DC rebirth is fixing things in the DC comics now all they need have cyborg remember that he was once a teen titan

Hardcore Marvel fan Here DC Rebirth is amazing. Marvel as it stands today is pure trash -Amazing Spider-man is BORING -All New All Different Avengers... is just there. -Invincible Iron man is meh -The Totally awesome Hulk is irrelevant -International Iron man is boring -Mighty Thor is an insult -All the X-men books are just convoluted and confusing. -Civil War II Has fantastic art yet the premise is just so utterly retarded that it's hard to enjoy. So many people acting out of character. Fighting over dumbshit. And theses are marvel supposedly flagship titles The only good ones are Luke cage and Iron Fist Vision Spider-man(miles Morales)(honestly this book is what Amazing Spider-man SHOULD be) Black Widow(So I've heard) Khamala Khan(So I've heard) There are a select few other gems(that I can't remember), but NONE of them are the flagship titles, which is a giant problem. Almost EVERYTHING I've read in DC:Rebirth is great. Especially the Superman books(Superman is cool again btw)

I never read a comic in my life, however I knew pretty much every major character in the DC Universe from animations or movies, but I never tried to read comics up until Rebirth, because it was kinda intimidating. Batman Rebirth was the first comic I have ever read and I absolutely love it. Since then I have read several Batman comics from the 90-00s and looked into almost all the other Rebirth series. Seriously I can't believe that I never tried to read comic before that, but maybe it was Rebirth itself that kinda got me in the first place, so yeah, DC did probably everything right, when they started Rebirth, because now they have a new hardcore reader.

dc is doing a better job about keeping there characters alive compared to marvel who are killing them off left right and centre for civil war 2 which is ridiculously forced

Who remembers Batman: The Brave and the Bold (TV Series)?

Spider-Man the Animated Series was my favorite... but EVERY Spidey show gets canceled on a cliffhanger

i used to think marvel was better than DC... but DC is now the stronger brand.

I guessed DC realized that pissing on 30 years worth of storylines is a bad idea. Now if only Marvel would learn not to do the same to its characters.

Marvel fanboy here: Marvel is relying on attention grabbing, troll-heavy, gimmicks while DC is going back to what made it great. Marvel is continually alienating it's loyal fan base in order to appease some sort of political agenda. And I am saying this as a Black man. marvel has been terrible since Original Sin. It all started the moment Nick Fury depowered Thor with a phrase that TO THIS VERY FUCKING DAY, readers have no idea what was said. Any Marvel fan will tell you since that event, Marvel has changed on a fundamental level. Instead of making stories for the fans, they are making stories that try to get high scores by reviewers. It's tiring and sad. DC Rebirth is the most fun I've had with comics in awhile

Batman The Animated series is better to me. The X-Men cartoon didn't hold up over the years for me.

Who read Issue 7 of Superman? It's probably going to be my personal favorite issue of the rebirth.

DC: Ooooh Dr.Manhattan removes 10 years from everyone's life. Gotta wait and see what that's about. Marvel: Hey! Uh, we revealed Tony Stark dads... Duh... does anyone still care? No? Oh oh, Ms. Marvel has a new hairstyle!

I'm a fan of Marvel & DC. I grew up on DC shows, be it Batman '66 or Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman or Super Friends, but I tended to gravitate towards Marvel shows in the 90's because it wasn't something I was used to. To me, the MCU is what DC already had when I was growing up. Which is depth, consequences, and a connection to the characters and the world that they live in. Marvel fans who got into it because of the MCU often don't know DC's cinematic history and tend to judge it based on the last few movies. Which is sad given that DC has 4 shows on the CW that are rather good while Marvel has some real quality issues with their 4 shows. DC's core characters are evergreen as far as fictional characters go. They're well on their way to being a century old and yet their stories are still relevant today. Marvel's characters are very much a product of the era that they were created in and that has led to some problems. Yes, Fox owns the rights to the Fantastic Four and that is a big reason why they have been removed from the comic book landscape. But they are also an old team whose significant acts have largely taken place in brandwide meta-events. The X-Men are a bit better at changing with the times but I feel like the weight of 90's nostalgia has stalled progress for many of the main characters. DC's secrets to success are simplicity in character origins, focusing more on events in individual books rather than meta-events, and actually caring if readers can follow the story or not.

As a diehard X-men & Marvel guy Batman the Animated series was lightning in a bottle. An instant classic still unrivaled.

"Let me know if you guys enjoy videos like this" I enjoy videos like this.

