Curiously, Omega's suit is heavily inspired by the one used by Bruce Wayne Jr., the son of Batman in the "Generations" universe. Upon becoming the third Batman, Jr. initially wore the same costume as his predecessors while forming a wholesome dynamic duo with Kara Kent (Supergirl). However, after Kara was horribly murdered the day of their wedding, Jr. was so devastated that he created a completely dark suit that hid all of his skin as a way to symbolize his new absolutist and violent persona similar to that of Rorschach and Azrael.
@@zacharysigal6012The funny thing is that could be the case. Fortnite is cannon in the DC universe, and considering Omega Batman was collecting trophies from everyone he killed he could've just taken Omega's suit for his own.
Reminds me of the cosmic horror story "All Tommorow's" where an alien race invades humanity and absolutely defeats all humans and subjects them to horrible forced de-evolution (many poor souls became sentient cubes which is horrifying) for hundreds of millions of years, but even then, what humanity had become managed to defeat the aliens and no longer be prisoners. They went through one of the most hopeless scenarios, and their indomitable spirits overcame a seemingly unstoppable threat.
Honestly, i think the most eerie and morbid part of this comic is that "Speed Force Storm". Imagine being trapped forever in a storm, constantly running, constantly exhausted, constantly in pain. No one can save you because the storm itself kills anyone that gets remotely near it in the worst way possible. Either they get aged up to dust or down to mere cells. And you'd have to imagine how that would feel, too... Once hit by the lightning, everything in the world including yourself slows down immensely, from your point of view. You are conscious through all of it, trapped in one seemingly endless state as you wait for yourself to age and die. Or, arguably worse, you feel your very mind regress at incredibly high speed, giving you a feeling akin to actual insanity as you feel yourself slip away in real time, becoming lesser and lesser, becoming weaker and weaker until you are... nothing. In both cases, you silently observe the storm... The miasma of tangled, tortured souls begging for release from theit torment, seemingly conscious of your fate and their part in it...
My friend theorised that Barry tried reverse the timeline but because there’s an imbalance in the anti life equation. It affected the speedforce. So he ended up in a speed tornado, then Wally tried to reset and then it happened to him. Then the first Flash tried and it also happened to him too. Now they are just one tornado. I love DC so much, it’s so darn metal
The way this started, I felt like they were doing a "Shutter Island" thing. Then it decided it was a Batman comic after all and did its own thing. Omega being the real Batman all along was too obvious, though.
It’s funny how this plot is similar in quite a number of ways to Mega Man Zero. Post apocalypse, small groups trying to survive, you play as a clone of the original hero, the original hero turns out to the be the villain, and the villains are literally both called Omega.
This had the best tropes i like in this kind of story: good joker redemption, bad batman, villains splitting into siding with the heroes and going all in on villainy, all the op characters incapacitated so theres more tension and finally- a happy ending that makes sense and is satisfying
This story reminds me a lot of a short saga in the "Rat-man" series. Basically this scientist create a device to rewrite reality and want to use it to erase all superheroes (because for him they're just a bunch of idiots running around in spandex) but he change is mind when this super evil entity reveal that is going to use this new reality to consume all the universe. To stop the entity the scientist then dicide to use the machine to write a new reality were heroes can inspire people to hope in dark moments. The entity mocks him saying that it will exist even in the world and will rise to consume it one day saying something on the line "What a single small light can do in absolute darkness?" to which the scientist replay with "everyone will be able to see it".
Batman who laughs is a great one off overpowered villain Making him the central Thanos level threat of the entire DCU was the mistake. His schtick gets old VERY quick. He signifies the most annoying parts of Batman; Palpatine levels of “i knew this would happen so I did this alongside this because I thought this would happen on a Tuesday but it’s Wednesday so I had my backup plan initiated 6 years ago to line up with this exact moment” bullshit that got old instantly. Yea, Batman is extremely smart and resourceful, but he’s not fucking god
@@Lone_RocketIf you've ever read Injustice, Batman is able to concoct a whole plan against Superman as just himself and a handful of heroes. So idk to be honest, I kinda feel like Batman is supposed to be that intelligent that he really can just end the world if he wanted to. And that's why he's so great, because he holds so much power through influence/understanding/wits that he CAN do something world ending, but he uses it to make the world better instead. That's what makes Batman so great tbh. He has more power than anyone gives him credit for, and through everything, ALWAYS has the heart to keep going and fight for those who can't fight for themselves.

