughts on it, as I personally am for the Batman hallucination form, but I also appreciate the openness to interpretation of the scene.

I always love that the Joker went catatonic when Batman left but wakes up with "darling" when he sees he is back. They also showcase that Superman is a boy scout which we know already but Batman can fight him effectively because he knows Clark doesn't kill. Batman is a hero but he is not a good person. He will use any weakness he can to win and the fact that Clark is not a killer gives him just enough room to do some damage.

@dcworld4349 Жыл бұрын

It's not really the life force, he absorbs the radiation in the grass and flowers that it gets from the sun. The only reason it decays is that he's also full of nuclear radiation. Its why if he dies and you can't get his body into the sun, bury him in a shallow grave preferably in a forest that gets a lot of sun. He'll eventually heal. So long as the body is intact and he isn't missing his head the body keeps repairing itself. It's just a slower healing factor when he's technically dead.

I will always love the graphic novel, as it’s the one piece of literature that vastly popularized the idea that this human dude in a batsuit could whoop anyone’s ass if given time to prep haha. A very real truth hehe, on top of the fact that he has some ridiculously powerful versions/iterations. Batman, from that comic on has now had so many broken iterations and shown how powerful his mind, skills, and resources are. People saying superman was weakened and Batman had additional help are all true, but remember Batman unlike Superman was old. On top of that Batman did not have the same resources or Allie’s as his younger years, and on top of that Superman had the military helping him. Then you can also say neither was trying to kill the other(especially Superman), so neither was going all out. I think that writing it in such a way, and adding that ambiguity(despite the batman win) is what makes this such an iconic fight. I still love it though that this fight sort of allowed other comic book writers to create iterations of batman that are considered top 50 strongest characters of all time in the dc universe. We have a normal human with god level powers and in standing with other god like beings because of this comic. Friends, resources, skill, training, and intelligence are vastly superior to any power/brute force. Batman=Broken

If you notice, both final battles of Part 1 and Part 2 have Batman win based on what TV Tropes would call a "Batman gambit." Where the hero makes a plan by gambling on the emotions or tendencies of the opponent to secure a win. He gambled that the Mutant Leader would take the obvious opportunity to escape jail, and he knew the Mutants were easily led sheep who would accept a rumored command from their boss without question. And when Batman told Superman in the fight that Supes wouldn't kill him, he was right. Superman could have easily flown through Bruce at Mach 2 and left him splattered on the pavement, but Batman figured Superman's emotional connection (plus the other weakening events) would convince Superman to hold back.

In the comic book Batman does actually kill the Joker. Aside from the fact that people can't turn their own neck after being paralyzed frok the neck down, the part where joker gloats to Batman "that he made him lose control" is actually written in Batman's thought bubble color with it never actually coming out of his mouth. Essentially the whole scene in in Bruse's head, in order to make the kill not his fault. There's a lot of scenes in TDKR that illustrate his questionable sanity.

However me and many others loved the live action representation of the Dark Knight returns movie and man watching both back to back again was awesome. In the Dark Knight Returns and BVS they made it believable for Batman to win a fight against Superman. Also by staying true to Superman character, because he wouldn’t just go up and try to kill Batman.

I got to listen to Frank Miller talk about this version of Batman at comic con, I loved his panel and his passion, and at his age still going hard! He's very much like this Batman, doesnt matter the age just wants to do his work because he's driven

Love that you guys will be watching Apocalypse War, which reset the DC animated movie universe. And it will be only a few weeks after the Flash movie premieres. Jumping straight into 2 completely new timelines

One thing I can say... This is how you make a Batman v. Superman.

@mray4784 Жыл бұрын

Not really, the real Superman would never be the dog of a country. In all the Batman v Superman, Batman is always the "good guy" who has to defeat with a lot of plot armor the evil/controled/stupid Superman.

The best, no the GREATEST animated DC movie of all times! I freaking love it. Everything in it is great and Frank Miller did a great comic book before the adaptation. I wish there were a sequel to it just as great as this one.

DAMN !!! I commented on the part 1 video saying how excited I was for y’all to watch part 2 but didn’t think it would come this fast!!! What a gift to wake up to the day after seeing Spider Verse and Transformers (which had an absolutely insane twist at the end)

I was in college when these movie came out, and I had grown up reading this story and the second one. Loved this adaptation. My second favorite adaptation is the animated series where Batman was voiced by Micheal Ironside and they showed the mud pit fight.

A Logan style Batman movie with this plot. I'll wait. Can you imagine the imagery if they go all out? Brute Batman, Batman riding a horse, scary Joker on a killing spree, a zombie-like Supes in space during the Nuke scene?

The neck snap was hallucinated by Batman. He did kill him but he made himself believe Joker did it as a final taunt to him so he could still believe he hadn’t broken his code.
