​@@HPMCCPooTis He feigned the shock to trick superman into giving him more prep time. He truly is ten steps ahead.

I thought the joke was going to be that if his parents had prep time, Batman wouldn't exist, so what would be Batman's prep-time plan for ensuring his parents wouldn't have prep time and securing his own existence?

I’ll have a funny reply for this comment ready! …in 5 to 10 business days

what if this video came at you like, 15 seconds from now

But that’s why we had prep time before this video came out so that we could plan for the prep time we’d need fo an eventual funny comment to be made when the video hypothetically would have come early than initially thought

​@@Toastguy716 What you mean he had prep time for his prep time?

​@@Pyxis10 for the prep time's prep time from the prep time of prepping to prepare for prepping.

Bane revealed Batman's Achilles' Heel. Just keep giving him sidequests and attack him at B. Batman cannot resist.

Sounds like bane understood the value of prep time

In the comic where Green Lantern kills Batman he *checks notes* destroys the entirety of DC aside from a tiny pocket dimension. (Zero Hour) Somehow Batman’s prep time didn’t counter all of time and space being turned to nothing. ---------- Batman also gets Superman’s powers at one point but it kinda drives him nutty. He takes down the Justice League who are trying to calm him. You know who beats Kryptonian level Batman? Clark freaking Kent with prep time. Concocts some science/magic thing with some help from Zatanna to swap them back and actually mentally outplays Batman. ----------- Darkseid omega beams him. But Batman shoots him with a god killing bullet (breaking his vow) before he gets got (and we get an awesome scene of bloodlusted Superman holding Batman’s skeleton). ------------ Eobard Thawne beats the tar out of Batman and mentally tortured him a bit before Manhattan of all people kills Thawne (for a bit… it’s Thawne he doesn’t die) ---------- That’s all his major deaths/losses off the top of my head. Funnily enough I don’t think he ever really prepped for any of them. But after he HATED Green Lantern and was super suspicious/paranoid of him, he got a suit that could hold off Darkseid and Flash helps him after Thawne attacks so maybe Batman asked for some tips.

Do you mean to say that bane countered batman's prep time with his own prep time?

He won because he didn’t let Batman have his prep time to win!

Because he had prep time to build the laser. Those don't grow on trees

No he said T-5 minutes which could be be never if T is infinity, he did also tell them to prepare

"I guess that works alright byeeee" - Lex Luther

I wouldn't be surprised if Lex did that just to mess with Superman.

​@@dolphindiverbct8297 ...what. "T" is commonly used to refer to start time, especially for launches or operations. "T-5 minutes" means 5 minutes before start. I'm now going to put a 🤓 here for myself on the off chance you were being sarcastic and already knew that

a lot of super villains enjoy the company of there hero and see it as a game more than anything. it's like Megamind

Oh Lex and Bruce are business partners, this whole thing is just like going golfing or visiting Epstein Island, it's how the ultra rich pass the time and maintain their networks

well he's also a businessman he values the 5-10 business days.

Lex and Bruce went to the same prep school.

I was under the vague impression Luthor was being sarcastic and didn’t stick around to see that nobody noticed.

Luthor actually bugged the building and did it just to screw with Superman.

​@@MrDj232 Luther used the sometimes hero, sometimes villain, named MEANWHILE to spy on them.

Well, he is a bureaucrat, all things considered

Luthor understands prep time. He's not he beating superman with out it.

"Yeah whatever Clark how about you get real!" *Mind F*ck ensues*

Silver Age level of Bat Power 😆

All he needed was the 2 minutes of prep time to do it

​@@stevehagen9804 meaning before this video started, Batman was already prepared to convince Superman that Prep Time beats everything. Not only did Luthor agree with Batman's terms, but Superman was outed as the bad guy with his batman's parents comment and then proceeded to blow Clark's mind with the get real statement.

Damn. Could've been in the video.

Damn that wouldve been dope too

Superman: If your dad had prep-time he would've worn a condom.

Damn Batman is not coming back from that one

Batman only had 0.5 seconds of prep time for that one too, that's why he's the best

I appreciate this video's honesty in backing up my point about prep time.

Shit got me good 😂

Came out of nowhere, I didn’t have prep time for that joke.

He prep time that one lol.

It really goes to show that "prep time" is just an excuse to make Batman win all the time

This is literally a Not True Scotsman logical fallacy. We can state that there is enough prep time only when its amount ensures Batman's victory. Therefore, statement "Batman can defeat amyone if given enough prep time" is circular and holds no meaning.

