There was a comic from the 70s that showed Batman talking to Gordon in his office. As usual Gordon turns to look at Batman, only to find an open window. But as Gordon leaves the office. Batman comes out from behind the coat stand. Because Gordon would have seen him leave if he tried to go out the window. So he only made him think he left.
There was another incident like that in Knightfall. After Batman had his back broken the guy subbing in for him went to speak with Gordon. He didn't wait for Gordon to look away before climbing out the window and it weirded Gordon out.
@@AnEvilBastard I think it was Dick Grayson, and he wasn't even trying. Gordon had looked away, and when he turned back Batdick was still standing there, and it surprised the hell out of him. Batdick said he wasn't sure they were finished talking, and Gordon was like, "it never stopped you before." That's when he started getting suspicious he wasn't dealing with the original. I liked in Kingdom Come, toward the end of the comic when everything is coming to a head, Superman busts in on an elderly Bruce Wayne (who is preparing to put on some Bat armor) to help him with the emergency. Batman gives him more info about what's going on that makes Supes leave very quickly so that when Bruce turns back around he's gone, and he chuckles to himself, "So that's what it feels like."
Fun fact. it is also entirely possible to do this in reverse, just appearing out of nowhere when someone thinks they are alone. I have a really bad habbit of doing it completely unintentionally.
I call it hunter foot. I don't make a sound when walking no matter how many shiny dangles I have draped on me and I can't find a way to announce my presence without scaring people.
@@ostrowulf i mean bruce wayne is literally a kid. has all this money, power and influence and what does he do? "I want a black tank and beat up people and a cape!" ^^
They actually explain it, in batman begins when he's training as a ninja pretty much two ways, 1. you look for an exit before you enter anything. 2. you wait for hours before or after just to attack for one reason. so for a ninja they have it planned out mins or hours before it happens, but perception to a regular person it happens in a couple secs. its a about patience also imo.
I think niko is forgetting a fundamental fact of the whole “why don’t they search for him...” thing... namely, because everyone is intimidated by him. They’re all a little afraid of him and they don’t search for him cause they’re surprised his gone, but also relieved that he’s gone.
@@jpeg.600x2 Did you just ask what's so scary about a borderline insane man with "peak human" strength in a bulletproof suit prowling the night beating people into coma's before disappearing into thin air?
Well, in most situations where Batman "vanishes", it's an outdoor scene, with clear exit routes. Batman just picks the right moment and most of the "trick" is just being quiet. There's less hiding than just leaving rudely.
And quickly. I would like to know how he’s making sure his cape doesn’t make to much noise if he’s moving fast enough for it to whip through the air though.
@@Swenglish Definitely environmental noise, remember he's mostly disappearing from rooftops in the middle of a densely populated inner city. Ask any New Yorker, the noise is just going constantly day and night, more than enough to cover for a cape swoosh.
Batman has the added benefit of being able to throw himself off the nearest ledge, or grapple away, not just hide round the corner like Jake has to. The hardest part to believe, for me, is Batman doing it silently.
@@porc1429 yea i agree, like empty hallways etc, but if its on the rooftop night time with wind and city ambient sounds, and ur talking on top of that, doubt you'll hear batman. and remember in the films they have mics, i doubt we can hear ppl talking quietly 20meters away or even see their facial expression lol
It’s explained in the Arkham series. Batman moves out of sight and then transitions into another room by crawling through the air vents and leeping out of a window
The thing about this "trick" is that, every move Batman makes is calculated. If he meets you at a specific spot, you can be sure that he has several exit routes planned. He can "disappear" not because he's a ninja, but because he specifically chose a spot where he can do exactly that, if the need arises. So yes, Batman is just that good.
I've never believed that Batman is just hiding, I think he is completely leaving in such a stealthy or unexpected way (jumping off roofs, using his gadgets) that the person didn't notice. I also enjoy believing he isn't doing it to be dramatic, he is just done with the convo and leaves immediately while the other person is still catching up.
The way I always read it in older iterations was that he just doesn't have enough hours in the day. In that CEO time is money sense, he literally has everything he needs, the conversation is winding down, it's time to get back on the clock. The only difference between his departure and a manager noticing the time is he has Ninja and Stage Magician training so ingrained in his act that he would actively have to try to alert someone he is leaving. A lot more modern movies just sort of use it as "ooh, mysteries," but in TAS specifically it almost always felt like "right, talkings over, back to fighting crime."
Exactly. I can't remember which scene or scenes, but I'm sure you can literally hear his cape flap as he jumps off a rail, or the zip line as he grapple hooks himself out of there. He doesn't disappear, vanish, or hide. He exits quickly.
Yeah. It always seemed like that to me. He has just decided the conversation is over, what needs to be said has been said, any more would be time-consuming chit chat, and he exclusively Irish goodbyes.
I started crying with laughter. For me it was the idea that Batman would just be sitting right there hoping his prank wouldn’t be found out and how awkward it would be if Gordon just found him and continued the conversation.
Part of why it works for Batman, is that the people he's talking to are also busy. Like he is talking to them and then gives them information(sometimes physical) and they are now thinking on the info, then when he's gone, they may do a quick look around, but they also have just been given new information on their current thing and the pressure of getting back to that with all this new info kind of pushes them harder than wanting to keep looking around.
That, and they're either people who are used to him disappearing like that so they don't even bother searching, or they have places to be and can't be bothered either.
When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion.

Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

One trope that I would love to see tested is the horror trope where people go towards weird sounds in the dark. Would be funny to see people from the office, totally oblivious of any shenanigans, hear something when they come to work and see if they'll go investigate. Could also unscrew the lightbulbs so they are there but won't turn on for added scare factor.
More realistic to test it when someone is staying long, when they are alone in a large building after hours. Most scary movies where people go towards the creepy sound are in the dark, not in a bright morning sun with friends around. But still, they should absolutely test it somehow, great idea.
been there done that, your hearts racing but you definitely go check. in the context of the movies however, you know theres some weird killing spree in town, and in that context i definitely wouldnt check xD
@@Nightknight1992 I'm not sure what you were thinking but I've been there done that and I left...I'm not sure if you have the sixth sense of knowing something isn't right but most humans would go for self preservation
"They're just frustrated with you, now." -- and indeed, in a lot of instances of Batman just vanishing, Gordon or whoever is often just really frustrated afterwards. But the one I like most... Is when Batman does it to Superman. Suggesting that Batman doesn't even make a noise when he vanishes.
Considering the suite of super-senses that Superman has, I doubt Clark would be that easy to fool. Then again, it could just be a matter of mind-games and trying to expertly focus attention elsewhere or relax the focus in the right places such that Batman could vanish even from Clark. That or maybe Clark is too polite to out Bruce's hiding spot when Bruce is trying to keep up his reputation as a mystery hero of the night.
@@craigkuhlman6869 Omg the idea that Superman is aware of it, but just goes along with Batman just to humor him 😂 Not even the greatest human on Earth can match up to Superman anymore than a toddler could to an adult 😂 Superman be like “Bruh… I’m literally this planet’s babysitter” 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅 That’s kinda freaky to think about lol
@@leahl5007 Bruce and Clark are friends in first-name basis even in uniform (when they KNOW nobody can hear them). Bruce practiced a LOT to be able to do that to Clark for shit and giggles, and Clark did it back to Bruce himself (prompting Bruce to quip "he pulled a Me"). Those two take the "do a Batman" gag to an art form.
This experiment showcses one of the most important aspects of being The World's Greatest Detective- not finding and analyzing evidence, not the physical skills of pursuit and capture, but a deep keen understanding of psychology. Jake made the smart move consulting a magician, the perfect person to explain why and how people's attention spans can be diverted and exploited.
Exactly. Jake just CONSULTED a magician. Now imagine what someone who's trained with them for years could do. This would be like if Elon Musk spent 8 years learning from David Blane and Lance Burton
Right? And Freddy isn't even a career magician but just giving Jake the one trick every aspiring magician must know was more than enough, misdirection.
I don’t care if the Batman disappearing mid sentence is not feasible or juvenile. I love it! It’s always satisfying when it happens. To be honest if they didn’t do that in a movie I would be enormously disappointed. It’s part of his DNA as far as his signature moves!
Imagine if instead of saying "I hate when he does that" Gordon just pointedly put his hands on his hips and said "I hate when you do this". And then just waited.
@@Ixnatifual And then both stand there for a entire week because Batman is to suborn to admit hes been caught and Gordon refuses to let Batman get away with the trick again.
@@robotmaster4515 i guess eventually Alfred would send (or be) a distraction for Gordon so let Master Wayne escape. When in doubt, always call your butler.
its revealed in the 90's cartoon that he is literally just jumping out the nearest window and gliding away. although they did have one episode where Gordon actually checks the windows and they don't open, so who knows

