Booster Gold is actually always saving the universe without anyone even noticing. It was so sad when Batman realized this and helped him but he forgot when his memory was erased but booster gold had taken a picture so he always remembers the time Batman actually praised and thanked him.
What batman issue is that again I've been trying to find it actually
Flash destroying the universe ain't crazy. Give me Arrow doing the same thing, and I'll be like 🤯🤯🤯
The 😊😢😢😅 45:01 😢
Flash has been wrecking worlds and realities ever since he got fast enough to time travel.
@@franciscocota6440 That's why it's boring. I need something crazy that no one would expect....like Green Arrow destroys the universe by accidentally killing batman
ILL F'N READ THAT
The Flash killing the DC Universe is one of the only times "X kills the Universe" stories have been remotely believable.
@@immortalfriezaDeadpool is the other
Ah yes. Harley quin is fast enough to grab the lasso of truth, throw it on batman, ask him a question and grab the box, before a man who can move as fast as flash can just like grab her and stop her. Gotta love comic book logic
More like disney logic
But yeah
Really feel bad for Wally after the New 52 reboot, with him being completely forgotten by DC during five f*cking years. It is pretty sad the fact Doctor Manhattan himself had to intervene to bring our boy back
It was Manhattans fault to begin with
@@ODDiSEE_it was I forgot about that
The problem i have with this is Harley isnt strong enough to knock wonder woman down, she has super durability her body would just bounce off wonder woman, and the fact that she got the upper hand on batman like that makes no sense, and the fact that she got away somehow, when two of the ppl there have extreme amounts of speed, which tells me the writer just forced the heroes to stand there instead of hunting her down in seconds lol , you cant get away from superhuman speed with regular speed lmao ,
Buying tickets for Olympics wow rob doesn't know what's coming in 2020
Huh?
Covid bro @@commiedog425
This was a unique story, to bring all the heros to what felt like Watchmen level, were you get so much of their struggles and see them for thr people trying to get by, and Wally, this was a guy who was litrally about to commit suicide.
Your enthusiasm is infectious, so even if I didn't like a story beforehand, after you explain I tend to like it.
The Flash is a great character to explore complexities with and I think it would be neat if maybe comics annually did a run exploring different mental health themes. Even tho I don't necessarily want comics to be dragged into the mud of reality. And I think anyone, anywhere, at any time can relate to the idea of having a crisis. Heck I've seen my family's pet cats have a crisis when someone else feeds them or the litter box gets moved. So, it was a good run, humanizing the hero is somewhat taboo for comics but every now and then it offers some good insights. Marvel tried to do it with grief in Wandavision but Picard season 3 nailed it with the captain of the Titan. When he broke down from the trauma he experienced tangentially in events from TNG was just, so good.
Picard was garbage in a crock-pot with sick dog diarrhea. Easily the worst show ever made on the subject of the character or that universe. The writers obviously never liked Next Generation or its characters, nor did it appear that they watched a full episode between the lot of them. It was retarded, actually it was worse. Calling it retarded is offensive to retards.
This story was AMAZING, it had genuine mystery, showed the characters in their depth and humanity, and really drew you in. This was not a bang-bang-smashy-smashy kids story at all, rather, a it was a fully developed novel with pictures. Just exquisite.
5:28 i can see two reasons why rob thinks the art is amazing
The frame of Lois talking about having to report the names she'd been given wearing only a superman T shirt.... there is a demographic they are appealing to for sure
I've read in one of the DC comics long ago, can't remember which story, but Batman essentially says that Clark Kent, even though a alien, has more humanity being raised by loving parents than Bruce Wayne. Bruce's humanness died with his parents and in it's place is a emotionally stunted empty person that is filled with rage.
Another way to kinda say that is Superman is Clark Kent's alter ego and Bruce Wayne is Batman's alter ego. Supes is Clark's mask, and Bruce Wayne is Batman's mask.
i disagree with this. bruce wayne's identity died when his parents did. and while yes he is filled with rage, he's also still that broken boy inside. i really like that batman beyond episode (special? idk) where amanda waller tells terry about the time ace, a _powerful_ child psychic, started going ballistic, threatening to like fuck up reality of some shit i dont remember but basically ace is dying from some shit i think it was a brain tumor or sth but she doesnt know and she'll die after the night is through but if she dies before fixing shit then everything stays fucked forever. so waller talks to batman and other people i dont remember and she has this doohicky that will i guess fix everything but kill ace in the process. she offers it up to the heroes and batman takes it, much to their surprise. batman takes the device all the way up to ace where reality is all sorts of fucked, and she reads his mind as he walks up and they talk as she's reading his mind and she finds out abt the device and how itll kill her and about her tumor and stuff, but then just lets batman in anyways because she also learned that batman never intended on using it, he took it so that nobody else could use it on her. he went up there just to talk to her, and get her to stop the fuckery, and in the end, thinking about how she's gonna die when the sun rises, just sits on a swing set and asks if batman can stay with her until she goes. batman silently just sits on the swing next her and gives her his hand to hold. it cuts to the sun rising on batman carrying ace's body back from where they were. yes, when batman fights crime he sees a little bit of the person that killed his parents in those people. but in the victims of these criminals he sees a bit of that lone little boy long ago, crying his eyes out.