​@@user-nx1wv2ws6rWell, it assumes he's not gonna die of old age first

Lol

Honestly when I heard that one I facepalmed, like, come on superman, of all the things Batman's gone through, his parents' death was one that prep time could actually completely negate

He's probably thought about it for years so Batman had the prep time ready already to quickly respond to Superman. Batman: 1 Superman: 0 Batman's Parents: 0

Just arrived after Batman's prep time for the argument. And Batman won the argument.

its the american way

They did, they just didn't take advantage of it. Supermans dad wanted to put all of them in the phantom zone and then have one kryptonian in a rocket go to another planet and release everyone. They didn't listen, so he sent his only son instead to a safe place.

@@ChestRockwell24this just proves prep time solves everything

Intelligence and resources play a role too. Batman is a billionaire with access to high levels of tech, Superman is an alien who has access to advanced tech from his planet. Even among super heroes having resources at that level is rare. Give a random thug 1 year to kill Superman and there is a high probability he will come up with nothing. Oh he might know kryptonite exists, but he won't have the resources to acquire it.

​@ChestRockwell24 he could get a small amount

@@tfordham13 A random thug? Naah. This isnt the tv show "Smallville" where you can find it on every random street corner. In the comics Superman and his allies actually went around collecting most of it. Is it impossible to get? No, but sorry nope no random thug is getting their hands on genuine kryptonite. And he'd be dead before he could even pull it out of his pocket anyways. Superman could vaporize him from orbit. Oh sure Superman normally wouldnt vaporize a guy, but then again random thugs dont normally get kryptonite either. So if we're gonna toss normalcy out the window lets have fun with it. BTW Superman survived a nuclear bomb while exposed to kryptonite, but sure a "little bit" will do it ;)

its cuz he already had prep time 🙄

Because preptime applies to everybody who's not crippled in their entire body or in a coma. If batman gets prep-time then so does whomever he's fighting too

And now they're compelled to give him an eon. Truly, prep time is a superpower.

an eon is nothing compared to prep time

Batgod can have as much time as he needs because something something prep time.

I mean. Its been a staple of comedy for ages

Kevlar 😂

i mea if i know im gonna get shot latter im wearing a bullet proff vest and bring so body grouds for aids maybe sending them to line the theather to the house with out brouce know i mean if wayne tech has the funds for bat man they could hire people

yeah thats the joke, thanks for repeating it

“They would’ve worn Kevlar!”

Of course he's not, he's Batman lol

Or I always have kryptonite in my pocket

To be fair too, the times where Batman DOES lose, it's because he simply did not have enough prep time.

@@kubamcmillan3078 I was waiting for that to be the joke for I'm going to get you in 15 seconds joke. Just batman acting unprepared and then whipping out some kryptonite. "I never leave home without it."

It is a little fishy how Batman is allowed prep time yet literally no other character he’s fighting in these hypotheticals ever get any.

These sorts of fanboys may have actually tarnished Batman a little for me cause of how mixed I am on it. Apart of me loves bats being a badass, but part of that definitely just came from his ingenuity and ability to problem solve when he DIDNT have a plan It just made him seem so cool to see him on the back foot rather than literally always be in control by treating him like someone who truly is only human

The important thing to remember is that each second he isn't in a fight is a piece of prep time he's using. He's constantly got more and more plans and backups for backups. You wouldn't need to give him time to get ready. You'd have to race to kill him before he pulls out your hyper-specialised maguffin.

Bean don't play that game.

Doesnt that apply to everybody who's not crippled in their entire body or in a coma?

@@kieranadamson3224 that's only planning. Not prep time. If a fight between him and Flash suddenly happened, Batman wouldn't be prepared despite the fact he planned. He has to _know_ the fight will happen to take advantage of his planning. He doesn't have an infinite inventory to keep all of his plans in.

“You know, 15 seconds is actually a lot of time” *If only she’d understand that*

That’s what people who don’t prepare say. PREP TIME

Ok but Batman keeps kryptonite in his belt in several different forms he has kryptonite knuckle dusters a kryptonite shard a kryptonite knife bro has kryptonite chewing gum and has kryptonite in his blood bro is literally the anti super man equation

@@A_Terrible_Person Lex Luthor did the same thing and it gave him cancer.

@@Tianyulong sounds like he didn't prep for the cancer. Rookie mistake.