Wren is the most curious guy on Corridor, he does all the science videos and stuff, so no wonder he couldn't resist finding out what happened to Jake...
Considering just an average Joe did this, I think batman someone who dedicated 10 plus years of their life to martial arts and ninjaing, I think he could dissappear even better than the video.
@@TheKingofhighbury yeah like I don't think people realize how hard it is to see in the dark, especially a ninja fully cladded in pitch black Armor, in a city with the infrastructure of a whale intestine
I feel like the places where Batman has these encounters where he disappears aren’t just random. Most likely he has already taken the time to find possible exit routes or areas where detection would be minimal. That and also the darkness which just makes things really hard to see
@@primalgreyy true, like batman isn't just a billionaire, or even an athletic one. He's a highly skilled, trained, athletic, intelligent, wealthy, and determined man. He has all the cards he just doesn't show it.
The best explanation we have for this entire ability is the scene from Batman begins where he’s being trained by Ra’s and is discussing the art of disappearing and calls his men and they silently fall from the ceiling perfectly quiet around them.
16:24 Niko turns around to see Batman loudly rushing down the stairs, who releases an excited high pitched squeal when the suspense hits him halfway down.
You've now got to test the iconic MARVEL "Disguise" of Hoodie, Sunglasses, and Baseball Cap, that everyone thinks would never work. Also see if you can get Tony Hawk to Clark Kent himself by just putting on glasses and maybe a slight slouch to his walk (all Christopher Reeves like) in public, to prove Superman's Disguise is actually plausible.
I like the Marvel "disguise" bit, but the reason no one suspects Clark is because how he acts as Superman and as Clark. Part of the reason is because most people don't expect Superman to have a "secret identity".
I guess we should add to this another answer. There are a LOT of people, who your brain thinks, that look like someone, who is famous, or you see on TV a lot or even some of your friends, who you chat on video a lot. I, just for lulz and giggles, in my little hometown counted 5-6 people, who reminded me of Steven Seagall. So it is completely possible, that people consider Clark to be someone, who just looks like Superman.
The "disappearing" trick along with the "appearing out of nowhere" one are somethings I oftenly do, mostly unintentionally. It got to the point where my friends actively point out to me how I just vanish. All that training from when I was a kid sneaking around home during night time really payed off!
That was actually really smart of him. I asked a friend of mine who was in the CIA about Jason Bourne-like situational awareness, and he said that 90% of it is just looking above or below your typically eye level.
ye that was actually pretty funny... i mean if you think about it batman probably needs to train this shit too then so it goes smoothly when he does it for real... maybe always in the batcave with albert
I've done this in real life before: by accident and on purpose. It's all about finding the right moment, then you just step out of someone's field of view. Or you get interested in something else and wonder off--not realizing the person was still trying to talk to you. And as often as Batman does it, he would become extremely good at it. 👍🏽
I do it all the time I just walk really quiet naturally and am easily distracted so I pull Batman disappearances a lot along with the silent entrance that scares people since they didn't hear me come up on them
@@ryantwomey3463 Right? I always scared my mom by walking down the stairs (which were hella creaky but I knew the spots) and started conversation with her which she did not expect XD Not to mention that people accuse me of suddenly appearing out of nowhere XD I should have been assassin
In my experience, you don't even need to hide, you can just leave. When someone's talking to you, they assume you are still there even when their back is turned, so if their attention gets caught by a task, you can have a lot of time to just leave. I do it all the time by accident: I'm walking alongside someone, talking to them, and the side I'm walking on runs out of room so I switch sides behind them, they turn back to speak to me and get the Batman reaction, sometimes I switch back to the side I was on and they take another few seconds to find me, but I would always have enough time to slip into the crowd or behind a nearby wall or something
I disappear in public on purpose sometimes I would go to another area and change like a jacket or something. It really depends on what’s going on and how well I planned it.
Just stand really still and the other person will think that you have disappeared. It worked for another superhero named Drax. He was actually in all the MCU movies but was so still that we didn't notice most of them.
I literally did this with my friend. I would just switch sides while we were waking and talking because my side was cramped and they would say "Where did you go?" when I was just on the other side
@@TroyThompson_aus but that was easily a known set up. much funnier if it's people just poofing and the only props they have is.. well none. I mean the hat here worked and kinda fills in for the caped crusader's bat ears that break up the silhouette of a man to the point one would ignore it.
If they use this idea and put out a tiktok/instagram-based Batman challenge, they'd (1) have enough reach to actually have enough people see it, and (2) they'd gain even more followers. I cannot stress enough how smart this idea is! 👏👏👏
I recall once or twice in BTAS, I wanna say earlier on in the series, when Batman "vanishes" and Commissioner Gordon or Barbara or someone goes to check the window or building ledge, Batman's just seen already swinging away on his grapple. And the show depicts him has undergoing both ninjitsu and magician/escape artist training in order to develop his physical skills. So when he's depicted as vanishing, it's really more just Batman silently leaving right away and the camera lingering on Gordon for a while for dramatic effect. Because when Batman wants to do something like Hide in the Shadows, he'll be seen stalking offscreen or something and then attacking from the shadows or just the his eyes or silhouette appearing as some goon has walked right past him or so. And the black, dark blue, and gray of his suit are colors suitable for blending into general dark surroundings.
This right here. People are honestly, in my opinion, showing how little deductive skills and cognitive reasoning they actually possess if they think he’s hiding in a box waiting for everyone to just leave. No, he was literally training in over a dozen different forms of martial arts across the whole world in dozens of different countries, and also learned along the way multiple different forms of magician skills. Things like “Disappearing” most specifically. He’s distracting the enemy or waiting for an ally to become distracted, before walking away as quietly as he can and then he crawls into the ventilation system or jumping off a building, grappling up to a higher vantage point, etc.
The other thing that dudes in a dingy studio cannot get their hands on are the gadgets and forms of technology Batman possess as a Multi-Billionaire. It’s very possible to assume that Batman has multiple styles of suits. Ones for intimidation with heavy boots, as well as suits specifically designed for stealth, with boots made of specially made materials that dampen sound and make it so he produces virtually no sound when walking.
Exactly, that's what I've always assumed as well. I can't understand why anyone would think he's just hiding in a box waiting for someone or expecting to leave.
I actually think there's a level of mythos to Batman's disappearances. People don't look for him because he has this concept that is part of his entire identity about vanishing. Even though it could be easy for them to find him if they looked, he gives them the impression that it would be futile
Yeah, it's like when my little dog sneaks a food wrapper off the table when I'm watching a show with my mom. The 10lb dog sits on her lap on the lazy boy and we have an end table very close. She (the dog) will wait a while, my mom gets pretty glued to the TV so it's pretty easy for her to slowly grab it and get away. My mom has slow reaction times as well so will give up almost immediately because she also can't catch the dog once the dog gets on the ground. The dog doesn't even run that fast honestly because she knows that she won... Until I'm in the room in the same scenario and I can actually catch her so she's caught off guard
@@SpecterNeverSpectator Because in many cases it wouldn't make sense for him to be far enough away to not find him if you start searching immediately. And also, you'd be able to follow his footsteps at least. If he's getting away quickly, he's gonna be running or grapple hooking away. Those things would make some noise even if he has soft shoes and gear mufflers.
@@OdaKa I remember in the First good Batman movie, when he is talking to Joker inside of the police station, inside of the interrogation room, and the light goes out for a second, and then he's gone. How the fuck did he do that? He was in a locked room, behind several layers of doors. In a police station!
Niko: "No one can disappear that quickly" Me: you have never gone shopping with my mom...take your eyes off of her for one second and she's just gone. Cart and all.
@@Brainbuster Yup he does ;) He tries to put the shoe on his head, noticed it's not a hat throws it away and puts on the hat ;). Not such a brain buster after all :P
The music in this is truly what sells the bit. The crescendo hitting right as the camera is slowly zooming in on absolutely no one is just straight up gold.
How the hell did you survive the controversy where you baited kids into gambling their parents money on a website you owned, so you personally got revenue?
I can totally imagine Batman hiding under a trash bag, and him scouting locations during the day to have hiding spots ready for the night... Then again I think he would be more inclined to have a network of getaway spots all over the city hidden under trash containers and manhole covers. It's still really impressive to see Jake actually pulling it off.
I think the fact that the shoe missed and landed right in front of Sam made that one a whole lot better. Sam saw the shoe fall down, and it was probably way more effective than if Jake had actually thrown it down the stairs.
he should give left a a pair of shoes and a shirt and pants and a hat too basically I want it to look like there his clothes and he just left the plane of existence
Yep worked super well, so frequently in the comics would batman be like "Gordon I think I dropped a contact lens do you see it?" Before he vanished. Also literally everyone tested did search for him which he was supposed to prove they wouldn't
@@toxxik4933 not everyone at all, unless you count confusingly looking around as "searching" Plus the chances that you're gonna go search for a stranger in a bat suit in the middle of the night are a lot less than than when you're talking to a friend in your work place
I mean he lost, he didn't prove anything he was supposed to. Everyone searched which he said they wouldnt. And in a carefully chosen location after providing a distraction he still couldn't actually do batman's vanishing trick, by literally every metric he failed. If the challenge had been "can you do a vaguely similar ineffective version of batman's vanish" then he'd of knocked it out of the park
Only person to actually search the area for him was Wren, one person checked only a steps distance around where they were standing, everyone else looked from where they were standing before leaving the area - which is a natural reaction to something unusual happening, particularly in a dark space.
I think this was one of my favorite videos you guys have made! Lots of times we watch movies and assume we would know better or would do something different but then when you are in a similar situation, you realize that it is possible for you to fall into that same trap. You don’t know you are being set up
I have been exiting like "Batman" all my life. It really is just a matter of being quiet and picking the right moment when your target is facing away and not paying much attention to you. It works the best in open places with lots of people walking around or stores with multiple aisles to duck into. My family always gets upset when I disappear on them, but I love doing it because Batman did it first
@@umcaraqualquer3640 Actually, if you look a little closer, you'll notice his name is William Batson. Billy Batson is the name of the boy who turns into Captain Marvel, later renamed to Shazam.
There’s an important element to this that’s being forgotten. Batman disappearing is all skill and practice. I think the reason people don’t look for him is because he is Batman. They just kind of assume that he’s gone because he’s “just that good,” so there is no reason to look for him.
A kid I knew in middle school that literally would disappear like that. That’s why everyone called him Ninja. He wouldn’t do it every time, so we never expected it, and we were confused about how he did it
I always assumed he was already grapple hooked onto something through an exit and then just dipped when he was done talking to get back into the sky/onto rooftops faster. Playing the Arkham games made me think about how quick he could get away with that thing. And that scene in Batman Begins where he seems to fly with a guy up into the shadows.
This needs to be a new series where you just test movie troupes on people to see if they work in real life. This was awesome but he should of 100% jumped out on someone and said "I'm Batman!".
Yeah, in the corridor where he vanishes, if he waited for someone to walk by then come back out he could do it then. Better yet, if he could keep his composure, he could act completely clueless and pretend he didn't just hide and he's puzzled as to why they just pushed past him after checking the envelope. That'd be a very effective way of freaking someone out!
I just love that Sam was so caught up arguing the specifics with Jake that Jake had to really thread the needle in waiting for Sam's split-second loss of eye contact
Jake you outdid yourself 😄 I laughed more than recent Bolivud episode. Tnx crew for making our lives better! Been a fan for more than 7 years, and will be forever ❤️
That video got deleted, Because they literally made fun of Bollywood in that video, they should not have done that, they should respect every industry. It shows their ignorance about the knowledge of film industry as a whole. And western studios are biased, they make the VFX of high quality for Hollywood films of the same budget of the Bollywood film, and they do bad VFX for Bollywood films even they have same budget. That is the issue. This industry is so biased.
@@custodydrama9693 ...they literally kept praising bollywood vfx on their past bollywoof vfx reacts. looks like someone here is the one that's really biased
I think one of the things to factor in is expectation, If batman has a reputation of just disappearing mid conversation people are less likely to look for him since it's just a given.
What he failed to realize is how the batman mythos basically covers the one weakness of this trick. He says "why wouldn't they just start looking around for him?" If you were talking to THE actual real life batman and he just disappeared mid conversation what would you do? This is a world where men and women with crazy super powers is pretty commonplace, and odds are you wouldn't be someone who knows anything about batman. You don't know he's just some guy in a suit with gadgets, for all you know he might actually be a bat mutant that can just zip away faster than sound. And then even if you were betting on him not being a super-powered monster what would you do once you found him? Would you really want to find him? He is THE batman who goes toe to toe with gods on the daily! Would you really wanna risk playing peekaboo with that? I would just hope he's already a mile away punching some thug and leaving me alone lmao
What would Batman do if he was ever found hiding like B: Uh so yknow I can’t exactly let you live knowing that I was hiding behind a radiator doing my disappearing trick.. sooooo.. yeahhhh.. And now boom fuck, you’re dead as hell. Just leave the roof it’s not worth it
Batman would just pretend like he is taking a sample of the floor for the database in case something happened to happen in this very same floor. You know, he likes being prepared.
I used to do this my freshman year of college in a group though. Sometimes they kept roping me into stuff super late at night so instead of just saying "I'm gonna head back to my dorm", I would SLOWLY back out of the circle we were talking in then walk away to my dorm lmao. They wouldn't notice until I was already in my bed and text me "WHERE ARE YOU". It was great.
@@joaopires3917 Billionaire toys + ninja tricks + being on a building 90% of the time = he literally jumps off the building or out of a window. Something no sane person would ever expect 😂
I really wish we'd gotten to see Niko reacting to Wren finding Jake though. We get to see others actually walk off, so I'm willing to accept the Wren was the outlier; but the way this was edited makes it seems as though they were presenting it as failproof when, in fact, the first (from out perspective) victim clued on well enough that it actually failed... eventually.
That’s why after Jake did it to Wren first as a test, he said it 90% worked and had to test with others to perfect it before moving on to the other scenario.
I know it's silly but I actually always loved the Batman dissapearing thing. It's become a meme but its just funny. Batman can actually vanish when you're not looking at him. Heck, he has even done this to Superman who has x-ray vision. That means the dude isn't just hiding behind a rock or something, he's actually there one moment, gone the next. Tho sometimes I just wonder if Superman just lets him have that for kicks. XD
I think later after meeting Superman, Batman realizes he needs to take more precautions and makes a suit lined with lead or something and has the ability to conceal his heartbeat so Superman can't hear him or see him with x-ray vision.
@@powwowkid14 Wouldn't matter. Imagine this for a second: You're talking to Batman, you turn back and he's gone! You use x-ray vision and you don't see him, just...a blank lead spot that you can't see though shaped like a Batman suit crouched behind the ottoman. (Assuming he's silent enough to move without Supes hearing him, which is pretty ridiculous) The lead doesn't make him disappear from Supes, it just isn't able to be seen through. You could line your roof with lead and Superman couldn't see in, but he'd still see a lead roof. Pretty suspicious on its' own. He couldn't see Bruce in a lead suit, but he'd still see a lead Batman suit.
@@LjCaples Yeah. I know. But that's still pretty ridiculous. With the stunts Supes has pulled off, there's no way without stealth superpowers. I mean, if nothing else, he'd have to stop breathing and stop his heartbeat while hiding from him, since he has shown several times he can hear that. For that matter, he's hearing Bruces' heart as they are talking. He's literally hearing the heartbeat grow fainter as he moves away. That's like having a car sneak away while the motor is running. Unless Batman literally stops his heart while they are talking so he doesn't notice the absence, which is just silly. Ultimately, it works because the writers say so.
@@mentaya11 yea I never understood how he “stealthily” ran away with that loud ass cape. I also think Superman kinda just lets it go because idk if using x-ray vision is easy to the dude but I’d imagine he doesn’t want to take the time to scan the room. Plus other than kryptonite I don’t think he’s to worried about Bats
That first attempt would have gone better in terms of disappearing if the camera wasn't present. The camera being there prompts that there must be something more going on, so they keep looking.
It's actually really fun to do this! When you are having a walking conversation and you stay just a bit behind them. You can drop back and stand on the opposite side of them and continue to walk. Usually people turn to look back at where you were originally standing and are confused for like five seconds. Before they simply turn their head some more and see you still walking along side them
I often do that involuntarily. When walking in a crowded environment I tend to weave to let the other person walk in a straight line. Regularly I see them turn to where I was a second ago and say "I'm on this side!"
I think one of the reasons why this works for Batman, and for Jake, is because the person being batmanned has something else to focus on. i.e. the envelope, evidence, marked bills, etc. so they're more focused on taking in that information and deciding what to do next than looking for Batman/Jake.
The camera man kind of threw an unknown variable into the victims reaction. It maybe should have been done with a hidden camera and just Jake and the victim. That would have made for some really good "left alone in the dark" reactions of WTF. I bet lot of them would have just got the heck out of there right away and none would actually look for him. So if it works, for the most part, in practice here, then for sure Batman can pull it off. This is especially true when you consider the following. Being a masked crusader of the knight (won't refer to him as a super hero), it brings an aura of mystery and inherit expectation of being elusive. When nearing the end of a conversation and he disappears, in the night environment that is home to him, the person left there would accepts that he has just made his exit. This would discourage going to look for him. Even if his exit was too far to believe he made it there undetected and that it would be more viable that he was hiding behind something nearby. Who would really wants to find Batman in a crouched position behind a rooftop A/C unit. Even though it would most likely be expected the first time, for sure it would be expected for every next encounter with him. Again the person would not go searching for him. If jake would have done the same experiment in full Batman costume, they would have more accepted/expected/realized and then just shrugged it off right away that he did a Batman disappearing act, if they know the character/movies well.
the camera man was also blocking the exit way. it is kind of a trade off. camera man there blocks the exit, but the victim can be reassured some trick has occurred because camera man would've seen it happen. if camera man is not there, the exit is open so the victim can assume he simply left.
The storge room was actually a better disappearing act. In addition to the brilliant hiding place in plain site, there weren't many exits, just one. In the spooky hallway there were a lot of easy ways do leave in half a second, so it that's why those reactions weren't quite as good.
Both only had one logistic exit the first location had a set of stairs which would be noisy to leave. The other was just a long hallway with a few doorways he could have dipped into. I think both were perfect for his trick. Super funny reactions were the icing on the cake!
This worked perfectly! Of course the trick with Batman's act is that he doesn't hide, he just leaves, so quickly and so stealthy that no one notices until afterwards, which does require some skills we non-ninja lack
Once he’s gotten enough key info from a suspect or the Commissioner, he doesn’t need to stay. While they’re still discussing possible motives, he’s already on his way to the culprit’s base in an abandoned chocolate factory or whatever
Sometimes. In one comic he takes an opportunity to open a window while talking with the commissioner, so Gordon is keeping it in his peripheral vision. He looks away for a second and then turns back, hoping to catch Batman's exit. He finds an empty room and believes that Batman somehow managed to cross the room and jump out the window in that brief time without making a sound. After he leaves, Batman comes out of hiding barely a foot from where he'd been standing and leaves through the window.
I mean, some stealth techniques basically make you disappear. Like the “quail technique” as I’ve seen it called where you crouch down into a stationary ball as much as you can next to or behind something like a tree or rock, and people just don’t tend to look there, so if you are stationary enough they basically will never see you if you blend in even somewhat. Or like how if you can get at least 45 degrees above someone, they generally won’t see you because they’d need to look up, and even then if you blend in well enough they might not notice at a glance. You do often need to hide for a bit, but it can give you that opening you need to do a real escape, or could be if someone is catching up to you during your escape. I imagine that Batman studied several stealth methods from historical ninjas, spies, and assassins to get better at these kinds of things (which in some versions he canonically does). And he is usually a patient stoic character while as Batman, so I can imagine him feeling comfortable staying still for extended periods if it means he can keep up the Batman mystique.
I've been a fan of Corridor for years now, and I have to say it was really nice to see Jake in a video and not JUST the ad spot. I almost instinctually skipped when I saw his face, but I'm glad I didn't. I love batman, and I loved the video.