I have decided to jump ship to DC comics now. Re-Birth has been WAY better written and actually works to fix continuity and have respect for the hardcore and casual fans. Marvel's ANAD crap has really disappointed me as a new comic reader. So much emphasis on shock value, faux progressiveness, disregard for continuity, shoddy writing and just pointless re-issuing of comics and stupid event after events. However, with continuing slump in sales, they WILL have their own "Re-Birth"

the iron man cartoon... said no one ever LOL.

DC Rebirth is way better than All new all different Marvel. Even the whole DC universe has a way better and cleaner continuity than Marvel's universe.

Look at rob busting out all these videos!! I love it thanks!!

Young Justice is my favorite superhero cartoon. Spectacular Spiderman would be 2nd, and I grew up in the 90's dont get me wrong I loved Justice League, but Young justice gave me so much character growth it wasnt even funny. Im also loving DC rebirth, top 5 favorite books have to be 1. Detective comics 2. Action Comic 3. Titans 4. Aquaman 5. Nightwing

Raise your hand if you think Barbara Gordon should have remained Orcale?

"If I hit him with a yellow crayon, what would that do to him?" 😂😂 dead, so dead hahahahah

Rob, I just have to say, THANK YOU for this channel! I've been watching your videos for the better part of a year and recall in one of your videos about KZfaq putting copyright restrictions of sorts onto yours and countless other channels.. Your constructive argument against that was that the purpose of your channel is to educate people. That is exactly what your channel has done for me- I have learned SO MUCH about so many groups, characters, stories and so on that I knew little to nothing about before. Thank you. Keep up the great content!

Just wanted to say thanks for making a well thought out video. I haven't checked out much of the DC rebirth yet but you've now got me at least a bit more curious. I'd love to see you do more videos like this!

I didn't hate the new 52 honestly. a lot of it is really good

Come on man. There is no comparing X-Men and Batman: the Animated Series. I love both, but Batman was a very mature show. I went back and re-watched many of those episodes recently and they STILL hold up. The acting, the art, the sound design, the plots. They age very well not only with the viewer but also with the times. X-Men, however, does not age so well. I still enjoy it, but nostalgia is what helps me enjoy it mostly. Batman, doesn't require nostalgia, that's how well made it is.

Rob, you and the content you make is what got me reading comics. I was one of those kids growing up in the 90's, watching all those cartoons, I enjoyed them but not enough to read the comics, as I got older I leaned more towards the anime and manga market. However all this content you released has gotten me wanting to know more. Now I'm a huge aquaman fan and a punisher fan, just wish there was an actual comic store near me... slim pickings at my local book store, mostly amazon shopping for me. Thanks for introducing me to all these great stories.

Only half way through the video man and I already love the style and love the sense of nostalgia you're producing!!!

Pre Crisis 4.2/10 I liked Pre 52 5/10 New 52 8.9/10 DC Rebirth 999999999999999/10 Marvel (before reboot) 6/10 Marvel reboot 0.1/10

Batman: The Animated Series will always be the greatest animated super hero show in my opinion. It's animation is amazing even by today's standards. And it branched out and created an amazing universe that defined my childhood.

I'm really enjoying this new content and the different type of videos that you're doing now. This is the best your channel has been in nearly a year I've been subscribed.

I love everything you do. It hits home for me. Thank you

I think that DC did the right thing and noticed ahead of time that their sales slowed down in new 52 rather than realizing that they're going down The Marvel Comics route.

I grew up on marvel on but jumped over to dc in the early 2000s

Great video as usual. It's good to have you back.

Rob, I gotta say, I love these style of videos man. It's great to hear someone passionate talk about this.

I loved Xmen tas Greatest theme ever BTAS aged a lot better

I am proud to say that i bought a comic first. It was a spiderman issue, I realised afterwards that there's a movie too

This was really compelling. You could feel the passion in this video.

Rob, please do more videos like this! It was really refreshing. Honestly I feel kind of bad about being a casual fan, but because of you making these videos I feel more in-between and slowly gravitating to being more of a hardcore fan., Thank you, bruh.

i got into comics because i grew up watching the Justice League cartoon

I'm the kind of reader that just get trades on characters I like. For example Spiderman, Ms. Marvel, the Bat family, and Teen titans.

Wow... Rob I felt this video was different, like you were talking to all of us closely, individually, this shows your knowledge and passion for the 9th art, comics. Astonishing video!!

@ComicsExplained thank you so much for your content! Great voice as well!

DC is doing a waaaay better job with their new status quo than MARVEL, and I like both comics.