​@@A_Terrible_Person Superman could literally just look at batman's head and make it explode with heat vision, superheroes like Batman stay alive because the writers want them to

That game makes you FEEL like Batman

@@StateOfTheMind11225 It sure does

@@StateOfTheMind11225 if there was one Arkham game that didn’t give Batman vibes, which would it be? I’d say either Origins or Asylum. They don’t have that free roam map like Arkham city and Knight.

Origin’s definitely

Honestly, I love that part in Arkham Knight the best. The options with which the player can choose to dispatch your opponents. I can sorta tell what platform you were on just by your descriptors alone. Was it on Miagani?

Bet he used the prep time to bribe Luthor to call in at that exact moment.

@@Eshiay bribe? He came up with Luthor's entire plan, and strategically placed them in his office, so he'd find them at the exact right time. Making him think he'd come up with them and forgot

@@iambatsmurfette7194 LMAO

​@@Eshiay Knowing how these skits work, Luthor was having this exact conversation with the Legion of Doom and decided to phone the Justice League to make a point *Joker:* Look, Lex, you're not always going to have prep time. Sometimes, you just have to go out there and be spontaneous. *Luthor:* That might work for you, but a good plan makes for good results! Imagine if you were fighting Batman but spent the past two weeks preparing. *Bane:* Two years would be better *Luthor:* Look, Bane, it's Joker. We need to start small *Joker:* That sounds a lot like waiting. Why wouldn't I just attack Batman at this very moment? *Luthor:* Joker, I see you're not getting the point. Bane, can you hand me the landline?

All false

That's like, the most basic way to write a conflict. The hero encounters a problem, they lose and then retreat, then they come back with a better plan. There are other superheroes that prep a ton before a fight, but Batfans for some reason always assume any other characters besides Batman are bumbling idiots and not, you know, functional and mature adults that fight other-worldly threats on a regular basis.

​@@hoangkienvu7572 you not even lying like iron Man for example has a suit for every situation almost. If he fought Superman he'd have a kryptonite suit that shoots off of Red Sun radiation and beat him too

everybody knows that Phineas and Ferb could absolutely tarnish any universe with 2 hours of prep time breh

Batman studies Stoic philosophy, and mentally runs through all the worst things people might say to him every night, so that if and when such things do come to pass, he'll have the perfect comeback already prepared on his Bat Cue Cards.

@@albertskoften1452 Batman takes his arguments in the shower and applies them irl.

After the fifth time fighting Scarecrow you come to terms with that stuff real quick

Yep, he just needed a second to think!

The power of prep time

the different is just Batman has the resource to shorten his prep time faster by put just about everything in his belt

You forget that Batman has one more power up his sleeve that most of us don’t… Money And I guess extreme intelligence but I’ll overlook that for now

In some versus battles, intelligent characters are given time to even the odds. Usually it's a specific amount of time. Thinking of something doesn't always mean you can make it happen. I can think of building a robot army, but I would have no clue how to actually do it. If I were eggman or batman, it would be possible for me to actually bring that into a fight.

I liked how N52 showed early Batman totally guessing with his Justice League counters Superman - Kryptonite (sure… but a chunk isn’t gonna do a ton) Aquaman - Dehydrate him with a special compound Batman made (sure) Cyborg - Hack him (sure, Batman had been studying Vic for a while) Flash - Lightning Rod (Batman’s plan was to somehow tag flash and hope lightning would undo his powers… not remotely how it works. And good luck tagging Flash) Green Lantern - Yellow Lantern Ring (Hal had been curbstomping yellows for a while and going toe to toe with Sinestro… whereas Batman was completely untrained and his ring only had .25% charge. He can barely phase a guy Sinestro casually takes apart with the ring… no way he’s touching Hal) Wonder Woman - …get Superman to stop her. (No seriously, he told Clark he had nothing for her and Clark would have to be the one to stop her… WHILE Clark was dating her. Bruce literally asked Clark to beat up his girlfriend for him.)

@@wr5488 Didn't WW had a mental manipulation that would make her believe to be in a neverending fight for her life, thus killing her through heartache?

New 52 though he had only been around the other Leaguers like 5 years at that point. He was still trying to figure out how to stop them if need be... BUT his counter for Flash actually helped stop the Earth-3 Shazam, and his Green Lantern counter (the yellow ring) had juuuuuuust enough energy to get Sinestro's attention and summon him to earth... where he proceeded to literally hack apart Batman's enemy. (Sinestro likes Batman)