There was a comic from the 70s that showed Batman talking to Gordon in his office. As usual Gordon turns to look at Batman, only to find an open window.
But as Gordon leaves the office. Batman comes out from behind the coat stand. Because Gordon would have seen him leave if he tried to go out the window. So he only made him think he left.
Lol sometimes you don't even have to do the thing, sometimes you just gotta make them believe you did
Hence, the shoe toss.
There was another incident like that in Knightfall. After Batman had his back broken the guy subbing in for him went to speak with Gordon. He didn't wait for Gordon to look away before climbing out the window and it weirded Gordon out.
@@AnEvilBastard and some fish
@@AnEvilBastard I think it was Dick Grayson, and he wasn't even trying. Gordon had looked away, and when he turned back Batdick was still standing there, and it surprised the hell out of him. Batdick said he wasn't sure they were finished talking, and Gordon was like, "it never stopped you before." That's when he started getting suspicious he wasn't dealing with the original.
I liked in Kingdom Come, toward the end of the comic when everything is coming to a head, Superman busts in on an elderly Bruce Wayne (who is preparing to put on some Bat armor) to help him with the emergency. Batman gives him more info about what's going on that makes Supes leave very quickly so that when Bruce turns back around he's gone, and he chuckles to himself, "So that's what it feels like."
Fun fact. it is also entirely possible to do this in reverse, just appearing out of nowhere when someone thinks they are alone. I have a really bad habbit of doing it completely unintentionally.
Same. I'm a big 6"3" dude and yet I scare the shit out of a lot of people by total accident just because I am quiet.
Same here!
Batman does that too
Me too
I call it hunter foot. I don't make a sound when walking no matter how many shiny dangles I have draped on me and I can't find a way to announce my presence without scaring people.
Commissioner Gordon would lose all respect for Batman if he found him in the corner wearing a pith helmet.