I don't think you understand. Thee new 52 universe IS the post-crisis universe. It always has been. It's just that while Barry was running back from the events of flashpoint, dr. Manhattan stole 10 years from the timeline. But yeah, DC Rebirth is saving the company and hopefully they'll listen a bit more closely from now on.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Rob :)

Great vid Rob. I've been reading marvel and DC since high school. DC rebirth, for me anyway, has been the best thing about comics in a long time. Keep up the awesome work 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I can see why older fans didn't like New 52 as much but Fans like me where introduced through the new 52 because before N52 I was like 8 and was a big Batman fan then my Mom brought me to a comic store which when we went there The N52 was like 2 months old and it opened the door for me and got me all in to Comics because everything restarted and made it easy for us new fans. I will always remember getting my very first Comics which where Batman: Court Of Owls & City Of Owls. My point here is that the N52 wasn't bad for DC it was good because it brought in a lot of new fans. Making Rebirth an amazing idea because it brought the new and old DC fans together.

The whole taking DC's side or Marvel's side is pretty stupid, pretty much every major writer and artist has worked for both companies, so to say that one company produces quality content and the other doesn't is bullshit. If you're boycotting either Marvel or DC, you're doing yourself a disservice as a superhero fan because both companies have produced great stories, although each company has their periods of greatness and decline.

hey man I just wanted to let you know, I watch ALL your videos. I am a casual reader as described, but I'm an avid listener. I love having an outlet for all this knowledge. I listen to your new videos every day, usually at work. so really I'll not gonna comment and like all the time, but know that I am always awaiting your every video, no matter if it's a bio, a run down, or a statement of beliefs like this was. keep it up man!! also I seriously want a Rob-corp shirt lol

Well done Rob, that was an awesome video! :D

rebirth is awsome

I got into comics from the animated tv shows: wolverine and the X-men, Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes and, i guess, Batman Brave and the Bold. Then I found the movies and then I found the X-men comics.

dude I love videos like this! Great work!

Rob, I just viewed this video... Your commentary is brilliant. Please continue to build the world you are building. I see nothing but greatness in your future. Between your work ethic, knowledge, command of storytelling, and your ability to communicate what is important about comic book literature. Your ability to explain things in a way that not only provides understanding but creates interest. You are forming your own legacy in the comic book landscape and history. Perhaps someday someone will talk about your impact and contributions on a level equal to Jeff Johns and others.

Superman animated series Spiderman the animate series Xmen cartoon : Are what got me into comics even though I barely had any access to them. I watch the Batman animated series too dont get me wrong but at the time I felt it was boring compared to Superman the animated series. Then came gems like Justice League and Teen titans that sealed the deal. I had to find out more on comics as the years went by

1. BTAS 2. X-Men 3. Spider-Man 4. JL 5. JL Unlimited 6. Teen Titans

rob you are improving on each video , keep the good work.

I'm just happy to listen to you as a comic fan boy with all your amazement over how big this comics world is....

I couldn't have put it better myself. Also, does the Rob Corp have an oath?

I really miss New 52 Superman. I know that's not popular to say but hey. :-(

Great video, would love to hear you talk about more subjects like this.

Rob, it is an excellent introduction video for your channel!

Why doesn't anyone talk about the Legion of Superheroes cartoon??

It's funny, I barely read DC comics, but yet I feel so happy and satisfied with their Rebirth and the few things I try to keep up with. It brought hope and enjoyment, I felt that same thing for All New All Different Marvel...but then Civil War 2 began and I'm just waiting for NOW. Man I just like entertainment when it comes to Marvel and DC, it just so happens that I grew up with Marvel more, it would be a different story if the day I was at the library and I picked up maybe a Green Lantern comic rather than the Runaways and Spider-Man.

this is seriously my favorite video you've done. the ironic thing was x-men did get into comics and my 1st I got was batman 500 (which was part of knightfall) and I got into comic books when civil war comic book came out. it blew me away and made my love for comics grow even bigger. I've been reading comics for 10 years now

Oh man, I just love your channel, when you said that the reason you get in to comics it was X-Men the animated series I get so happy, that series for me is the reason I get in to comics as well, I started collecting trading cards because of the info in the back of the card, I was so hungry for know more about all the background of the characters, It was hard for me to get access to comics where I lived back in the days, but It was really amazing every time I get my hands on one, pretty much everything you said in this video is the way i see everything in Comic books. Amazing job, keep the great work. Peace :)

What Rob said is the exact reason the DC films are garbage. Superman kills Zod? Really? That's not my Superman. I don't know who Batman is either. What is great about both of them is that they don't KILL. At their core, Superman and Batman are very alike and we have seen this over the years. DC needs a rebirth with their movies. I prefer marvel than DC, but whatever direction marvel is going isn't a good one. GJ is the man and that is why DC is hitting the mark right now.

imo dc and marvel are both great

Love the background music Rob !