batman isnt emotionally empty, he just healed broken. he's not just a cold heartless rage machine, at least he's not when he's written correctly... he treads the realm of rage machine for sure, but he doesnt let himself cross that line because he knows that if he doesnt stop himself from crossing it, nobody else will be able to
Thanks Rob, amazing story and just what I needed today. Every minute.
Rob I get hyped when i see your vids they help get me through the day at work. Lmao..
What i like about this story is even people with powers beyond what we could ever have are still people and deal with things mentally that we normal people do and I really admire that 😔
Well, you need to remember that comics are written for human-centric audience.
If it really depicted struggles of gods, readers would not be able to relate.
For example, Dr. Manhattan is very hard to connect to for some people, since he is so detached and alien. But realistically, most super-humans would be like that.
People can barely relate to celebrities. Now imagine a hyper-celebrity that is being worshipped as some gods - they would not need to suffer almost any issues normal people do.
Also, there is a philosophical branch called “transhumanism”.
The idea is that by becoming more superior, you can just ignore issues humans face.
Example: Have cancer? Well, now you can regenerate and ignore it. Aging? Not anymore - now you are immortal and forever impeccably youthful.
Irrationally angry partner? Erasing their mind and bending them to your own will (look up Marvel Killgrave).
Point being, the ONLY reason you can relate to (essentially living weapons) in comics…. Is because author either lacks creativity and understanding to write gods with god-like issues and god-like psychology….. or chooses to write them as average Joes for the sake of positive reception.
If you were to write a comic about somebody with highly atypical form of thinking (example - true psychopath, that enjoys eating baby chickens alive)…… well, people will be disgusted, and definitely won’t be able to relate.
Similarly, if you write a story about a superhuman that evolved/transcended morally and acts as a god of death (chooses who lives and who dies)….. and their moral compass is drastically different from normalcy…. Comic won’t land well.
Example: Imagine writing a god that chooses to erase elderly people, since they produce no societal value, are prejudiced and drain societal resources (obviously very reductive and not at all morally human-centric)…. And making them relatable to a normal human reader….. mission impossible.
And the thing is… they might not be philosophically wrong (not in a real life morals, but in their own “progressivist, result-heavy way)…. But people just won’t stand that kind of “problem” to relate to.
Anyone that argues the flash isn’t the most powerful hero in DC doesn’t understand physics. Infinite mass punch
Nerd
I like the concept of Sanctuary. The heroes need an outlet for everything going on in their lives. Just like regular people they suffer from addiction depression and other mental health problems. it's nearly impossible to talk out it with a psychiatrist need to keep their hero identity and secret identity separated. Like that Sanctuary is a place to heal so that when duty calls they are ready to save the day without worrying about any burdens they have.
Who
There should be at least one superhero somewhere in DC and Marvel who is a psychiatrist and gives therapy to like half the superhero community.
@@immortalfrieza In Young Justice, Black Canary does this for the team
was just binge watching your videos rn and then you drop this. many blessings stay safe everyone spread love
Your title says flash kills DC universe, story conclusion; he doesn't.
Anyone gonna mention how this video was made in 2019 and it’s barely uploaded now ?
What lagoon boy was doing is a real form of therapy.. not the laser .. but repeating the trauma.. over and over..
I’m so glad you cover this story frfr one my fav stories gave me a original sin feel to it just got my fav superhero Wally in it
booster gold has rocketed to my fave with these recent appearances and I love how he's so crazy is such a mild way.
Love the new titels on the videos❤
I love Booster Gold. He just parodies Kang oh so perfectly.