The idea that Batman hides until no one is around anymore so he can get away without anyone seeing him is beyond humorous to me
They actually explain it, in batman begins when he's training as a ninja pretty much two ways, 1. you look for an exit before you enter anything. 2. you wait for hours before or after just to attack for one reason. so for a ninja they have it planned out mins or hours before it happens, but perception to a regular person it happens in a couple secs. its a about patience also imo.

Well, in most situations where Batman "vanishes", it's an outdoor scene, with clear exit routes. Batman just picks the right moment and most of the "trick" is just being quiet. There's less hiding than just leaving rudely.
And quickly. I would like to know how he’s making sure his cape doesn’t make to much noise if he’s moving fast enough for it to whip through the air though.

@@Swenglish Definitely environmental noise, remember he's mostly disappearing from rooftops in the middle of a densely populated inner city. Ask any New Yorker, the noise is just going constantly day and night, more than enough to cover for a cape swoosh.
Batman has the added benefit of being able to throw himself off the nearest ledge, or grapple away, not just hide round the corner like Jake has to. The hardest part to believe, for me, is Batman doing it silently.
when ppl talk, they cover alot of ambient sound from their ears lol
Yeah I still think it's impossible in the way they potrayed it in the nolan films

Batman isn't actually moving. He has mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still, that he becomes invisible to the eye.
so.... Drax stealth lol
bro got cameraman stealth
It’s explained in the Arkham series. Batman moves out of sight and then transitions into another room by crawling through the air vents and leeping out of a window
Man is spitting fax
so the person has to have motion blindness
The thing about this "trick" is that, every move Batman makes is calculated. If he meets you at a specific spot, you can be sure that he has several exit routes planned. He can "disappear" not because he's a ninja, but because he specifically chose a spot where he can do exactly that, if the need arises. So yes, Batman is just that good.
Just like what Jake did! So you can't even argue that Batman does it in the moment and Jake was way more prepared because - uh - no.
@@RDawn Because I'm Batman?...
He's like a stray cat. Always in a place with at least 2 exits.
guaranteeing escape routes is actually part of the ninja drill, but i get your point
Batman is literally a ninja
I've never believed that Batman is just hiding, I think he is completely leaving in such a stealthy or unexpected way (jumping off roofs, using his gadgets) that the person didn't notice. I also enjoy believing he isn't doing it to be dramatic, he is just done with the convo and leaves immediately while the other person is still catching up.
The way I always read it in older iterations was that he just doesn't have enough hours in the day. In that CEO time is money sense, he literally has everything he needs, the conversation is winding down, it's time to get back on the clock. The only difference between his departure and a manager noticing the time is he has Ninja and Stage Magician training so ingrained in his act that he would actively have to try to alert someone he is leaving. A lot more modern movies just sort of use it as "ooh, mysteries," but in TAS specifically it almost always felt like "right, talkings over, back to fighting crime."
Exactly. I can't remember which scene or scenes, but I'm sure you can literally hear his cape flap as he jumps off a rail, or the zip line as he grapple hooks himself out of there. He doesn't disappear, vanish, or hide. He exits quickly.
Yeah. It always seemed like that to me. He has just decided the conversation is over, what needs to be said has been said, any more would be time-consuming chit chat, and he exclusively Irish goodbyes.
All you hear is a flutter of his cowl and he's gone
I think that's what we are supposed to assume but this is to test if it could be done by just hiding. I think they should test full escapes as well.
I love how Niko didn't expect it to work, but he's almost giddy with laughter when it does work, almost like he's actually geeking out inside.
I started crying with laughter. For me it was the idea that Batman would just be sitting right there hoping his prank wouldn’t be found out and how awkward it would be if Gordon just found him and continued the conversation.

@@jhonasmoldez7631 It's _just_ autocorrected enough so that it looks like a sentence, somewhat.
Part of why it works for Batman, is that the people he's talking to are also busy. Like he is talking to them and then gives them information(sometimes physical) and they are now thinking on the info, then when he's gone, they may do a quick look around, but they also have just been given new information on their current thing and the pressure of getting back to that with all this new info kind of pushes them harder than wanting to keep looking around.
True! I mean what are you gonna do, look for him? To what end exactly?
Sounds like how people can pick your pocket
That, and they're either people who are used to him disappearing like that so they don't even bother searching, or they have places to be and can't be bothered either.