been thinking over scott snyder's final batman story: last knight on earth. i've come to the conclusion that it's about how the young will be more hopeful about the world over the people that are old. another thing i notice was that omega (older batman) became cynical about life and that made him become a loner. then you have younger batman who was more hopeful about the world and that helped him garner a community; the young batman started as a loner and then grew out of it. plus, where omega starts at is where young batman ends up being at. omega starts with hopefulness about the world, being in the justice league; but, at some point omega gets disillusioned with everything. this story starts in a dark place and is hopeful in the end. like joker becomes a robin and bruce is back in wearing blue. thinking about it some more, the three costumes that bruce wears is about his character growth: from a damaged person to a more put together person. with how dark and depressing it is at the start of the story, it makes thematic sense why young bruce is in a mental institution. because being hopeful in a world that is all dark and depressing, must mean you are mentally not all there. on a more metatextual sense, with three different batman looks for young bruce, is saying you can write batman 3 different ways and still be batman. you can write him on a more psychology level (with the straight jacket look), you can write him more as modern batman (being psychology damaged but at the same time being a bit hopeful), and a more hopeful put together batman (basically adam west batman) looking back when this book came out, it's interesting that this story came around the time snyder did his justice league run. this batman story turns into a justice league story. Also it foreshadows, scott snyder's ending of his justice league run; the ending for that run has the world chose the villains side over the heroes. for a more metatextual sense, it's about scott snyder's experiences writing for dc comics. now this might be a stretch but hear me out. snyder's famous thing starting out was writing for batman and then, the next famous thing he did was write for the justice league. another meta thing could also be inretrospect in last knight on earth, could be a commentary on new 52. it's been said before that the new 52 was "trash", but the one good thing that people always said was snyder's batman run. so the post apocalyptic waste land in last knight on earth, is the new 52 and the one good thing about it was "younger" batman. which one of the talking points about the new 52, was that the heroes were suppose to be younger.
12:15 Wait, if Luthor’s been bringing over numerous variants of baby Superman, but they all end up dead, does that mean he’s robbed other realities of their Supermen?

@@amrotamer6951 Eh OML feels like it's just a tour of a marvel universe where they can just make every character a monster, this one feels like it's trying to legitimately tell a story. Like OML has its place, but that place is being adapted into logan, a film infinitely better than the comics could ever be
Joker actually becoming Robin is cool and very symbolic of the whole "hope" thing, because it's like the ultimate triumph of Batman's ideology over Omega/Joker--"Anyone can change and be better". It's the inverse of all the stories where Joker proves his "One Bad Day" thing by creating Red Hood, or getting Batman to kill someone; in this case Batman managed to finally prove that his villains CAN change, even the most horrible of them, and now Joker is Robin.
I’ve been meaning to check out this comic for awhile. Scott got some flack for some of the stuff that happened during his run on Batman and I always thought that was kinda unfair. Thank you for covering it his comic. I think this is probably his best work involving Batman.

@@edwinvanderhaeghen2221tbh I don’t think superman would go through with the competition even if he knew he would have won. It would have resulted in lex Luther dying and superman doesn’t kill.

The entire medical facility section reminds me so much of The Darkness 2 during it’s medical-amnesia portion where villains and allies are just other patients making you question your own sanity
This is why Batman always has been my favorite superhero…not because of how people think he has plot armor-not because of his morals but because of how he never loses hope no matter what. The difference between him and other hero’s is that his will is literally unmatched.