Let’s gooo love long videos 🎉
Of course the superhero recordings were saved, we're seeing them now :P
then years later in the animated series of young justice we find out lagoon boy or lagon was actually the second aqua lad and he ended up making a magical pact or some crap to become lagoon boy
Awesome video man ❤
The way says "Amazing"👏🏿👏🏿🤣😭cracks me up
been waiting on dis one
woahhhh wasn’t expecting an 1hr long vid!
i appreciate you Rob but i really don't like when you recover and remaster old stories cause i look forward to new ones whenever i see your page that said hope you're having a great day thank you for making my last 4 years amazing as a comic fan
Thanks for tha video
Harley just non-chalantly knocks out Wonder Woman and takes Batman as a hostage?
Rob: "And this is cool, because ... Harley Quinn knows Batman!"
*rolleyes*
Yeah lmao, even when Batman fodders her all the time and wonder women is tier under superman. Harley should have broken her leg on WM and be cold cocked by batman. Not to mention superman could have just blitzed Harley.
Hey Rob if you see this can you tell me if you are planning on continuing the oh God umm I believe it was called marvel 1643. Is there more to the story? I know it was years ago but I loved the idea. Also this cover was amazing
🎶 This ain't no place for no hero 🎶
8:12
"But doctor, I am Pagliacci."
I believe they're going to do a live action movie on Booster Gold and if they do it right it could be COMIC COMEDY GOLD!
It would be awesome if this story pushed wally to be the next reverse flash and somehow pushing new 52 wally to be a better flash and ultimately ends with him coming back to the hero side of the flash family... that would be an awesome story... the man who lost everything when to the dark and came back 😊
That's a Darth Vader storyline. I'm down for it
I don’t think you could do it with the main Wally
@@1stan2amendmentabsolutist Which of the two?
I believe one of the few times something like Paradise occurred before this is in Batman Beyond with the character Maxene where not only does she know Terry was Batman but she knew him since childhood. So, they can just talk about anything to each other.
There's a big theory in BTAS that after a certain point, the Ivy that was shown was a clone and that the original had been dead. So, having a clone Ivy showing up here is nothing new.
id love to know where u download the images for all your amazing videos
The art is absolutely gorgeous my word
wally going insane because of the whole new 52 thing seems realistic since he basically lost his whole identity and that he actually does have the power to kill the justice leauge which makes this story soo good!!
So...am i going nuts? Didn't you already go through this series quite a while ago? Its a great run with a pretty strong resolution. Never read it just remeber watching ut on your channel 🤷🏽
dude i had the same thought ive seen this before…
wow hits hard, amazing story, ...... perfect
Now, this is just a whole new level of INSANE over here, man!
This was such a divisive series, so it’s interesting that you’ve focused in on that.
Wally and Berry 👀😬 I LOVE that hugging shot❤😂
Was this not a video you already had a full video on?
when he says Jai and iris together all the time, it sounds like hes saying Giant Iris....and I think thats a pretty cool name for a kid.
The title is literally " The flash kills the DC universe " Yet the story was so great I was still guessing who the killer was 😅😂😅 Hats off to a great storyteller as well, keep up the great work!
Thank you Rob. You get me through my workday and expand my comic knowledge. Hope you keep this up for years to come 💪
Bro, them 2020 Olympics tickets are hard to find... good luck my dude!
"Nobody has done this before" I mean ... Watchmen is a thing xD
I remember reading a few issues of this storyline I liked it a lot at the time it came out
It was something I was honestly looking for. I often question if any Hero in entertainment often experience PTSD or any other psychological trauma after their encounters on the job.
Heroes in crisis did what it was supposed to correctly. Subverting the expectations of a traditional comic with humanization. The ending while disappointing was more of it trying to be a traditional comic which is it's weakness. I would have liked it if it was non canon and they used that to have a better ending so that it properly explained the traumas of the heroes without having the ramifications of killing off characters
Ngl the twist near the end reminds me of steins;gate.
I really appreciated this story and thought it was great. Was really a breath of fresh air to have a crisis event where the whole multiverse wasn't about to be destroyed by some super op villan and have a story that was character development driven.
I absolutely love love this story. Never read it so this is my favorite video so far definitely top 5! Love this channel!!!
Wow was the first video from before covid?? Daaaamn
Hell yes a new rob video... from 4 years ago.
5:35 ya, me too. I wouldn't even mind if it's jut wonder women in the picture frame.
😂😂
Harley playing go-fish with penguins is just too on point.
Blue Jay was a nice call back to the old Justice League Europe and the death of Silver Sorceress. Underrated Comic IMO.
Hey uncle rob I hope u red this can u do a video on billy butcher killing marvel or dc super heroes
5:31 Google photos magic eraser+ portrait orders and it's yours.