One trope that I would love to see tested is the horror trope where people go towards weird sounds in the dark. Would be funny to see people from the office, totally oblivious of any shenanigans, hear something when they come to work and see if they'll go investigate. Could also unscrew the lightbulbs so they are there but won't turn on for added scare factor.
More realistic to test it when someone is staying long, when they are alone in a large building after hours. Most scary movies where people go towards the creepy sound are in the dark, not in a bright morning sun with friends around. But still, they should absolutely test it somehow, great idea.
been there done that, your hearts racing but you definitely go check. in the context of the movies however, you know theres some weird killing spree in town, and in that context i definitely wouldnt check xD

This needs to happen
"They're just frustrated with you, now." -- and indeed, in a lot of instances of Batman just vanishing, Gordon or whoever is often just really frustrated afterwards.
But the one I like most... Is when Batman does it to Superman. Suggesting that Batman doesn't even make a noise when he vanishes.
Considering the suite of super-senses that Superman has, I doubt Clark would be that easy to fool. Then again, it could just be a matter of mind-games and trying to expertly focus attention elsewhere or relax the focus in the right places such that Batman could vanish even from Clark.
That or maybe Clark is too polite to out Bruce's hiding spot when Bruce is trying to keep up his reputation as a mystery hero of the night.

This experiment showcses one of the most important aspects of being The World's Greatest Detective- not finding and analyzing evidence, not the physical skills of pursuit and capture, but a deep keen understanding of psychology. Jake made the smart move consulting a magician, the perfect person to explain why and how people's attention spans can be diverted and exploited.
Exactly. Jake just CONSULTED a magician. Now imagine what someone who's trained with them for years could do. This would be like if Elon Musk spent 8 years learning from David Blane and Lance Burton
And then you realize Bruce Wayne actually trained under a lot of people. In the animated series from 1992, he once had Giovanni Zatara as a teacher.
Right? And Freddy isn't even a career magician but just giving Jake the one trick every aspiring magician must know was more than enough, misdirection.
One of the reason's why Bruce Wayne has a deep understanding of fear as a weapon
He studied the art of ninja
Well i mean batman started out as a shadow ripoff and the shadow's pulp writer was Walter B Gibson was a stage magician.

You've now got to test the iconic MARVEL "Disguise" of Hoodie, Sunglasses, and Baseball Cap, that everyone thinks would never work. Also see if you can get Tony Hawk to Clark Kent himself by just putting on glasses and maybe a slight slouch to his walk (all Christopher Reeves like) in public, to prove Superman's Disguise is actually plausible.
I like the Marvel "disguise" bit, but the reason no one suspects Clark is because how he acts as Superman and as Clark. Part of the reason is because most people don't expect Superman to have a "secret identity".
I guess we should add to this another answer.
There are a LOT of people, who your brain thinks, that look like someone, who is famous, or you see on TV a lot or even some of your friends, who you chat on video a lot.
I, just for lulz and giggles, in my little hometown counted 5-6 people, who reminded me of Steven Seagall.
So it is completely possible, that people consider Clark to be someone, who just looks like Superman.
people already don't recognize Tony Hawk when he's just dressed like Tony Hawk

I’m disappointed that there was no note inside the envelope stating “I’m Batman!”
In my experience, you don't even need to hide, you can just leave. When someone's talking to you, they assume you are still there even when their back is turned, so if their attention gets caught by a task, you can have a lot of time to just leave. I do it all the time by accident: I'm walking alongside someone, talking to them, and the side I'm walking on runs out of room so I switch sides behind them, they turn back to speak to me and get the Batman reaction, sometimes I switch back to the side I was on and they take another few seconds to find me, but I would always have enough time to slip into the crowd or behind a nearby wall or something
I disappear in public on purpose sometimes I would go to another area and change like a jacket or something. It really depends on what’s going on and how well I planned it.
Just stand really still and the other person will think that you have disappeared. It worked for another superhero named Drax. He was actually in all the MCU movies but was so still that we didn't notice most of them.

Well i can imagine people jumping through the window now 😅, after all its internet
I recall once or twice in BTAS, I wanna say earlier on in the series, when Batman "vanishes" and Commissioner Gordon or Barbara or someone goes to check the window or building ledge, Batman's just seen already swinging away on his grapple. And the show depicts him has undergoing both ninjitsu and magician/escape artist training in order to develop his physical skills.
So when he's depicted as vanishing, it's really more just Batman silently leaving right away and the camera lingering on Gordon for a while for dramatic effect. Because when Batman wants to do something like Hide in the Shadows, he'll be seen stalking offscreen or something and then attacking from the shadows or just the his eyes or silhouette appearing as some goon has walked right past him or so. And the black, dark blue, and gray of his suit are colors suitable for blending into general dark surroundings.
This right here. People are honestly, in my opinion, showing how little deductive skills and cognitive reasoning they actually possess if they think he’s hiding in a box waiting for everyone to just leave.
No, he was literally training in over a dozen different forms of martial arts across the whole world in dozens of different countries, and also learned along the way multiple different forms of magician skills. Things like “Disappearing” most specifically.
He’s distracting the enemy or waiting for an ally to become distracted, before walking away as quietly as he can and then he crawls into the ventilation system or jumping off a building, grappling up to a higher vantage point, etc.
The other thing that dudes in a dingy studio cannot get their hands on are the gadgets and forms of technology Batman possess as a Multi-Billionaire.
It’s very possible to assume that Batman has multiple styles of suits. Ones for intimidation with heavy boots, as well as suits specifically designed for stealth, with boots made of specially made materials that dampen sound and make it so he produces virtually no sound when walking.
Exactly, that's what I've always assumed as well. I can't understand why anyone would think he's just hiding in a box waiting for someone or expecting to leave.
I actually think there's a level of mythos to Batman's disappearances. People don't look for him because he has this concept that is part of his entire identity about vanishing. Even though it could be easy for them to find him if they looked, he gives them the impression that it would be futile
Yeah, it's like when my little dog sneaks a food wrapper off the table when I'm watching a show with my mom. The 10lb dog sits on her lap on the lazy boy and we have an end table very close. She (the dog) will wait a while, my mom gets pretty glued to the TV so it's pretty easy for her to slowly grab it and get away. My mom has slow reaction times as well so will give up almost immediately because she also can't catch the dog once the dog gets on the ground. The dog doesn't even run that fast honestly because she knows that she won... Until I'm in the room in the same scenario and I can actually catch her so she's caught off guard
Why the fuck do people think it would be easy to find him? He literally leaves, how can you find some who isn't even there now.
@@SpecterNeverSpectator Because in many cases it wouldn't make sense for him to be far enough away to not find him if you start searching immediately. And also, you'd be able to follow his footsteps at least. If he's getting away quickly, he's gonna be running or grapple hooking away. Those things would make some noise even if he has soft shoes and gear mufflers.
@@OdaKa I remember in the First good Batman movie, when he is talking to Joker inside of the police station, inside of the interrogation room, and the light goes out for a second, and then he's gone. How the fuck did he do that? He was in a locked room, behind several layers of doors. In a police station!