You sir just earned another sub. This rocked!

I want to see you try to explain Jojo's bizarre adventure all parts

Hardcore Marvel and DC fan here DCEU Amazing (It's so accurate and intiging pleasen o hate) MCU - beginning was good exept for MCU Spider-Man it's getting worse and worse. Iron man comics - Trash DC Rebirth - Super amazing awesome comics. Marvel Reboot - Please bring back the old one or do crisis like DC. :(

Im loving the diversity on the channel lately Rob. Not only are you still doing the documentary style Explained videos. Your also doing these great conversational pieces. I hope you are enjoying yourself more than you were, keep up the great work!

Excellent Rob! You hit the nail on the head!!

i am sad they killed new 52 superman after most ppl started to like him

I am one of those people who like X-men Evolution more than the 90s cartoon lol.

Love this entire video thank you Rob

Rebirth has brought me in from being a casual reader into being a very serious reader. The Death of Superman was my first comic book and when I walked in to the store on one of those few months, I did decide to see what Superman was up to. It was like opening the book to find out a friend was alright, and then they started webbing the DC world together, pushing me into all these other stories just to see how /everyone/ is. It's no longer a comic book about this character or that team, but now it's how those concepts and ideas relate to the superheroic world as a whole.

*X-Men's animation in the '90's was 1000 times better than Batman:TAS.*

Great video, very well put together.

Damn fine video. I loved your mention of the X-Men 90s cartoon and Batman TAS and shows like that. I grew up watching those shows. It's part of the reason my girl loves BATMAN so much was that she grew up watching TAS. It's a classic. We gravitate more towards Marvel vs DC, but if the script got flipped, it could easily be DC vs Marvel. Great video, Rob

Love this Vid!!! you and benny rock!

It was my father who got me into comics as a kid growing up in 90's and watching batman, X- men flash 1990-1991 and reading the Star Wars comics at that time too

i definitely enjoy vid like this. keep it up!

Born in '86, when I was 5 I started playing soccer. My first team was named the Super Heroes, and we got to pick what super hero we wanted to be. I knew who Batman and Superman were but not much else. It was my turn to pick a name off a list but the coach said "Oh, your dad already picked yours." My dad ran track and cross country, and I always knew he was a Batman fan. I asked him who he picked, and I guess the coach told the parents beforehand because he pulled out a Flash comic book. After that the Flash name stuck to me until he passed away. But after that moment, I've never stopped loving comic books. Thank you Rob for these and thank you dad for bringing me into comics.

Dude you just summarized of my life. My earliest memory was seeing the first Batman movie in 1989 when I was 4. In 1992 when my family was coming back from a vacation and I begged my mom to have me watch the Batman animated series in a motel room we where renting. Then the fist comic book series I bought was Batman Knights End. X-men was cool too. I need to get back into comics man.

I've always read comics/looked at the pictures, but I got into DC big time in 1958, and have been there ever since!

Hey rob, enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

Really enjoy your vids

Thanks for reminding people of why they got into comics the first time, your vids are the best.

Great video Rob growing up I was a huge fan of both X-Men the animated series and Batman but for some reason always gravitated more towards Marvel in comics.

One of my favorite video! Loved it! I completely Agree!

really Inspiring speech^^ I wanted to get into (I mean REALLY get into... not just one or to special issues) with comics using DC Rebirth... but I did not get to it... but now I'm pumped again^^ thanks Rob I will try it in the near future

great vid Rob!

You've inspired me to get back into DC. I gave up on everything apart from Batman during The New 52. My favourite character has always been Superman and I detest what they did with him in The New 52 and the current DCEU. Hearing that they have reverted back to the version of the character I love makes me want to give Rebirth a try. I got into comics as soon as I was old enough to read because my uncle was (and still is) writing comics. He was writing for DC when I was younger so I've always been a DC guy over Marvel. Geoff Johns has annoyed me a few times now due to his bringing back of Hal Jordan and Barry Allan (Kyle Rayner & Wally West are what I grew up with) so I was a bit wary of Rebirth at first. But now with your glowing recommendation I will dive right back in. Thanks.

mine was actually static shock. which is funny considering you hit the nail on the head with your video about him

I didn't grow up watching any animated series about superheroes nor did I read comics as a kid. But for some reason I love comics about superheroes now. It's never too late to get into it.

I watched most comicbook cartoon that came out in the 90s, but the one cartoon that got me into reading comics was Justice League/Unlimited. That show is absolutely amazing and my favorite cartoon series ever.