Batman saying “well I don’t know if that’s true” is PEAK and hilarious lmaoo
I died inside when he said Japan Olympics
4:02 “he’s like ant man but he just grows wings when he shrinks” na bro he’s like wasp 😂😂😂😂😂
The shield 🛡 they sitting in front of is like wonderwoman lasso of Truth and when they sit in front of the shield and makes them tell the truth and talk confess
*Fun fact:* For those who wanted Wally to permanently be Flash, in the novelization of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Barry stays dead forever, as the epilogue show us a flashforward in which Wally is still the only Flash when Bart Allen is already a kid. It was truly a satisractory moment
Nothings satisfying about that clown being the flash. Barry is back and is the real flash, not wally.
@@Auron1Roxas2 Wally is the best Flash.
@@MarginalSC No he's not.

can’t believe I watched this whole video in one sitting
the olympics in 2020?? how long ago was this recorded rob
Rob you goin to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics…are you a speedster? Lol
20:14
Yeah and Supes couldn't get the rope back from Harley, okay... I really hope he let her take it, because he knew Bruce was lying.
Put out yesterday and talking about going to music festivals from 2019 and 2020? I'm confused
when u switched it up from part 1 it started getting confusing
5:22 yeah the drawing... it's uhhh it's really good 😳😂
Can we go over One Minute War!!!
How many times are you going to upload the same story?
March 2019? Reupload?
Hopefully he got the refund for those the Olympic tickets
Good video, title is a bit misleading though. I think this story is good enough to stand on its own without the clickbait title.
I mean isn’t this like a normal Tuesday for the Flash
Had to check the release date when you brought up buying tickets to the 2020 olympics lol
You forgot the third way people choose their world. The life that they fear it true.
The illusions of sanctuary and clones. Go back in time to a moment before he killed everyone and swap each person with a clone and use sanctuary to play out how each died. Take them all somewhere to remain hidden to maintain the sequence of events as they appeared to take place. Once the events are complete, the real people can come out of hiding.
The writers already introduced the mechanics needed to pull this off. Time travel, illusions in sanctuary, and using clones to fake the death of a character. The same way that Wally's corpse was just a clone, all of the other corpses were as well.
Brightburn Request👿Beyond Omega Level: Kulan Gath!
Rob must have time travel powers. Those dates were over 3 years ago lmao
Minor retread. I'm guessing for current flash relevance.
Beyond Omega Level: Icon (DC Milestone Comics)
It looks like loius has no junk in the trunk.
1:17:10 You want to know why we only look for verification of our own opinions?
That right there. That's the core of internalizing suffering. That is what only looking for verification without challenge does to someone.
As depression seeks out depression, so does darkness the shadows, and when it finds it, it validates itself by not being alone.
We no longer have people to tell us "You don't need to suffer, i'm here for you". We have people that tell us "Yes, you're right, _you're right to suffer because you are valid, your reasons are valid.",_ and this comic highlights that aspect of modern society perfectly.
And it is absolutely the single most horrific thing about the acceptance movement.
Tunnel-vision is the death of all exits.
This comic hits deep with me, because i've been there, and it's absolutely horrible. Getting to know the worst parts of yourself on a personal level...
And to be honest, i'm not sure i'm fully out of that state of mind, nor do i think i'll ever truly be.
But i learned and have been taught to surround myself with people who challenge that part of myself, that part that wants to seek out that darkness.
... Now imagine if you wake up and everyone who stood in your way is gone, and all that's left is a long, endless corridor, a tunnel without end nor exit.
I like Marvel.
_But this is why i love DC so much more._
We going to get the next Jon Kent story soon?
**BLANK** kills the **BLANK** universe is just comic book madlibs.
Book 3 cover is very reminiscent of the Watchmen cover.
A beautiful homage.
Who watches the Justice League?
Wonder when they'll make Crisis the Crisisening or Crisis the Crisis.
Top 20 most powerful DC characters hierarchy please. And when Marvel revises their hierarchy, it would be cool to hear you break it down.
DC confuses me though. I always wonder about characters like CA Superman and where he stands compared to the Presence or Perpetua.
The presence will always be number one, nothing can be stronger... And then you have the 2nd strongest being in all DC comics, Lucifer morningstar.... Then number 3,4,5 which are subjective unlike the first 2 positions, But CAS is DEFINITELY top 5.
And regarding the 2nd part :
Cosmic armour superman, the darkest knight and golden wonder woman > perpetua.
The power scaling among those 3 is MOSTLY : TDK= anti crisis WW > CAS, seeing as how TDK and anti crisis WW were almost undamaged and could only be destroyed by the red sun thingy whereas CAS was shown to be injured and parts missing with physical hits from Mandrake