I can totally imagine Batman hiding under a trash bag, and him scouting locations during the day to have hiding spots ready for the night... Then again I think he would be more inclined to have a network of getaway spots all over the city hidden under trash containers and manhole covers. It's still really impressive to see Jake actually pulling it off.
the quickest way to make it work is by having an immediate exit at hand, such that even if someone ends up curious and goes looking, You're long gone
I think the fact that the shoe missed and landed right in front of Sam made that one a whole lot better. Sam saw the shoe fall down, and it was probably way more effective than if Jake had actually thrown it down the stairs.
he should give left a a pair of shoes and a shirt and pants and a hat too
basically I want it to look like there his clothes and he just left the plane of existence

Yep worked super well, so frequently in the comics would batman be like "Gordon I think I dropped a contact lens do you see it?" Before he vanished. Also literally everyone tested did search for him which he was supposed to prove they wouldn't
Teraria minstercrafter funny man funny
@@toxxik4933 not everyone at all, unless you count confusingly looking around as "searching"
Plus the chances that you're gonna go search for a stranger in a bat suit in the middle of the night are a lot less than than when you're talking to a friend in your work place
WHY DID YOU STOP MAKING MORDHAU VIDEOS?!
You were the best!
Massive props to Jake for the big win on this. This was both hilarious and informative
I mean he lost, he didn't prove anything he was supposed to. Everyone searched which he said they wouldnt. And in a carefully chosen location after providing a distraction he still couldn't actually do batman's vanishing trick, by literally every metric he failed. If the challenge had been "can you do a vaguely similar ineffective version of batman's vanish" then he'd of knocked it out of the park
Only person to actually search the area for him was Wren, one person checked only a steps distance around where they were standing, everyone else looked from where they were standing before leaving the area - which is a natural reaction to something unusual happening, particularly in a dark space.
I think this was one of my favorite videos you guys have made! Lots of times we watch movies and assume we would know better or would do something different but then when you are in a similar situation, you realize that it is possible for you to fall into that same trap. You don’t know you are being set up
I have been exiting like "Batman" all my life. It really is just a matter of being quiet and picking the right moment when your target is facing away and not paying much attention to you. It works the best in open places with lots of people walking around or stores with multiple aisles to duck into. My family always gets upset when I disappear on them, but I love doing it because Batman did it first

There’s an important element to this that’s being forgotten. Batman disappearing is all skill and practice. I think the reason people don’t look for him is because he is Batman. They just kind of assume that he’s gone because he’s “just that good,” so there is no reason to look for him.
Thanks for saying that. You don’t _look_ for Batman. He looks for you. You’re lucky to have talked to him at all.
They just kind of assume that he’s gone..."BECUASE IM BATMAN"-HISHE
@@josephreagan9545 the one where he shrank like antman "because im bat man" cracked me up so much
And to be honest he probably actually is gone lol like he is that guy to just jump off a rooftop or out a window 😂
Yeah, in reality, half the time he has to wait for several minutes in a hiding spot. Cussing at people for not leaving already so he can seem cool.

He got him mid-sentence!
15:45 Not gonna like I didn't notice Jake being gone until the reveal as well, great work
A kid I knew in middle school that literally would disappear like that. That’s why everyone called him Ninja. He wouldn’t do it every time, so we never expected it, and we were confused about how he did it

My fav RUclips video right now no lie ruclips.net/video/kPznVA-yANk/видео.html 😅
Sal has taught you well
I always assumed he was already grapple hooked onto something through an exit and then just dipped when he was done talking to get back into the sky/onto rooftops faster. Playing the Arkham games made me think about how quick he could get away with that thing. And that scene in Batman Begins where he seems to fly with a guy up into the shadows.
This needs to be a new series where you just test movie troupes on people to see if they work in real life. This was awesome but he should of 100% jumped out on someone and said "I'm Batman!".
i was expecting that the whole time haha
Yeah, in the corridor where he vanishes, if he waited for someone to walk by then come back out he could do it then. Better yet, if he could keep his composure, he could act completely clueless and pretend he didn't just hide and he's puzzled as to why they just pushed past him after checking the envelope. That'd be a very effective way of freaking someone out!
“ you weren’t supposed to find me , I’m Batman “ lmao. I can’t stop chuckling, I’m crying.
I just love that Sam was so caught up arguing the specifics with Jake that Jake had to really thread the needle in waiting for Sam's split-second loss of eye contact

It shows their ignorance about the knowledge of film industry as a whole.

I think one of the things to factor in is expectation, If batman has a reputation of just disappearing mid conversation people are less likely to look for him since it's just a given.
Exactly my thought
Not many people have the chance to interact with the Batman. I don't know how he'd get such reputation
@@Maldito011316 because he goes to the same people, so people he talks to already know about his act
At the same time though given such a reputation people would be less likely to look away.
What he failed to realize is how the batman mythos basically covers the one weakness of this trick.
He says "why wouldn't they just start looking around for him?"
If you were talking to THE actual real life batman and he just disappeared mid conversation what would you do? This is a world where men and women with crazy super powers is pretty commonplace, and odds are you wouldn't be someone who knows anything about batman. You don't know he's just some guy in a suit with gadgets, for all you know he might actually be a bat mutant that can just zip away faster than sound.
And then even if you were betting on him not being a super-powered monster what would you do once you found him? Would you really want to find him? He is THE batman who goes toe to toe with gods on the daily! Would you really wanna risk playing peekaboo with that?
I would just hope he's already a mile away punching some thug and leaving me alone lmao
EXACTLY. Am I curious how Batman left? Yes. Do I want my bones crushed to a fine powder? No.
What would Batman do if he was ever found hiding like

I used to do this my freshman year of college in a group though.