15:45 lesson learned, if you annoy your enemy enough they may do what you want.
1:22 the arkham bell tone was masterfully placed
I would have loved a high budget animated adaptation of this with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as Batman and the Joker. RIP Conroy
2:50 okay but why does Dr. Hudd sound like Crispin Glover from Back To The Future?
A superman trained by batman sounds scary lol.
Super Robin
@@bhuvan_357_5 He cant keep getting away with this 😂😂
I love the detail of omega comforting Alfred. It shows that he isn’t pure evil, he’s a misguided soul desperately trying to fix a broken world.
The addition of the Batman: Arkham Asylum announcement effect or as I call it the: "Dun Dundun duuuunn", is a really nice touch.
The fact a story like this is more likely to be turned into a movie by DC than anything dark that Marvel has in their comic stories
Thank you for the longer videos.
20:31 the baby has the perfect "WTF" face
Feel like this must have been glossed over in the video. Why tf would superman agree to this weird contest in the 1st place?
Is there a lore reason why Superman and Luthor had that competition? Were they stupid? Also does anyone know the way back to Ham Aslume?
Sometimes for a concept to work you sorta have to hand wave certain aspects because well it can't ALL fall into place. Besides super-man is a boy scout enough to put his faith in humanity. So I wouldn't put it above him to do this.
@@edwinvanderhaeghen2221tbh I don’t think superman would go through with the competition even if he knew he would have won. It would have resulted in lex Luther dying and superman doesn’t kill.
@@DoomSlayer-gj8qbhe doesn’t have a strict no kill code like Batman. In his own words “I just generally don’t kill people.”
In the history, Luthor says that superman will move fast enought for pout him both put of harm way (so he brinks a gun to blow his brains made of plome for sups not see, to not be a fool) and thats why sups is inpale, he was looking at luthor to save him.@@DoomSlayer-gj8qb
@@Mattsothelioma yeah but he still wouldn’t let someone die
This story was really awesome and badass in my opinion.
Love the way you bring the comic to life throughout your videos!
the little Arkham asylum dings add so much eerie ambience
Superman really let Luthor decide the fate of the world on an online internet poll. Trolls gonna troll man.
I keep being surprise by how all this Evil Batmen keep killing Darkseid from all people. 😜
This is one of my all time favorite yt vids
Nice touch on adding the creepy intercom from Arkham Asylum
wait guys i’m gonna go buy the comic and read it first, someone like this so i remember to come back and watch it
Why watch it after reading the comic
I haven't came back to Mullet Man in a while and I know this cause last time I was here he had 10k subs now he has 500k. I'm just glad he got sucess
Here I was watching a comic book reading to help me sleep... 5 minutes in I don't think I'll ever sleep again
the use of the evil withins asylum backround is fucking amazing! great video!!!!
I like how, even though hes evil, he let alfred die in peace with the belief he saved the waynes. Shows that no matter what batman will always care for alfred
You know the world is bad when the joker becomes robin and question what happened to the flash tornado
The speed force storm freaked me out, it's this horrible amalgamation of these former heroes begging for a way out of their misery, and yet there's nothing that can be done.
I've not watched the whole video yet. I've hit like, but after 40 seconds, you've piqued my interest so much that I've just gone and ordered the first book! I'll come back to the vid once I've read it! 😁
I'm back! I hadn't connected some of the threads (since I hadn't figured out the timeline) but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. Your summary made a lot of things clearer, so I'm totally going back to read it a second time. Thanks for holding this story up for us all to see!
Hell yeah new mullet man comic’s video 🔥
Wow I really appreciate how you narrate this. Subscribing rn.
2 minutes in and this video is legitimately unsettling. Amazing work
The entire medical facility section reminds me so much of The Darkness 2 during it’s medical-amnesia portion where villains and allies are just other patients making you question your own sanity
Batman Superman duo is one of best duos if not the best duo ever
This is why Batman always has been my favorite superhero…not because of how people think he has plot armor-not because of his morals but because of how he never loses hope no matter what. The difference between him and other hero’s is that his will is literally unmatched.
Absolute banger of a video recommendation.
Aint no way Joker looks like a excited father at the end.
Man just wanted to be a robin
Hearing the Arkham charm play in the background gave me severe PTSD
Great video Mullet-Man Comics :]
the weakness of will having to play a role in the green lantern's projection is actually a genius idea
this version of Superman will literally say "Batman and joker? ho you must be referring about my 2 dads"
that baby clark looked cracked out of his mind at the end
This went from Shutter Island: Batman Edition to Fallout: DC real quick and then suddenly pivoted into Injustice but Batman and I kinda love it.
I love this video thank you for making it good job m8
That arkham asylum sound effect made my skull react
Somewhere between 1:50 and 2:00 there is a Freddy Fazbear laugh sound effect…
absolutely love how they just let The Joker sorta hang around
That straight jacket suit is one of my fav Batman suits.
Does anyone know the graphic novel shown in 0:05? The one that looks super grunge in the intro of the video... thanks
Arkham a serious house on a serious earth
@@eastonenroth2366yea he has a video on it
"It takes a madman to save a mad world." Joker here, probably.
Batman just taking Jokers head like kratos is amazing lmfao
"Batman and Noggin" Hands down Joker's best joke.
The artist really likes sideshaves huh
GOD DAYUM the sound effect are PEAK
This might be the best Batman comic I’ve ever seen..
20:30 that baby looks horrified
