The Batman Of Zur En Arrh from silver age alien to something else... This colourful version of the dark knight has quite the history at DC Comics and beyond. Batman has seen this concept evolved in a couple of ways, one an edgy maniacal version in Grant Morrison's Batman and beyond. the second a more faithful rendition by Batman The Brave And The Bold. We take a look at it all as we dive into The Super Batman From Planet X here on Casually Comics!

I feel like the best way to modernize Tlano/Batman of Zur-En-Arrh would be to set him in the Legion of Superheroes era. Make him be inspired by a bat-like creature of his own world and reading of the Batman of Earth from a thousand years ago, which is where gets his interlac and english name Batman instead of whatever it'd be in his own world's language(s). He'd operate mostly on his own world but occasionally help the Legion, perhaps with detective work most of all to truly fit his namesake!

Morrison's line about Batman being "out of his comfort zone" is interesting because it does speak to the fan tendency to make bad older stories more narratively satisfying in their mind when often times, the original writers just did not care and thought they were writing for children

As a kid Batman the Brave and the Bold was my first exposure to Zurr-En-Arrh and when I started reading comics I wanted to go back to older stories so for me the original Zur-En-Arrh Batman is still the one that first comes to mind. Honestly part of me wishes they brought that element back and have Bat-Mite be the reason why for the past few years almost every Batman story has been about him losing control of all of Gotham.

It could work. Heck, there’s precedent for 5th dimensional imps causing meta stuff like that to happen. One of my favorite Mxy stories by Grant Morrison implies that every story Mxy is a part of is him telling/writing stories about his favorite hero who he’s too attached to.

The Batman: Brave and the Bold series was just so pitch-perfect. If they had sat down with the intent of creating a show just for me, they couldn't have done a better job. :D I do admire the way Morrison isn't afraid to latch onto any crazy random thing from a character's past and try to find a way to make it fit. It's not always 100% successful, but he's always in there, taking the big swings. I definitely want to hear your take on Fatman. On the one hand, there's a lot of fat-shaming humor that probably wouldn't fly today. On the other hand, he's shown as brave and smart and gets to save the day. Plus I like the fact that Batman is completely nonchalant about some comedian mocking him. If it were a Silver Age Superman story, I feel like Supes would be at least a little bit miffed about this guy roasting him, but Batman is all, "Relax, dude, I can take a joke".

Fantastic episode Sasha. I really love you going through the history from the Silver Age through Morrison to cap it off with my fave The Brave and the Bold cartoon. I think the cartoon does the best service for this as it better matches the light-hearted tone of the Silver Age and also manages to enhance it. I think how Morrison ties it in as a neat psychological nod to the original is good but it almost seems a bit overwrought and construed for my liking; some things can remain light and silly fun.

I feel like the best way to modernize Tlalo/Batman of Zur-En-Arrh would be to set him in the Legion of Superheroes era. Make him be inspired by a bat-like creature of his own world and reading of the Batman of Earth from a thousand years ago, which is where gets his interlac and english name Batman instead of whatever it'd be in his own world's language(s), and he operates on his world but occasionally helps the Legion, perhaps as a detective most of all

Thank you for explaining Bruce's Zurrsona.

Somehow the voices you do for Batman and Spider-Man always manage to take me by surprise and make me laugh. Never stop.

Love how your covering the brave and the bold cartoon recently loved that show as a kid

Before I forget, please do a video on False Face! PLEASE! The B&B ep is probably my favorite take on the Zur En Arrh tale. Tuck it away in a parallel universe and it'll work just fine.

The alternate title for Brave and the Bold should be Silver Age: The Aninated Series.

To be perfectly honest with everyone!! I really like the original version of The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh as an alien version of Batman. But I really don’t care for the newer reimagined version of the character as just a crazy backup split personality of Batman (because I really don’t like how having Batman of Zur-En-Arrh being a split personality of Batman would just make him look more like Moon Knight)

It kinda seems like they made this cartoon for you. I'm always amazed at the knowledge you have about comics. I wonder how many people would know 1/8 of the stuff you know about these comics. And then you add the humor. And no politics. I love you're videos. They're always fun. Thank you.