I really wish we'd gotten to see Niko reacting to Wren finding Jake though. We get to see others actually walk off, so I'm willing to accept the Wren was the outlier; but the way this was edited makes it seems as though they were presenting it as failproof when, in fact, the first (from out perspective) victim clued on well enough that it actually failed... eventually.
That’s why after Jake did it to Wren first as a test, he said it 90% worked and had to test with others to perfect it before moving on to the other scenario.
I think I’d still call it a success even if he was found because the bamboozle was real.
What would of made it better would be putting a note in the envelope saying "I'm batman"
Underrated comment 👍
Would have
Or it could have said "YOU HAVE BEEN BATMANED"
I know it's silly but I actually always loved the Batman dissapearing thing. It's become a meme but its just funny. Batman can actually vanish when you're not looking at him. Heck, he has even done this to Superman who has x-ray vision. That means the dude isn't just hiding behind a rock or something, he's actually there one moment, gone the next.
Tho sometimes I just wonder if Superman just lets him have that for kicks. XD
I think later after meeting Superman, Batman realizes he needs to take more precautions and makes a suit lined with lead or something and has the ability to conceal his heartbeat so Superman can't hear him or see him with x-ray vision.
Comic fact: Superman has openly admitted that Batman was so stealthy, even with his super hearing, he couldn't hear that man leave.
@@powwowkid14 Wouldn't matter. Imagine this for a second: You're talking to Batman, you turn back and he's gone! You use x-ray vision and you don't see him, just...a blank lead spot that you can't see though shaped like a Batman suit crouched behind the ottoman. (Assuming he's silent enough to move without Supes hearing him, which is pretty ridiculous) The lead doesn't make him disappear from Supes, it just isn't able to be seen through. You could line your roof with lead and Superman couldn't see in, but he'd still see a lead roof. Pretty suspicious on its' own. He couldn't see Bruce in a lead suit, but he'd still see a lead Batman suit.
@@LjCaples Yeah. I know. But that's still pretty ridiculous. With the stunts Supes has pulled off, there's no way without stealth superpowers. I mean, if nothing else, he'd have to stop breathing and stop his heartbeat while hiding from him, since he has shown several times he can hear that. For that matter, he's hearing Bruces' heart as they are talking. He's literally hearing the heartbeat grow fainter as he moves away. That's like having a car sneak away while the motor is running. Unless Batman literally stops his heart while they are talking so he doesn't notice the absence, which is just silly. Ultimately, it works because the writers say so.
@@mentaya11 yea I never understood how he “stealthily” ran away with that loud ass cape. I also think Superman kinda just lets it go because idk if using x-ray vision is easy to the dude but I’d imagine he doesn’t want to take the time to scan the room. Plus other than kryptonite I don’t think he’s to worried about Bats
I love how jake tries to hide from sam, and sam just keeps talking and won't give him the chance.
And then it STILL worked. That was amazing.
That first attempt would have gone better in terms of disappearing if the camera wasn't present. The camera being there prompts that there must be something more going on, so they keep looking.
13:25 i love that he keeps looking up, like he's expecting to find jake hanging from the ceiling like fucking spider-man
Batman in his deep gravelly voice:
"Hey Commissioner, I hid an envelope in this room earlier..."
Batman has the manners people deserve but not the ones they need right now...
Niko’s laughter at 16:30 has extreme Joker vibes.
Looks like Jake’s Batman has found his foe.
I was thinking the same thing 🤣
he realized it's just one big joke
Even the way he moves is reminiscent of the Joker's mannerisms lol
Man, so glad this channel is fine, had to come rewatch this one
It's actually really fun to do this! When you are having a walking conversation and you stay just a bit behind them. You can drop back and stand on the opposite side of them and continue to walk. Usually people turn to look back at where you were originally standing and are confused for like five seconds. Before they simply turn their head some more and see you still walking along side them
I often do that involuntarily. When walking in a crowded environment I tend to weave to let the other person walk in a straight line. Regularly I see them turn to where I was a second ago and say "I'm on this side!"
Gonna try this off on my dad lol
I think one of the reasons why this works for Batman, and for Jake, is because the person being batmanned has something else to focus on. i.e. the envelope, evidence, marked bills, etc. so they're more focused on taking in that information and deciding what to do next than looking for Batman/Jake.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Wrengeance"
Bravo 👏🏽😂😂
@S O F I A 💤
Oleeee
7:05 So he disappears by bribing people to look the other way? Fitting, for Bruce Wayne 😂
The camera man kind of threw an unknown variable into the victims reaction. It maybe should have been done with a hidden camera and just Jake and the victim. That would have made for some really good "left alone in the dark" reactions of WTF. I bet lot of them would have just got the heck out of there right away and none would actually look for him. So if it works, for the most part, in practice here, then for sure Batman can pull it off. This is especially true when you consider the following. Being a masked crusader of the knight (won't refer to him as a super hero), it brings an aura of mystery and inherit expectation of being elusive. When nearing the end of a conversation and he disappears, in the night environment that is home to him, the person left there would accepts that he has just made his exit. This would discourage going to look for him. Even if his exit was too far to believe he made it there undetected and that it would be more viable that he was hiding behind something nearby. Who would really wants to find Batman in a crouched position behind a rooftop A/C unit. Even though it would most likely be expected the first time, for sure it would be expected for every next encounter with him. Again the person would not go searching for him. If jake would have done the same experiment in full Batman costume, they would have more accepted/expected/realized and then just shrugged it off right away that he did a Batman disappearing act, if they know the character/movies well.
They did it by the end of the video, you could see that there was only Jake and hidden cameras and people were like "Wtf".
the camera man was also blocking the exit way. it is kind of a trade off. camera man there blocks the exit, but the victim can be reassured some trick has occurred because camera man would've seen it happen. if camera man is not there, the exit is open so the victim can assume he simply left.
The storge room was actually a better disappearing act. In addition to the brilliant hiding place in plain site, there weren't many exits, just one. In the spooky hallway there were a lot of easy ways do leave in half a second, so it that's why those reactions weren't quite as good.
Very true.
That being said, in the movies, there are often tons of exits for Batman, so that test was perhaps more realistic.
Both only had one logistic exit the first location had a set of stairs which would be noisy to leave. The other was just a long hallway with a few doorways he could have dipped into. I think both were perfect for his trick. Super funny reactions were the icing on the cake!
I really liked the hallway because people ended up quickly leaving the hiding spot, making it fairly effective
This worked perfectly! Of course the trick with Batman's act is that he doesn't hide, he just leaves, so quickly and so stealthy that no one notices until afterwards, which does require some skills we non-ninja lack
Once he’s gotten enough key info from a suspect or the Commissioner, he doesn’t need to stay. While they’re still discussing possible motives, he’s already on his way to the culprit’s base in an abandoned chocolate factory or whatever
Sometimes. In one comic he takes an opportunity to open a window while talking with the commissioner, so Gordon is keeping it in his peripheral vision.
He looks away for a second and then turns back, hoping to catch Batman's exit.
He finds an empty room and believes that Batman somehow managed to cross the room and jump out the window in that brief time without making a sound.
After he leaves, Batman comes out of hiding barely a foot from where he'd been standing and leaves through the window.
I mean, some stealth techniques basically make you disappear. Like the “quail technique” as I’ve seen it called where you crouch down into a stationary ball as much as you can next to or behind something like a tree or rock, and people just don’t tend to look there, so if you are stationary enough they basically will never see you if you blend in even somewhat. Or like how if you can get at least 45 degrees above someone, they generally won’t see you because they’d need to look up, and even then if you blend in well enough they might not notice at a glance. You do often need to hide for a bit, but it can give you that opening you need to do a real escape, or could be if someone is catching up to you during your escape. I imagine that Batman studied several stealth methods from historical ninjas, spies, and assassins to get better at these kinds of things (which in some versions he canonically does). And he is usually a patient stoic character while as Batman, so I can imagine him feeling comfortable staying still for extended periods if it means he can keep up the Batman mystique.
@6:15 Even better reaction than the movies
I've been a fan of Corridor for years now, and I have to say it was really nice to see Jake in a video and not JUST the ad spot. I almost instinctually skipped when I saw his face, but I'm glad I didn't. I love batman, and I loved the video.
Even though I was't about to skip the beginning, seeing his face I did not expect it to be anything other than an ad either 😄
So true
For sure fond of the whole crew but Jake just calms me. Dude is just the right blend of dorky and cool, you know?
